Saturday Musings

listening to... “St. Louis Blues” by Peter Cincotti

“You’re not going to win every game; you’re not always going to get the right calls; you’re not always going to hit the holes,” Mulder said, summarizing the calm resignation that permeated the A’s clubhouse. “Things happen.” (After last night’s game.)

Yes, but why did it have to happen while I was there at the game? 😛


Shots of Mulder tossing on the side before the game…

As you can see, I couldn’t resist taking lots of pictures of Mulder while he was warming up before the game. We were in Section 126, row 21. If you’re in row 21, the walkway is in front of you. Very groovy seats.

Too bad the game ended with an “L.” But since I can’t remember the last time I witnessed a Mulder loss, I suppose it’s all right. 😛 Okay, not really.

And I’m getting a bit annoyed with this whole not showing games on Saturdays thing. What is up with that?

And the A's win!Kansas City 1, Oakland 6 at Network Associates Coliseum

Losing Pitcher – Brian Anderson (2-10)

KC Runs: 1, Hits: 5, Errors: 1

Oakland Record: (65-51)

Woohoo, they won today! Most lovely. 🙂


Shots from yesterday in Concord using the Hubby’s Zire72… My desk (like the picture on my computer monitor?), my shadow, the shiny building across the street from work, and the book for my class…

My class yesterday ended a bit after three. I actually learned stuff! It’s cool to have an instructor filled with stories that relate to the information. It’s much easier learning that way.

The husband and I went to Harry’s Hofbrau in San Leandro before we went to the Coliseum. I had the BBQ Special – tri-tip and chicken. YUM!


I like wearing this shirt (it’s yellow with green writing) underneath my Mulder jersey…

And love to…

I know I always say this, but it’s true, so I’ll say it again: I so appreciate the comments to the blog. 😀 You all rock!

  • Wah – I just finished The Last Mermaid today! It was an enjoyable mix of romance (sometimes quite steamy) and myth. Well written and easy to read. I liked it! And I did get some good pictures from the game last night. Maybe I’ll actually fiddle with them and put them up. But I’m lazy, so we’ll see…
  • Olivia – I must agree, Dotel can be quite annoying. I try not to watch when he’s on the mound and they only have a one or two run lead. It’s not as bad as watching Jim Mecir, but it’s close.
  • Sharon – I think Zito is indeed at .500 now. Thank goodness! Maybe he can actually have a winning season now. Dare we hope?
  • Val – I shall pass along your good wishes to my sister. 🙂 Exciting times!

And let me rant a bit…

I recently revamped my Ryan Gosling site. I changed the email address, mostly because I was getting way too much junk mail AND I think some of the young Ryan fans were confused by the “Gos” part of my GosGal addy and thought that they would somehow reach Ryan if they emailed me. As part of the revamp, I added the disclaimer that I am NOT Ryan Gosling. Surely a reasonable person would figure out that Ryan would definitely not have an email addy like NOBLELADY.

I got this email the other day:

Dear Ryan,
I know there are alot of roomers about u but there is one in perticular i would like to know the truth about.
Did u propose to Britany Spears?
First off, you see that this girl (it’s a girl) believes that sending an email to NOBLELADY is sending an email to Ryan. Second thing, the misspellings. I’m not the most perfect speller, but “roomers”? And third, the personal question. Why does she think it’s any of her business whether or not he’s proposed to anyone?

I know, it’s my own fault for having a Ryan Gosling site. And it’s actually funny to me that I get these emails. But man, sometimes it’s also ANNOYING! Bah!
