went to a giants game last night at pac bell park. fun stuff. well, baseball's not my favorite sport to watch, but any live sporting event is a million times better than watching it on tv. it's the whole atmosphere contributing to the aesthetic enjoyment--yeah, i'll stop. i wrote a whole ihum paper on that in "things of beauty" after our required attendance of a football game. whee!

so the game was a company trip to take hiro, my supervisor from japan, to his first baseball game since he's a hugehugehuge fan (and shinjo plays for the giants too, of course). at the bottom of the fourth, they showed a little blurb on the screen welcoming "hiro and his DNAX friends" =) hiro's so cute in his modest, happy, nice way. plus he knows more than you'll ever want to know about leukocytes, red blood cells, and the human body. he draws pictures for me when he's explaining things! haha.

the actual game was pretty slow at times and we had crappyass seats at the top of the bleachers facing the wind (plus i forgot my jacket at home), but the giants won 3-2! that was cool. running to catch the caltrain back to palo alto and walking back to DNAX to pick up my car before then driving another half hour back to san jose was not that cool. didn't get back until after 1 am. =( i need my sleep before work the next morning. i'm so weak--not as young as i used to be. hah.

oh, had a fire extinguisher training session today at work. i can put you out if you're ever engulfed in flames and i have a fire extinguisher handy.
