I love it when the A’s win. And woohoo, Chavez hit TWO homers today. Yeehaw! Oh, and the Cards won too over the Yankees. 😉

Meggie glad to be out of the cone…

While we’re home, Meggie doesn’t wear that crazy cone around her neck. So I’m sure she’s glad we decided to be lazy butts today. 😆

Saffy in a state of relaxation…

My new computer (did I mention officially that I have a new computer?) is pretty cool! Of course, getting the programs that I want on it is going to be a challenge. And the whole music thing is getting on my nerves. Thank goodness my iPod doesn’t seem to affected by the whole thing. It’s still adding stuff on as it did before. 😉

The Rich Harden bobblehead in front of the Barry Zito bobblehead…

And I got tagged by Vikkicar!

List your current six favorite songs, then pick six other people that have to do the same:

5. True – Ryan Cabrera
6. Lonely No More – Rob Thomas

If you read this, go ahead and comment with your six musical choices of the moment. 😉

And now I just have one more day alone in processing. THANK GOODNESS!!! I am so ready to not be alone in there. It’s definitely a two person gig. Ye gods!

The bluetooth in my Powerbook is working properly again. Woohoo! I can take the pictures off my phone and transfer them to my computer. I get excited over the goofiest things, eh?

One more day of work. And it’ll be a short-ish one. We need to take the doggie to the vet so that they can check her ears out. We took the cone off yesterday for the whole night and it’s off again tonight. I think Meggie appreciates the temporary freedom. But she doesn’t like taking her medicine. Poor doggie!

I changed the layout of my Textamerica site. And if you want to see my Rich Harden bobblehead in action, head out there! Anyhoo, sometimes I wonder why I have both a Textamerica and Buzznet account. I like both of them, truly. I just like how with Textamerica you can send video files. Tis totally groovay!

Then there’s baseball…

But first, life stuff. 😉

I’m looking forward to the weekend. Why?

1. It means I survived being alone in processing. It’s been a little stressful, which I never enjoy.
2. Bruce Campbell is doing a book signing and showing his movie in Sacramento on Saturday. And we’re probably going!!! 😀

Bruce was on Attack of the Show yesterday and we TiV0’d it for posterity. I think he was wearing a shirt that the hubby has. 😆 Anyhoo, I’ve adored Bruce since his Xena days and totally LOVED him as Brisco County Jr (which was airing on TNT long after it was cancelled). And yes, he rocks in the Evil Dead flicks. So this could be my chance to finally shake his hand and take a picture with him. Hail to the king, baby!

I took lots of pictures at the Livermore Chili Cookoff, but I’m too tired to share them right now. Suffice to say that my new camera ROCKS! Oh, no chili for me this year. Just a little bit of beer and a hot dog. Hmmm, sounds like my menu for tomorrow. Rich Harden Bobblehead Day here I come!

The next book on my reading list…

I spent the last part of last night taking pictures with my new camera. I wanted to see how long the battery would last (I’m definitely going to buy a spare one) and how many pictures I could take on one charge. Decent so far. We might head out to the Livermore Chili Cookoff, so I’m going to take lots of shots there. And then tomorrow is the A’s game in our luxury suite. I’m DEFINITELY taking pictures there. 😆

Since Wah wanted to see an entry of my toys and such, I thought I’d go ahead and post some.

Alas.

But first, some sample pictures…

My A’s bag

I got a new digital camera! I am such a freakin’ tech geek. The latest piece of technology is the Sony Cybershot T7, the latest in the ultra slim line. It’s almost as small as my Razr! So cool. I’m going to have fun with it this weekend. 😀

Ares, version “The Deliverer”

I’m spoiled.

Oh yes, baseball score next…

Ahhh, the middle of a holiday weekend. Glorious. 😉

I’ve started Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. (Did I get the title right?) I bought the book when it finally came out in paperback, but I’ve only just started it. I think I’ll read the other books again after I’m finished. I really enjoy reading the adventures of Mr. Potter. And really, I just enjoy reading! Sometimes I forget how much I love reading novels…

We finished up the first season of House. Brilliant show! 🙂 We’re all caught up on our television shows and now I can concentrate fully on baseball.

Bah.
