Whoa. Almost done here.

Cubs game last night was a lot of fun. Even though they ended up losing 7-3 against the Astros. Tessa and I left after the Seventh Inning Stretch and it apparently didn't make a difference.

Your aspirations, in great detail

Whoops! Looks like I should have read ahead on the list. It turns out I've already done this one.

That was easy.

Weigh-In Wednesday

Morning Weigh-in: 231

Diet Mountain Dew is an adequate replacement, though it will never truly fill the void in my ~~stomach~~ heart.

I've also been replacing as much bread-related products with whole-wheat variations. The honey-wheat crust at California Pizza Kitchen is really good.

Finally caught up. We're almost done, people; Thursday will be the last day of this.

Something that you miss, in great detail

DIET IS JUST NOT THE SAME. I can't wait until my weight-loss is complete and I can have it again.

After work today, I'll be taking Tessa to her very first Cubs game, courtesy of my mother. It'll be a lot of fun, and I hope she has a good time.

This brings us to:

Your favorite place, in great detail

I have a lot, but honestly I keep thinking back to Wrigley Field, mostly because of the memories I have. I'm not a big fan of watching baseball on TV, but there's just something about going to see a game.

My mother is one of the biggest Cubs fans I know, and she took me to my first game when I was six or seven. I will always remember her pointing up a the press box during the Seventh Inning Stretch and showing me that Harry Carey was right there, singing his heart out.

I've only been to one Cubs game without my mother (the aforementioned favorite birthday with Rowan; I went to a game with John but my mother also happened to be at that game elsewhere in the stands, so that counts), and this upcoming one will be my second. I'm hoping Tessa enjoys it just as much as I always have; she doesn't watch baseball either, but she remembers going to games with her family and having a good time.

Three to go before I'm caught up.

Your fears, in great detail

Oh, Dayna's going to have a field day with this one. She's the one where nightmares actually cause her pain, not me.

Oh well. Let's see, what do I have?

( Screw Kennedy. Fear is pretty damn scary. )

Augh. Got laid back by the wedding this weekend. Speaking of, I've got a picture for you guys.

A first, in great detail

That's an easy one. Last month was the very first time I've ever performed stand-up comedy live on stage at a major comedy club

This weekend is going to be busy. I'm attending a wedding with Trekkiegirl tomorrow, and Monday's going to be full of Labor Day family goodness.

Zerg Rush

Last night was pretty fun. Like I said earlier, I was the guest-opponent on Tessa's 1P Start!, and we went three full rounds. The first two had us facing off against each other; the audience voted on my race, and I played the first one as the Zerg and the second one as the Protoss.

After those two rounds, we started a couple games of co-op. I was instructed to play Terran, which is admittedly not my best race in StarCraft Classic, and after two false starts (in which my base got zealot-rushed almost immediately), I went back to the Zerg, which surprisingly is turning out to be my best one. We then had a pretty exciting 2v2 game against the computer.
