Tried to watch “Tomb Raider 2” tonight. Impossible. I’d have to remove my cortex and then it would STILL talk down to me. How did angelina jolie, who is a pretty good actress, get roped into not one, but TWO of those wastes of celluloid? All those great old movies rotting and this one is in perfect condition. What a shame.

The Times this morning was an ugly wake up. Marlins. Yes, Marlins. Those long-nosed fish things from a town that has had baseball for about as long as I’ve had kids. They’re celebrating on the field at the House that Ruth Built, the Cathedral of Baseball. It’s just not right.

And to tell you what kind of baseball junkie I am, the worst part was looking in the “sports grid” in the Times to see what was upcoming this week and finding basketball, football and hockey.

*sigh*

Oh, the boys. I’ll miss them. They couldn’t hit. They couldn’t field. And still they were within 2 games of winning it all. At least I’ll get some much needed sleep.

And…

Spring training is JUST around the corner.

Current Mood: contemplative

I’m at work now, once again fighting a losing battle against an AIT autoloader. I’ve spent 80% of my day today watching the little robotic changer go up and down. BORING.

We’re on the verge of getting just killed with the cost of it. Anyway, more to come about this, I’m sure, as we count down the days to which we rank among the uninsured…

I’m Tiiired…Soooo Tiiired….

Isn’t that how that song goes? I don’t know. I’m going to bed. I can’t even stay up and watch the yanks fall apart tonight. That should tell anyone who knows me how tired I am. Missing a world series game.

On the bright side, I think katie’s OK. Poor little monkey.

OOoh..and we went to our first “parent-teacher conference” today for my older one. Apparently, she’s far and away the smartest kid in the class. The teacher spent lots of time trying to explain to us that she’s trying hard to give her extra stuff to do. They’re learing to count, she can add and multiply. They’re learning letters, she can read and write. I do hope she doesn’t get too bored.

Night night.

Well, after the yankees lost in 12 and I thought that my sleep couldn’t get much worse, lo and behold! my 3 year old has a stomach virus! Yes, boys and girls, friends and neighbors, up 3 times from 5 AM to the present cleaning up sheet after sheet, pillow after pillow. My poor little girl spent most of that time simply whimpering with her binky in her mouth. She doesn’t know what’s going on and is just scared. I’m just TIRED.

And whatever came out of her STINKS like you wouldn’t believe!

It’s gonna be a loooong weekend.

Hey, more baseball tonight!! Will this season never end?

I was right–the yankees came back in the 9th, but they lost it in the 12th. I’m SO tired. I hate staying up late for a loss. when I get a late win, it’s exhilarating, but when they lose and I stayed up, it feels like a total waste of time. Ah, well, I guess you stick with a team through the good and the bad. Except the knicks. I can’t stand them and they suck.

Goodnight all.

OK, yanks down in game 4, up 2 games to 1 over the Marlins, going to the bottom of the 9th. I’m a believer, though, and think they can pull it out.

Go yanks!!

You know why they suck? because anytime you do ANY little thing you have to rescan the media and it takes FOREVER!

OK, so I’ve gotten this newTreo 600 and it’s just the coolest thing ever. I’ve been playing with the wireless part and it’s very fast. I actually installed and tested out VNC on it and it was totally useable! Amazing, from a PHONE.

Also, testing out typing in HTML here. I’m just typing it in off the top of my head, so it might be a mess.

Woo! Yankees just won! 2-1 in games on the way to their next World Championship!

Go Yanks!!
