I can't really remember much of what happened between the then and the now. All I know is that the Twins have picked up a couple games on the Royals, and are now tailing both they and the White Sox, now in first, for the Central Division. It's a close one.

Speaking of baseball, my little league team finished their season unvictorious in three tournaments. Today's game ended 2-1, and was probably the best game we played all summer. It's too bad, too, because they're really a great bunch of guys, and pretty good ballplayers to boot.

Last night... No, two nights ago -- Wait... What did I do last night? -- we went out with the video camera for the first time in about as long as I can recall and made a (relatively long) short. Both Joe and I are editing together our own version of events; It's actually really funny. I mean, I doubt anyone else would think so, but it contains a fair amount of rock n' roll and baseball conversation that's... that's just great. Mayhaps I'll make a trailer for it and put it on here, or maybe put the entire thing up on iFilm. I'll uh... I'll keep you posted.

Last Thursday night, we went to the Twins game. We won. Somehow. But not after I was escorted by security for trying to sneak into better seats. He made me upgrade my ticket, and by the time I got back, we were losing, I think. But we won. Somehow (Fordyce drops the third -- and final -- strike of the game. Restovich, not knowing where the ball ended up, which was all the way back to the wall, doesn't run until he hears his team, and 20,002 others, egging him on to first base. Fordyce, knowing full well that if he doesn't get the ball to first before Restovich, heaves it down the line to Jeff Conine, who fails to come up with the now dust-covered ball. Safe at first, Restovich turns to see Mientkiewicz cross the plate and tie the game at nine in the bottom of what should have been the last inning. Jones would, one inning later, chop one over Conine's head for a bases-loaded, one-out single to give the Twins the win, and the rubber game.). It was really something else.

I also saw Used Cars, Recess: School's Out, Small Time Crooks, Summer Of Sam, The Virgin Suicides, Max ("C'mon Hitler, I'll buy you a glass of lemonade."), Chelsea Walls, Bend It Like Beckham, Gangs Of New York, Swingers, and something else I hadn't seen before.

Peace.
