Hello, people. Why can't we manufacture runs against the hopeless A's?? It is very irritating.
Yes, I am still at work, doing idiot makework (the kind they make you actually do), listening to the game on the radio.
I like the ruffles.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Well, it's only fair. The Sox scored a buncha runs yesterday. I was surprised to see the A's actually get a man home from third with less than two outs.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Oh, how I do NOT miss working in an office.

Hush, you. Even not counting the NINE unearned runs, we still scored 4 last night. Also, I cannot take the idea of losing to somebody with a name as silly as Saarloos. (Technically, Huston Street is the WP right now, but Saarloos started the game.)
It could be worse. The A's have a new pitcher named Harikkala. That is like tattooing to your forehead, "HELLO! I am a Finn!" Which is just so cute.
With apologies to all Finns reading along. I just find you cutely named.

The sad thing is...this is how I heat it
Heehee. I save those 10 seconds by doing no other jewelry but earrings. Well, more than 10 seconds because me and jewelry claps involve 10 minutes and swearing and then I'm indecisive to start with. Or maybe not varying between one of two pairs of shoes.
Boo on still working, msbelle.
Laughing at TAR. Also, there was an interview with Gretchen and Meredith (they are an Eastern Shore couple) in the paper last week. G was snarking about what she was allowed to keep in the nonelimination shakedown: tampons. Which she had no use for.

No underoos. Very little makeup (I used to wear it all the time, but I mostly wore eye makeup, and the eyes don't like it anymore. I often wear lipstick. My skin has never liked base, so there's none of that.)
But I got great late birthday presents! Each year, I get together with two friends (sometimes more, but always these two) for each of our birthdays. One was in Europe for my birthday, so we had to celebrate late. We had a wonderful evening: First, for we attended a Machetanz exhibit for First Friday at the Alaska State Museum. Just fantastic. Then, an opening at the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council. My favorite pieces were all already sold, which was great because 1) I consider it a testament to my good taste, and 1) it removed temptation for buying artwork that I can in no way afford. Finally, dinner and presents! I got these beautiful blue sparkly chandelier earrings, a pedicure kit (that I had been drooling over, but hadn't told anyone about) and the funniest little book filled with weird line drawings and funny sayings/very short stories.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Hello, people. Why can't we manufacture runs against the hopeless A's?? It is very irritating.
What I want to know is why I can't bring myself to turn off our game, even though we're down 5, because if the other team could score 5 runs in one inning, so could we! In theory.
So I'm now in my second season of watching the team every day no matter how bad it is, because someday they'll stop sucking, and I want to be there to see it. I guess that means I'm a lifer, huh?
(And yeah, I know. Cubs, White Sox, Red Sox until last year, who is an M's fan to whine?)

I'm not sure it gets worse than Huston Street.

My gawd Mister Kitty is being cute. With his sneer fixed, he is sitting staring at me with big eyes, letting out querying little mows. And he's got his chin trembling. So fucking cute.
He just wants to be carried like a baby and it is too warm for that.

TAR: So Jamaica has a Rio Grande too? Boy, my sleepy little mud stream gets around. (Yes, I know it is a generic name so probably gets used a lot. I just don't think of rivers when it comes to islands.)
