After a discussion about coincidences, free will and pre-destination (amongst other things) over some extremely tasty sushi, the three of us saw an incredibly pretty rainbow as we were leaving The Blue Fish last night.
This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
Most amazing.
You know you’re growing up, really growing up, when your friends begin working full-time jobs, begin moving out, and most importantly, begin planning their lives with their future spouse. Now, I only fulfill one of these things, but my bestest friend on the other hand is a different story: she’ll be three for three in the next year.
A very huge congratulations to both her and her significant other on their (now official) engagement, which I spent much of today with friends and family celebrating. (There’s nothing quite like being part of a dam hoi.)
I’ll refrain from getting too sappy/cheesy, and keep it at this: to the happy couple, I wish you two the best and tons and tons of happiness and joy and merriment.
Congratulations and many cheers, friends!
How I spent my Thursday evening:
The view from the eleventh row, behind first base.

I don’t particularly enjoy watching baseball on TV but going to games has always been a much different (read: much much better) experience. Last night’s game against the Angels was pretty fun to be at, especially when the Rangers began to rally back from a six-point deficit. After managing to tie it in the seventh it was pretty unfortunate when we watched them lose four innings later; a shame, really, after watching the best defensive play of the game by Brandon Boggs and Max Ramirez.
Personally, I think Davis’ hit should have counted for a home run instead of a double. I certainly would have been home a whole lot sooner, for one thing.
Overall, not a bad effort for a team that most people write off in the MLB. They may not be winning another pennant this year or next year (or even the next), but it was pretty cool to see them play like a team that believed they could.
