I like to listen to a song by the Weakerthans (thanks Sue) called One Great City. It has a line in it that I modify to, I. Hate. Everything.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They are so concentrated on moving the team and putting money into that effort that no money goes onto the field. Yes, I'm bitter.
They came out of nowhere and outbid all of baseball to nab Yoenis just last year, Suzi. And they bid pretty high on Aroldis Chapman too. I think the A's were burned by Chavez's contract and also believe that (a) they can't attract power hitters to the Coli (which will depress their numbers) and (b) investing in the downside of some guy's career is a mug's game. They've got a good core and their last draft was their best in a decade with a real influx of talent. Despite their lackluster start I think they're in better shape this year than the Rangers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday, Tom!
Mucho job~ma to msbelle.
My event went well last night! Speaker was funny, we ended things at just under 2 hours, many of my former students were there, and three of them won prizes! Including one I'm so happy for: he won first prize in fiction, and he had just lost his father. And his best friend won 2nd place as it so happens.

Kudos!
(I just like typing that. Though for Teppy I'd say: "Kodos!")
Happy day, Tom. Treat yourself nice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Scola, I wish you well every day, but make it extra good today, eh?
I think work is giving me indigestion. Either that or my crap diet. Focus. I need focus.
Why am I here?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Though for Teppy I'd say: "Kodos!"
But Kodos is proven to be the opposite of kudos!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday Tom! I hope something as nice as a Scola Smile happens to you today.
Count me in among the exhausted. I figured out too late last night that I should have taken an Ambien, so sleep was rather non-existent.
I actually made a Google calender appointment for tonight to take one. I hope that works.
