OMG, cannot focus on tasks at hand. This is so bad. On so many levels, as the man once said.
+ Thanks to a head's up from [Bad username or site: diesolitairedie / @ livejournal.com], I got to see Rosie's appearance on Leno (download available here). I'll be glad when he turns the show over to Conan, because I think Conan's interviews tend to be more random and entertaining, but Rosie laughed a ton, and it was a sight to see ^_^ They also showed a clip of Light My Candle, and... no comment really. But Rosie was cute.
+ I imagine I was the LAST PERSON ON EARTH to see this, and I blame all of you. [Bad username or site: natural_center / @ livejournal.com] links to a short news story on Zito's creative endeavors, and kindly shares some caps. As recently as 3 or 4 months ago, I was still rolling my eyes at people constantly fangirling the Oakland A's, because sure, they're okay, but honestly, they're not all that, they're just skinny, college looking white boys, and now, I can't see a picture of fuckme-haired Barry Zito without thinking how eminently shaggable he is. Thanks for nothing, C_B.
(I still find something about Huston Street rather off-putting though. I realize it seems to be just me. But seriously, there's something very "I want to be a real boy" about him. He's just so...doll-like. I guess because he seems so impossibly young to be playing pro-ball. Weirds me out.)
Anyway.
I was, for reasons no one ought concern themselves with, trolling the AP Photo archive for images of one Constantino Martinez, when I came across some stuff from when he was with the Cards. I'd never seen this image before, and oh man, what a heartbreaker:
(Kannon Kile, 5, stands in for his recently-deceased father during the National Anthem.)
+ As it turns out, my MLB.TV account did not expire on October 31st. Which, in all honesty, is the last thing I needed to know. **face-palms** I'm all too readily distracted as is :-/
+ Oh, and 20 years later, I remember that Matt Lawton went and failed himself a banned substances test. I laughed about him being the first Yankee to get nailed and then I was annoyed when I realized he and Jamal Strong are the first brothers (I've heard of) to get nailed. THANKS, GUYS. **tears up scorecard** (And what in the world is going on in the Mariners organization? Did they even tell their players about the new steroid testing policy? :-P)
+ AND EXCUSE ME WHILE I MURDER THAT THING CRAWLING ON MY WALL. I've killed something like 5 or 6 centipedes in the past week. I really try not to kill things, I'm very much one of those who will, more often than not, just grab a sheet of paper and scoop the offending creature up and out of my living space, but centipedes CREEP ME THE FUCK OUT. I'll be sitting the common room, minding my own business, when I see movement on the far wall or out of the corner of my eye. Ugh. Hate. And they're so long here! And they have all those legs and just. **shudders**

I'm not sure which is sadder: the fact that Darryl Kile's kid is there for the national anthem (and looking so small and innocent and wah) or the fact that his name is KANNON.
I really liked Matt Lawton when he played with the Indians. But now he plays for the Yankees. So screw 'im.
Centipedes terrify me. TERRIFY ME. I can handle spiders, bees, ants... pretty much every other icky crawly thing. But centipedes? *shudder*

Man alive, I know. We will make up for it by continuing to not find Derek Jeter at all attractive :-P

**laughs** You're so wrong. But yeah, I had the same reaction. You're a pitcher, WE GET IT. I feel like there's another pitcher (or 3 or 5) who did that, gave all his kids names that started with K, but I can't think of who it was. No matter how many of them do it, it's still lame.

Yeah, for me, I was a sorta fan when he was with the Twins, but I haven't really taken much notice of him as he's moved around since. I do feel a little bad for him, because I remember him getting booed pretty badly when we played them towards the end of the season. But then I also remember his ass hitting a 2 run homer against us in a RoLo gem we lost 2-0...so yes, screw him.

Exactly. And I don't know what it is about them that makes them so much worse to me than any other bug. But yeah, DIE DIE and DIE SOME MORE.

You'd be thinking of teh great Roger Clemens, who named his kids Kacy, Koby, Kory and Kody. (all boys) :-)
Also, Curt Schilling named one of his sons Gehrig, and Matt Clement named one of his sons Mattix (Greg Maddux homage I believe).
LOL, those krazy pitcherz. I kind of think of it as another reason to love their crazy asses, personally.

Oh yeah, I thought my DVD came but it was actually the books I bought. So, I am now the proud owner of Aces on the Mound. Now I just have to decide when to break it open. I didn't want to over lunch 'cos I didn't want to feel hurried while reading it, lol. I wanna wait until I can like, plan my day around the book.
Speaking of books, and Darryl Kile, I've been wanting to reread Three Nights in August (have you read it? you need to!); there's a chapter in there about Kile and the team after he died and... damn. Tearjerker stuff. Anyway, the book's not just about the Cardinals, its a good baseball book too. But yes, I am secretly hoping that you'll pick up a little love for my boys while reading it. ...Damn, I suck at keeping secrets.

Hey, thanks ^_^ I'm not 100% happy with it, but I like it a ton more than any of the other M/Z attempts so that's something. Thank you for the awesome Mulder screencaps ^_^
Which is a dangerous thing 'cos I've managed to hold back on the fangirling Zito so far.
**laughs** Well then, I wish you strength of will to resist him, with his music, and his photography, and his 'I just woke up 5 minutes ago but I'm still fucking hot' hair :-P
And of course I *would* shag him (sad that that goes without saying, but hello? ballplayer.)
LOL, oh come on. You do have some higher standard than that, right? I mean, you wouldn't do Sammy Sosa, or I dunno, Jason Giambi, would you? :-P

Good call! I got notice a while ago that it's back in at the local library, but I haven't driven down to pick it up yet, since I have all this, you know, work I'm supposed to be doing >.>

I haven't! I haven't even heard of it before now, actually.

Oh man, I'm so sure :-/ Because I'm a sucker, I found myself checking out the Darryl Kile tribute page on the Cards website, and they have some video on there, including of the ceremony at Busch. And I felt so badly for your boys, I couldn't make out who it was, but after the video tribute to DK was played, the camera panned to show one of the players just, in tears, and a couple teammates next to him trying to comfort him. ;_;

LOL, that's okay, so do I :-P I'll keep an eye out for it, but I probably won't be able to get to it before winter break. Unless I get myself kicked out of school before then, which is entirely possible.

Dood, anytime. The more people that use the Mulder caps, the more I can pretend like I'm not watching and rewatching him throw his slider or lick his lips or towel off in the dugout for me. Because it's all about getting a good snapshot for my friends.
I wish you strength of will to resist him, with his music, and his photography, and his 'I just woke up 5 minutes ago but I'm still fucking hot' hair
I know, baseball player with a guitar? Does not seem like anyone I could ever resist.
You do have some higher standard than that, right? I mean, you wouldn't do Sammy Sosa, or I dunno, Jason Giambi, would you?
Lol, ok. I'd only shag 50% of ballplayers. But I guess considering I find pretty much all other men expendable, it seems like I'm a total slut.
I haven't even heard of it before now, actually
::blinks:: really? I thought it was all the buzz. Maybe that's just in St. Louis, lol.
The title of the story comes from the fact that it tells the tale of a 3-night Cardinals/Cubs series. But it goes into backstory and everything else and really is about so much more than just 3 games or 2 teams. It really made me appreciate baseball more. And Tony La Russa, of course. Oh, and the proceeds from it go to the Animal Rescue Foundation. *yay*
I couldn't make out who it was, but after the video tribute to DK was played, the camera panned to show one of the players just, in tears, and a couple teammates next to him trying to comfort him.
I haven't watched, and obviously it could be anyone (Kile was the kind of guy who took other players under his wing, not just pitchers but Pujols et all), but I think Matt Morris and Jim Edmonds were the closest to him. Jimmy has "DK 57" tattooed on his left wrist.
*sigh* my poor boys

LOL. I see. And really, I suppose it says something about you that your FRIENDS have dreams about you sleeping with ballplayers :-P (That totally cracked me up, btw. I can't remember who it was who commented in your journal all "I had a dream about you! You fooled around with Jeff Suppan!" That was so weird :-P)

Aww. I didn't know that about Edmonds. (I knew about Morris, cause I've seen him slashed a few times with Mulder and like every other story involves how haunted he is by Kile's death...)

Yeah.

Oh, I'm the wrong person to ask, but Alex or Shannon might know. I'll get back to you. The stuff I've read/seen have been story fragments or stories connected to this way involved fake!world roleplaying game, which are okay, but not as interesting to me since they're set in a context with which I'm unfamiliar (the whole fake!world thing is so weird. Morris and Moose? And they're engaged? Wtf?)

So I really did try to change my journal. But I just cant. This new theme is freeking me out. So I think I'm going back to my old faithful. And I want a new mood theme....I have the things downloaded (for a shiny new Grey's Anatomy one...), but I cant remember how to set it up. Refresher course? Are you going to dinner with BLSA? Wow...I miss you when you arent around...lol. OOO and I like the Tom McCrey and the Postal Service. Sooo emo. Oh and I broke down and paid for eljay again..damn it all.

**laughs** You don't like Flexible Squares? Everyone seemed to jump on that one when LJ adopted it a few months back. A lot of people like it better than Component, actually.
And I want a new mood theme....I have the things downloaded (for a shiny new Grey's Anatomy one...), but I cant remember how to set it up. Refresher course?
1. Upload all pics to your site (if you haven't one, try Photobucket or Imageshack). A subdirectory ("AnatomyTheme" or the like) is a good idea.
2. Your mood theme should have come with a txt file. Open the txt file and paste it into Word or whichever text editor you use. Do a replace all of the URLs, from "http://www.fillerthethememakerused.com/AnatomyTheme" to...well, http://www.whateversiteyouuse.com/AnatomyTheme
3. Go to the Admin Console (http://www.livejournal.com/admin/console/). Enter moodtheme_create "Anatomy Theme" "GA Moods" and click Execute. Write down the ID# they give you, because you'll need it later. Don't close the browser!
4. Go back to the text file. Do a replace all of "moodID" with the 5 digit number LJ assigned to your mood set.
5. Back to the admin console browser! In the box underneath where it gave you a moodID #, copy and paste all the code from the txt file (remmeber, by this point, you should have changed the urls to where you've loaded the pics, and you should have changed "moodID" to the number you were given). Click Execute. You should get a message saying each mood has been "inserted".
6. Select the GA Moods from your moodlist. (http://www.livejournal.com/modify.bml) ^_^
Are you going to dinner with BLSA? Wow...I miss you when you arent around...lol.
Aww. When's dinner? You know me and school emails >.> I dunno. I've felt weird all day.
Oh and I broke down and paid for eljay again..damn it all.
I know your pain :( Glad you liked the music though!
