Moonlit Jazz

I don’t think I give my Labrador enough lovin’, so here’s a picture of my beautiful doggie. She’s the good one. She always listens and she’s almost never bad. 😀

And here’s one of both my dogs:

Congratulation to Keith Foulke! He was named the American League Reliever of the Year by The Sporting News. Good for him! I really hope the A’s can keep him…

I got Halloween off. 😀 I’m going to go work with the hubby that day. Oh joy! Maybe we can watch a movie afterwards or something. That will be nice, eh?

Yes, next Friday should be an interesting day at the office. I wonder if anyone will notice before that day. I’m certainly not going to say anything about it. Well, maybe here. On Thursday night or something. 😉

I foresee a slow crumbling in the office. Morale is LOW. All the talk by the power peanut last week only served to alienate the very people he should want to keep. One of my friends, the person most experienced on our shift, is very set on heading out of the office and into the h/u. Although I don’t want her to go, I absolutely understand her position. She’s TIRED of all the crap. And so am I. Just not enough to sit in a control point and open doors and close doors. I haven’t gotten quite there yet. But I’m frustrated. And weary.

And because of my weariness, I am willing to wreak just a little evil. And really, it’s not evil. But it will show the utter inefficiencies of our current situation.

Yet I wonder if maybe someone will notice before Friday…

I’m going wedding dress shopping on Sunday with my cousins. 🙂 It’s been so long since I’ve done that! My cousin is getting married next year. Yeehaw! I can’t wait to see the dresses she tries on. And maybe we’ll find bridesmaid dresses too. 😉

I walked out of the building today and was greeted by a nice, refreshing breeze. Of course, anything is refreshing after walking the halls of sweat, stink, bologna, feet, etc. But yes, the breeze felt good, like a caress. The drive home wasn’t so bad. The truck needs a washing though. 😛

I guess I just don’t want to be at work right now. I’m considering taking Halloween off just because I don’t want to be at work. Should I do it?

Work was odd this evening. I was finished with all of my work by 2100 hrs. On a Monday! Oh, when I walked into work. the Lt was in the Sgt’s office and he (the Lt) asked if I was feeling better (because I called in sick on Friday). I said that I was feeling better. I walked away and thought, he knew I was sick? Uh-oh. I don’t think it’s ever very good when the Lt knows stuff like that…

Sometimes I think I have all these things to say, but when I sit here in front of the computer, it all flies away from me. Is this me missing my baseball already? Alas!

Neal:(Not that he’ll ever read this, but hey, it’s the thought!) I hope that you have a most wonderful birthday! I hope you know that I’m always thinking of you. 🙂

I just burned a CD I called Momentary Convergence. It’s a mix of slow-ish songs of various genres. Right now, “Secret” is playing. Yes, the same secret featured in this current layout. 😉

I should be in bed, but if I go to bed then it’ll be tomorrow even sooner. Although the clock does say 0157 hrs, which means it’s already Monday. Blah! I really don’t want to go to work tomorrow. I wish I could stay home. Alas!

We watched ROAD TRIP. It’s such a dumb movie, but it’s so funny!

I started reading “Bad Boys Online.” It’s a collection of three stories. Definitely an adult book. 😉

I hope we keep the CompuServe service. I rather like my new email addresses. LOL! I don’t know if I’ll use them, but it’s nice to have options. 😀

Baseball

The Yankees lost yesterday. Go Fish! 😛

Music

We bought five CDs yesterday. We like spending money. LOL! Clay Aiken, Linda Eder, Jonny Lang, Bette Midler, and O-Town. So far I’ve listened to Clay and Jonny. Jonny ROCKS! Clay is all right. I’ll have to keep listening. But Jonny Lang has definitely matured into a great musician. We bought O-Town because of that song of theirs, “All or Nothing.” We both like the song. And of course Linda and Bette were my choices. 😛 I love Linda Eder! And Bette Midler does a Rosemary Clooney songbook, so I just had to get it. I love the old standards.

And a visit to soulDecision’s website yesterday finally paid off! They’ve got 3 unreleased songs on the site and an update on the group. First off, WHY DID DAVE LEAVE?! Well, they don’t say (Ken wrote up an update and mentioned Dave’s departure first), so I’ll echo their good wishes to him. Second, they’ve made the band guys official members. Now I have to remember Tino, James, and Terepai (bass, guitar, drums respectively). Tino and James were part of the group’s live show (and in the videos, if I remember correctly), but Terepai was not, although he drummed their first CD.

I’m very excited about their upcoming release! The songs sound good. I wonder if Dave’s departure will affect the sound of the music. So far it doesn’t seem so…

To my visitors…

Thanks to Lauren for tagging, to Jen and K for commenting, and to Jennifer for emailing. 🙂 I knew someone would want to know more about Barry Zito on JAG. 😀

Football

Right now the 49ers are up 21-7 against the Bucs. It’s the 2nd quarter.

I’m a baseball fan. I’m a fan of certain actors, most especially the number one guy on ” the men of my online life” list. So what are the chances of those two fandoms coming together? 😉

William Gregory Lee and Barry Zito are currently on the set of JAG filming an episode in which WLG’s character, a marine, gets beaned with a 95 mph fastball by Zito’s character, a navy man, during a navy-marine baseball game.

Of course, this means that both men have had to cut their hair VERY SHORT. Hmm, a clean cut Barry Zito? When he looked scrumptious all scruffy? And my WGL with his hair cut to the skin on the sides and back? Ye gods! But I must say, it’s a picture I look forward to seeing. 😉

Now, isn’t it funny that I’m the biggest WGL fan out there (save his family and friends) and I’m a huge A’s fan and now those two fandoms are coming together? I think it’s CRAZY! An episode involving baseball will of course call for a baseball player and who better than last year’s Cy Young winner, a budding actor dude? But what are the chances that MY favorite guy in the whole world (save my hubby, my dad, and any sons I may have) will play the marine who gets beaned by the pitcher who plays on my favorite team?

So many questions. No answers. Just a coincidence, I’m sure. Too bad I couldn’t be there in person to see it all. Alas. But it’s nice to know Zito’s a nice guy. 😉 I already know WGL is a great guy.

And then there’s David James Elliot. Does anything think that’s just too much eye candy? Wait, there’s no such thing as too much eye candy! 😀
