Well… after a long and blessedly eventful weekend, I had my regular Monday off. I usually spend an hour or two cleaning my mother’s beauty shop. I did not mind today since the weather outside did not look to inviting after a decent Saturday and Sunday was a blah one, too (I guess the old adage that if it rains on Easter Sunday you can expect 6 Sundays of the same does not mean the same if it is opposite… meaning: If it does not rain on Easter Sunday, you can expect 6 Sundays of no rain. Kind of like a groundhog predicting the weather).
So after spending some time chatting with a sick friend hoping to dispel some of her dreariness and getting to see a teaser of rhe short film we began shooting on Saturday, I read a bit while the suds were on television (YUCK) and found that the Yankees were on tv tonight. After the first series at the new stadium with the Indians ended in a 2-2 split (we WILL NOT mention the happening of Saturday afternoon. Remarkably, they now stand at a 7-6 record), I was looking forward to the beginning of a new round with the Oakland As). Hopefully, the announcers would be a bit more even in their commentating than the seriously one-sided announcers on the Cleveland net. I may sound biased but those announcers were terribly pro-Indian. Unfortunately at 7PM, ESPN announced the bad news: The NY/Oakland game has been postponed due to rain. Guess I should have kept a better eye on the weather in the Bronx: at 2:00, it was cloudy, but rain was forecasted. I was in the same predicament as Taylhis last night. Maybe I will catch up on some of the 70+ Simpsons episodes I have waiting on the DVR. Honestly, who has time for regular tv viewing anymore? Well… the occasional Thursday night from 8-9.30 but aside from that…
Yes, postponing stinks. The Cubs were set to finish up a HUGE 4 game series with St Louis, now to take place in July! I worry that they”ll lose their momentum by then. Oh, well, I think I’m officially over it.
