Surreal

The Major League Baseball game in Baltimore today was surreal.

It feels almost like a scene out of an apocalyptic movie (except that the stadium was in excellent condition).

Update: Here are some images from the game.

Playing in an Empty Stadium

Tomorrow's game between the Orioles and the White Sox, which is occurring in Baltimore, will be closed to the public. That is going to be eerie.

Update: Here is the ESPN.com article about the game.

On This Day in 1355...

On this day in 1355, Oxford experienced one of the most violent riots in its history.

History hasn't recorded this, but I assume that this was in reality just an early celebration of my birthday, which occurred exactly 621 years later. (Not that this is an egocentric perspective or anything...) Nostradamus, eat your heart out!

And you thought that 10 Feb was meant to be a day of tranquility... That shows what you know!
