CARLOS I'M HOME!
Oh, yes, it sure is good to be home. Arizona was great, as usual. Grandma was annoying, especially with having to go to the hospital for taking Advil, and talking nonstop about the stocks, her knee, and her new cell phone. I love Grandma, but she talks so much.
8/3/06:Sweet Tomatoes Opening Ceremonies
Just like I remembered, Sweet Tomatoes was glorious. They festivities started with me having a retard moment when I saw that my favorite ST pasta, Penne Aribatta, was out on the pasta buffet. As usual, the chicken noodle soup was delightful. I barely took any chicken or broth. I just wanted the noodles! Finally, for dessert, I got a brownie from the bakery buffet thing, and put frozen (and super cold) yogurt on it with oreo crumbs. Um, can you say "Simply amazing"?
8/4/06: Starbucks The First Sugar Bowl Rush
What can be better than coffee ice cream in the greatest ice cream parlor ever made?
Also, I made a build-a-bear, but that's completely obvious. He was an awesome-looking dog and I named him Starbucks. Hehe..
8/6/06: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Borat and Carlos
Dad, Tyler and I went to the Fashion Square mall to go see Talladega nights with Aunt Dina and Daniel, our Arizonian (hehe) cousin. When the previews were being shown, there was a preview for a movie called "Borat" and Tyler fell in love with it. You need to see the preview. It was hilarious and Tyler and I have an amount of interest in it, yet it's rated R and I won't ever be able to get in, unless I stuff my bra and wear make-up to make me look older, but make-up isn't my style.
Anyways, Talladega nights was pure funny, and Will Ferrell rules, but I had to get back to the hotel BADLY since the Mets were on ESPN.
When my parents dropped Ty and me off, Tyler gave me a room key and I ran to the room and I was screaming "CCAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!", but very quietly. I only saw Carlos bat once, but before the inning began where he batted, ESPN showed a clip of Carlos talking about team chemistry. Daaaannnggg. He's sexy. And the quote of that day was,
"HE DOES SPEAK ENGLISH!" -Tyler.
In your face, brothah man.
8/8/06: Giants vs. Diamondbacks
My pictures from the game aren't uploaded to my laptop, so I probably won't be posting them, because Mom might delete them. Anyways, Barry Bonds was booed, of course. Just as planned, I took many pictures of Shawn Green for Jewish pride (HAHAAA!!). We also sat next to the Giants' bullpen, and I spotted a Spongebob backpack. Tyler and I yelled to the players, "NICE BACKPACK!!" and we took like 6 pictures of it. Hah. I also took a picture of the peanut mess they made and a coffee holder.
One of the pitchers tried to throw a peanut shell to Tyler, but he didn't catch it. Tyler asked Dad for the Goldfish pretzels, but Dad refused, even though Ty was only joking.
Speaking of pitchers, I happened to get a pitcher of Armando Benitez in the bullpen. I really don't have another comment about that, though.
8/9/06: Tale of the Rookie League
Dad was walking out to the parking lot after he brought Grandma to the hospital (it was a whole thing about taking Advil over 65. Don't ask) when he saw that the lights at Scottsdale Stadium were on. Scottsdale Stadium and the hospital are literally neighbors, along with Los Olivos being a great Mexican restaurant, and another neighbor, so it was a short walk for Dad.
He walked into the Stadium to see that the Padres vs. the Giants were having their rookie teams playing there. IT WAS FREE, and only, like, 15 people were there. Dad and Tyler went to Papago Park in Phoenix a few times after that to see the A's rookie team play.
8/11/06: Sweet Tomatoes 2006 Finale (a quote from Tyler)
Before I say anything, it's the anniversary of the Carlos-Cammy collision. Let's all have a moment of silence, please...ok all done.
ST didn't have my Penne Aribatta, but they had Vegetarian Marinara, which I did like.
The biggest controversy started with how we could bring the soup home to show the New Jersey-side family. Mom thought they didn't have to-go bowls and stuff, but I figured out on the first day that they did. We also had to buy a very stirdy container wrapped with duct tape to hold the soup instead of the plastic bowls so it doesn't spill in the plane, and since there was that new rule about no liquids past security check, we had to put it in our regular luggage. Oh, the terror.
Then, my brother and I had the finale. I had my brownie with the frozen yogurt on top, and oreo crumbs, and he had apple cobbler with ice cream on top. After that, I left. For a whole year. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8/12/06: Eat-in Night and Little League
Arizona ended with watching a match of Phoenix vs. Fresno Little League on ESPN, along with Aunt Dina, Uncle Barry, and Daniel coming to our hotel room for our annual Eat-in night, which we have every year the day before we leave. They had chinese, and we had Italian.
Lastly, we had to say goodbye until they came to New Jersey in October for my Bat-Mitzvah. And that was that.
8/13/06: See Ya Soon, Arizona.
Our flight was at 11 am. We were there early, so Tyler bought ESPN the Magazine at a bookstore to entertain him. He gave it to me first, and I saw the Mr. Met picture, which I love. I also LOOOVE the Jocks with Cameras article. Here's a memorable quote from Bronson Arroyo's section:
"After I pitched on Saturday, we were out all night. Then we got Wendy's."
My brother loved that. Enough said.
On the plane, they showed She's the Man. Lately, I've been seeing Channing Tatum everywhere. I think it's his name that gets to me.
What kind of name is Channing?
Mom made a new friend on the plane who was going to New York for the first time. He works for this mortgage company from the west that's coming to the east, too. An Angels fan, he's going to see the Yankees play them at Yankee Stadium. Tyler was showing off about Yankee Stadium, and I'm like "Shea is way better."
Tyler: Shea Stadium is the ugliest stadium I've ever seen.
Me: WELL IT HAS MORE COLORS INSTEAD OF BORING NAVY!
Pshh.
What really went wrong was that our driver didn't show up and my parents made me take a cab. I yelled "DO YOU WANT MY SHOULDER TO BE SEPARATED??" and it was so embarrassing that our neighbors from across the street were playing basketball, and they were watching. I never want to be seen in a taki ever again. ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE ARE WATCHING.
<><><>
Now I'm home, back in Mets land. I missed Carlos more than anything, except Granny and Grandpa, my cousins, and my friends. During the time I was gone, Carlos didn't hit one homerun. I think he missed me, too. And my bed was so comfy.
Today, Tyler and I will be going to Granny's house to distribute the soup, which Mom tasted last night. It was cold, but she said it was perfect. I can't wait at all.
<><><>
Now, for the things I've missed.
1: Leave Paulie alone, ok? If anyone needs to know anything about anyone's personal life, go stalk Carlos.
2: Is Michael Tucker related to John Tucker?
3: I MISS CARLOS
4: the Harlem RBI kids were killing Carlos. I saw the picture in the NY Times. Grandma's friend gets the National edition. I think it was the full article.
5: To get back, Carlos molested a kid at his clinic. Yes, I'm kidding, but he's touching one of the kid's chests, so, I had to use humor.
6:CARLOS COME BAAAAACKKKK and be mvp pleeeease...!! =)
Well, bye bye Mister.
