[Bad username or site: rickenbacker / @ livejournal.com] thinks I should come down for the four game A's/Royals weekend series in KC in August. She's being a v. bad influence. I'd be more seriously considering it if I didn't already have quasi-plans in the air for an early July trip to New York, and I can't really justify doing both. I may not even be here, because my mom keeps mentioning me going to Morocco for some part of the summer, but I don't know how serious she is about that. She talks about it every summer.
Don't want anything from the new bpal update, though And There Was A Great Cry In Egypt caught my eye (from the new Salon collection). But I'm definitely priced out at $23 a bottle (plus shipping so, hello $30 bottle, I think not). Yesterday I was quite ready to order a bottle of Yemaya, but I've talked myself down since; yay team me.
Read some story on how there was supposed to be a TWW tribute show before the series finale this Sunday, but squabbling over pay led to NBC axing it. So NBC won't be doing any kind of sendoff at all, which is kinda...wow. I knew things had gotten bad, and the show was struggling, but wow. It's all very "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out," you know? Then again, I haven't decided if I'm even gonna watch the finale, so I can't really talk.
Quelle surpris! Kinda hurt my heart to read, even though you could see it coming from a mile away. Garner's sweet, though, all He's still my closer, when. Come on. 109 (and counting!) newspaper headlines to the contrary, my friend.
Other things getting me all emotional early this morning - the Mother's Day player postcards.
I was having trouble watching the games online yesterday and it was really pissing me off. As were other things. I'm feeling very Tar baby sit still and don't say nothing all at once.
And you know what else? There should be a way for you to force journals to defriend you, for fuck's sake. Like, a cyber crowbar. Work with me, Eljay. For the most part, I don't mind if people keep my journal friended when we aren't mutual friends, but dead journals? serial adders? rp journals? I just want them to go away. I should be able to make them go away, Eljay. Thank you to the handful of RP handlers who did remove me when asked.

It's not a definitive solution, but the journal stops getting listed in your user info and the user of the journal can't comment anymore (out of sight, out of mind).
So it that would solve your problem then Go to (http://www.livejournal.com/admin/console).
If you type in "ban_list" and click 'execute' then you get told who's ony our banned list.
You can ban journals by entering "ban_set journalname" (replace 'journalname' by the name of the journal you want to ban).
I hope it still works since it's been a while since I banned someone (all serial adders).

Anyway. If you really can't, just say so. You'll just have to learn not to mention what ifs to me, 'cos I tend to try to make 'em happen. BethyJ was just joking around, saying she should come visit me over St Paddy's and I totally picked it up and ran with it.
But if there's any chance, I'm not giving up :P And if its a money issue, I'll help.
also - the mom's day mlb thing. DOOD. as if i wasn't already an emo mess lately (and i can't figure out why... for once i'm actually hoping i'm getting ready to start). lastnight i was so all over guys in my mind - and not just mulder on tv but the whiteboy!eric chavez at the gas station. WTH. its creepy. anyway, but the moms day. awwww barry and randyflores writes an essay, i'll bet he was a good student, and just everyone else. the millar twins! so kookily cute!

I don't think you are!
Anyway. If you really can't, just say so.
Well, it's not so much that I can't, as it is that I shouldn't >.>
And if its a money issue, I'll help.
omg, don't be an idiot. I will not be responsible for taking food from the mouths of your 1,503 pets.

The whole thing is COMPLETELY MANIPULATIVE, OMG. ♥

**laughs** Well, actually, I'm pretty sure that's normal? If you were stalking either of them or boiling their pet rabbits, that would be creepy.

Lol. Well, I am if I made you feel bad.

Oh well if that's all.... :P I know what you mean, though.
omg, don't be an idiot. I will not be responsible for taking food from the mouths of your 1,503 pets.
silly. I'd starve myself before I'd starve my pets. And I only have 6 (ok, mebbe 8) dogs and (*counts*) 18 cats right now. I've had 30 pets at one point, not counting the goats & sheep & bird, so 20 is really no big deal. Just a lot of litter scooping, lol.
Anyway, it's really no prob. I've been budgeting well lately, so I'm good. I'd have no problems bribing ya if it came to that.
**laughs** Well, actually, I'm pretty sure that's normal?
That's what Holly said! She's like "well good! That's human nature" I'm like well then I'm not human 'cos that just doesn't happen to me. At least not the guys in real life thing. At least not without me being in heat.
If you were stalking either of them or boiling their pet rabbits
Well maybe if I lived closer to StL. The first thing I mean! Although, if Mulder had a pet rabbit, I would officially declare him perfect. For like the 15th time. But still. The first 14 times I said it don't count.
Aww I miss having pet bun-buns now.

Of course :/ They seem fairly optimistic that his problems are only mechanical, so here's to hoping this is the part of the movie that sets up for his triumphant return. Or something.
what i have trouble accepting is that wheeler and qualls will be in that role now...
Well, for now. I don't know much about this Qualls guy, I don't think. Scary?
From:
no subject
we can only hope. and it's too bad that even if lidge's problems weren't just mechanical, they wouldn't say anything about it until after the fact.
qualls has been good lately, after a pretty rough start. i just don't think he's really ready to close regularly. i'm sure garner will use wheeler more. either way lidge better fix himself quick.

Right. They're airing the first episode before the finale, which is perhaps some sort of de facto tribute. Lame, though. I'm gonna watch the finale...I've watched the last few weeks, so I'm caught up. I'll let you know how it is. (On a related note, I really don't like the President-elect's wife. I think it's because Teri Polo plays her and I'm still bitter about the whole Rebecca thing. Grudges die hard, especially when my boys are involved. *laughs*)

Yeah. I'm optimistic that the issues really are just mechanical, and it'll be easier to get those worked out in less-high-pressure innings. Plus, I don't know what got said in the meetings about it. Perhaps Lidge asked for some non-closer time to get stuff straightened out. It's much better to move him somewhere else in the relief order and have him get better than to leave him in at closer and have the problems continue. Because that would be so not good for anybody involved. I was so pleased that he pitched well in the seventh. And the adjustments he talked about seem to be targeted to repair specific mechanical problems. So yeah. Triumphant return in the works here. :-)

Ha, I've been there. So many of my friends watched Providence but I could never get into that show because the female lead had been Victoria on due South and she broke Benton's heart :(
Triumphant return in the works here. :-)
