Yesterday I watched the Red Sox-Yankees game with my grandmother. I haven't seriously watched baseball in a long time - my attention span finally gave out, plus I probably burned myself out on it a little. I was reading some of my old entries last night, some of them are pretty intense. While baseball had my attention, it had ALL my attention, ( Read more... )

Oh, Tigers.

I'm really glad I'm not as invested in baseball as I used to be right about now.

And speaking of ridiculous, one of those papers I'm finally getting in gear on is about the baseball teams I followed in 2005. (It's gonna be thirty pages by the time I'm done, and we're workshopping these. Everyone is going to hate me so hard. But whatever, that's what happens when my instructor basically tells me to write a shitty first draft ( Read more... )

Reasons why the distractions of RP and finals have been a blessing in the past week:

* Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer's. Terry freaking Pratchett. The great big fucking genius himself. I don't even know what to say about that. I love Pterry. Most of my books are in storage, and I fail at getting things in to the library on time, so when I'm ( Read more... )

I think that dude put together the Yankees 2008 schedule placeholderClick it while you can; I assume it's a hack job and will be gone before I have time to ( Read more... )

Grandpa, the whole time you were alive, your Red Sox won the World Series once. Just once in your almost eighty-three years.

Tonight they won their second title in four years. I wish you were here to see it. I love you.

So today I got a chance to go see a play. My Intro to Theatre class requires two reviews of professional productions, and one of the theatres downtown offers a "pay what you can" night a couple times during each run. I happened to run into a classmate who mentioned that she was going to pick up her ticket, so I jumped on the chance (because, two ( Read more... )

Ahahaha.

"I just think I'm not in the mood to make a decision right now," Piazza said. "You have to detach yourself, take a step back. It's impossible to make a decision when you're in the washing machine - you've got to get out and dry off. You never make a good decision when you're emotionally charged."Translated from Diplomatese: "OMG I HATE ( Read more... )

I spent an hour in line getting textbooks today. No, not because of messy handling or hordes of students. Because the power went out and the computers were down for forty-five minutes. It was kind of fun, actually. After all the impatient grumblers split, the rest of us hung out and made jokes. Plus, the employees handed out Tootsie Pops. ( Read more... )

A Tigers/Yankees observation:

We are in the eleventh at quarter past three in a game that STARTED at eleven.

Fuck the HECK, you guys?!

Edit: CARLOS GUILLEN WITH THE WALKOFF HOMERUN.

That was totally worth being so tired I could puke. I love you Carlos.
