Never Smile At A Crocodile

I have the internet in my room now. Hurrah.

The White Sox. They have the second best record in baseball, behind the Detroit Tigers. Who also happen to be in our division. Goddamnit. Everytime we win, they win and everytime they lose, we lose. Well except for tonight, though we did give a valiant effort, coming back from a 8 run deficit to go into extra innings, and then losing in the 13th. I went to two games this week, versuses the Cards and Astros, and they were both awesome games. Last season if you wanted to go to the game, you just went to the ballpark and bought tickets there. This year you actually have to plan it out ahead of time. What is that about? I mean I love the whole World Series thing, but $25 for parking now? Jesus Christ. It's a good thing I like you guys.

I didn't get to go to Blues Fest because I was as sick as a beast that weekend. I hardly ever get sick like that, and the one weekend I do I miss one of my favorite events of the summer. Stupid fucking fevers and swollen lymph nodes.

The Chicago Public Library by me sucks, so I go to one of the suburbs, Alsip, and use their library. Only they have to make it as difficult as possible for a non-suburbanite to get a goddamn library card for there. I had to get a new Chicago one first, which literally took 3 seconds, then go to Alsip, fill out a form and then wait "3 to 4 weeks." Jesus Christ, for a library card? I JUST WANT TO READ. I've been buying a lot of books lately, and I can't afford it anymore. Of course I could have avoided this if I hadn't let my old Alsip card expire like 3 years ago, but I'm getting ansty. It's been at least four weeks now. GIVE ME THE GODDAMN CARD ALSIP.

One of the days last week I was sick, I vowed that I wouldn't go to the bar for an entire week. I come up with a lot of good ideas each night when I'm going to sleep, like I'm going to stop smoking, start running and become anorexic, but I actually wanted to follow through with it to see if it made a difference in my weight. And good lord, did it ever. I know, right? Who would have thought that beer had an effect on your weight. I totally gained weight in college, but now I'm wondering why I don't weigh 350 pounds.

Obsessive song of the week: Crazy by Gnarles Barkley. They're going to be at Lollapalooza too. Living in Chicago is a delight.

It's been a really good summer so far. Good times at the bar with friends, watching the Sox win (almost) every day, my new sweetass Mark Buerhle t-shirt, not starting work until 11:00 each day this week, my gaucho pants that I practically live in because who needs jeans, but when I do wear the jeans they're a tad bit looser, seeing my favorite bar band this past Friday and getting their website so I can now stalk them on a weekly basis, getting to go to the bar with my sister and being back on the Southside where the guys are so much cuter and less obsessed with their looks than the guys in DeKalb. I win and you lose, bitches.

I thought that was just a senior citizen babysitting service/pediphile breeding center.

What Kurt said. I was even okay with Ozzie calling Gay-Rod names, but Ozzie really is a complete fucking fuctard!

Katie said...

Do I sound like I'm defending Ozzie? I didn't even mention him in this post. I think it's wrong when anyone calls anyone a fag. Get off my back about it, bitches.

Who's Ozzie Guillen?

I Love baseball! if i didn't have to work but still got paid I'd get Sky (pay tv bastards) and watch the games, I used to play back in school..ahh those were the days,

Cant say i share your love for the library, thats what the internet is for

Kurt said...

ohhh. did i offend you with the mention of Ozzie G.? Is that why you don't post more?
btw, maybe you got outta school too early. my daughter has told me she wants to do grad school so as to avoid loan paybacks and deciding what she wants to do for a living...
i told her if she was able to find someone to pay for it to go for it. she did. apparently at the University of Alabama, if a grad student teaches a 100 or 200 level class, their tuitition is covered. Grad students are much cheaper than real professors apparently.
