Found out a couple of weeks ago, but hadn't mentioned it here... didn't win the kickball video competition. Came in third. (First place was this video.)

I'll concede that their video had better production values (given that mine was old kickball footage that was sparkly, plus a music video -- whereas theirs had more of a script to it). Plus, they're in Texas, where it's warm enough to get people out for a kickball video shoot in the winter.

I was annoyed that the second place video was submitted late -- but, without knowing what the second place winner gets as a prize (or, for that matter, what I get for a prize), I really can't complain.

I just know better what to do for next year.

Why in the world is my upstream so low?

The Way I Feel: confused

Sunday, my back was killing me... Monday morning, as I left work, I called the MD and made an appointment for this morning.

When I got up Monday night for work... I was feeling very nauseous and queasy. I think there was some milk in my fridge that was on the verge of going bad - it was dated fine and tasted a little off, but I thought it might have been because of the food I was eating it with.

I called in Monday night and rested... this morning, went to see the MD, and she gave me painkillers/NSAID for the back... came home, made lunch, and went back to bed.

Got up a little while ago... and still queasy and nauseous. I called in again because the last thing I wanna do is puke at work... and on top of that, I'm having other gastro-intestinal issues related to it. I absolutely HATE calling in to work, but as musiker pointed out last night, if I'm not productive, there's no point.

I'm starving right now, but so don't feel like eating.

If I didn't know better, I'd say I'm pregnant.

Restaurant Bans Children Younger Than 6
Owner Wants To Cater Restaurant To Adults

SILVERTON, Ore. -- The management for a popular restaurant in Silverton, Ore., announced Thursday that young children would no longer be allowed into the establishment.

The manager at the Red Thai restaurant on Oak Street said children under the age of 6 aren't welcome in the eatery.

The Red Thai manager, Craig Gereau, said children disrupt people who are trying to enjoy a quiet dinner.

He said most of his customers like the new rule, but he's had to turn some people away.

"We've had to turn a few young parents away. They're a little bit appalled, a little bit annoyed, but we have to do what we have to do. We can't stay in business to please everybody," Gereau said.

Gereau said he's not discriminating against anyone; he just wants to run a restaurant that caters to adults, and said there are plenty of family restaurants in Silverton for children.

I went to bed at about 430 or so last night. I JUST got up at about 8am this morning.

(There were moments where I woke up and drifted back into consciousness -- but either way, this isn't good.)

Watch the video courtesy of WAFB in Baton Rouge, LA. (This is, IMHO, one of the more odd Whozit?! subjects we've done in recent months.)

While clearing out the camera, I remembered that I took a couple of pics of the new video board at Kauffman Stadium last time I was there...



Yes, it's that ginormously big. The board out in the field is nice too, but the Royals need to ditch the player announcements on it:



The extreme close-up of the eyes just... doesn't work. Doesn't matter who the player is; it's still just a hair creepy.
