ME: today i showed up at work early and got a lot of things done that i needed to. but it's still never enough and the phone will not stop ringing. i answer the phone, type, answer the phone, talk to my boss and his wife, type, answer phone, search for old resumes, &c...but, busy is good. i'm still looking for the time i can focus on my own art and music again. i miss it so much and am going nuts not creating anything. not even a silly video skit or something. got home from work, went to see my landlord's lawyer. he was the dude i went to when i first found this place all them years ago...here in the booming park slope. we sit down and discuss gov. spitzer and his thing for hookers and how crazy it was and hypocritical. then we talk about my landlords. there are more than one. they're in fact a family from far away. i've had a love hate relationship with them and is presently in the love stage. they sent someone over to fix a leak in the kitchen (from the far window). no one noticed the broken window from the indoor catch the other night! go figure. maybe teh handyman saw but didn't say anything? anyways, i had to see the lawyer guy, who happens to be a nice fella, a broker and landlord himself, he's made his way, is middle-aged and seems like a nice guy. he's been around the block. he asks me how everyone is in the building. i tell him as much as i know. then we get down to brass tax and discuss the new lease. the landlords told me to speak with him today about a new lease. but he knew nothing about it. so we talked some more about hillary and obama (he voted for hillary) and i requested the lease be for two years. he said he would do his best. i also requested the increase not be so high...he said it probably wouldn't be. i hope that's right. hung out on the computer. was tired. my hip really hurts quite a bit. odd...well, not really being that i have arthritis under my knees...stuff is probably spreading. i need to diet...i feel bloated and crappy. made the dumbest mistake of having mcdonald's...what the hell was i thinking. messed me up...played becky some playstation 1 wheel of fortune, watched in treatment and high school confidential (which is kinda cool in theory but executed with poor production values) and went to bed mad late. the game was televised today but i saw none of it.
METS: today the Mets played the Boston Red Sox and both Delgado and Beltran returned to the lineup, although together they went 0-5, it was still a pleasure to see them back. Santana went four innings, struck our four and gave up two hits; no walks. it was, thus far, his best spring outing as he gave up no runs! the game ended in a 1-1 tie. the Sox' Lester was equally as impressive going four as well, striking out five and also allowed two hits and no runs. some say Jon Lester may prove to be the Red Sox ace this year. the "World Champions," huh? well, we'll certainly see about that this year! Jacoby Ellsbury had a hit off Santana in his effort to get the starting CF job. Pagan went 1-3 with a run scored. Pedro will not start tomorrow against the Red Sox, but will instead stay at home for another simulated game. i just found out that he seems to be against traveling games in spring training! who knew?!
