surprise, surprise: the indians lost

deadbabymama and laine made it safely here in time for the indians game tonight. the indians' loss was sucky, but they made up for it with spectacular fireworks after the game. after an hour trying to get out of the parking lot, we made it to siam cafe just as they closed, so (in typical american fashion) we got in the car to go across the street to bo loong, where we were subjected to abyssmal karaoke while we ate shrimp in black bean sauce and bean curd and eggplant. tomorrow we're headed to the market and then to the rock hall, which is great, because we've never been to the rock hall, even though we've lived about a mile from it for three years; their visit is helping us do tourist stuff in our own town. more than that, though, it's awesome to hang out with people with whom we can joke about hans. such a relief.
