News of the Day
I am SO proud of Phil Hughes. So, so very proud. I knew you could do it!! I had faith in you!! All those scoreless innings!!! And, you had lots of nice offensive support, too. That's what I'm talking about. I'm hoping that "Firewater" Chamberlain will get his act together tonight and we can show the world that home grown Yankee talent is the best there is.
In other news, I got an annoying work problem out of the way nice and early. This is, of course, after I got ELBOWED IN THE FACE on my way off the train this morning. It was an accident, not on purpose, and the woman looked genuinely horrified, but still, ow. My browbone is still sore.
I'm reading the new Dresden Files book Turn Coat (a birthday gift from teany & selftoken - THANK YOUU!!!). That's been really holding my interest better than Neal "Off the Rails" Stephenson's The Diamond Age. I don't get it. Snow Crash was SO brilliant, and it just feels like he's so busy playing with his proto-steampunk tropes that he has no concept of plot pacing. And don't get me wrong, the steampunk stuff is fun, but I'm still not drawn in. J claims there's a payoff, I may try to get through it after Dresden.
HIMYM and Gossip Girl were made of win this week, too.
