Get - Tow Fabulous
The streak is over. In the last 4.5 billion years of the Earth's existance, not once was my car towed. Today, that streak came to an end.
I was playing a little baseball on the Loft's Playstation. It was a gritty Astros - Mariners matchup with Felix on the mound for the M's. He only gave up 6 hits in 8 innings, but 3 were home runs. I didn't learn how to advance runners from third to home while the ball was in play, so an excellent hit-and-run with Reed on second and Sexson at the plate was a moot point. I was shut out through seven, and then down 3-2 going into the 9th. The game sensed my optomism and allowed the Astros to tee off against Felix once more before going yard against Guardado to make it 5-2. Some timely hitting by Betancourt, Ichiro and Lopez made it 5-3 in the bottom half, and then with 2 outs and two on, Beltre ended it. Touch 'em all, Adrian. The Mariners win it 6-4.
At the exact moment that I whooped and hollered, Lincoln Towing was rolling the precious Sport into lot 5, way up north on Aurora. It's true. It was 4:30, 30 minutes into the "No parking on this side of the street" which means Lovely Reeta and Lincoln Towing moved quickly to get it up there. In real life, Felix was getting rocked and the Indians led 5-0. It was cloudy and raining, too. Sunny yesterday.
The Roomies took me the long ways up Aurora ("Part of the punishment is driving this far" says Ilya). We pull up to the empty parking lot (after all, what would people park there? Eh?) and I have them pick up the gun under the driver seat, just in case. Inside I can see the sprawling lot down the hill. I got to walk past the big pink "Toe" truck, which is a bonus. My car was equidistant between the driving range and the trailer park.
When it was all said and done, the Mariners ended up winning. And it only cost me $150 plus.
In other news:
-Dave Niehaus called the Cleveland fans "itchy"
-The people that brought you "Bring it On" are bringing you the same thing with gymnasts.
-Quote from a repeat of The Office: "An employee will go home and ask his neighbor, "Hey, did you get an award?" "No man, I slave all day and no one notices," next thing you know, he smells something funny from his neighbor's house. Neighbor hanged himself due to lack of recognition."
-I learned today that Oscar Wilde said, upon his deathbed in a swank Paris hotel: "Either the wallpaper goes or I go"
