Dodging an Idiot

This past Thursday night, the Hub, Caroline, Minh and I went to see the LA Dodgers. It wasn't any ole Dodger Game but the last home game of the season! What does that mean? It means the stadium was C-rowded!!! As in sold out. As in 52,000 people in the same spot craziness! I am in no way a patient person so having to wait 45 minutes in the car to even get to the stadium was exasperating! The stadium is only a mile or two from my house so you can imagine the super slow crawl to the stadium.

After arriving we find that our preferred parking is only good if you get there before the stadium sells out. Having never been to a sold out game before this has never come up as an issue. We drove around, and around, and around and finally found a space. We got to our seats in time for the bottom of the 4th inning and lucky us, we got to sit by the biggest a**hole in the history of Dodger fans. Sorry to swear but really I had to use this word to describe this man.

When we arrived we saw four seats open so assuming they were ours we sat in them. Then this guys turns to the Hub in a super snotty way and says, "Umm you're in my seats. My wife is coming and you're in her seats. And then he goes on to say I think I know you are in the wrong seats." HOLD ON MISTER! Why this guy had to be a jerk from the start I don't know? So we turned and booted the two little kids that were sitting in our seats out. We looked at him and sneered in our heads "Why did you have to make us kick those two cute little kids out? P.S. there is no way your wife is coming at this point as we barely got in, you jerk!"

Even after we got in our correct seats, he kept turning to us to say that his wife was coming. As I am a complainer myself, I recognized like and realized that this type of complainer was the kind that doesn't shut up about complaining about stuff. At least I realize I am getting bad and shut up. But he complained about everything and really loudly. I think everyone around us was annoyed. What was annoying to me was that this guy brought a radio and had it pushed up against his ear so he cold hear the game. Perhaps, if he ever shut up he would be able to hear the game perfectly fine. Just a thought?

He even complained people were hitting too many of those beach balls around to the security guards. (um - Kill Joy) Really buddy? Really? Well, he really pissed me off when the Hub got up to pee and he asked the man to excuse him to let him in the isle. When the Hub left, said idiot complained that people should exit their side of the seats. He went on and on about it. I really wanted to throw my peanuts at him. The Hub came back and I told him what the guy said. He was about to get into it when I told him it wasn't worth it. The Hub, for your reference either had to climb over three people to get out or climb over him and his little kid, who took up no space and half of the time wasn't even in his own seat!

Anyhoo, bad seating partners aside we watched the Dodgers win the Western Conference! Oddly, they lost the game against the San Diego Padres that night but they made the championships! Go Dodgers!!!!

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

So Proud

I have yet to bear children so I am not sure what its like to be proud of your kids but I do have this "kid" at work that I am extremely proud of this week. Three years ago, when I first transferred to my current studio due to "the merge" I was one of two people who made up the international marketing team. I am sure many of you remember me complaining how crazy I was. Anyhoo, during that time when we were setting up our team, this young girl walked into my office to interview for the internship position I was hiring for. I have been working with interns for as long as I can remember and before that, I worked with young kids at movie theatres. In all my years and in all those kids I had never met a person like the girl who walked into my office that day. It took all of two seconds for me to know she was talented and she was a star. After meeting with her I called off all the other interviews and told HR to hire her. She was a rock star intern! Later when w...
