"My Girl" might be one of the best songs of all time.

Trying something new at tonights game. Wok-Off Noodles is located on the first level by section...let's call it 120ish.

$7 gets you a respectable serving of teriyaki noodles (albeit heavy on teriyaki) and actual veggies. And fortune cookies! Adding $1.25 will get you chicken, but it's the fake frozen-strip chicken and is better omitted.

They also have a spicy peanut-sauce salad, but Laura opted for the teriyaki and I grabbed a chorizo.

There's a nice guy who works the stand, and only when sitting down waiting for your food will you notice he's standing on a milk crate.

Section 120ish also has a little beer bar with selections beyond Miller. Capital Brewing makes a very smooth and aromatic amber which I sampled pre-game.

I created a Twitter for the paint+photo site and to follow other tweety-blogs. Like the Japanese astronaut TwitPic'ing from space (OMG SPACE!!!), our local morning anchors who TwitVid each other on-air, Craig Ferguson, and Carrie Fisher.

My Twitter is @rymo_paintphoto.
I had one follower but they turned out to be a spammer for something like AdultFriendFinder, but scummier.

Really not sure about this.
Trying though.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi died last Monday at the age of 93.

Anytime someone lives to 93, it's pretty remarkable.
He lived to 93 after having survived both nuclear bomb attacks the United States launched at Japan. He lived in Nagasaki but traveled to Hiroshima on business for the summer of 1945. The morning he was supposed to leave was August 6th, the day of the first nuclear bomb blast. After receiving medical attention for two ruptured eardrums, temporary blindness, and severe burns, he returned to Nagasaki to go back to work...on the 9th.

Laura got me tickets
for the biennial appearance of my New Jersey Devils in Chicago against the Blackhawks. In four years of college outside of Chicago, their two appearances both coincided with Christmas break. Also, the freakish weather was more of a gamble than I wanted to take - having tickets but not being able to safely navigate down would've been intolerable.

The weather last night, however, was darn good, and Laura and I made it to the hotel and the game.

As someone who last saw a 'Hawks game at the end of the shitty 2003-04 season...it was like night and day. The United was not empty and lifeless; rather it was early and often the "Madhouse on Madison" they now advertise it as. Last night was 5-1 and PAINFUL.

In games I attend, Martin Brodeur, one of the greatest goalies of all time, has a 4.5 goals-against average.
The litany of tags sum up last night's performance, which honestly could've been 8-1 or worse were it not for some highlight saves from Marty.

We did, however, meet up with emmycantbemeeko which was...what, 6 or 7 years in the works? Amazingly enough, she was standing-room one section over.

Let's pause for a second. The Blackhawks had STANDING ROOM ONLY. There were more people at last night's game than (I think) the sum of the last 3 'Hawks games I went to.

Bedlam.

Photos from the wedding and NYC are still forthcoming. Working on them now, in fact.

 Yeah - I'll stop being a nerd on my honeymoon in just a moment.

But:
1 - I'm on my honeymoon, which should imply what I did yesterday afternoon/evening.
2 - I have safely arrived in NYC.
3 - I'm at the Apple Cube right now.
4 - I really wish my iPhone was still fully functional, so as to retain and/or search for points of interest.
5 - LiveJournal gets updated first because I clearly don't actually know my Facebook login.

Warren Spahn's son Greg has affiliated with a brewery to make a commemorative beer in honor of his father, Spahnie 363.

That it is described as a cloudy unfiltered ale makes me a little disappointed, because I don't like cloudy and don't like hoppy. A beer named after my favorite pitcher and I'm probably not going to like it.

...last month, when AJ Burnett threw an immaculate inning (nine pitches, three strikeouts) against the Marlins, it was three days away from being a year since the last immaculate inning in the Majors. Also against the Florida Marlins.

It was 3 years to the day since former Brewer Rick Helling (oh WOW) did it against the Tigers.

Oh, Wikipedia. Bless you and your racism.

The Wisconsin State Fair will be selling chocolate-covered bacon this year. Worse yet, it sounds kinda good. Like chocolate-covered pretzels

Your move, Texas State Fair.

Finding this made my day.

I heard this on NPR and the absurdity of it made me really laugh:

The nation of Afghanistan, in an effort to prevent an outbreak of swine flu, ordered a quarantine of the nation's pig.

Note: pig - singular.

Afghanistan, a strongly Moslem nation, has one pig in the entire country, kept in the Kabul zoo.

At least for a few more minutes...

I feel like if JJ doesn't turn it around in a big way, this may be his final season in Milwaukee.

( These are journalists, or so we are to be convinced. )

All in all, a good weekend.

With all the Mother's Day stuff, we didn't get nearly enough around the apartment done, so we'll have laundry to do for the next three days.

I went to the Y for the first time in three weeks and may have hurt the muscle behind my knee going down to my calf. I would be "day to day" for those of you with me on your fantasy team. (:

The Chrysler Headquarters, in Auburn Hills, MI, was allegedly designed so it could easily be converted to a shopping mall in the event of bankruptcy.

I found out about an hour ago that my PT Cruiser needs $550 worth of new radiator.

Not bad on the Photoshop work. The number might be a hair off-center, but whatever. Looks good.
