I promise this will never happen again. No two consecutive summer days will actually be eventful ever again. Ever. I’m completely sure. So enjoy these two days.
First, I worked a funeral today. It wasn’t bad at all, really just two hours of sitting around and about a half-hour before and after of setting up and cleaning up. That candle though, I swear it almost dislocated my shoulder! But anyway the real fun happened after, when I went to the Rectory for the person who was supposed to give me a ride home and she instead put me to work for an hour stapling packets together with this really nifty electric stapler. Then of course they’re having a problem with their email… actually a pretty large problem involving 12,000 emails that appeared in it overnight from a virus. Now they’re trying to delete them twenty messages at a time, until I finally figure out how to set the number of messages to something more manageable. Say: 500. It worked pretty well.
So then after I eventually do get my ride I come home to a Phillies doubleheader, an NCIS marathon, and the allure of Portal 2. I eventually decide on listening to the Phils on the radio while playing through Portal 2 (the marathon wasn’t until five), which also worked out rather well. And I’m serious, if you have any love of either puzzles or black humor whatsoever, you need to get this game. It’s funnier than most episodes of Saturday Night Live. The good episodes too. And that is the highest praise I can give.
Later, after I’ve played through a few chapters and satisfied my Portal addiction for the day, I settle down for the second Phillies game preceded by a few hours of NCIS marathon. Great episodes too, especially one with a really creepy old lady who chopped a guy apart in her barn and then almost got away with it… and then of course there’s the one with Kyle Boone. You get a huge insight into Gibbs and it is still a really entertaining episode. If you aren’t already… watch NCIS. I promise, you will not be disappointed.
Finally came the second Phillies game, which I sadly missed the most of for a few reasons too boring to recount. Still, the tenth inning was what really needed to be seen, with Ruiz’s walk-off where the center-fielder for the Marlines tried to throw to home plate with the ball lying on the grass. That’ll be on the highlight reel for a while to come.
SONG OF THE DAY: LIGHTERS
Bruno Mars and Eminem, a combination made in either heaven and hell… still not sure which. The bottom line is that it’s an amazing song, and reminds me a little of Airplanes. Listen to it. And yes Anthony, I mean you. And I actually improved on my time from last night… it’s only twenty minutes to midnight instead of seven. Adios until tomorrow, and hold up those lights.
