the astros won but...

My forehead was peeling this morning and with the new haircut I don't have much hair to cover it up. I hope no one looks at me today.

Astros game was just ok last night. We sat in the only section that had coordinated fans. They cheered the entire game. It was all thanks to this one little girl who had long blond hair with a pink hat turned sideways. She didn't use her chair for sitting, but rather for standing to project her voice over the crowd. She stood the whole game while yelling "Let's Go Astros!!" Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. No sort of originality at all, same cheer over and over. I gave her a few turns of my head in her direction, but they did nothing. She'd look back and wonder why on earth I wasn't clapping. I did however participate in the wave. I put forth a lot of effort by sacrificing both arms and a yell, "Whoooooo!"

The girl that sits next to me at work sounds like the boss from Office Space. "Yeaaaaaaaaah."

I moved up a row last night because some tall old dude with funky hair sat directly in front of me. All I could see was the batter, hair and scalp, and the outfield. Still not sure if the move up was a good idea or not. Row 36 happened to be the busiest row in the entire stadium. Each row dweller was constantly taking turns getting up and going somewhere. I was sitting on the aisle. That one little boy probably peed about 6 times and somehow could not coordinate a pee break at the same time as going to the gift shop. The roommate also became aware that he shares the same cologne as an old man.

what my plans are, just incase

If my car ever broke down in front of an adult store and I needed to use their phone but they wouldn't let me unless I bought something, I would buy edible undies. Then I would call for help and also let them know I have a snack so there would be no need for a rush.

As I was eating lunch, The Girl Who Doesn't Like Me Laughing turned around and saw me trying to push too many chips into my mouth. She always makes me feel like an underachiever.

Astros game tonight. They're giving away free t-shirts tonight to the first 10,000 fans. If I don't get one I'll pay someone for theirs. I also plan on buying a $9 coke so I'll get another one of those Astros collector cups. They make everything taste better. The ice cream in the helmet is a ripoff.

taco meat

Made tacos last night with the anything that was present in the fridge. I had no cheese, lettuce, or tomatoes, just taco meat. If anyone else would have made them they probably would have only been fair. Mine were excellent, sort of. I think I'll go shopping today and try again tonight.

There was nothing good on TV last night and the Astros got beat again. They stink.

"That's Nasty" is back on Baseball Tonight. I am rejoicing on the inside.

Big Boss is enforcing mandatory overtime for me starting next week. Again, I am rejoicing on the inside. He told me the maximum I can put in is 60 hours a week and I am to work on nothing else except my secret project. Talks have even resurfaced about a temp peon working under me. So once again I requested a sorority sister from a local college. They're thinking of a grandma instead.

The Houston Apartment Search 2007 started off with a bang or maybe it was a yawn. Yeah, it was most definitely a yawn at 4:00 am. I did however get my BK Mocha Joe after stopping at the third (yes, 1..2..3) Burger King. They open at 6, not 5, not 5:30, but 6. Just in case anybody is every up that early in the history of mankind.

Mom's NASA visit turned out to be a little embarrassing. She could not leave that place without having a poster, sticker, patch, and a medallion. I felt like the hillbilly's coming to the big city. Especially when we made our entrance to the valet. I was so in awe that I forgot to put the car in park.

Friday night we took in an Astros game. Thanks Burd. I think my nose is still bleeding.

I now have a new crush. Her name is Candace. I have actually met this one unlike the others in the past. She works at the Ventana at Midtown, an apartment we almost signed on because of her. Ok not really, well maybe a little. I wanted to sign there so she'd have my phone number, I didn't care if she had a ring on her finger. Mom said she lacked a personality, I said she didn't need one.

The hotel we were in all weekend was nothing less than hair-raising, heart-stirring, and spine-tingling. I like how all those words have a hyphen. The elevators took my stomach away every time we went down. I'd curse when some other floor delayed our decent. Cursing also occurred when I saw that my one waffle for breakfast was $11.25. L'Eggo my wallet.

After everything was said and done, I'm the proud owner of the coolest loft in Houston, Texas. Thanks to everyone who wished me good luck, only y'all can come visit, no others. Do they use y'all in Texas? They don't drink sweet tea. Wimps.

Get ready Houston, Matt's coming to town.
