Yep, I went to a baseball game last night. It was a fun time. It was a double header against the Norfolk Tides and the Buffalo Bison. We got to the place a bit before 5, 5 being when the gates opened. We went to the ticket booth by the gate we normally enter, but it was close. No big deal. So me and my dad start walking to the main gate to get tickets, my mom as sis following behind because me and my dad are quick walkers. As we walk, I see these guys with bits of paper in their hand, then I read their shirts (and apologies in advance if I hurt anyone’s feeling), it was PETA. *dun dun du-dun!* Well, they were walking towards me and my dad, I have even stopped talking once I realized who they were. They just kinda walked past us. We must have had a "I don’t think you wanna bug me" air about us, since neither of us are really fond of PETA, normally because a lot of their actions are highly obscure. Well, we soon get our ticket and head back to the other gate, since we still had time to burn. We get there, standing with a few more people, as well as 2 more PETA folk. At one point, some woman yells about a rat running by. Sure enough, there goes a large brown form running right under the gate. My dad commented on how he wasn't surprised about the rat, then the funniest thing hit me... what if that woman had gone "EEE! A rat! Kill it!" around the PETA folk? Hehe.

We soon get in, and get a buy one get one free coupon for veggie burger and veggies dogs. To quote my dad, "Not in this life time..." So we get our program and take our seats, I read for a good bit of the hour we were waiting, and got some food, which would have been better it it wasn't a bit cold. Soon, the game started and the ties did horribly. It was really bad up until the last inning of the first game. Then they did alright. But during this game, they showed the lucky number contest, where you have to open your program to a certain page and see if the number on the page matches the one shown on a screen. Well, we see the last one late, so I frantically open the book, telling someone else to memorize it before is disappeared, I look and read the number off "133...” “13, 36, 37" my sis said. And it matched! So me and my dad went and claimed our prizes, which included several gift certificates, a 1 person pass for a boat ride, and a baseball TCG, which looks relatively interesting.

Another interesting aspect of the game was the "ZOOperstars". They are these inflatable mascot things that are animal puns off of famous player’s names, like Mia Hamster, Mackeral Jordan, and Cow Ripken. It was very amusing. But they seem quite malicious. One of the characters, Ken Giraffey, Jr., kept hitting stuff with his head! It was still amusing.

I also got Cracker Jacks.. the prizes are getting worse. In this one, I got some random math question, and a bad joke (Why was the math book so sad? It had a lot of problems!) But it’s still good tasting stuff. Ah and we also had a group with some kids behind us. It was alright, but you would think it would be common courtesy that if you are sitting right behind someone to not put your feet up on the seat. Well the one girl right behind me didn't know that apparently and poke me twice in the shoulder, with out even noticing or caring, i think she got the hit when she poked me and I made a large shifting motion away from her feet. That really irked me. Ah, the Tides did better in the second game. They were up 2 - 0 when we left, and I am rather sure they won. We soon got back home and I used the computer for a while then slept. Now I just gotta work on a few papers... whee.

I'm gonna watch Kill Bill sometime... really! I am! See ya!
