Well, Mulder didn’t have a complete game, but I think that’s the only downer of today’s game. 😉 15 to freakin’ 2. Ye gods! I ALMOST felt sorry for the Red Sox, but it quickly passed.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

We just finished watching our laser disc of the above movie. Yes, I said laser disc! I love that movie!

Mulder looks to play stopper – A look at tonight’s matchup. Man, I hope the A’s can pull it out tonight and I hope Mulder keeps steady. As he says:

“It’s May. It’s not October. This is less of a big deal to us than it is to everyone talking about it.” — on the importance of this series

Yahoo! News – “Babylon 5” Star Dies

I actually heard about this early in the week. I think from one of my mailing lists. I am so sad. I remember him on Days of Our Lives and then on Babylon 5.

It never seems right, when someone is taken suddenly like that…

Oakland 6, Boston 9 at Fenway Park

Winning Pitcher – Derek Lowe (4-4)
Losing Pitcher – Mark Redman (3-3)
SV – Keith Foulke(10)

OAK Runs: 6, Hits: 14, Errors: 2
BOS Runs: 9, Hits: 9, Errors: 0

Oakland Record: (25-20)

I found it rather heartbreaking to see Keith Foulke in a different uniform. And he pitched so well. Too bad it was against the A’s.

::sigh::

The whole Gmail thing

I think it’s crazy and funny and a little strange that people are wild for Gmail. Heck, you can even bid for an invite on eBay! Or, if you’d rather, you can trade something for it. I’ve actually been reading a lot about it lately, then on tonight’s The Screen Savers, one of the call-in questions was about getting a Gmail account.

Can I just say that I’m glad I got mine already? All because I blog with Blogger. 😉 (Of course, I couldn’t get my first choice because of the 6 or more letters in the username rule. Bah!) Of course, I wouldn’t mind having another. LOL!

And hey, one of these days I will figure out which Gmail addy I will use with this weblog. 😉

Oakland 2, Boston 12 at Fenway Park

Winning Pitcher – Curt Schilling (6-3)
Losing Pitcher – Tim Hudson (5-2)

OAK Runs: 2, Hits: 10, Errors: 0
BOS Runs: 12, Hits: 19, Errors: 0

Oakland Record: (25-19)

Right, it’s just one game. But crap! I so don’t like when my boys lose…

Cold calls from mortgage/lenders/etc.

These people SUCK ASS! Yes, I said suck ass. How many times do I have to say to these stupid, non-listening people– “WE’RE NOT INTERESTED?!” Apparently, I have to say it every time I answer the phone. Get a clue! Don’t call me! Pretty soon I’m just going to answer then hang up. Would that be totally rude? Grrrr!

American Idol is on

But we’re not watching it. It’s just not worth it anymore. Will I buy a CD made by either of those girls? Hmmm, I dunno. I might buy one by LaToya. But a CD by Fantasia or Diana has to kick some serious butt for me to buy it. But hey, good luck to the two of them…

Just before I woke up, I dreamt that I had walked to San Leandro (is that right?) and I decided to go to 7 o’clock mass. Morning mass at Saint Felicitas! I passed the crowd that had just come out and walked through the main entrance. In the center was donated furniture that looked like it had come from my aunt’s house. Blue sofas. I stopped at the right side entrance (this was where I always entered back in the day) and Toby Keith stopped behind me. I guess we were going to church together. (Can I just say WEIRD?!) Instead of pews, there were long tables set up everywhere, with fold up chairs surrounded each table. Like in a reception hall. We sat down, but then it was time for the tables to go and for the chairs to line up in rows. We decided to sit in the third row from the back.

And that was the dream.

Okay, time to do some laundry and the like…

*** Wah – I wasn’t sure I would like the fried milk, but it was so good! It tasted like something I’ve had before. If I could just figure out what it is…

*** Luz – Yes, my A’s swept the Royals. Most glorious. LOL! And of course I must agree with you on Mulder. 😀

Time to go job hunting…

I’ve enjoyed my time off so far, but the time is drawing near for me to look for some kind of employment. I’ve started with the online stuff. It’s amazing all the stuff you can find online. Of course, we shall see how successful I am in finding something close to home. I really don’t want to travel more than 30 minutes to work. Unless I get to work with the A’s or something.

Yeah right! 😉

The writing…

I worked a little bit on my story today. It’s a scene during an unspecified moment in the story. In other words, I have no idea WHEN it actually takes place, though I’ve figured it’s sometime in the beginning. 😛
