In celebration of opening day 2006 for the Cleveland Indians, my company sent out a memo yesterday saying we could wear Indian’s attire to work today. Whoohoo. So today I have on my culturally insensitive Chief Wahoo t-shirt. Go Tribe.
It looks to be a bit monsoon-ish out today, hopefully it all blows out of the area by game time. I have the afternoon off. Not because of the game, I have other appointments. But apparently the office is giving out free hot dogs and cheese pizza (for the Lenten crowd) in the lunch room today in celebration. So I won’t be running out of here exactly at noon. Can’t pass up free hotdogs, and I’ve seen the buns sitting in the lunchroom, and they are the big stadium sized monsters.
In other news: I’ve been digging around looking for information on a new band I heard on the radio named Blue October. I wanted to check them out because I’ve heard the one song on the radio by them - Hate Me, and its cool, but there’s this instrument that comes in toward the end of the song. I’m listening to this rock song, and here comes the melodious echoes of a violin. I think that’s different for a rock band, so I check their profile on Yahoo music and see that indeed one member of the band does play a fiddle. I checked out the video there on Yahoo and sure enough it appears to be a nice shiny purple violin strung in between the bass and guitar. Very nice. Keep rockin. I enjoy bands that drift away from the main stream.
