today is monday 16 june 2003.
early blog. just got back from hebrew. plan of the day--study.
intro to melvinistic terminology:
lost puppy--person who plays left field, in a different ballpark. a person not-at-all there.
emu--person who just doesn't get it, no matter how many times you go over the material with that person. proper name for an emu is maxwell (maxwell is an actual emu who lives in escondido, california at the wild animal park--for 20 years maxwell is able to do one trick and that is walking back and forth on the stage--every day is a new day for this poor emu, and maxwell learns and re-learns this trick everyday).
tomko--saturday's game with cards and yanks had cards pitcher matt morris going only 2/3 of an inning because of the rain. brett tomko comes in and pitches 5 and 1/3--it wasn't pretty--about a hundred pitches yielded 9 runs for the yanks. yes, it was batting practice, yet cards manager tony la russa couldn't pull tomko, else he'd burn his bullpen. so a tomko will refer to a person getting shelled for the sake of the team.
true bud--highest status in the subculture. a melvinist who helps a melvin in need.
melvinistic holidays--two of them so far. 11 december for the sub-culture leader's birthday. 02 july--second significant day of the subculture because a) the day i left the university 2) the day i saw the dodgers beat the giants at dodger stadium (first game at dodger stadium)--different year than a) of course.
melvinistic foods--the breakfast food of pop-tarts has somewhat fallen out of favor. blueberry pop-tarts were the most melvinistic in its hey-day. anything chinese is usually good. coffee is always good--starbucks, kona blends, and sometimes peaberry--but the all time fave is carribou coffee which is by far the smoothest (so let me know if you're headed up to minnesota anytime so you can get me a couple pounds of carribou blend!). and meatloaf. school cafeteria meatloaf!--there's nothing else like it. 8-o
dodger report: blue men off monday. tuesday the giants visit chavez ravine. hopefully it will be miserable for them.
