ayrdaomei: ([Misc] Reduce Reuse Recyle)

Um. I should probably get to bed at some point.

If anyone would be up for making me a desktop, I'd very much appreciate it. I love my cookie!Zito wallpaper, but it's officially at the point in the year where it's only gonna make me sad. So, if you're inclined to, hook me up. 1280 x 800. I was trying to make a new one for myself, but I just...I'm in the mood for something completely unexpected. My only request is that it not be baseball-related. And if more than one of you wants to help me out, I'll blow the dust off my old wallpaper changer program ^_^ It doesn't necessarily have to be fandomy or anything. Surprise me? ^_^

Speaking of incarnations of Barry - Zito is keeping a blog for the playoffs. Which, you know, is even more reason for the A's not to go three and out please, kay? thanks. Created another no doubt quirky syndicated feed: [Bad username or site: zito_mlblog / @ livejournal.com]. Thanks to [Bad username or site: cookie2697 / @ livejournal.com] for the heads up.

Notice I didn't say anything about Huston blowing the save last game of the season. I am being SO GOOD.

[Bad username or site: owllover711 / @ livejournal.com] linked to this, which makes me all too happy to ignore Sunday's bombshell: San Francisco U.S. Attorney Kevin Ryan issued a statement Monday, saying: "In view of the recent news reports purporting to identify certain athletes whose names had been redacted from the government's search warrant filings in the Grimsley matter, and in the interests of justice, please be advised that these reports contain significant inaccuracies."

Sounds good to me.

[Bad username or site: oakchick75 / @ livejournal.com], she who is ever vigilant, found FSN Bay Area footage of the A's celebration from last Tuesday on Youtube:
Part I of III - stream // download.
Part II of III - stream // download.
Part III of III - stream // download.

zip of the MPGs // zip of the FLVs from YouTube. The FLVs have the best picture quality; the videos lose a little in the conversion to mpg.

...And I feel like that is a pretty jinxy thing to do, posting old celebration footage right before they play Game 1 of the postseason. I'ma go outside and turn around three times and the whole shebang.

But before I do! I couldn't resist - taking a page from [Bad username or site: rickenbacker / @ livejournal.com]'s book:

Dan hits his 27th homerun, with the remainder of the sixth inning because they show him in the dugout a bunch and everyone loves him - wmv, 22mbs
Dan gets a curtain call! - asf, 1mb
Rich (or is it Tommy? October and I still don't know) tells an adorable story about Dan's first games at Yankee stadium - wmv, 2mbs
The last half inning of the final Marlins game, with the walkoff and on field celebration - wmv, 39mbs. Lots of great moments at the end of this, of course. One of my favorites is the little moment between Scotty and Hanley. They embrace and then Scott holds Hanley an extra couple seconds and says something to him. They seem pretty close, which is something I never thought too much about, besides to occasionally awwww over [Bad username or site: lovingthecubs / @ livejournal.com]' old icon of Hanley comforting Scotty on the mound. I love my super huggy team.

(Have been up all night talking fic with [Bad username or site: offspeed / @ livejournal.com] - how 2005 of us ^_~ That'll learn me to drink a Vault at 11pm.)

I have sometimes used a wallpaper that is like this icon, only wallpaper-sized. And my current wallpaper is the gigantic flag for Salute the Military Day at the Houston Texans game.

Okay, you can feel free to NOT take me up on the wallpaper request XD

[identity profile] acroarcs.livejournal.com 2006-10-03 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I understand. :( I'll take solace in the fact that the Sausage Party wallpaper is very popular in the Shack. Far more than, say, the wallpaper based on this picture (http://pics.livejournal.com/acroarcs/pic/000bqyw2/g6).

I'm actually feeling a bit BSGy today, so I might try to make something for myself like that and then see if you want it to. After tonight I might feel more FNLy or VMy, though.

hey girlie, you know me...I'm always searching for vidoes on the net...hahaha

And for this, I salute you! ^_^

If you're into travel and places like that, try Richard Seaman's travel papers (http://www.richard-seaman.com/Wallpaper/Travel/index.html). I've found some stunning photos I've used. Just make sure to set it on stretch if you don't want sidebars (cause the photos are 1024x768).

Oooh, I do enjoy that sort of thing - thank you!

I is thinking you wouldn't want the wp I was using for a while. Need proof? http://home.comcast.net/~johnnybvo50/deskabove.bmp

Maybe I'll try my hand at something for you special though.

Hardly surprising, but some easily tweakable official (http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/casinoroyale/site/images/about_the_film/downloads/bond_WP_6_1280x1024.jpg) wallpapers (http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/casinoroyale/site/images/about_the_film/downloads/bond_WP_2_1280x1024.jpg).
Or hi-res (http://outnow.ch/Media/Img/2006/JamesBond-CasinoRoyale/movie.fs/01?w=1400&h=933&full=1&print=1) stills (http://outnow.ch/Media/Img/2006/JamesBond-CasinoRoyale/movie.fs/05?w=1400&h=930&full=1&print=1) from this collection (http://outnow.ch/Media/Img/2006/JamesBond-CasinoRoyale/).

If that's too exciting then there's always some soothing balloon pic (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/rehtnug/Morning_Sun_100_0689.jpg). ;)

HAH. I SMELL A CONFESSION.

I love how all the people commenting on Barry's blog are like, "OH EM GEE, WE LOVE YOU BARRY. Come to the __(insert team)__! I want to have your babies!"

Don't feel bad- I can't tell Rich & Tommy apart either. I had it down for a week or so, then all of a sudden my mind went kaput.

That Scotty/Hanley picture is part of my wallpaper. Must. Refrain. From. Crying. X[

Indeed! Recapturing the glory days. And Vault huh? That any good?

Also, I ended up having a disturbing dream about my cat and dogs eating baby birds. :(

Ooh, I got a shoutout from you! :-D That makes me feel all tingly inside. Yeah, I think that the latest "development" isn't going to come to anything at all now. This makes me very happy, don't ya know.

That'll learn me to drink a Vault at 11pm.

Oh dear heavens, are you going to start barking "GET TO IT!!" randomly?? I hope not...;-)
