observations, oh yeah

_ i saw an advertisement from philip morris on tv hawking their hotline to call if you're seeking help quitting smoking. i know they're more or less required to do these sort of public services thanks to all the lawsuits, but how effective do you think a quit-smoking hotline sponsored by a cigarette maker is really going to be?
_ cardinals are one win away from .500 ball, which is the goal i set for them when i realized early in the season how bad they were sucking. they're like two wins away from finally wrenching the lead of the nl central away from the brewers/cubs. miracles happen -- see 2006 world series results.
_ in other baseball news, the texas rangers set the record for most runs scored in a game with 30 today. wtf? mlb game scores = outta hand

_ hi to any myspace friends of mine who are checking this out for the first time. please leave some love, lemme know what you think.

raining on my parade

cardinals are in a rain delay! drat. send that damn rain here instead.

wedding singer on abc family instead, i suppose. (i really am doing chores. i just know how to multitask.)

the heat is on

it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooo hot.

i mean seriously, i never remember a heat wave like this. it's so debilitating. i feel like i can't do anything. i can't eat, i can't sleep, i can't even move. i'm just sitting on my couch like a lump, listening to the cardinals /cubs game on my computer. (yay for the cardinals winning eight of their last ten games.) my head hurts, which i'm pretty sure is related to the heat. i feel fat, which i'm also blaming on the heat. i think the bad suburban drivers have gotten worse during this week of triple-digit temperatures. blaaaaaaaaah.

i think the heat makes people meaner. i've never seen so much road rage in my life, not to mention wrecks during rush hour.

give me the cool mild temperatures of november. snow and ice. a walk-in freezer, i don't care. just get me the hell out of this miserable hell-hole.
