It’s been somewhat of a vacation week for the staff here at the ‘Net. I say “somewhat” because everyone but me has chosen to sun it up in beautiful Puerto Vallarta. Thanks for the “Glad You’re Not Here!” postcard, gang. But after a few days of seeing how much rat feces I could shovel into Bo Swidersky’s desk, I’ve decided to try my hand at a little live blogging. It’s an online phenomenon that serves those who are too lazy to turn on the TV or too fearful of state mind control to own one. And with the baseball post-season in full swing, I’m going to bring you game one of the American League match-up between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Chicago White Sox. Tune back in tomorrow (Thursday) when I work from home, and you get the liveliest live blog imaginable!
3:35 Alright I slept in.
3:37 My bad, folks. I’m on this new medication that’s supposed to put me to sleep at night, but then it knocks me out so good that I always wake up late the next day! And I’m so full of energy come bedtime that I gotta take another one and… well, you get the picture. Things can be funny like that.
3:40 Remember, you’re a part of this live blog too! Send in comments and questions to dave@funtimeinternet.com and maybe you’ll make the cut!
3:48 First email is from Jason: “whats the score please”. Info to follow, Jason!
3:52 Hungry…
4:02 Phone’s ringin’!
4:03 Nope, ambulance.
4:10 Here’s one for the guys: is it weird when your girlfriend spends seven nights a week at her ex-husband’s place? Well, I don’t want to exaggerate. Really it’s five or six nights out of seven.
4:13 I wouldn’t have a problem with it if she weren’t using my money to pay off his mortgage.
4:16 He’s cool though. Daniel.
4:20 Found his jeans in the dryer. The plot thickens!
4:29 An interesting point from reader KevA: “i’m at work and all the good sites are blocked, can you please say whose winning the fuckin game”. When you play the game of love, friend, I guess you always end up the loser.
4:35 Hmmm… my buddy has Smashing Pumpkins tickets, apparently. Has anyone heard if they’re playing a lot of older stuff?
4:40 And you know who is actually hot: that new girl that’s in the Smashing Pumpkins.
4:42 I wonder if the new girl is related to the old girl. KevA, look into it for me! Live blog assistant!
4:49 Sorry, had to grab some dunch. You know, dunch – not quite dinner and not quite lunch? Went tuna sub.
5:10 Hope this sandwich isn’t a comebacker. Tuna tends to hit you hard about an hour down the line. What are some other revenge foods? Curry, definitely. Rotisserie chicken’s also up there. Send your suggestions to dave@funtimeinternet.com.
5:14 Huge catch!
5:16 KevA’s getting paid by the email: “who made that catch you asshole” Thoughts, anyone?
5:18 I’ve gotten a lot of email viruses in the last hour. Double-check those attachments before you send them my way, guys!
5:22 Washroom
5:49 And that’s the ballgame! Final score: 6-4.
That was liberating. Now if you’ll permit me, I’ve got a date with a rat trainer who’s got a lead on some primo feces. I’m talking about the good stuff.
