The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine

Watched the Potomac Nationals (Minor League A) take down the Salem Avalanche 2-1 today. They have a charming little ballpark in the middle of Woodbridge, Virginia, and I got a great seat next to first base for only $4.50. The walk-off run was a line-drive to center with two outs in the bottom of the 9th. Not bad for my first Minor League game.

Opened up the box for my Renu eyedrops, specifically designed to moisturize contact lenses without having to take them out, and couldn't help but be amused and a bit disturbed at the little advertisement inside for their MoistureLoc brand of lens cleaner. That is the brand that caused fungal infections and blindness a few months ago, and had to be pulled from shelves. I had already gone through about half a bottle when I first heard about it.

Schilling gets the win for today's victory over the Rangers, and Wakefield has apparently been pitching through a fractured rib for a month.

The Fringe Festival is coming to DC this week and I plan on catching the one-man Star Wars show next weekend.

Top 5 Goldeneye favorite weapons:

1. Grenade launcher - bouncing shots off walls into adjacent rooms is way too much fun.
2. DD44 Dostovei - weaker than the Magnum, but faster and more fun to riddle opponents with multiple head shots.
3. Automatic Shotgun - a real clutch weapon, surprisingly useful against automatics if you're brave enough to close distance.
4. RC-P90 - no surprise here; a gun that performs like butter.
5. ZMG 9mm - looks cool, large clip, generally reliable gun that you don't get to use too often.
