Oh What a Night

Glenn picked me up for the Giants game at the usual time.

The clouds in the distance looked dark and were cause for concern.

It appeared that there might be some light showers at game time.

There were, along with thunder and lightning, which caused the start of game to be delayed until 7:55pm.

During that time, we found shelter and ate our Cha-Cha Bowls.

The rain subsided and we returned to our seats for the starting lineups and the National Anthem.

The rain started up again during the anthem.

Chris Stratton retired the first Dodger batter, Curtis Granderson.

And then the downpour started again and Glenn and I hightailed it out of there.  It wasn’t enough to get soaked, and the temperature was warm enough that it didn’t feel as uncomfortable as it should have.

We stopped by the Dugout Store to do some browsing, but didn’t pick up anything.

Glenn dropped me off at home, where I got to watch the second half of the Chargers-Broncos game, which was more stressful at the end than it needed to be, with the Broncos blocking the game-tying field goal to seal the win.

After the game I switched channels back to the Giants game, where they said that the game would resume at 10:50pm.

Ack.

So I went to bed listening to a live Giants game instead of the midnight replay.

I woke up around 2:30am and heard the end of the game, Giants 8 Dodgers 6.

Woohoo.

I enjoyed it.

I know it’s not for everyone.

The story was your typical sci-fi plot used to introduce the crew/ship/tech/baddies.

The crew was like one of my old role-playing gaming groups in college, when we’d play either Star Trek or Star Wars RPGs, especially the helm and navigator characters.

The ships look like something that I’d make if I were better at computer imaging.

The tech looks like standard future tech, right down to the shuttles and weaponry.

The baddies look like albino Jem’Hadar.

Give it a look.

Hulu

Someone hacked into my Hulu account, somehow changed my password, added a couple of profiles, and a bunch of devices to it.

It’s all been corrected/secured.

I hope.
