That was slightly boring I must admit…

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

So I ended up going to my first major league baseball game last night, instead of in September.  It was interesting and boring all at the same time.  I’m used to watching baseball on TV and being bored, and when I’m bored I escape to the computer or by flipping to another channel.  Also listening to the colour commentary makes it a little more interesting since I really don’t know anything about baseball.

And in the party of 5 people that were there, I was sitting at the end of our grouping of five next to who we all very lovingly have termed “Mr. Grumpy Pants”  although he wasn’t *too* too grumpy last night.  But I was very bored out of my mind.  I didn’t even get a bingo card to play with.  Moop.

And the game kind of royally sucked too.  I think we lost 8-0, or something like that.  I didn’t even get any beer, cracker jack or a giant foam finger.  Well, I wasn’t planning on getting a foam finger until the Boston game anyways.

Anyways, at least now I know roughly where I’ll be sitting for the game against Boston in September!!

I took pics on my cell phone so expect my moblog to be updated with them within the next 6-8 weeks!!

hahahahaha. absoloutely awesome.

So I'm one of probably millions of people who have googleads on their regular blog. I'm almost never expecting to get paid from it (I make about 2 bucks a month right now, so at that average I'll get paid 3 years from now)

Anyways, googleads takes whatever's on your main page's text and grabs ads for it, right?

Right now as I'm looking at my page, I'm currently advertising Studex piercing guns. *giggles* Maybe I should write an article on how they suck. Then I'll be getting more of their ads! To laugh at!

OH MY GOD

I'm in so much f*cking pain right now. I haven't had this type of PMSing pain in so f***ing long. Seriously. This absolutely sucks. I want to go home and cry.

god doesn’t want me to BJJ

Apparently my plans once again have been foiled.  Toronto has a Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu club, that’s encouraging women to join by offering free classes on Sunday.  So far I’ve gone to one class in the past 4 months.  Other times I’ve been stopped due to traffic restrictions, more traffic restrictions, parades, long weekends, and having the timeslot change without me knowing.

Today I trekked all the way over to find out they were doing renovations.  ARRG!

Thus, I furiously walked around Toronto for an hour, then drove home very quickly to find myself at the gym where I haven’t been in absoloute ages.  I did 30 minutes on the elliptical/cross-trainer, then worked out my oblique(sp?) abs, and my top & bottom abs at 40lbs each, 15 reps for 3 sets.

Now I’m at home.

I just wanted to post that I “furiously” walked.  I never thought it was possible until today to walk furiously.

“Take me out to the ballgame”

Friday, August 18th, 2006

So a little while ago I saw an ad on Craigslist, advertising for an interesting barter experience. The deal was to offer something, pretty much almost anything, to trade for two seats at a Toronto Blue Jays home game. Interesting enough, and I’d never been to a ball game, and at most I would lose the time it took to take pictures of what I had up for trading. So why not? I knew the game was Jays vs. Kansas City, who I was told was one of the worst teams in the league, but whatever, it’d still be a fun time.
I sent off my application for the tickets by offering to trade the following:

  • 10 kinder egg toys
  • a dance mix 93 cassette tape
  • a promotional pocket calculator/calender
  • stickers for my friends bands and fishing website
  • a hand-made hemp bracelet with their choice of beads

I had my friend Brandon promise to take me to the game, where we would indulge on $8 beers and he would buy me a giant foam finger (but a little one since the overly large ones are just scary looking… it’s a bit of a Simpsons reference)

Well I received an e-mail close to the time of the ending of the contest, I honestly didn’t expect to win since the first person was offering a pink gorilla outfit, and it was like a neon electric pink, and what on EARTH could compete with one of those? (The question being, if you owned one… why would you give it up?!)

Yes, well I received an e-mail stating that two winners were selected, and I was given my choice of tickets, either the KC as advertised, or a game later in September, with Jays vs. Boston. I picked Boston. And it wasn’t even a requirement for me to mail out the goodies I had promised. (Although it was my plan to when I got the tickets in the mail, planning on using the return address as a point of origin)
Apparently I picked the better tickets, but I picked based on Brandon having random “Free” tickets that get him into any game (Other than New York or Boston) up until August, and we could use those for the KC game as well.

Go figure he doesn’t put his return address on the envelope :P

Anyways, after all this I have tickets to an awesome game, I have a new internet friend, and I have a new link on my blog. Think Inside The Box is who set up this barter and it was definately a fun experience!

Now… to figure out where on earth one buys CrackerJacks anymore!
