Today is opening day for the New York Yankees, which, for my baseball-loving boyfriend is more exciting than Christmas (especially since he's Jewish). I'm not opposed to the sport — or the team — and may even tag along to a couple of games with him this season (oh please let them be fast ones!), but there are certainly a few other things I'd rather do with my time than watch a bunch of over-paid guys in tights and jockstraps play tag with each other for four hours straight. After the jump, ten things I'd rather do than sit through an entire 9-inning baseball game:
- Trim my cuticles
- Make small talk at a dinner party for half an hour with one of my boyfriend's former girlfriends
- Sit in gridlock, rush hour traffic for 20 minutes
- Watch a Jennifer Aniston movie (at least they're short)
- Get stuck in a subway sitting next to a man with bad BO. (I can always switch cars at the next stop!)
- Try on bathing suits
- Read Julia Allison's dumb dating column in Time Out New York
- Stand in line at the DMV for a new drivers license
- Pick up dry cleaning
- Do my taxes (at least I have an excuse to get cute file folders like these to help organize!)
