MOM!!!! Just called my mama to wish her a happy birthday. Couldn’t talk too long as my throat hurts again. Free lunch tomorrow at Catch. There is however, a catch: we have to listen to a pitch from a financial planner. In related news: pitchers and catchers reported today to spring training. In unrelated news, […]

Yesterday I went to Giants Fanfest. It was free, as always, but this time was at the ballpark. Last year it was in a large warehouse across the cove. They should move it back to the warehouse. You see, concourse areas at ballparks are very narrow. And normally, thousands of people aren’t moving around in […]

Looks like I might get to keep this icon after all! Though I might have to change the hat. But still! Yay! Fingers crossed. I miss baseball.

I got out of bed at eight this morning, fed the cats, watched some Tivo while eating Cheerios, and started on the housework. Brian joined me shortly thereafter and we did a good job af cleaning the apartment. After all, houseguests next week! After lunch, I went downtown to the main library and returned some […]

Well, the Giants are out of it. Bastards. Not that we didn’t all kind of see this coming after that nine-game losing streak a couple months ago. Ugh. And hey Oakland A’s, wtf? That’s all I have to say about THAT. I am ashamed of the huge stack of unread New Yorker magazines on my […]

Haven’t done this in awhile — current word count is: 58,415 That’s a lot of words! It’s still a first draft, and only a third done. I have been writing a lot this week, making quite a few major revisions, all of which I am pleased with. I am learning a lot from my advisors. […]

My next research project is to find the names of common house plants. My favorite ones so far happen to be for two plants I actually own: monstera delicioso, and the spider plant. Today I didn’t do much except write. The sun won’t come out here. I looked over my shoulder every once in awhile […]

All the front windows are covered with opaque plastic sheets. Can’t see a thing outside. Ugh. Our already dim apartment becomes even dimmer; it feels like November in here. Giants game last night was great. The Dodgers were beaten, I got to see Schmidt pitch, and I had a nice hot chocolate. The only downer […]

Last night we went to the A’s – Tigers game in Oakland, and the A’s managed a 5-3 win. Hooray! The game was sold out, probably because of the holiday and the fireworks afterward. Before the national anthem, there was a video on the big screen of this Army soldier whose truck had recently hit […]
