Sometimes humans don't suck.

Joe Blanton was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies for minor league second baseman Adrian Cardenas, pitcher Josh Outman and outfielder Matthew Spencer.

Aye, caramba. Well, we better be damn good by 2010. And it'll be good for the Phillies. With that lineup he'll get a lot of wins. The Mets will be sorry they didn't trade Milledge for Blanton when they had the chance.

Speaking of baseball, we won our first game tonight in Sectionals against a very tough team. The team that ousted us from Sectionals last year, in fact.

Anyway, it was a super tense game we were down 2-1 in the 4th, during which inning we had a crazy rundown that had balls going to all three bases (while Emmett was throwing as catcher) that resulted in cutting down a runner at the plate. Then we turned a double play, came up to bat and Emmett knocked in the tying run. (Later he had a triple.) He had a great game. He's caught every inning too. Our pitching's been awesome.

So. We're two wins away from going to the Divisional/State championship.

Random music thoughts:

So, No Air. Am I reading this right?

Jordin Sparks: "Don't you leave me! I'll die!"
Chris Brown: "No, don't you leave me! I'll die!"
Both: "NNOOOOO!!"

So, what, they both want to stay together? What are they getting so worked up about?

Goldfrapp's Supernature: electronica meets Weimar-era cabaret. Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain: electronica meets James Bond themes. I don't know how to characterise Black Cherry, but the video to Strict Machine is fun: [link]

I like Goldfrapp. Black Cherry equals Electronic Glam Dance. or something. Her new album is a another complete departure. Rather folky and atmospheric.

"Strict Machine" is a great song.

Her new album is a another complete departure. Rather folky and atmospheric.

Yeah, interesting move. It's like Goldfrapp meets... Jewel?

Gronklies. I think my body has pretty much just decided to completely ignore anything silly like the times when the sun rises and sets. The past few days have been a weird sort of pattern of sleeping for four hours, then awake for six. Except sometimes it's sleep for eight hours and away for sixteen, but those eight and sixteen don't in any way line up with when normal people are awake and asleep.

So, what, they both want to stay together? What are they getting so worked up about?

Hee.

Well you are beautiful sarameg and you do have a great smile, but yeah, I love the random compliment.

I agree with this sentence in every way!

Speaking of classic B'more things, I went with my 2 best friends for crabs last night. One, who has lived here for like 7 years, had yet to get them in that time. RIDIC! We sat on a rooftop deck with a great view of the Domino Sugar sign and ate a ton of (smallish but good meat) crabs and drank a ton of beer and got kicked out good-naturedly at the end of the night. Perfect!

mmmm, crab.

mmmm, crab.

I almost said "We'll go when you're here!!" But then realized I'm not seeing you here but in Nevada. DER! Although you should come visit and then we will get crabs!!!
