reverie

I hope to never see Brad Penny in a Red Sox uniform again. What a pathetic excuse for a pitcher. There's absolutely no excuse for having a starter who can almost always guarantee a loss. So glad to be getting Tim Wakefield back this week. If you know me well, you know that's saying A LOT as I'm not particularly a Wake fan. That just goes to show you how absolutely terrible Penny is. Now let's just hope Penny is the one ousted from the rotation. In other Red Sox news, we took Yankee pitcher Burnett for a ride this afternoon! Few things delight me more than my boys beating up on Burnett. Not sure why, just really dislike him. And our baby starter--Tazawa who's 23 & was pitching in only his 3rd major league start--shut out the Yankees for 6 innings! This was a fantastic turn of events after losing all of our last 5 matches against the Yanks including last night's horrendous (hopefully last) outing from Penny. Let's hope that was our last loss to t...

Nearly 4 years ago I had a dream about the frustrating dance that can be male/female interactions. A friend on whom I had a crush at the time and I were the starring players in this dream. At this point I don't remember many specific details save for the following as I had made note of it at the time. I was startled awake from the dream just as my friend shouted, "I'm in love with you and I'm terrified!" Quite a thing to try to wrap your mind around upon waking. Of course not having transpired in reality there's no particular need to parse out the meaning of such an exclamation. But now so many years later having run across what I had jotted down about the dream at the time, I do have thoughts on it. And guess what, you get to hear them! I know, you're feeling very lucky right now. ;) I genuinely desire that kind of love. A love that is so strong and amazing that it can also be completely frightening. And not in a bad or immobilizing sort of way,...

In a perfect world football season would only be 2 months long and would not overlap baseball season. Actually in a perfect world football would not exist, but I'm being kind(ish) to my football loving friends. Is it just me or does football keep starting earlier & earlier every year? All I know is that it's not even September yet and we've got plenty of good baseball left, so football can just shut it & go away for awhile (or forever). Thanks.

If heaven had a flavor it would be Red Velvet Cheesecake . Wow. Get thee to a Cheesecake Factory & try some today!

As promised! To Shark Week with love, I have a sick fascination with you despite the fact that you FREAK ME OUT! eek! I'm pretty sure any nerves I had built up to consider trying surfing are now completely shot. d'oh! Still, I will continue to watch all week. It's messed up, I know. To MLB Network with love, you offer me a delightful daily dose of baseball. You wrap me in your arms when I arrive home from work & guide me around America's ballparks. If you were a man I'm pretty sure I'd have to marry you. To Twitter with love, okay I give in, I admit it, I love you. I tried to fight it, but I truly enjoy you. To 30 Seconds to Mars with love, your new album is tantalizingly close to releasing. It is long awaited & I'm excited to hear the final product as well as finally see you on tour again! I am giddy as I think about it. :) To chipotle peppers/flavored foods with love, you are yummy! My current favorite use for you is chipotle marinade o...
