Holy shit, I can't believe this baseball game.
Tampa's going to take its top prospect, #1 draft pick, stud rookie pitcher David Price and basically he's got to get an out and they'll go on to the World Series or it'll be over.
Well, actually he's got a little wiggle room and there's one more inning, but baseball doesn't work like that. It builds to a dramatic moment and that moment is here and they threw their youngest into the lion's den.
He'll be throwing 95 at J.D. Drew and we'll see what happens.
Oof! And he got him. Blew him away with 97mph.
Way to go, Meat. Now go wash your flip flops before they get moldy.
Rays win 3-1. Price closes it out. (And utterly exposes Varitek, who can't hit anymore, despite his one key home run.)
World Series is the TV exec nightmare: Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays.
Very gutty comeback by the Red Sox, though.
Heh. I'm reading a Tampa Bay Rays board and their nickname for David Price is Velociraptor Jesus.
Thanks for the birthday wishes everybody, and I hope I'm not too late to send a happy birthday to Calli. It's been a busy weekend. Mostly housework, but there was also b-day sushi and reading of many fairytales with sweet kids snuggling me.
For me and cities, New York is Annie Hall mostly, but there's a subterranean layer of Sesame Street too. London is Sherlock Holmes, My Fair Lady, and a gazillion other books and plays from childhood, but first and foremost it's Sherlock Holmes. Paris is old photos of Notre Dame, only later in college did it become the Left Bank to me. Berlin is Cabaret.

Oh yeah!

Definitely. Upper West Side or Morningside Heights. (Actually, my dad's cousin claims that it was the specific block that she and my dad grew up on, but I've never seen anything to back that one up. But it's clearly that neighborhood.)
I'm trying to think of other movie associations I have for different cities. I can't really think of too many. Oh! Newport is High Society. And San Francisco is largely Pal Joey.
Australia- Crocodile Dundee (sorry, billytea!)
As well you should be. That's not a first impression of Australia,

Check out the "model" Fenway.
I don't know why it's cooler to make something real look fake, except it's a particular kind of fake.
