WHOOPS I HAVE NOT POSTED IN A MONTH LOL
About that.
I've been screaming over the World Baseball Classic for the past week (after completely neglecting the first week because none of my teams were playing). Obviously, I'm supporting the hell out of Team USA and Team PR, both of whom are still alive (which is great, as only five teams are remaining)! Team USA plays their next game against Team DR on Thursday, and Team PR plays a win-or-go-home game on Friday (against the loser of the US/DR game). Winners of Thursday's and Friday's games advance to the final round of the tournament. At least one of my teams will make it to the final round, so even if they don't make it to the final game, I'm pretty sure I'll be heavily invested through to the end.
Spoilers, though: Japan is going to win it all. Somehow. Again. But maybe I'll do a liveblogging-in-my-Facebook-status master post, because it's been a lot of fun.
They're calling David Wright "Captain America," as he's been doing really well and has knocked in ten runs over four games. I like David Wright and all, but I don't think he's Captain America material. Captain, yes. American, yes. Captain America, not so much. but the levels of 'MURRICA! in the reddit gameday threads is hilarious and fantastic There's a "Meet David Wright!" contest that I found out about through reddit, and I really want to enter, but I'm not sure I'll have the time. Wehhhh.
As for the Rangers, they're doing okay. Marc Staal took a puck to the eye a few games back and he's out for god-knows-how-long (it feels like he just came back!). G's less than up to speed, but McD's been stepping up. I love this team. They're just barely in the top eight, though. They lost two of their last three, but they'd gone on a pretty little four-game winning streak right before that, coinciding with Rick Nash's return. See, Callahan, I'll call him Captain America, but everyone's turning around and jumping on Nash now.... IDK MAN. They play in Winnipeg on Thursday.
I have a Katsucon recap still in progress. Um. >.>; tl;dr - it was awesome.
I participated in the reddit Hats and Scarves exchange, and sent out a cute crocheted hat and knit scarf, got some Mets gear in return. Awww yeaaah.
Redid my résumé and the world still hates me.
Set up a Friendlies bowling event next month, the day after I plan on going to a Rangers/Isles game with Es, Kai, and Christine, and the week before Promstuck. WHOOPS. All that only gets a little blurb here but there's some planning! XD I wanna throw myself from a bridge.
Gonna start my spring cleaning this weekend. Looking to get rid of a lot of clothes and pack up a lot of my books and crap. Still shopping for a loft bed, but I haven't found the right one at a reasonable price. Sigh.
Dad had his knee surgery last month, and came home earlier this week. He looks great! He's still walking with a cane, and very slowly, but he's bending his knee instead of hobbling along (his hip looks a bit stiff, though). Today, he even made it all the way upstairs to shower (it rained yesterday, and the ceiling in the downstairs bathroom was leaking; it's still kind of a mess in there though David was able to patch it up today). He starts physical therapy tomorrow, which can't come soon enough because he's still cheating and hooking his good leg under his bad one to move it around. Still proud of him, though.
Mom went to a court date last week, I think, and discovered that, suddenly, Ingrid wants custody of Jaquan. As she's his mother, there's not much Mom can do, really. She looked into hiring a lawyer -- which she'd need -- and it was three grand up front. There's no way we can afford that, so... it doesn't look like anything will come out of all of this. That's kind of good -- because this isn't the best place for him -- but kind of bad -- because Ingrid isn't the best place for him, either -- and I'm just sitting here kinda....
ichiP! and Paradise*Peach and Bana Na Rama are seriously teaming up to be FURUSARA (Fruit Salad). We're planning on doing WANT!, Wakuteka Take a Chance, and Roly Poly for AnimeNEXT, along with a few shuffle songs.
I just bought A Feast of Ice and Fire so I can cook yummy things for the Game of Thrones season premiere at the end of the month~ ♪
AND HERE IS SOME SHIT: I've been told -- three times in the past nine months by three separate dudes -- that I'm pretty (summarily). ... Why is this a this a thing that's happening? And furthermore, EW, because... no. To any of them. One of them, first off, is breaking Bro Code, because I'm pretty sure he's still friends with that asshole, and I should be entirely off-limits. The others, well, at the risk of sounding incredibly shallow, they're, frankly, unattractive. But out of the left field much? Shit, man, I've been single for 4 1/2 years -- years -- and now everyone suddenly wants to gang up on me? I'm a bit overwhelmed, and very skeptical. Because, really, it's been four and a half years. That's pretty strong evidence for my not actually being pretty, so what's with these dudes?
I think that's it, so ... until next month (I hope not)!
