Giants suck.
So do the Mets, but not as bad as the Giants, which is why they swept this weekend.
So when do the Giants hit rock bottom? All-Star break?
Blogging in Bed: Randomness
I’m about to nod off, because I’m too tired to watch Kong: Skull Island right now.

I still watch baseball, but it becomes painful to watch when your team is bad.
—
People are making such a big deal about Godzilla fighting Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidrah in his next movie, LIKE THAT’S NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.

Too many games to play.

I seem to be adjusting to the progressives well enough.
Parade and Stuff
KD
My first exposure to Kevin Durant:
I said, “Okay, I’m gonna root for this guy.”
So I bought his McFarlane figure. Watched him lose in the 2012 Finals. Same year that Mark Jackson began coaching the Warriors.
It made sense for me to root for OKC, their colors are blue and orange, like the Mets and Broncos.
Then I started really following the local basketball team, a team with some guy named Steph Curry, and Draymond Green. Jackson said that we all should come down and watch the Warriors play, we’ll have some fun. I meant to take him up on that.
And then Steve Kerr became the head coach, and they won a Championship. The following year, they lost in the Finals.
And then my favorite non-Warriors player decided to play for the Warriors.
My only time I saw him in person:
He threw out the first pitch on Star Trek Night at AT&T Park, September 16, 2016.
Every time I saw him at the end of a Warriors victory this season, I *still* couldn’t believe that he was playing for them.
And then he won the Finals MVP.
I teared up when he and his mom embraced on the court.
If anything I’m more happy for Kevin Durant winning a championship and the MVP than anything else.
Congrats, KD.
Tuesday
More ships for Attack Wing came in. Yay!
I still have a few more ships coming in. Yikes.
Also, update!

Sports gaming week overlapped into this week. I knew a schedule wouldn’t work.
—
Star Trek Attack Wing has me watching the Star Trek films again. Not that that’s a bad thing, of course.

Weird not having my usual shows on TV, until Fall.

Sunday Recap
Monday
Randomness
Took a long drive around the Bay Area today, running errands from Gator Games to Fry’s Electronics to Game Kastle Fremont, and finally to Nelson’s place in El Cerrito for our Games Night, this time on International Tabletop Day.
*whew*
I lost track of time at Game Kastle, and along with a traffic delay on 880N, I arrived a little later than I intended to, about 20 minutes after our scheduled start time.
Games were played, food was eaten, and I actually won in a game that I had never in the past.
—
The Giants lost again. Arrgh.
—
I’m behind on a couple of shows for the first time in a while. Arrow and tonight’s Doctor Who, I’m probably going to catch them on Sunday.

I’m hearing the siren’s call of some of my sports games again, but not enough to set one up. That may change, though.
