I WAS SO CLOSE. With about 30 minutes to go in my drive home, I finished the last of the cd mixes I had put together for the road. Against my better judgment, I started scanning the radio. And the DJ Clue Desert Storm remix of We Belong Together came on. And despite myself, I WAS GETTING INTO IT. But the raps on it are lame, and ruin what could have otherwise been a respectable remix. Ah well. It's all for the best. I hate having to remind myself that I don't like Mariah anymore. It's too late for her to win me back, damn it.

Anyway, I survived to get home late yesterday and there was a little pile of packages and cards by the foot of my bed. Yay :-P

lisabird: Your card was so cute. I'm sure Derek loved his too ^_~
phantom_hpuff: The scan of the pic was cute enough on screen, but the original drawing looks even better tucked against my dresser mirror ^_^ It's lovely - thank you! Your card was also quite darling.
wickedgoddess_: That was completely unexpected! You're too kind ^_^
rickenbacker: **laughs** So, I'm pretty much locked into liking the Cardinals by the time I'm done with this thing, or it's over between us? I'll try not to disappoint you :-P I was really touched that you'd send me your personal copy. Your little note warning me about specific pages was great XD (Also, I still own about 100 sheets of Sirius stationary from Hot Topic so...yay us :-P)
I also had a holiday card from a BPALer I'd swapped with months ago. It was such a nice surprise. Sometimes, people are awesome.
Also waiting for me when I got home was the Sox 2004 postseason set. I bought the set for the last four games of the ALCS, but I watched Game 1 yesterday, because I was in the mood for Moose. Nineteen straight batters and as early as the fourth Al Leiter's like, "I guarantee you he's thinking no hitter..." and then BELLHORN of all people breaking up the perfecto in the 7th. That's kind of amusing to me, actually - I had remembered it being Damon. And then, as is his form as of late, he proceeds to fall apart and gets pulled. But still, great performance from him (the knucklecurve was dancing, and everything was where he wanted it - I love when he's got his control) and the energy of the crowd was amazing. I had no memory of the crowd being so into each call, but the audio on the DVDs is great and their anticipation with each pitch...you can just feel it. One day, man, I swear. One day, I'm seeing a postseason ballgame in person.
I took a bazillion screencaps that may or may not eventually become icons, because I'm still debating if we all need to be that up close and personal with his salt-and-pepper (!) five o'clock shadow.
So, Nomar signed with the Dodgers, huh? I was kinda hoping it would be Houston if he was staying in the NL. Ah well. I'll now pay him even less attention than I was when he was playing in the NL Central. Have a nice life, Nomar.
