Isolation Thought

How frustrating. I was listening to "Burning Inside" by Ministry this a.m., which requires you to drive at least 87 mph. The woman in front of me on Route 8 decides that'd be a nice stretch of road to do her eyes. Now I've been bumped twice by women who decided to apply makeup and not pay attention, so when I see it in action, it pisses me off. I don't think you see many guys leaving the house without any pants on, when they are running late. Just wake up 5 minutes earlier, would that hurt anything?

And I was in such a good mood until that point because one of two songs I permit myself to dance to while driving was on. There are two danceable songs while driving: "Roam" by the B-52's and "Our House" by Madness. Everything else is fair game for singing, but those are the only two with which you can do a legitimate dance. Don't even compare applying makeup to dancing. I can still dance and drive 87 mph.

Al Leiter does a great job on the Fox baseball coverage, now that Tim McCarver has gone senile. But have you noticed when Fox runs a certain-angled replay, they insert the sound effect of a crack of the bat. I don't get that at all. At least they dumped the exploding radar sound effect. But "Scooter" needs to go. Do not interrupt a game to have a cartoon explain what a curveball is.
