day 112.

we've been skipping days here and there, but this week we missed a bunch. whoops. i don't know why i've been so busy, but i have. thankfully part of the reason is because i've been working on a freelance project - well, two, actually, although i'm only getting paid for one of them. and the other part is that i think i'm still worn out from making a colossal salad the other night. i think vegetables are only supposed to energize you when you don't spend about 4 hours chopping them up.

since i failed to take photos of the epic bowl of garden-y goodness, i'm going to cheat a little and post photos from d
ay 109, since i can't possibly disappear from a photojournalism project for 3 days and then not have any actual photos to show for it.

so for our sports fan readers, i imagine day 109 will seem the most exciting thus far as it involved a trip to yankee stadium. being i'm not at all a baseball fan, and when i am pretending to be a baseball fan i lean more towards the mets than the yankees because the mets have an entertaining mascot, i could care less about the game, but being there was a shiny new stadium and all, i was super excited to go and check out the new place, most especially the new food offerings. if there's one thing that makes baseball games tolerable, it's the hotdogs. and popcorn. and ice cream in little plastic hat cups.

the new food stands did not disappoint
, especially once i came across this one:

:
how i love garlic fries! i was so excited to eat them i accidentally threw half the container of them all over my shiny new stadium seat.

but the biggest entertainment of the game came a little later, when i looked over and noticed what the woman sitting diagonally from me was holding on her lap:

the parenthesized subtitle had my friend and i in stitches. i'm always amazed by the crazy uber-fans who carry ledgers to the game to document every move the players make - do they actually go back and read through the stats?

i'd so much rather focus on the snacks.

OK, there's so much good stuff here I need to write a multi-pronged comment:

• Veggies - four hours to chop them!? WTF!? Were you chopping them into a fine powder!?

• Is the Yankees' mascot a rough looking pigeon?

• Garlic fries: WANT!

• HOW. THE. HELL. DID. YOU. GET. A. PHOTO. OF. THAT. MENTAL. BOOK. WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT?!
