I have a game in an hour, and it's so hot I want to bang my head against a cement wall. I've been hiding out in my air conditioned house all day, except for the 5 minute motorcycle ride I took to get lunch. Kind of nice - the breeze cools you off. But part of my ass melted to the bike seat when I first got on it. Not pleasant.
Just read that Rosemary Clooney died over the weekend. Sad. Our old roomate Scott used to force us to watch her in "White Christmas" pretty much every other weekend because Danny Kaye was so unbearably annoying in that film it was like a train wreck.
I saw her on TV recently and couldn't believe how HUGE she was and how little her head looked. Like someone stuck an olive on a basketball.
So, Phoebe's (the cat) new nickname is Rosemary Clooney Felini. She has a huge body, small head and an abnormally small nose. Her nose is like an afterthought. Like her DNA decided last second "Holy shit, we forgot the nose! Quick, use some brain cells and fill it in."
Well, off to finish washing my uniform -- it was still dirty from last week and I didn't think my teammates wanted to smell me festering in a dirty, sweaty t-shirt in the boiling summer sun. And I leave you with that pleasant thought.
Happy Sweating!
