Well, I'm here in the apartment, using Jesse's (my flatmate) computer. Got in a little late today, moved all my stuff in. A lot of organization needs to be done, but I'm still happy with the way the place is. I think I want to put in a chin-up bar, and maybe buy some hex dumbells. That'd be hot.

I have no idea where a grocery store is, and I didn't want to drive any more at all (700 miles or so in the last two days blah on that). So I wandered around the neighborhood and stopped at "the atlas cafe". It's a weird place with a lot of mexican, chilean, and italian/greek style food. There was a short fat and sweet waitress there about my age, and we talked for a bit. Apparently I"m going to have to come back some time and order the avocado smoothie. I'll let you know if that happens. In any case, melty gummi bears from my glovebox for dessert...mmm chewy colored blob.

So Ozzy Guillen is the most bad-ass manager out there right now. For those of you who don't know, he manages the White Sox baseball team. He's in the news lately because he a) made extremely rude remarks to a reporter and b) made one of his pitchers cry because that pitcher failed to intentionally hit a batter when ordered to do so. What a hardass. While I don't think it's appropriate for a public figure to say "what a fucking piece of shit he is, fucking fag" I admire the man's insistence that he needs to go to English seminars before he has sensitivity training. And come on, getting pissed at your own guy because he won't bean the crap out of a targeted opponent? That's just hard-ass. A few games back Ozzy also served a one-game suspension for ordering a intentional hit on a batter after both teams had already been warned not to hit the batter. Don't fuck with Ozzy.

Here's his apology for his comments on the reporter: "Nobody likes that man here. I don’t care what he thinks about me. Jerry [Reinsdorf] talked to me and said I should [think] about the word I used. [But Mariotti] is a piece of garbage, he always has been garbage and always will be garbage.”

And that's why the White Sox are the best team in baseball.
