I'm baaaaaack!
I've arrived back at my other residence, The Other Place Where I Live, and I come bearing news - the ALCS and NLCS are both set! Our matchups are the Diamondbacks vs. the Rockies, a Western Division showdown, and the Indians vs. the Red Sox.
Yeah, in case you haven't heard, the Yankees lost. Yay.
The NLCS officially kicks off on Thursday, whilst the ALCS starts on Friday. This means I will have to spend Tuesday and Wednesday without any baseball. I can only imagine that I'll be watching the last six episodes of Princess Nine this week. Well, I'll be watching that and rewatching this, which is the raw video of the clinching party the Sox had in Anaheim the other day. A few high points:
~ The way Jacoby starts laughing when he gets nailed with the champagne the second time. It made me all queasy the first time I heard it and still does every time I think about it.
~ Jacoby going after Pedroia is amusing, too, simply because I adore both of them and it's funny.
~ This one's not in the video, but rather in an article I read: Manny Delcarmen decides that it would be a good idea to pour some of his champagne down Papelbon's trousers. I'm not sure why, but I agree with him on this one.
~ The best bit, though, is clearly Julian Tavarez trying to speak Japanese. He grabs Matsuzaka and yells, "Tomodachi!" (which means 'friend'), then starts to attempt to converse with him. Matsuzaka looks at him funny and says, "What?" in English.
~ Oh, and Papelbon starts dancing again. Yay.
So, all in all, it's been a pretty good day. Actually, it's been a pretty good weekend, especially since I managed to convert
hanachan01 over to the Nation. All it took was a little video footage of Papelbon (namely, the four videos on this blog post) and she was sold. She loves him. Then again, though, how can you not? I got to see my friends this weekend (the aforementioned Hana and
mydarkloard), which was awesome, and it was wonderful to spend time with my family (and my pets!).
I suppose the only other thing worth mentioning is a project I'm planning that will parody the entire series of Secrets LJ communities, like
fandomsecrets. I'm going to be doing this using the cast of Londinium, though, and you'll know who each one corresponds with because I'll be illustrating them. All I can say is that I'm having too much fun with them so far, especially the Thatcher one because it's totally a stretch. Eh, all that matters is that I'm keeping myself amused whilst there's no baseball for two days.
...what am I going to do during the off-season on days when there aren't any Premiership games?
EDIT: As of today, I have tagged 44 entries with 'Dustin Pedroia.' Nothing is tagged more. I'm so gone on this one it's not even funny.
