Oh my god, OMG you guys

I saw Dennis Haysbert in a restaurant this afternoon! He was just walking by my table, calm and cool as could be. I didn't say anything, I just sat and stared, unable to take my eyes off of him until he was out of sight, hopefully not too embarrassingly open-mouthed. This is not quite as exciting as it would have been 7 years ago when I was a full-blown "24" fangirl, but it was still really, really cool.

He was a lot taller than I imagined he would be, and his smile is even bigger in person.

In other news, I went to a baseball game tonight, and although no one threw a no hitter this time (curse my luck for picking a game one day too late!), it was still an enjoyable outing. Even though it rained on us a little bit. Rain? In San Francisco? In July? What is this world coming to? On the upside, I saw one of the most spectacular rainbows of my life, springing out of the scoreboard and covering the sky. T took some pictures, and if he decides any are worthy of posting, I will definitely link.

Except Wakka is far less... I can't think of the right word, since snobby isn't quite right, but that's the sense I'm going for -- than Jeter. (Confession: not a fan of Derek Jeter, now or ever. Maybe it's just the way the national media falls all over themselves to fawn over him, though.)

The image of Milton Bradley in Spira is, indeed, highly amusing. :) More like Garik Ronso than Tidus? I agree that Tidus needs someone more emotional than Lincecum, although I don't know that I would say angsty either. Maybe more like a young Jeff Kent, with the arrogance and the way-up highs and the bottomed-out lows.

I can't think of any other good comparisons, but if you are inspired to keep going, please do. ;) I have so few other online friends I can geek out over baseball with, it's always fun to get the chance, even if you are "the enemy". ;)
