An open letter to the Baltimore Orioles.

Hey, I know you guys are like basically the worst team in baseball -- here's an idea, get some pitching next year! -- but that's not what I'm here to talk about.    Remember in 1996 when the Yankees' fan (may you rot in hell) reached over the fence to catch the "home run"... Well here is your chance at paybacks.  Today's the last game at Yankee Stadium.  How sweet would it be to return the favor and beat them?  Their last game in the historic venue destroyed by the O's.... C'mon, you gotta win this one!

PS- Who wants to bet that Jeffrey Maier created and updates his own Wikipedia page?  What a douche bag.

Sarah Palin totally hates Polar Bears.  Read about it here.   

I happen to like Polar Bears a lot.  Barack 'n' Roll!

Today in failing...

-missed the East Village beer crawl

-did not go to The Souls roller derby half-time show in Asbury Park

-Priceline would not accept my bids on flights to Hawaii

-American Apparel would not let me exchange a pair of tights

-currently watching Bad Boys II for a second time today

Seriously thinking about going to bed even though its barely midnight.   I used to be fun.

Currently reading this book of short stories by Sedaris, not actually written by him but chosen by him. Maybe its because my reading is mostly limited to the subway to/from work but short stories are great - Nine Stories/Salinger, Headless/Weissman, A Stranger In This World/Canty...  So good.  I won't lie, I kind of want to read A People's History Of The United States but I'm fairly certain I will get bored with it before I even make it to the Christopher Columbus part.

More football in t-minus 13 hours!

Re: #6

It happened back in July thanks to Carly Richardson.  Most excellent.

Also, I probably should have been born Canadian.  It would make me appreciate things like  this even more.

count me in!

we should get seats as close as possible to where the '93 WS home run
was hit to incase they try to do a physical reenactment.

seriously though, should we get cheap seats or good tickets?
is there some thing where we get to meet joe carter if we sit in the
100's?

So tired from field hockey today and kinda sunburt from it... which shouldn't be happening at 4pm...  Boo.  I thought my days of shinguard tans were behind me.

And what happened to muxtape.com??  Stupid RIAA, so sad!  Duh, people can purchase songs there... not just streaming.  It is (or was) a good thing!!

I'm the worst blogger ever...  I guess I have been a little too involved in the Twilight book series (finished #4 last night... and am in love with Edward Cullen) and too many show in the past month.  

Here's a little breakdown of the last month:

I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff.... Hopefully September is a little quieter!  Whew.

In the time its taken me to type this, the Blue Jays have gone from being down by 2 to tied to down by 1 to down by 2.  UGH.  Boo Yankees!  Let's go Jays!  Summon your inner-fucking-Joe Carters already!

My fantasy (or fancy, depending on who's asking) football team is having our draft on Wednesday.  So stoked!  Anyone got any pointers?

I also have a twitter now... because I clearly don't have enough interwebz.  You can and should 'follow me'.  I'm: katietothemax.

Cool? Cool.
