dayeaux's journal, but I wanted to pass it on that one of the RAs at her religious (Wesleyan) college (university?) didn't want DDR played in the dorms because it was sinful. *blink*
In other news - I have decided to renew my interest in baseball. The Boston Red Sox have made it into the playoffs, and the excitement around town is catching. I just finished watching game 1 of the playoffs, vs. the Oakland A's, who won in the 12th inning with a bunt. One of the best game endings I've ever seen, but then again I don't watch many games. Anyway, the Sox and the Yankees are in the playoffs, making for a possibly super intense World Series. The rivalry between those two teams (Boston and New York) is rooted in 64 years of pain for the Sox. The Curse of the Bambino... To be reversed this year. Hopefully. :)
That last link really is a good one to go to, but be warned it's a large picture. It's a road sign here in Boston on Storrow Drive, a very trafficy street. When I came here last year I didn't know what the graffiti meant, and assumed the sign would be repainted eventually. Now I know what it means, and the sign will NEVER come down - it's been that way for over 10 years! The transportation department does try to repaint it, but it's fixed in just a few days. It's a cultural landmark - posters of the sign are sold in stores, even! Bostonians are crazy about their Sox.
I'm thinking about going to Fenway for game 3 (Saturday, 7:35pm) - I won't be able to get into the actual game even if I could afford it, but I can go to a bar or restaurant nearby that is decent (i.e. more food, less alcohol) and get swept up in the excitement of the game with other fans. That kind of thing appeals to me. :)
It's 4am. I'm rambly. I'm also sore and tired. I should sleep. Goodnight!!
