Long Live Les Bleus!

OK - no time, and I need to update...

1. Bad date last week. Didn't matter. I went to 3 Sox games and Intonation.

2. What's up with angry boys? The bad date was with someone who kept on telling me how much he hated things. Actually I just enjoyed arguing with him. And he hated the White Sox. I do need to screen for this stuff.

3. Went to the game on Saturday with the old Random Boy. He took my tix, didn't buy me a beer and then when I told him he was taking me to a bar proceeded to tell me that he'd been dating someone else. OK, more power to him. However the thing that gets me if that freak can date someone for 2 months - why can't I? Dude wants to grow a tail and tells stories about terrorizing his ex. Nice guy but total egomaniac. He has a girlfriend? I should shut up - I dated him.

4. Tonight I'm meeting a boy I screened much better. I don't know how to explain my situation though. We've spoken of music, books, philosophy. He's an Industrial Designer with a motorcycle and he lives down the street. His pics aren't bad.

5. So I got 20 replies to an ad in CL. I responded to 2. The guy I'm meeting tonight and this super-cute photog. who I turned into a babbling little girl in front of. I scared a boy off! Hee.

6. I love the World Cup.

7. I'm going to F1 this weekend.

8. Need to fire the therapist - really. My old boss made me pinky swear.

9. Intonation review - whoa nelly for Rhymefest, Jon Brion and Bloc Party. Annie was fun, Pollard was good (and gave the shout out for Merge), Lupe Fiasco was OK - but Rhymefest just felt like the real deal. I like that I saw a lot more hip-hop than I would usually buy a ticket for. Long live the south side!

10. I got in a flame war w/ someone on the GB message board. I WON! I never win.

11. My perspective on the Ozzie controversy = dude has a 6th grade education. He needs to go to training, he needs to get fined. I love the fact that MLB is now declaring their support for the gay community!?! I love the fact that the discussion has turned to what is the role of sports columnists in the blog-riffic world.

12. Deadspin is such a problem. I can't even explain.

13. I dig the lists.

14. Latest muzak: Guillemots (made up love song no. 43), Richard Hawley, Destroyer (finally), Band of Horses (finally), Gnarls Barkley (finally). Getting my Pitchfork prep in.

15. World Cup + White Sox Baseball + F1 w/o Schumacher winning everything = The greatest sports summer EVER.
