There is some beautiful acting in D. Aronofsky's The Fountain.

I went to my very first baseball game last night, Angels v. Boston Red Sox. It was surreal, everything was brightly lit, the players were minuscule, and I am now an erudite connoisseur of baseball. Thanks A, J, and Traydiggy. =]


Important facts about baseball that I have realized:

1. Every baseball park is designed a specific and unique way. The Angels Stadium has a waterfall. It shot fireworks into the sky every time the Angels scored.
2. The Angels were the home team because the Boston Red Sox flew over to play at the Angels Stadium. Every baseball team has their own personal stadium.
3. There is a difference between a home run and a run.
4. One inning consists of each team batting until the other team makes them get three outs. There are nine innings in baseball.
5. There are no cheerleaders nor halftime shows in baseball. But in the seventh inning, everyone sings "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." The Angels Stadium does not provide lyrics.
6. The catcher does more than flash little signs under his crotch to the pitcher.
7. There is something called a shortstop and that is an important job.
8. There is a set number of players who will continuously play throughout one game. Their names and pictures are displayed on a marquee.
9. Baseball players look a lot better with their helmets on.
10. A baseball game is always better with an ice cold beer.


And here is additional baseball terminology that A has kindly provided:

For JK.

Home Run - When a batter gets a hit that travels out of the ball park between the foul poles. Results in bringing everyone on base including the batter home.

Batting Average - Batting average. In general, an average of .300 or above is considered a good hitter.

Walk - When the pitcher throws four balls, the batter gets 1st base awarded.

Intentional Walk - When the Angels decide to play "smart" baseball, and act chicken *bleep* and walk David Ortiz in the bottom of the 9th to face Kevin Youkilis.

Ballpark Nachos - At Angels Stadium, chips and nacho cheese. Jalapeno's you must ask for at time of purchase. At Dodger Stadium, chips, nacho cheese, AND salsa. Jalapeno's all you can grab!

I finally found out what these are. No wonder they didn't taste like pastries.

Drinking tea really does help. Thanks, Andy. =]

It was a heartwarming surprise to see who turned up.

What are the chances that Roy Chung might have been a potential juror on the case that I've been assisting Frank with for the past few weeks? I'd say it's a freaking small world.

Luckily, Roy embellished his Berkeley mugging story enough to be excused and thus I was able to sit in front with Frank for two days during trial.

Bowling was definitely a college pastime. I think this was one of the first times we went, and also one of the most memorable. Our class went with then freshmen Lori, Abe, Amanda, Fred, and Danny, and we lost both times. We also ran into P. Eug and the c/o 2003 officers after their meeting. And this is us doing our punishment in front of everyone. This was back when punishments were still relatively harmless and innocent.

This was a class bbq but it was during a long weekend so a lot of people couldn't make it. I remember helping Nancy make her famous ribs and I remember how the bones scratching my hands hurt like ass. But 주무르-ing the meat was freakin fun. I also remember Roy's heart-shaped cake that everyone gave him crap about and the guys sliding down a hill with a piece of cardboard they randomly found.




Much happened in February, 2003.
