Nobody Girl

Is it difficult to find a cab outside the 930 after shows are over? I normally drive down, but this time I'm thinking of taking the train.

10/10: Jenny Lewis 10/19: Wilco 11/1: Decemberists 11/6: Black Keys I really wish the Drive-By Truckers were playing somewhere near me again; I'm going through withdrawal.

I hope it's true, but to me it seems unlikely that they'd play almost halfway across the country the day before Thanksgiving.

Frank Thomas Barry Zito And my heart rate is almost back to a normal level...

Yay baseball playoffs! I am so not leaving the house tomorrow after 1 p.m.

AM: Dash 7 / It's Just That Simple BT: Misunderstood / Kingpin ST: Via Chicago / My Darling YHF: I Am Trying to Break Your Heart / I'm the Man Who Loves You AGIB: Hell Is Chrome / Less Than You Think MA1: One by One / Birds and Ships MA2: Feed of Man / Secret of the Sea

Hilarious! Did he do a serious version, or was he just messing around?

I am jealous...

Rich Harden seems fully healthy to me (knocks on wood). He looks good velocity-wise and movement-wise but is still a tad rusty with his command (but that is not surprising considering he's pitched just eight real innings since June 4).

That is all

What are you trying to do to me?

You'd never leave on your own Where you're from and where you're going I know these things like I know you hate me now Catch yourself in mid-air thinking Your dreams can never be bought I couldn't help you then and I guess I can't help you now When jousting is for pleasure, pleasure is way out of hand The time is right for getting out while we still can Chickamauga's where I've been Solitude is where I'm bound I don't ever wanna taste these tears again I don't ever wanna taste these tears again Appalachian, so patient The lessons we've traveled As soon as we're out we're kicking our wa

I have that poster, but my frame is not nearly as cool as yours is.

That picture makes me excited for winter.

That Dodgers-Padres game was crazy. The Dodgers hit four consecutive homers to tie it in the bottom of the ninth, but the Padres went ahead in the 10th. Then Nomar won it with a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th. Games like that make me love baseball even more.

$15 is worth it just for Drive-By Truckers. They kick so much ass live. I went to their New Year's Eve show in New York a couple of years ago just because I was in town anyway to see Wilco at Madison Square Garden. It turned out to be one of the best concerts I've been to. I hadn't heard any of their songs before that show, but I loved it so much that I bought The Dirty South and some of their other stuff. (Plus I'm seeing them twice on this tour!) You should definitely go.

That was surprisingly easy.

Yay! This is my favorite Pavement CD.

Seriously. I was right there at 10, plus I was trying for only one ticket. And I still got nothing. (Unless you count a headache.)

Big Frank homers again... the pitching is tanking again. It's like Groundhog Day.

If the people who've been impersonating A's starting pitchers for the last week could go away and bring the real guys back, that would be great. In the five starts before Sunday's game, they had a 10.17 ERA and Zito didn't help matters Sunday. I really hope the front office can get something worked out with him for next season.

That is 10 kinds of lame.

I know 14 (of 29) have given them the lead.

So this Frank Thomas guy... he's a pretty good ballplayer. (And I love how the caption specifies this took place at baseball game.)

Mmm... turkey pot pie...
