Just a quick post before dinner - I will get back to comments later, since Yahoo! is not being kind enough to let me check my e-mail at the moment. Sorry - I'm not trying to blow anyone off!

Found some footage on NPB Tracker (where I was reading up about Tazawa and trying to get a better look at his stuff) of Tsuyoshi Shinjo, one of my first ( Read more... )

College, it turns out, has been even busier than summer was this year.

At least I've always had something to do, but somehow I don't think I'll be doing much gamethreading now that I'm back, either, which I apologize about - I thought having a more regular schedule would help, but in this case my schedule's just been odd. Not that it hasn't been ( Read more... )

HOLY CRAP I HAVE JED LOWRIE'S SIGNATURE.

To make a long story short,

I really just have to get this out...

Congratulations to Fresno State, 2008 CWS Champions!

I'm so, so proud. So proud. And so thrilled. (As an extra bonus, this means that I get to make Slumberwood win, so expect something ridiculously hyper from Sheridan and Co. later tonight! I almost wonder if this is because I managed to get both Fight! Kikkoman ( Read more... )

Yeah, Fresno State, if you'd love to keep writing the plot for Slumberwood for me, that'd be great.

When I originally mapped out Slumberwood's plot, I imagined that they'd reach the CWS (after winning their school's conference for the first time in half a century), battle their way to the finals (I am even contemplating sending them through the ( Read more... )

The title of this entry is, of course, public knowledge. I adore middle infielders, and I really can't explain why. Only last night did I realize how far this extends - when it comes to both real baseball and fictional baseball, I'm just drawn to them like a moth to a flame. So here's a little list of many of my favorite ballplayers just to prove ( Read more... )

Today an EMT thought I was dying.

I wasn't, actually. I've reenacted many times before, and I wasn't even wearing the corset today - I was perfectly fine. Yes, I was sweating, and therefore I had to wipe my forehead a lot. And the reason I may have seemed a bit dizzy? I didn't have a real lunch. I drank plenty of water and made sure to limit my ( Read more... )

I really didn't do too much sitting down today.

I was on cooking duty for most of the afternoon, and whilst I got to see Wake's knuckler in action (it looked fantastic today!) I was helping put together some cookies for my friend (I conveniently had the advice of this kid on how to do things), so I was running around the kitchen the whole time. ( Read more... )

Okay, I submitted my job application today...I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because I really want this one! I'd be working at the store where my mom buys a lot of her teaching supplies. The hours for the store aren't too bad: on Mondays and Fridays, it's open from 9-8, and on Saturdays it's open from 9-7. On Saturdays I might even get to do arts ( Read more... )

Took an off-day from catching up with people today to get some work done for both my family and myself. I have to admit, I really enjoy feeling productive - getting work done is one of the most satisfying feelings in the world to me. I ran a bunch of errands, one of which was buying more ridiculously expensive gas, and then came home and watched a ( Read more... )
