So, on my birthday, someone gifted me with an LJ gift certificate. I didn't say anything at the time, because I thought it was [Bad username or site: johnnybvo / @ livejournal.com], and I was going to see him the next day anyway. But when he and I met up for breakfast, he gave me a hardback of Runaways, volume 1, (which I'm insanely excited about, btw, because I fell in love with the art in that title ages ago), so it must have been someone else. I'm not gonna ask who, since I guess the fact that you sent it anonymously means you don't want me to know, but thank you so much! It was very sweet of you, and I really appreciate it.

Can't hang around long (**ignores cheers from peanut gallery**); have to gather up my things and get back to VA, but:

+ a handful of screencaps from the last few innings of yesterday's LAD @ OAK game. Because I have this thing where I'm as amused by a blown Huston save as I am pleased with an Oakland win, and last night provided both.

And, MLB.com's highlight clip of Crosby's at bat and the walk off:

(wmv - 3mbs)

The Marlins swept Toronto, bringing their winning streak to 8 games. If Atlanta loses tonight, the Marlins will be out of last place in the NL East. And because I make no sense, I now begin to feel bad for the Braves, even though I'd be thrilled for someone other than the Fish to finish last in the East, and all the Braves have done for the past 8 years is annoy me. **laughs** What can I say. I like to make my fandom a complicated thing.

OH MY GOD I MISSED YOUR BIRTHDAY.

So, uh, obviously it wasn't me. But happy frickin' birthday, dearie! I hope it was a good one and that others were better about remembering it than me.

*fails at life*

**laughs** It's really okay; I rarely catch anyone's birthday on LJ. LJ needs to get with re-enabling the birthday notifications.

So, you are clearly the person on my flist to ask this. I know nothing about comics (except that they, you know, exist) but I like the X-men stories as far as I know them. Kind of used to watch the cartoon a bit, like the movies, etc. Is there any way to read the entire saga without actually collecting the comics? Are they compiled in books after a few years or anything? Because I assume it's expensive and/or impossible to obtain a whole series, right?

And happy late birthday. :)

AND, thanks for the Crosby clip.

lol, damn it.


Actually, [Bad username or site: angisageek / @ livejournal.com] can probably direct you to the hotspots for torrents and stuff, which is how most everyone I know that reads comics is catching up nowadays. Particular 'classic' storylines of the X-Men titles are definitely available in bound collections. I own a couple such collections myself - The Dark Phoenix Saga, for one, and a few volumes of an AU storyline from the X-books called The Age of Apocalypse, for example. I'm fairly sure you can find many of these collections online now, as cbr files on torrents, and you would download them and read them on your computer. I can ask my friend [Bad username or site: johnnybvo / @ livejournal.com] what he recommends for catching up on the X-men stories.

Oh, judging from the reviews, these The Essential X-Men (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0785102981/102-2081004-5559350?v=glance&n=283155) collections might be just what you're looking for.

dude, you should totally do more of those screencaps with humorous comments. because it was hilarious. marco running away from the attack was totally worth getting way too little sleep last night.

also! happy birthday, rockstar-type person.

From: [identity profile] ayrdaomei.livejournal.com


LOL, well, I don't know how many of those I have in me; that game was just begging for it. I was only gonna take caps of Huston grabbing a drink, for Bri, and it kinda spun out of control >.> I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks!

If Frenchy died under mysterious circumstances and wasn't on the Braves anymore, THEN would you care?

I think not.

From: [identity profile] ayrdaomei.livejournal.com


I would, because there would still be Huddy and Brian. SORRY. :P

From: [identity profile] rickenbacker.livejournal.com


Wasn't me by the way. And mine's going to be reaaaally late since it still hasn't come yet and I'm headed out of town. And I'm worried it might not be what I wanted when it gets here.

ANYWAY. Love love loved the screencaps. Seriously, what's better than a BS AND a win? Yaaay for the bullpen shots of Huston enjoying his alcohol. <3 I oughta pay for your mlb.tv subscription just so you can feed me these :P

Dood I know, how weird that Atlanta has fallen so far. It makes me ... not so much sad as uncomfortable. Though I do heart Huddy, Frenchy, LaRoche and Joey D.

I didn't think it was, Ms. Let Me Spend $14.00 To Express Mail A Card That Will Still Be Late XD

And mine's going to be reaaaally late since it still hasn't come yet and I'm headed out of town.

**laughs** I'll survive. And no worries. I mean, as long as it's not Mulder in a box, I'm good to go.

Heh, don't think I won't call you on that when it comes time to re-up ^_~

Did it get to you on Saturday? 'Cos it was totally guaranteed (to get there in two days, if I paid for oneday service, the bitches). I just didn't want it to get there on Monday and you not get it till next weekend 'cos then I'd feel reaaaaally lame.

as long as it's not Mulder in a box, I'm good to go.

Well it was but they forgot the airholes.... so Imma have to come up with something else and quick.

It did come btw but now I don't know how to get it to a po before I leave!

And I'm totally not supposed to be on the computer right now...

[hugs you]

The screen caps rock. :D


I'm so happy for the Marlins. I was watching the gameday of their game rather than the Cusb game, just so I would be doing something productive. lololol. omgwestink.

From: [identity profile] lovingthecubs.livejournal.com


Okay, so I was reading your captions, & I gotta say they really tell the story.. Then I got to this (http://pics.livejournal.com/ayrdaomei/pic/00074p49/g12) picture, & is it me or does Barry have this "Why the hell are you sitting by me after you just did THAT?" look on his face? I mean, he looks flat out ticked off, lol.

But yea. You rock for taking those. I fricken love watching the guys in the dugout. XD

& is it me or does Barry have this "Why the hell are you sitting by me after you just did THAT?" look on his face? I mean, he looks flat out ticked off, lol.

LOL. I think it's more that he's upset that Dan Haren wandered off and abandoned him ;_; When Huston first came crawling out of the clubhouse in the 11th or so, he sat just off to the side of them. And then Danny wandered off after a few innings and I guess Zito felt obligated to at least make some small gesture of solidarity by moving down next to Huston :P

I'm glad you enjoyed them!

omgwestink.

You know, I'm not gonna lie, I had to think long and hard about who I would root for in the hardluck Indians-Cubs matchup tonight. I finally decided on the Cubs :P

From: [identity profile] lovingthecubs.livejournal.com


There were times during the game when I was sitting there thinking, "Okay, don't beat up [insert Indian's pitcher here] TOO much.." hah. I'm really happy we won though. [hugs the Indians]

We'll lose the next 2 though, trust me. ;]

Er, actually, it was me. The gift certificate, I mean. I didn't check the "anonymous" box, but LJ has been doing that with gifts lately. Did the same thing with at least two other recent birthday gifts. Made them anonymous, that is, even though they weren't meant to be. Maybe I should report it to LJ Support.

From: [identity profile] ayrdaomei.livejournal.com


Oh, well, someone should! It's nice to know who's kept you in mind ^_^ Cause, you know, that will come into play when the great FMK LJ meme comes into being :P (thanks again!)
