There's nothing like having a 3-1 count, and you're looking for a fastball down the pipe, and the pitcher throws a fastball. down the pipe. and you don't swing. it's so frustrating. but you are down 1 and must get on base any way possible. taking a pitch 3-1 in certain situations is acceptable. like when the pitcher is wild and is having a hard time finding the plate.
when fishing topwater baits, your first reaction is to set the hook when u see a fish rise on your lure. don't. keep the retreiving motion until you feel the fish. for anxious people like myself, i prefer reeling in hard without moving ur rod from the downward position it is in during topwater retrieval. don't set the hook, even if it's the natural reaction you have to that situation.
in more, baseball news, if you are below .500, you should NOT be in contention for anything, let alone the wild card. i haven't mentioned the dodgers in forever.

I didn't want to say anything.
MIKE
Why?
ROB
I don't know. It's like not talking to
a pitcher in the midst of a no hitter.
MIKE
What? Like, you didn't want to jinx it?
ROB
Kinda
I hope they don't go around playing like shit in September. It's not a sprint. It's a marathon.
The weather in LA right now is satanically hot. I don't mind it being 85, but 98? That's not cool. The shit you deal with when you live in Los Angeles right now. A baseball team that's as hot as the weather.
had drinks from an old friend last night after work. her computer's sick and i have to fix it. had a nice little lesson in adware/spyware, and how it can royally fuck a computer. once again, i guess nobody goes outta their way to create software like that to invade MacOS.
