today’s sign that the apocalypse is upon us: abercrombie sells thongs for kids. eee gads. don’t they have anything better to do?
in other news, the “other” bay area baseball team appears to be in total freefall. i’ve followed the a’s this year and even been to a few games; it’s nice to have an american league team to root for. but after a hot start, they’ve fallen apart. yesterday they sent three sometimes-starters back to triple-a ball and called up three minor leaguers in an attempt to shake things up. then today they traded one of the best guys on the team–jeremy giambi–to the phillies for someone the phils have mostly been using only as a pinch hitter. this whole move sounds really sketchy to me.
there’s also a pitcher starting for the cubs tonight who was in college a year ago. talk about a quick stint in the minor leagues. i wonder how he’ll do in his first outing.
and in even more weird baseball news, mike piazza made an announcement that he’s not gay. what? i hadn’t even heard that he might be. in fact, i figure he must be straight, otherwise how can you explain the hideous bleach job he did on his hair last year?? 😉
anyway, enough news bites.
let’s see, what’s on tap for my afternoon…laundry, i think. desperately so. it’s been three weeks since i last washed clothes. this is good because it means i have quite a supply of clothing…but bad because it means my laundry basket has been overflowing for days now. i hate doing laundry. it’s too far to walk, so i have to get in my car and drive over to the freaking laundry room, and since the roads here are configured strangely, i end up having to drive almost two miles when the laundry room is really only half a mile away as the crow flies. if it were only a little closer, i would just figure out some way to drag my clothes there.
i should finish this 271 homework too. it was actually due yesterday, but since we had a midterm yesterday as well, andy said he would make the homework due “under the table” whenever we finished it. within reason, of course. i figure i have till friday to turn it in.

and for one more sign of the apocalypse…really, how crass is this?
