We're not in Kansas anymore... oh wait

Update:
I'm in Wichita.  At a semi good hotel.  Catching up on old episodes of The Bachelor of course.  

Bad news:  As I was checking in to the hotel room, the front desk guy got a call from someone in their room complaining about bugs... and the front desk guy was explaining that the exterminator came last week... blah blah blah.  and said he would be willing to move him to another room or give him a refund.  right then I wanted to butt in and ask for a refund and spend $20 more for a nicer place.  
Good news: I SEARCHED my room for any signs of bugs and could not find any.  So I will be able to sleep peacefully tonight (minus the noise from my neighbors.  I hope they go to bed soon.  And don't snore)

I sure love being poor!

Today's baseball game was fun.  It was good to see the team in person and not on a computer screen.  The Wichita State Shockers have a pretty sweet stadium and a half turf field.  the infield is turf but the outfield is grass.  Makes for an exciting game since more balls make it past the infielders quicker without grass to slow them down.  The cougs were ahead the whole game until the bottom of the ninth.  poor pitching on byu's part. and good hitting from the shocker's side led to a base hit to win the game.  too bad, because our starting pitcher did real well and left the game 5-2 in the 6th.  oh well. tomorrow's another day.  i hope it's warmer.

side note: byu fans could learn a thing or two from the shocker's fans.  there were so many of them.  and all loyal.  with their headphones on listening to the radio broadcast of the game while watching it in the freezing cold.  i sat by a group of older men that talked as if they follow every step of the team.  a doubleheader yesterday in 30 degree weather and a game today in 45 degrees.  that's true dedication.  but then again, i doubt there's anything better to do in this city.  from downtown, you can drive 10-15 minutes either way and you're out in the middle of nowhere...

(p.s. my neighbors were just talking about flava of love, i love new york, i love money... classic)
