I haven't seen them live yet, myself. But I'm willing to give 'em a shot - pretty pop for my tastes, but...

as someone who isn't likely to ever get to bed at a decent hour, i still feel a slight sense of relief at the drama being over -- at least for now.

and i also know those people who seem to actually get angry at the idea of treating a game as, well, a game rather than a life-or-death struggle between good and evil. i mean, i really enjoy the storylines of a great sporting matchup, which is probably why i enjoy sports so much, but in the end, i can't see myself every lining up to jump off the Walt Whitman over any of it.

and since you mentioned writing something longer than a comment on the subject of franchises and their people, i'll be looking forward to it ;)

i can relate to leafing through vintage journals and laughing (or cringing) at some of the ideas i once held to firmly -- though i suppose it would be a somewhat sad thing to hold all the same beliefs over that sort of timespan. in that way, i completely agree that we should never stop developing intellectually, so may your hope become reality.

beautiful analysis. there's probably a good 3 years worth of behavioral
science studies in that post, Anthony.

Thanks for the input, Jess! That's great stuff. I can't wait to get down there.

i think you've got it more or less pegged. in my experience, despite the fact that i'm not much like anyone else i know, i do alter my behavior to a certain extent, depending on my surroundings. which one's the real one? that's an excellent question -- maybe i'll have that answer some day ;)

thanks for stopping by, Susan!

i think you could probably handle the haiku fairly well -- though i tend to think of it as something to practice rather than something to master.

Who doesn't love a pair of boots like that on a lady so fine!? :)

Not sure - I think I might have just logged into disqus and allowed it?

that seems to be a fair interpretation. the beauty of this haiku, to me, is that it can be seen from various perspectives and reasonably apply to all of them.

i'm glad you like it!

maybe i shouldn't tell you this, but you were only the second person to order one, so there wasn't much of a line in front of you.

Yes, watching the Yankees is something akin to watching Walmart roll over
mom and pop shops in small towns, but the experience of playoff baseball in
that new stadium should be pretty amazing. Of course, it is still American
League baseball, which I find repugnant.

thanks, PJ.
incidentally, I've already written haiku for both sorts of occasions, long
before this idea cropped up in my mind -- but I'd be happy to do some more
:)

Well that may be true... I mean Tamaryn sounds an awful lot like, say Pains of Being Pure at Heart... but they sound an awful lot like Belle & Sebastian and My Bloody Valentine. But all those are good bands, so I can dig it.

You know Tamaryn personally?
