greywash and I went to a hockey game last night, which was the first organized sporting event I have ever attended in my entire life! Our team didn't win, but they scored twice and everyone in the stadium was so psyched!! That was great. Honestly the whole thing was very fast-paced and exciting; excellent fun, hope to do again.
These two exchanges also happened:
I
breathedout, to bartender: Can I get a gin and tonic?
bartender, fixing drink: You kinda look like Tina Fey.
breathedout: Oh! ... Thank you.
bartender: Maybe it's just the glasses. You know, she did that Sarah Palin thing.
breathedout: .......... are you saying I look like Sarah Palin??
bartender: Like... Tina Fey is hotter than Sarah Palin.
breathedout, feeling suddenly in need of a shower: In so, so,
so many ways...

(Walking back from the stadium, talking about baseball, of which neither of us have any but the remotest knowledge):
greywash: So the Dodgers are out of LA now, but back in the day—
breathedout: They were the Brooklyn Dodgers.
greywash: They were!
breathedout: They played in Ebbets Field.
greywash: They did!
breathedout: I know that from a Tom Waits song, so. On-brand, I guess.
greywash: I know it from
Captain America fanfic, so. Also on-brand.
