Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
After clicking around on Google's "Getting Into Google" site, and I am now convinced that I am going to totally bomb my phone interview tomorrow, and that may be good, because dear god, I'm not sure I can handle an in-person interview.
Way to set the standard too high for me, Google! Thanks a bunch!
ETA: Pessimist shrift is pessimistic. Anyway, I ought to go to bed so I can talk to Google and then go see a guy about a SysAdmin position.
I completely trust Hec's opinion on baseball matters, but Gaudin serving up a homerun to the very first batter he faced as a Cub isn't exactly inspiring.
Oops!
No, he's go a killer slider. Might take him a while to learn the NL though.
Oh well, Harden starts against the Giants on Saturday.
In other baseball news, we lost our game last night against our arch-nemesis Alameda. We lost 5-4, but we played shitty. Made at least five significant mistakes that cost us the game. Which dropped us to the losers/elimination bracket (in a double elimination tourney). But we won tonight, and now we face Alameda again tomorrow. But since they're in the winner's bracket we have to beat them twice to win the District.
Last year we also faced them in the finals, but we were in the winner's bracket. They won the first game, but we won the second (on Emmett's grand slam) and we won the District.
Also, we've been playing out in fucking Antioch. It was 105 degrees for last night's game. Today it was down to a balmy 96 when we arrived.
Emmett had a two-RBI single in the first, and caught for five out of six innings. He's caught all but two innings of the all-star tournament, which is quite a show of faith by his manager.
It would've been a little embarrasing to lose tonight since all of the other Albany teams (10 y.o.s, 12 y.o.s, and Juniors) are in the District championships, and we're defending champs from last year. And we won Tournament of Champions this year. Anyway. We're in the finals. We've got to win twice; Alameda only needs to win once.
YAY for finals, Hec. Since I don't know anyone on the Alameda team, I can happily cheer for Emmett. GO GET EM!!!!!
My baby boy is twelve today.
How did that happen?
Srsly.
How did that happen?
I think they use mirrors. There are too many Buffistae kidlets around here who are supposed to be wee bairns but are big boys and girls.
Oh, speaking of!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DILLO!!
I'm supposed to be working from home this morning, but I realize the only thing I can really do is fret until meetings start at 11. Ah well. I guess I'll run to the dry cleaner's!
Heh, happy birthday Dillo, and happy birthday to your boy, Barb.
Oh my god, Allyson.
