couple things
1) the Cubs just lost a very bizarre game.
2) Governor Arnold?
3) I was looking atthe sitemeter referrals to my blog and was amused by the various google searches that bring it up...
here are some examples:
-pictures theo epstein
-hey hey holy macro cubs
-chicago protest garbage strike
-proof and university of chicago and filming
-puzzles skyline chicago night
-mommie dearest mamma mia
-I am the only hit for the search "queer eye for the queer guy" harvard
-I am NOT the only hit for "Theo epstein" soccer brother
....which I find a little freaky as a search criteria, because, um, well...yeah.

I would like to say, for the record, that I am GOING TO THE ALCS GAME ON THURSDAY.
oh yeah. Thursday to NYC, first (maybe second) shuttle to boston in the AM for the wedding.

oh, and I PROMISE that by the end of October I will be less baseball-obsessed. But until then, can you blame me?

I heard on the news tonight that the city's new strategy for hiding the trash around Wrigley (what with all the media attention from around the country) is to pick up anything that is keeping a dumpster from closing...that way they aren't actually asking anyone to cross picket lines. It's one of those Daly strategies that is so simultaneously brilliant and skeezy.

Also, to the people screaming and honking outside my window: when they lose you should go home quietly and hope they'll win tomorrow. DON'T KEEP ME AWAKE OUT OF YOUR FRUSTRATION. Or go to the bar and drown your sorrows. But don't do it outside my window.

Yes, I chose to live on Waveland avenue (you know, the one where all those homeruns from tonight's wild game landed). Yes, I voluntarily moved into this neighborhood and knew what that meant.

So you have a right to mock me for all my whining about parking/traffic/garbage/noise in regular circumstances. However, I still reserve some whining rights when it gets excessive. Like right now.
The play 18 night games during the entire season and then have 6 scheduled during the playoffs with no warning. The neighborhood is not actually designed for night baseball.

But Jimmy Buffet was at the game tonight. Hee.
