Derby de Mayo

Mets vs Brewers

Saturday marked our first Mets game with the season tickets. Unfortunately, the Mets lost to the Brewers, Johan Santana pitched a bad game, but it didn't end up raining and good times were had by all (expect the mother sitting in front of us). We started the day off drinking blueberry beer, playing Wii, and eating some party mix (all thanks to Tort). JT could not make it to the game (something about being in St. Maartin), so Roommate joined in and proved to be much cooler! We even had some Mr. Softee.

These weren't our actual seats, we managed to hang out on the lower level when JDF was in the bathroom. It seemed like a Kodak moment.

3/4's of the original Mets crew....Roommate was an OUTSTANDING substitute.

The physical abuse I get from Roommate, even when I give her a ticket to the Mets game.

Citi Field in the outfield. Roommate didn't realize it was a whole other field...she just thought it was part of Shea.

JDF is wondering how he managed not having a gold bracelet that matched his gold glasses all this time.

Classic photography....Tort is up to no good with Ribods.

BTW- We are clearly sober in all of these pictures.

Books

I did some rearranging of the library and thought I'd take a snap shot of what I've read.

The Orchid

Roommate brought this orchid plant home from work the other day. This is not only a very expensive flower, but also a unique flower that requires a tremendous amount of care compared to most plants. The plants stays in my room during the day so it receives the proper amount light every day. After reading up on orchids, once they stop blooming it becomes a challenge to regrow the plant after cutting it down.

Roommate lost interest in the orchid soon after her delivery. In an email she said, "the orchid turned out to be a lame addition...that thing just sits in roommates (Ribods') room, listening to NPR, reading about rats, emailing on its flowerberry..."
