5:02 pm: I got some swatches of paint .. You know the things you get from the well-lit area of Wal-mart in the paint section. They're very light shades of green and blue and grey. But the names they give them are stupid. There's a green one that's name is Longacre and there's Glass Green and then Spearmint Frost, Valley Poplar, Aloe, Morning Frost, Waterwheel, Ontario Blue, Water Fountain (my favorite), Faraway Blue, and the big finale is Saltbox (what??) Blue.

4:14 pm: Ha ha ha. I just remembered something from yesterday. On the way home from the baseball game (the next one is at 6:05 pm tonight Central Time) I saw a dude on a motorcycle. He had a stuffed animal (a big yellow dog, as a matter of fact) sitting behind him. He looked very serious. But I laughed at it for like an hour. Inwardly, so my family wouldn't think I was losing it. It's already an established fact that 'it' has already been lost. I just don't want them to get any more confused (confuseder? more confused? Yeah, they're the confused ones.)

Also, my mom and brother have ADD (slight forms, of it, I assure you.. um, yeah) and there's a really funny story that I could tell you about that but I'm afraid I'd muck it up. I'll just risk that because it's cute. Tyler (my bro) said something about having ADD and not having been told about it, and my mom said, "I always meant to tell you about it. We'll talk about it tonight." Tyler goes, "Yeah, well, I'll probably just forget." Or something like that. It was funnier than that. Okay, sorry. Nevermind.

1:33 pm: All right! My fan club now consists of one fan, who isn't official a fan, but she did say, in my guestbook (if you people would sign it more often I would be very happy) "I love the blogging you do. Makes me feel like someone on this wide Internet is actually alive. You're just such a cool person." I don't know about all that. I'm not really that cool. Just a big nerd. But thanks, Emily!

<gloat> P.S. I do "smashing work." </gloat>

7:41 am: A break from my awesome, although quite tired, life to say that yesterday was awesome. Who could not love America? We have a holiday reserved just for pyromania. Is that not enough? I understand England has tea and a queen, but.. I'll just stop here.

Oh, and Ashley missed quite a ballgame yesterday. 14 - 3, us. We won with that score, against the Reds, who are now 9 games under us. They're the closest team in our league to the top. Astros are 20 games down. Poor Astros, they suck. But anyway, our new catcher (Eli Marrero injured his thumb, so he's got a cast on it), Keith McDonald, was up to bat his first time and he hit a home run that scored two or three. It was so awesome. We gave him a standing ovation, trying to get a curtain call out of this guy, but to no avail. Just too humble for us. But he's now batting a thousand. :)
