Zombies!

Baseball is a game dominated by vital ghosts; it's a fraternity, like no other we have of the active and the no longer so, the living and the dead.   - Richard Gilman

Since my last entry the Mariners have played five games.  We won only one of those games 5-3 against the Twins.  Then we were swept away by the Rangers. 

Meanwhile...

Friday and Saturday I appeared as an extra in the shooting of my band friends' music video.  I would classify the theme as 'the psychobilly undead.'  I was actually scoring the first inning of the game on Saturday when I received a text to join the zombie video shoot day two.  And so - scorecard interrupted, but plenty of zombie fun.  We all wore clothes with a retro vibe and had our zombie makeup professionally done.  There were circus performers, dancers, and a hearse.  There were alot of takes of the same scene and waiting for cameras, lighting, and rearranging sets- but it was fun.  My favorite time-killer was reinventing pickup lines zombie style. 

Before going home I, of course, had to stop by my friend's get-together to make a gruesome appearance.  Before taking off my zombie makeup at home I took an awesome picture.  I was planning on posting it here.  The past days have been spent in pursuit of my camera usb cable.  Purchasing a new one would be too expensive for me.  I will vigilantly search so that you too may witness the awesomeness of zombie makeup.  I also will no longer wait to find the usb cable before I mlblog.  While it would be more inspiring to mlblog using my own pictures- I'd rather mlblog than not mlblog at all.  Plus, what if (gasp, knock on wood) I never find it?  Sigh.

Here's to hoping for the best this weekend.  Back home at Safeco we'll play the Red Sox at their only trip to Seattle this season.  Tomorrow I'll have to watch FSN, but Saturday and Sunday we're going to the game!  With some luck I'll be able to post pictures soon!

Go Mariners!

xoxo

Your Safeco Sweetheart,

Ms. Mariner Monroe
