always something there to remind me...
-I was going to watch that thing about The Natural but then David Wright started talking and I wanted to throw something, ANYTHING at the TV. Am I the only one who doesn't LOVE that movie? I mean, I like it alright but I'm sort of picky about baseball movies. Or, I don't know, maybe I just am not good with anything that mixes "real life" with "suspension of reality". Like Stars Wars is all in Lucas-world, and that's fine, but like, if Luke showed up on Earth or something, I would turn that shit off because I just couldn't get my mind to go that way.
-Ironic that I announced my hiatus and then about a week later my computers or DSL or both or SOMETHING decided to spontaneously implode. Today I'm supposed to have it all looked at by the son of one of my dad's coworkers, so hopefully he can fix it and it'll cost far less than having to take it to Best Buy.
Luckily I got everything I wanted onto my shiny new removeable hard drive before the computers both decided not to "recognize" the USB port. So lemme guess, the HD is fucked up too.
To quote Ron Weasley, "Why is everything I own rubbish?"
-So yeah, I know I said I'd try and be commenty on my hiatus, but anything this past Tuesday and afterwards, I probably didn't read thoroughly. My internets sort of work but I really can't stand being on for extended periods with my little email notifier popping up on my toolbar and me not being able to do a DAMN THING. :(
-My birthday present from my dad is nothing other than MLB Extra Innings. Phillies on opposing teams networks is better than no Phillies at all, obviously, and I did have luck with getting them on the opponents' feed last year on the computer so here's hoping that luck carries over to DirecTV.
If not, the BabyFish will have to suffice.
But okay, my gift? I am completely grateful beyond words but at the same time, I get not annoyed, but sort of like...I feel guilty. So guilty because I absolutely hate when my parents spend money on me. Like I hardly even go out to eat with them on Friday evenings anymore because I don't want them paying for my dinner.
And especially after this past week of them driving me and Pam everywhere, that would've been enough of a gift. I just get so sick of it all.
-Speaking of the BabyFish. Hermy is on the DL. Whyyyyyy? I think it's so. Funny in a sad way.
-I don't know, I kinda want to extend my hiatus. Not completely gone, but maybe only posting once a week, if that. I almost want to spend the first half of the baseball season in solitude, away from the "fandom", as it were and just go about it how I used to, except now I'm older and more astute to things and better at assessing players and all that jazz. Plus the basketball playoffs start soon, VERY soon and then I get all flustered anyway.
Of course, that is how I feel at the moment and maybe by tomorrow I will feel 180 degrees different. I just am so paranoid about things that have nothing to do with anything at the present moment.
Am I the only one like that? I can remember something embarrassing or odd that maybe no one else recalls but I know it's there so I feel like maybe they remember it too. And I'm afraid they think about it when I bring up something that is similar in topic.
-I have more to update on but I just don't feel like it. I am purposely not talking about the Phillies because I need Opening Day to happen first just so I can like...get all this pent-up antsyness OUT.
