Good morning!

listening to... “The Reason” by Hoobastank

A quiz! I saw this at a friend’s LJ and I thought, why not? LOL!

You Are a Feminine Beauty!
You make any guy feel like a man, simply by standing next to him
You have a classic womanly appeal – and you’ve got a look for every occasion
This doesn’t mean that you can’t kick back in (designer) jeans and sneakers
You just prefer to be girly and sweet as often as possible

What Type of Beauty Are You? Take This Quiz 🙂

Such a grand thing, a win…

And the A's win! Pittsburgh 3, Oakland 13 at Network Associates Coliseum

Winning Pitcher – Mark Mulder (8-2)
Losing Pitcher – Kip Wells (3-5)

PIT Runs: 3, Hits: 4, Errors: 1
OAK Runs: 13, Hits: 18, Errors: 0

Oakland Record: (37-24)

Woohoo, another win! Another sweep! Another grand slam by the A’s, this time from Adam Melhuse! And another win for Mulder. Ahhh, life is good. 😉

My boys are on tv today! :D

One of the things I don’t like about living out here in the Central Valley is that we don’t get all the A’s games that are televised in the Bay Area. If a game is showing on KICU 36, I must hope that UPN 31 here is also carrying the game. If they are not, then I don’t get to watch the game, even though it will appear on the Ticket. Apparently we are part of the area that can be blacked out. It sucks! It’s not right. Can someone explain to me why this is?

But today is not one of those days. UPN 31 is actually televising the game! 😛

The Screen Savers – my pictures and commentary are now up! 😀 My favorite pictures are the ones I’ve already posted here, but you can see them bigger on the page I’ve made. So go look, especially if you’re a TechTV/The Screen Savers fan. 😀

Zito’s answer to my question – I made a recording of Barry Zito answering my question on the Ronn Owens show on KGO radio. Mr. Ronn Owens jumbled my question just a bit, but it’ll have to do. I should have just called and asked him on the phone.

My actual message for Zito was the following:

What was it like working with William Gregory Lee on the set of JAG? It was great seeing my two fandoms converge (I’m a Greg fan and a HUGE A’s fan). Hope all is way groovy with you! (Say hi to Mulder!)

I didn’t really expect Ronn to add the Mulder part and he didn’t. Oh well! 😛

We’re spending another lazy day at home. We stayed home all day yesterday. It was so nice. I spent a lot of the day on the computer. Does anyone else find iTunes is very addicting? It’s just too easy to buy a song here and a song there. Suddenly, you’ve already spent twenty dollars in one week! I’m trying not to spend too much. I have to think of it as buying singles, which I used to do when I was younger. 😛

Hey, I just realized that Mulder is pitching today. Sweet! I get to see him on tv after seeing him live on Monday. Why does that game seem so long ago?

Woohoo, another win!

And the A's win! Pittsburgh 11, Oakland 12 at Network Associates Coliseum

Winning Pitcher – Arthur Rhodes (3-3)
Losing Pitcher – Mark Corey (0-1)

PIT Runs: 11, Hits: 16, Errors: 2
OAK Runs: 12, Hits: 18, Errors: 0

Oakland Record: (36-24)

So, what can I say? Groovy! It’s nice to see the fellas working the nice streak. 😉

The A’s love the NL Central

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

Winning Pitcher – Tim Hudson (7-2)
Losing Pitcher – Kris Benson (4-6)

PIT Runs: 1, Hits: 7, Errors: 0
OAK Runs: 6, Hits: 7, Errors: 0

Oakland Record: (35-24)

Yippee for Hudson! 😀

We saw The Day After Tomorrow. Not too bad of a movie. I wanted to see Shrek 2, but must wait until next time. 😉

I’m working on my pictures from yesterday. I’ll probably have them up soon…

The Screen Savers taping was GREAT!!!

listening to... Barry Zito’s interview on the Ronn Owens show from Wednesday…

I didn’t actually get to talk to Barry Zito. (Don’t I wish!) I sent an email to the radio dude and he read my question on the air and Barry answered my question. Woohoo! 😀 I’m going to try and do a transcript of my question…

I didn’t blog from BART, but I could have! LOL! I’ll write a more detailed report, but here are some highlights:

*** We saw Stephanie from Fresh Gear come out while we were all waiting outside. She had locked her keys in her car. LOL! The tow truck had pulled up and she came out and the tow truck dude got her door opened. 😉

*** Heidi the intern took us to the conference room, then gave us a little tour of one of the studios. It was the one where they do Fresh Gear and where they also did Call for Help. I was a little sad seeing the Call for Help set. Awww…

*** The show was fun! We were a full audience and we rocked! 😉 It all went by so fast. Before it started, I think I saw Kevin point at me because of the shirt. Yah! During a couple of the commercial breaks, Kevin threw a football with a couple of the other guys. Patrick had to powder himself. Sarah is LITTLE! She seemed to move around the most to different parts of the studio.

*** After the show, Patrick came over to us and shook everyone’s hand. He shook my hand, then saw my shirt and said, “Kevin’s going to like that.” LOL! I took a picture with Patrick, of course.


This one turned out nice!

*** I had to say something to Kevin. I asked to take a picture with him and he was very sweet. He thanked me for buying his shirt (I told him it belonged to the husband). He called Dan over to take a picture with us (as he is part of thebroken as well)… Kevin and I chatted a little. He asked where we were from. I told him that I was sad they were leaving the Bay Area. He said he was sad too because they liked it there. They don’t know who’s going to co-host with Kevin for TSS when they move. I think we touched on Leo. He said that most everyone was moving down to LA for the show. What else? He’s a very nice guy. Awww…


Yeah, on the set of The Screen Savers…

It was great fun. And BART wasn’t so bad. 😛 I’m glad we got to go and I’m glad I wore the shirt. 😀

We watched The Screen Savers when we got home and we could pick ourselves out during the very fast sweeps through the audience.

I should have taken a picture of the floor director. Oh well! 😉

Up early for an afternoon in San Francisco

I’m in Concord again this morning. Today the the taping of The Screen Savers in San Francisco. How exciting! Well, for the tech geek girl in me, anyway. 😉

I’m wearing black t-shirt that proudly proclaims “thebroken” on the front of it. Maybe Kevin or Dan will see it and be impressed. LOL! Think it could get me some play on tv? Yeah, we’ll see. I hope we get a chance to say howdy to all of them. And I would LOVE to take a picture with Patrick, Kevin, or Sarah. Heck, even Dan!

The TiVo is set to record today’s show. This will be the first time I sit in a studio audience. How many people will be there? I hope I don’t clap too loud. I have to remember that it’s not a baseball game. 😀

Speaking of baseball

First-place A’s steamroll Cincy – Mychael Urban is always a good read…

I can’t believe the A’s scored 40 runs for the whole series with the Reds. Crazy! Damian Miller’s grand slam was super sweet! I loved it! And I really enjoyed listening to Eric Chavez talk with the broadcast guys. He has a great voice. Doesn’t say too much though. 😉 He’s supposed to have the big X-ray today. I hope it goes well for him!

And that’s all for now. Next time I blog, I’ll either be on BART (I can send an email with my Blackberry) or I’ll be at home. Until then!
