Since I no longer have to think about stuff how many batter Mike Timlin will pitch to and when is a good time to pinch run with Dave Roberts, my brain was filled with all sorts of random thoughts today. Not all of them made sense.

-You know how some people named Andre have kids named DeAndre and likewise with Mario and DeMario, I might name my kid DeCal. His nickname will be 'Sticker'.

-I can't decide if I want to shave my goatee. I haven't shaved since the beginning of the epic Red Sox-Yankees series because I was going for the Millar-Mueller-Meintkiewcz beard look. I was saying I wouldn't shave until Boston won the World Series, which thankfully they did. I like it because it makes me look meaner. My mom and grandmother told me it makes me look like a thug. My dad said I look like a bum and if I don't shave, I will somehow become homeless.

-I think I will pre-order the Seinfeld dvd's from Amazon. I usually just like to go to Best Buy and pick up my dvd's, but I guess it's a decent price and I don't know if it will be cheaper at Best Buy. I already pre-ordered Aqua Teen Hunger Force Vol. 3.

-My ear infection seems to have gone away, but those antibiotics I was taking came with a label that said: 'IMPORTANT finish all this medication unless otherwise directed by prescriber.' Since I'm feeling healed, I was thinking about just popping the remaining 15 or so pills all at once (I'm already way off the every 8 hours directions anyways). Will it kill me? Penicillin is just mold, right? So it's just like eating a lot of moldy bread, which taste just fine after toasting and adding butter.
