Wow, my stomach was in knots over those games and none of them were MY team. At the moment it looks like the A's will be the last game to finish tonight, not that it matters a lick.
Maybe I've always been here.

Are there books more depressing than The Road ? Like, ever?
The Road is actually on the uplifting side for a Cormac McCarthy novel.

Matters to Gio who's never pitched a shut-out, but came within one out before.
Holy shit. I cannot believe the Braves and Red Sox both lost in such excruciating fashion and Tampa Bay came back from 7-0 in the 8th to win it. Two fucking homers by Evan Longoria! Stud!

Oh what the fuck? They won't let Gio take the 9th? You dipshits he's got all off-season to rest up. Let him finish the game.
Pfah.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I've been stewing over this, and it shouldn't bother me this much, so I thought I'd ask for other opinions.
Below is a G+ thread started by my cousin's husband, who graduated college not long ago, is working on his Master's degree, and just this semester started teaching civics at a local private high school.
Mike - What a day from hell.
Wayne - You have no idea! Well, maybe you do...
Mike - Well, it definitely could have been worse, but Dante did say there are levels of hell...this was an upper hell sort of day, closer to the surface. But still: people, them's bitches, man.
David - "L'enfer, c'est les autres."
Mike - @David- Bless you?
I thought I was being sympathetic, clever, and funny. Was I wrong?
From his response, I fear that he a) didn't recognize the quote, and b) didn't even think to look it up.
::sigh::

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ah, I didn't recognize it in French, but then I Googled it. Perhaps English would have been better received.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I found The Road to be so bleak I could barely stand it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Kat, I'm sorry you've been having such an awful time lately. I am sending you love and cupcakes. It will need to be virtual love and cupcakes for the moment, but as soon as we can set a plan, it'll be the real deal. Plus clothes for Noah.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I don't think I'm in any kind of good headspace to read The Road.
I do think, however, that it's about damn time I started reading Skulduggery Pleasant.
Also, wow... a month ago, I never would have imagined the Cardinals would have made it this far. Still kind of in disbelief.

I know I stayed up to watch all the games. But I'm still awake. Relationship drama is in the house and I'm trying to be supportive while trying to stay out of it. Hopefully everyone is ready for some shut eye and they can resolve everything during the day time.
