I mean, I don't LIKE small talk -- in a huge violent way -- but I *can* do it. I just vastly prefer not to. That doesn't make me an Aspie. It just makes me a dick.
It will surprise nobody that Teppy and I are as one in this.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I dont think that it makes you a dick to not like small talk. I'm a huge extrovert, and I don't really like it. I mean, if the conversation doesn't delve into something meaningful in a few minutes, I move on.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
It was fun and got me all hepped up on goofballs baseball.
Seriously. He actually lay down beside me at around midnight and then woke me up with a long, long stream of barely-audible muttering -- I thought he was sleep-talking about the book or grumbling about Matilda's night noises, but he was muttering Little League draft picks and possible team rosters. Over and over and over.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
For me, that, plus there are a lot of human beings who I don't really consider worth the time to talk to, for me. Not that they are without value, but socializing with them will not add value to my life.
Plus, apart from the People Who Are Not Work, I get socialed out.
And nobody wants to talk about the geeky stuff that I actually go on at length about.
And, you know what, I am not a worse human being for watching tv, both as a child, and as an adult. Sorry, not directed at you all.

Oh David, I was at fanfest. I got to hear Swish share that he prefers commando to boxers or briefs. I got to hear the guy ask Crosby if he was going to "step up this year". Drama!
But seriously, it was an icky day as we headed to the ballpark. When we got there, the sun was out and it was nice up until fanfest ended at 3 - then the skys opened and it sprinkled for a while.
I got to snuggle Matilta yesterday. Such a sweet bundle of baby loveliness.

I hear that Matilda totally took to your bosomly capacity.

Lucky!
Apparently Milton was all-charm, all day. Made himself available to everybody, even away from the scheduled events. I think he really feels like he's finally found a home in baseball.
It was weird seeing Crosby and Harden. Like... Oh yeah, if those guys were on our team we'd totally be better.
Last year I thought the A's were the team to beat. This year, I think their offense is really insufficient. We're going to have a tough time catching the Angels without a single player that can slug .500. Basically, Chavy, Crosby, Bradley, Swisher, DJ and Piazza will all have to provide 25-30 HRs to get us there and that seems unlikely. I mean, they're all capable, but Swish is the only one that I'd bet money on hitting that mark. Most of them will get hurt again.
Raq - apparently Swisher and Blanton toured European naval bases last year, including Greece, Spain and Italy. Cool beans.

Next year, I'm gonna know what that shit means. Blame Keith Olbermann.

Shit, I'm trying to remember his home run call during SportsCenter. I don't know if he had one, or he just riffed on other announcer's famous calls. I think he was fond of "backbackback" (referring to the outfielder going back on a fly ball) followed by a "...he's not gonna get it." I do remember his favorite hockey call which was a very old fashioned "he puts the biscuit in the basket" for a goal.
And, of course, any player in any sport who was on a hot streak was "En Fuego!"
When the Giants changed the name of Candlestick Park because of corporate sponsorship, he publically flat-out refused to use the corporate name.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm back! Thankfully I did not get a shot in the butt. Doc gave me some samples of once a day big dose of antibiotics. Said it should be ok in 2-3 days. He said that it is not unusual to get the infection 7-10 days after the scrape when the scab is falling away. Particularly with road scrapes. Still hurts bad so I took another pain pill when I got home. Just one this time.
Now I think it would be irresponsible to work on people's computer systems while on drugs so catching up on ahemed television for me! And internet!
