Nothing else to say about this one, I guess.

So! Sorry I abandoned everyone yesterday. I will quickly address the comments left on yesterday's strip, in order:

• RAW - no problem. I will buy you a Guinness slushie at Club this weekend to celebrate. Yell at Affleck-Graves.
• MJL - no shit it's inhuman, and you friggin' want to try and run this thing.
• Pat - no, although in high school I had to read a poem about the Easter Rising (which is how I know it), and the teacher asked us what it was about and after re-reading, I blurted out to the class, "It's Zombie!" after the Cranberries' song, which was not embarrassing at the time, but is now. Patriot's Day as I was using it is the annual commeroration of the battle of Lexington-Concord in Beantown. The Sox play an eleven o'clock game every Patriot's Day, and the Kenyans whup the rest of the world in the Boston Marathon. But if yesterday was 90 years to the day of the Easter Rising, that's pretty sweet, too.
• Bullet points, whoo!
• Wood - Goddamn yes, Papelbon! And Beckett! And because of yesterday, what the hell, Loretta! Whoo!
• Because bullets are about all I'm capable of at the moment:
  • My 'rents came down for Easter in Nyack, during which we saw SKT and fella, very randomly. Which is always good.
  • I ate way too much on Sunday, which led to the PBSathon that you had to hear about yesterday.
  • Yesterday, my 'rents came to Brooklyn for bagels and a stroll before we all went into town to the MoMA's Munch exhibit, Tartine, and Magnolia (because New Yorkers love their cupcakes). Then I showed Dad the RBI Baseball thing and he couldn't believe it. He still doesn't know how Stanley couldn't nail it down.
  • Munch is more than Scream (.pdf), which is good, since Scream's not actually at the exhibit at the MoMA. I really liked Vampire, Madonna, the Day After, Self-Portrait in Hell, the Kiss, Self-Portrait (Night Wanderer), and Moonlight, which is not done justice in that .pdf.

Pretty much all I've got. I'll find some stuff today to make an actual blog entry for you, you guys deserve it. You're beautiful people. And you're putting up with Ron's melodrama right now, which should get you a medal, really.

bullfrog

uh-oh.

anybody a member of MoMA and want to bring me as their guest? I want to see the Munch exhibit, but $20 for a museum is just crazy (especially when you're unemployed...)

I can't get over how popular the MoMA is despite the steep ticket price - that place was packed yesterday. It's basically a money factory.

I was home sick yesterday, so I didn't get to write this...how about Albert hitting 3 HRs for #15's birthday? Pretty darn sweet.

Oh, shit, she was at that game, too, wasn't she? She's probably dead now. That probably killed her.

I went to Fenway for my 21st - Brian Daubach hit me a homer. They still lost.

I actually have a terrible lifetime record of seeing the Sox play - I think they're like 6-20 or so.

Were you sick, MNP, or just a little too much Easter punch? ;-)

Sorry to make you all sick after lunch, but this was brought to my attention:

At the White House Easter Egg Roll, dozens of children “from the stricken Gulf Coast region serenaded First Lady Laura Bush with a song praising the beleaguered Federal Emergency Management Agency.” To the tune of “Hey Look Me Over,” the kids from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama sang:

“Our country’s stood beside us People have sent us aid. Katrina could not stop us, our hopes will never fade. Congress, Bush and FEMA People across our land Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!”

I think my little brother polished off the majority of that punch :) nope, migranes strike again. I don't recommend them.

Yeah, Albert's show on sunday was CRAZY AWESOME. I just about died from the thrill of seeing it live - he hit all three homers right above our heads.
