Saturday Afternoon

today in baseball A’s 11, Giants 10
Twas a wild one! It wouldn’t have gone to extra innings if Arthur Rhodes had done his job and closed out the game. Grrrr! But hey, go Jermaine Dye! 😉 And how do you pronounce Scutaro?

::celeste::, Hellboy was a better movie than The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which pains me to say about a Sean Connery flick. I’d probably watch a sequel to Hellboy first before a sequel to The League. Alas!

Afternoon Musings

I actually did some rose pruning this morning. I put on a turtleneck and overalls and I ventured out to the backyard. Oh, and I had my hat on. I probably looked like a total dork, but I cleaned up my roses a bit. They look better. Hopefully they grow better. 😛

listening to... “All or Nothing” by Diana Krall
today in baseball A’s trio ready for ’04 – A nice article about The Big Three. 😉

Happy freakin’ Friday!

today in baseball A’s 4, Giants 0 – It’s always nice when my boys win. 😉 But poor Byrnesy! Ye gods, hit in the helmet?!

MOVIE TIME

We saw Hellboy today! We were debating between that, The Prince and Me, Jersey Girl, and something else, but we decided on Hellboy. I enjoyed it! I thought it was well done. Action, humor, romance. All the good stuff. 😉

BOOKS

I didn’t read my book for March. I suck! But I picked up a romance book of two stories and just finished it up. “The Bachelor’s Bed” by Jill Shalvis and “Accidental Wife” by Day Leclaire. Both decent stories. Of course, it just made me want to write my own. It could happen. Oh yes, it could happen…

Work dreams?

<== I love these smilies! LOL! Anyhoo, I had a dream about SRJ. My friends have been emailing me some gossip and I dreamt about it! I had emailed them back right before bed, so I guess that’s why it was in my head. (Hey, that kinda rhymes.) Twas a weird dream. I wasn’t working there anymore, but I was in the office. Strange! A big HOWDY! to Josh, who tagged here. I miss ya! 😀

Alas, no Friday Five today. 🙁 It’s been so long since I’ve done one!

Spring Training 2004 Notes

Mulder anxious for season – Hey, it’s a Mulder article. Gotta give some Mulder love. 😉

Mmmm, garlic fries!

A’s 7, Royals 8 – Oh well, not a good outing for Mr. Mulder. Blah!

Val, why did you have to mention garlic fries. Now I can almost smell them! LOL!

I was just in one of my dresser drawers and I found my Opening Night pin from last season. It was exactly a year ago! Ye gods! (They won their first game, btw.) I would love to go to Opening Night next week. There’s still a chance, isn’t there?

WRITING SOMETHING

I got off my routine a bit today. Not good! But I did write a little bit, so I guess that’s good. I think I shouldn’t have done so much emailing. 😛

TV STUFF

American Idol – I must say, what in the world did the voters listen to the other night?! How was John Stevens not booted? Not only that, he wasn’t even in the bottom three? How in the hell did La Toya get to the bottom three?! What exactly are people listening to? Either I stop watching the freakin’ show or I need to start voting. And my vote goes to La Toya. Must vote for the local girl! American Idol voters are CLOWNS! Why is John Stevens getting so many votes?! Do people really think his performances are as good as La Toya or Amy or Jennifer or Fantasia or Jasmine or even George? Hell, even Jon Peter Lewis sounded better.

This is why I watch Nashville Star. Now there is REAL talent.

THE PLACE FORMERLY KNOWN AS “WORK”

I’ve gotten a few emails from my former co-workers. I hope they keep me in the gossip loop. It’s like I’m there. I really do miss interacting with a lot of them. Alas!

Looking back once more...

A’s 5, Mariners 10

Just five more days until Opening Night. I can’t wait! 😀

I did a bit more writing today. The story is slowly coming along. I really need to think about how I want to structure my day. Not working is definitely an adventure! 😉
