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**

Though I could be wrong. I'm a really crappy secret keeper, sorry.
