The only good baseball thing that happened to me today was Dustin almost hitting for the cycle.

No, scratch that - something good and baseball-related happened earlier. I managed to get my Nishiura hat embroidered! Of course - and this could really only happen to me - I was laughing the entire time as the lady at the kiosk did it because her ( Read more... )

Today I saw a cake explode. No, really. A certain individual actually has video of the making and eventual destruction of this cake and will post them eventually.

I also saw that the Mets both won and ended up with Trot Nixon today. I never thought I'd see Trot play somewhere I could see him again in a thousand years! The Sox unfortunately lost, ( Read more... )

Well, I had an interesting adventure in the heat today. I drove around to various places that do embroidery to inquire as to whether they could stitch over the drawn letters on my Nishiura jersey (I'm upgrading my Mihashi cosplay gear) and sew the 'UN' on my new hat, which actually fits over the wig this time. Unfortunately, everybody decided to ( Read more... )

Okay, first things first - let's issue some Pac-10 propers here:

Congratulations to Arizona State on its first ever Women's College World Series Championship! Somewhere in Boston, I'm sure Dustin Pedroia is utterly thrilled.

That aside, Justin had a lovely night, from what I've seen - he got it done well enough for the Sox to win, and the offense ( Read more... )

Wow, I've been busy! Let me just sum up my Saturday and Sunday really quickly, and then we'll talk about what wondrous thing arrived in the mail today.

Saturday was very nice, actually - we went to a sushi bar for Mihashi's birthday. First, though, we made a stop at Kinokuniya, which is a Japanese bookstore. I somehow managed to stay under budget ( Read more... )

Gosh, I just can't seem to help missing games lately! It's been driving me up the wall - I actually get stressed out when I don't know the score! The boys apparently lost a heartbreaker tonight, too...eh, one more and they'll have Thursday off, which means that if I don't have anything on the agenda I might live-blog the PawSox game or something.

I missed the tail end of a loss in order to indulge in fandom tonight - I caught the Speed Racer movie. That show was my first anime - my gateway drug, if you will - and the movie was just like the show. I adored it. It brought back my fourth grade year in a flash! Just a warning - don't see the film if you suffer from epilepsy. It was designed to ( Read more... )

Clay looked downright beautiful.

I don't say that too frequently about a pitcher, but I often find that when I do it's Clay's stuff that I am referring to. On a good night, like tonight, he can be downright overwhelming and dominating. The problem is that a good night can only be a great night if the offense helps out, and tonight that wasn't the ( Read more... )

Why am I awake? There is baseball about to happen. Regrettably, there is no audio for this one, so I got up at six to...watch Gameday. Wow. On that note, let's make this a live-blog! I can't live-blog live-action games, because I tend to get sidetracked and type too much, but Gameday goes slowly enough for me that I can keep up.

Two brief random ( Read more... )
