Last night my friend Phillip invited me to go to the Indiana Pacers game with him. Except that this wasn't just tickets to the Pacers game. It was tickets to see in the City of Indianapolis box suite! Phillip works for the City of Indy and he was given two tickets. His wife couldn't go so he flipped a coint to decide if he was going to ask either me or my brother and I won the coin toss. Reminds me of Batman's Two Face.
I think the gun next to the purple face looks scarier...
Anyway, the suite was awesome. It had all sort of food as well as a stocked fridge. No alcohol though, which is fine. It was a blast. Phillips co-workers were a lot of fun and I enjoyed talking with them.
One crazy story about the game. About 10 minutes before the game started a girl walked out of a tunnel near us. She was probably 15-25 had on a Pacers shirt, a long khaki skirt and Birkenstocks and two huge yellow and blue pom poms.
Well this girl cheered with the pom poms the entire game. At first I was like, well she works for the Pacers and they pay her to have extreme enthusiams. But I looked around the stadium and there weren't any other girls in the crowd who looked like her.
Well then I decided that either 1.) She has a problem or 2.) She is a super mega-fan. She really looked quite normal besides her crazy cheering.
We decided to propose theories about her. Phillip decided that she was trying out to be a Pacette and was practicing for her big audiontion on Saturday. We were pleased with this explanation until the fourth quarter when she was still cheering and waving the dang pom-poms.
At this point I decided that no, she use to be a Pacette, and they kicked her off the team because she was on crack. She is still on crack and still loves to cheer so now she just stands in the crowd and cheers.
Anyway, I wish I had pictures, but I forgot to bring my camera. RATS! BAH!!!!
Also today is a Woot Off over at http://www.woot.com. Want to know what a Woot Off is then go here http://www.woot.com/WhatIsWoot.aspx#q9.
Anyway, they had the Random Bag of Crap for sale today. I got 3 items. We will see what I get. I am giving them to Annie as a belated V Day present. She made me brownies for V Day, and they were dang good I might add.
Finally, I hate to admit this but I have sort of gotten into the male singles figure skating. I blame Annie, she made me watch the Russian guy and he was just so awesome that I got hooked.
Today at work I had the http://www.eurosport.com live update for the Male Figure Skating. It was pretty funny. About every five minutes they would write an update letting you know what happened. The updates were hillarious.
Here is an example:
"21:36
Let's hope Gheorghe Chiper's skating is better than his dress sense - the Romanian is wearing black and flourescent green with silver sequins and a hint of maroon. The music is not much better too - a kind of gypsy folk tune which seems to put both crowd and skater on edge. There are some nasty moments, but some nice one too. Not the best by any stretch, but another improvement on his short programme. The all round standard of the short, bar Plushenko and Weir, was admittedly pretty low. AND IT'S ONLY THE 5TH BEST TOTAL - 196.19."
As you can see it is pretty hillarious.
Alright that is it. I am beat and it is time for bed for me.
