picks

Presuming that the following eight teams advance to the playoffs: AL: Yankees Red Sox Twins Angels NL: Braves Cardinals Dodgers Astros I am going to pull for the Red Sox and the Cardinals because I loathe the other six teams for various personal reasons. And I’m rooting against the Twins because I hate their stupid […]

So, the first “debate” is tonight. I cannot bear to watch. Mainly because the sight of Bush and the sound of his voice makes me want to puke. Or cry. Or both simultaneously. So, baseball is on tonight. Again, I cannot bear to watch. Another disasterous choke by BOTH of my formerly-contending clubs. You losers […]

just a list

1. Today I finally bought a laptop. My very first. It is shiny and pretty and a Powerbook and I will name her Clover. I also bought her a special friend for her very own, a 20GB iPod named Button. It is a nice day. It will be a nice day when they arrive, too. […]

The bands of muscle around my ribs and across my abs are a bit sore today, in a good way. I went swimming again last night; another ten laps, another struggle for grace. But I did it and felt great afterward as I sat in the froth of the jacuzzi. It’s such a speedy and […]

zzzz friday

Level II Beginner swimming lessons start October 23 and go for eight classes, every Saturday morning at 11:30. Only $65 because we are members at the Y. Brian and I are going to go together, to make up for the fact that we both dropped Japanese like a couple of lamers. Work is so slooooow […]

splashy

This morning I went swimming. Despite arriving at the pool at 10am (taking a quick break from a slow work morning), I found that the lanes were all occupied, so I had to slip into the slow lane with a couple of old ladies who both could swim better than me. I mean, I am […]

over the edge

In fact, I did go to the gym this morning before work. My level of fitness has declined in the last two sedentary weeks… I will need to be a bit more consistent. Things to get done tonight: stop at Safeway and drop off film — only if they make prints with white borders check […]
