slow internet

toxic audio was good (they are an acapella group that create instrument sounds and put on an interesting fun show in case you didn't know)... coincidentally, they take requests and one slip of paper asked them to do a song about a slow internet connection in the andrew lloyd webber gendre and they did phantom of the opera with lyrics they made up about the foibles and challenges of a slow internet connection... funny, clever, very good... and wouldn't you know the internet is slow as crap sliding uphill tonight...

the italian place was good, not great... decent sauce, mostly cooked thick sliced eggplant parm, skimpy on cheese (about half covered), good cheese garlic bread, good prices... the stret festival was typical for this area, just a place to wander around and crave all the foods, but i was too stuffed to eat after dinner and just grabbed a snack after the show... excellent fudge at the french bakery, good ice cream at scoops... and good compamny...

headed to the card party after the group at the festival broke up at 11pm... and just getting home now... softball in four hours, so three hours sleep max, alas... why they continue to ask us to get up and work out before games is sad as the team does not usually do well waking early on game day, but the coach likes his control... a 4-1 record is not good enough (even though the other three teams in our division also have 4-1 records and are much better teams than us on paper and on the field)... egos are so undermining, alas...

but i am determined to have fun despite the fatigue and demands and egos and all the drama they like to cook up... cuz that's the best i can do and i want to do my best as much as possible (and i can do better at doing my best)... even with a very slow internet :)
