I always love it when Mulder wins. It’s a good thing. 😉 The game didn’t look too good in the beginning/middle, but the A’s broke out to win the game. Thank goodness it was while Mulder was still in the game…
Oakland 4, Cleveland 5 at Jacobs Field

Losing Pitcher – Octavio Dotel (1-5)
OAK Runs: 4, Hits: 9, Errors: 2

The good news: Eric Chavez ROCKED! He had two hits and made a fantastic play. Kirk Saarloos pitched a great game, allowing two hits and just one run in six and two thirds innings. He left the game with a lead.
The bad news: The bullpen choked. Again. Dotel crumbled this time. It was horrible to watch. Grrrr!!!
Chavez makes a diving stop…
“Beautiful You” by Rick Springfield
Last night we saw the last showing of The Chronicles of Riddick. And it was actually the LAST show because it’s not playing out here in our area today. Alas!
When we walked into the auditorium, we were the only ones there. Cool, right? We headed up to the topmost row, figuring that if anyone did show up, at least we wouldn’t have to worry about weird people sitting behind us kicking our chairs. The husband went to get some food and drinks and while he was gone a trio of women walked in. Where they there because it was a Vin Diesel movie? I really couldn’t say. They didn’t look like sci-fi fanchicks, so I thought it was interesting. When I came back from my ladies room trip, five more people had wandered into the auditorium. And more people came in before the lights dimmed for the commercials and trailers.
Before the trailers started, I told my husband, “I hope they show the trailer for ‘The Bourne Supremacy.'” I thought it would be funny to see the trailer of Karl Urban movie while we were there for a Karl Urban movie. We saw five trailers before the one for The Bourne Supremacy came up. It ended up being the last trailer. LOL! I wonder if anyone recognized Karl when he came on screen for The Chronicles of Riddick.
The movie was a decent one hour and forty-nine minutes of my life. Lots of cool effects and fast paced action. The plot was a little weak. It was as if we were treated to the fringes of a great story. Maybe I’m being picky. I dunno. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the movie, especially since we got a very decent amount of Karl as Vaako action. 🙂 And I did my fangirl duties.
I hope that the DVD edition has more stuff in it. I’d seen the previews for Riddick and I know for sure that at least one scene was cut. And it was a Karl scene!

We had lunch at Claim Jumper’s. I had the produce bar. Yum! And then for dinner we had Tony Roma’s. Yum yum!
My website isn’t working. Again. I’m getting tired of it going down all the time! Blah!

Horrible! We listened to some of the game while we were driving home and it was so disheartening. Blah!
Don’t use Yahoo’s RSS feature to sitefeed this blog. For some reason, if you sitefeed Moonlit Jazz, you’ll instead be treated to a weblog belonging to someone named Brad DeLong. I have no idea who he is, but he posts political stuff. It’s annoying that Yahoo can’t get it right. Did they get hacked? Why is it only my weblog that isn’t feeding right? 🙁
I’d send out some love, but I’m sleepy now. Later all!
I actually woke up to an alarm so that we could go to the first show of The Notebook. Yah for me! LOL!
What can I say about this movie? Another fine performance by Ryan Gosling. It was really very nice and easy watching him in a more “mainstream” role. And Rachel McAdams just shone. The movie was definitely a chick flick. The husband thought it was “cornball,” but I enjoyed it. Perhaps it’s because I’ve read the novel, so I knew the pace of the story. The frame story made me sad, but it was touching. 🙂
I can see why I’m getting so many Ryan emails these days…
