dismay


of course the race was rain delayed until tomorrow & i was left with nothing but to watch in pain as Schilling collected his first loss for 2006. it's an exquisite form of torture to watch the Red Sox play these days. kinda like old times. but not any i was eager to revisit.

and now on top of everything else; on top of losing to the worst team in the AL East; on top of now being tied for first place with The Nemesis; on top of the next month's schedule consisting of 3 stints with the Yankees, 2 each with Baltimore & Toronto and another stand with the D'Rays; on top of tomorrow's home opener against NY being pitched by Wakefield (or more accurately, my issue is that it's being caught by Ward)...

on top of ALL THAT...

tomorrow i have to look at The Traitor (who i refuse to even link my blog to!) in pinstripes. with his sell-out haircut.

and no it won't matter if they are actually in road grays & not pinstripes.

Feast Ninety-One
April 28, 2006

Appetizer
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how polite are you?
9

Soup
What was the last thing that made you laugh out loud?
i have to pick 2 because they made me laugh equally hard: Boston Legal this past Tuesday & my email conversation with Nichole on Wednesday i believe it was.

Salad
Who is your favorite cartoon character?
does Tinkerbell count?

Main Course
Tell about the funniest teacher you ever had.
probably Ms Norton, my junior year English teacher. she always said exactly what was on her mind & she was pretty sacrcastic which tends to amuse me. i wonder if she can still get away with teaching her students the way she taught us...?

Dessert
Complete this sentence: I strongly believe that
by grace we are saved through faith.

(from April 14, 2006)

Oh my aching... actually nothing at the moment. hmmm...

I'm addicted to... sports!

This week I discovered... some old film i needed to develop.

I don't understand... how Matt Leinart didn't go until 10th overall in the draft, but i'm thrilled that he went to the Cardinals & not the Raiders.

Inconsideration ...makes my blood boil.

I should have... watched The Sopranos last night but i forgot it was on.

WooooEeeeee, this weekend... it rained!!!

(from April 21, 2006)

When I was a kid I used to think... the scary stone house down the road from my grandparents' home was haunted.

I totally shouldn't have... rubbed my eyes just now because now they burn.

Thank goodness... today is the last game in this Red Sox-Devil Rays series.

When I grow up... i will still love Disney World.

I can't get... that aggravating James Blunt song ...out of my head.

Brett Favre's return for 2006 ...makes me smile from ear to ear.

I will spend my weekend... grocery shopping, doing laundry & relaxing.

oo! oo! oo! oo! stayin' alive! stayin' alive!


just as i was constructing a eulogy for the Sox against the Rays tonight, something to bemoan the terrible tragedy of the last three outings here on my humble blog, Manny finally woke up the bats. i have come to a conclusion: unless Manny or Big Papi is hitting, NO ONE is hitting. i'm not sure who decided this was so--baseball gods with a twisted sense of humor? or is the rest of the batting order just feeling defeated when their homerun sluggers can't connect with the ball? the Red Sox website deems it an "offensive funk". it's offensive all right...and not in the way that should be implied when discussing Boston's hitting. but a solo homer by Ramirez in the 5th & suddenly they were all bringing bats to the plate again.

through four though, i was huddled up on my couch, lamenting the fact that no matter how poorly the Rays do against every other team they face, they seem to have the Red Sox' number. Boston is in first place, the D'Rays in last, yet it's as if the real world ceases to exist when they play against each other. suddenly it's the twilight zone & Tampa looks unstoppable. it befuddles me.

whatever the case, in an unexpected (by me anyway) about-face, Manny managed to come up with a stand-up triple in the 7th--and let me tell you, if Manny can get to third base easily, your defense must be moving backwards, never mind in slow motion. the only person slower than Manny is the as-of-late frustrated Ortiz, who, when he is in his zone, doesn't *need* to haul ass because the ball has gone yard & he can take his sweet time to trot around the bags. but Manny has shown some hustle these last few days & even if he is no sprinter, i am appreciating his effort. someone needs to show some if we're going to kick this slump & be ready to face those Crankees the beginning of next week! after several near heart failures, a couple words my father would not approve of and an ulcer the size of my fist, the 9th inning brought redemption for the poor performances i had been witnessing of late. in a delayed, but worth the wait rallying response to Manny's triple, the boys came through with some runs to take the lead at last & made me jump around like a lunatic right through the bottom of the inning when Papelbon sealed the deal with 3 straight Ks.

*sigh of relief*

if only i could be thrilled that Schilling takes the hill tomorrow afternoon. the sick feeling in my stomach comes from Kazmir starting for Tampa. Kazmir, who makes the Red Sox look like...well...like they have been looking in the games leading up to tonight. let's just hope the Sox don't revert back to bringing dead wood back to the plate & treating Schilling like they have been Wakefield.

tomorrow i will be watching the race & just checking the game's score on commercial breaks i think. i am not sure i can take that match-up at Tropicana after what they put me through tonight...

today's snack...

...because yesterday there was a comment from Nichole that was not very happy with my choice. ;-)

also so yummy. with dried sweetened cranberries, dark chocolate chips, peanuts, almonds & cashews. (but i throw away the almonds cause i don't like those.)

Read more...

in agreement with my previous post

from Surviving Grady

"What is it about having Tim Wakefield on the mound that makes the offense shut down? The only run, and the only bright spot of the night at plate, came from a Wily Mo long ball. The rest of the guys checked their bats at the door and cranked the suck-o-meter up a notch. Seriously, is this some sort of team prank?...

...Whatever it is, Bard is in on it. Four passed balls last night. And not all of them were the nasty knuckler. At least one was a belt-high pitch that inexplicably bounced off the top of Bard's glove allowing runners to advance. Even mild-mannered Timmy was showing signs of frustration."

i reiterate: i miss Mirabelli.

Read more...

the learning curve


so i learned last night that Wakefield is the *only* knuckleballer in all of present-day baseball. i knew it was uncommon but sheesh! i understand now that there's no other way for Bard to get better at catching him than to just get out there & do it. trial & error, emphasis on the errors. and i feel bad for him. i really do. he looks so aggravated out there. but i feel for Wake as well. how frustrating has this got to be for HIM? i guess, being that no one else is really a true knuckleballer, i am still befuddled over the fact that the Red Sox dumped Mirabelli--who was not only comfortable catching Wakefield, but GOOD at it! i know that maybe he was asking for a longer term contract & that Wakefield may not have as many years left in him as Mirabelli might have wanted but...you have a catcher who can catch a one-of-a-kind difficult pitcher with ease...and who was a great back-up for Tek...wouldn't it have been worth it instead of taking the end of a man's career to train a catcher in a technique he may conceivably never use again??

i thought the saying went "laugh & the world laughs with you..."

sometimes i feel ridiculous watching a show by myself & laughing alone. like tonight for example.

"Bored? With Denny Crane?? Why even my name fascinates!"
(paraphrased from a line spoken by William Shatner's character in tonight's episode of Boston Legal)

normally it's James Spader's character of Alan Shore that cracks me up the most but Denny Crane (William Shatner) made me freaking LAUGH tonight.

and that whole episode left me with a look of bewilderment. between this week's Boston Legal & last week's episode of The Sopranos, i am starting to think that my favorite show writers have completely cracked. LOL

so. my hands were dry. i hate that. i grab my keys & take the 5 second walk to my car to get some of my favorite yummy vanilla hand lotion which i keep stowed in the compartment of the driver's side door. i am supposing that the lotion is unhappy being kept in the car in the heat (did i not learn my lesson with Little Debbie??) because when i flipped open the little cap to squeeze some into my palm, the lotion shot out at me in protest. and onto my my right boob. which made me start laughing. a lot. because it looked...never mind. if i have to explain it to you... ;-)

let's just say i smell extra-vanilla-y now. but unlike when someone usually inquires as to the source of the yummy smell...i will NOT be offering up the reason as i usually raise up my hands for them to breathe in deeply of the vanilla yumminess.

Wednesday Mind Hump
April 18, 2006

Hi humpers! Ready for another mind hump? This week's theme is Cow Chip Day. I don't like that one, so I'll choose something else. I'm getting a brand new digital camera for my birthday this weekend, so today's theme will be photography!

1. Are you the photographer in the family, or is it someone else? it is mostly me! i do have a family full of photo-takers, though none as much as i do.

2. What kind of camera do you have? Digital or film? i actually have NO camera right now. but my wonderful friend Andie has let me borrow one of her digital cameras until i can save up enough to buy a new one--which will absolutely be digital!

3. Are you photogenic? Or do you run whenever someone breaks out the camera? i am by no means photogenic but i don't run from the camera like i used to. i've learned the value of being in the photos (when i'm not taking them) because i love looking back on old family photos & seeing the people i know & love long before i ever arrived on the scene.

4. If you could take a moment in your life, the best one you've ever had, and photograph it so that you could remember it forever, which moment would it be? i don't know how you would ever capture something like this but it would be the moment i recognized i was in love.

The rules are, there are no rules!!! All you need to do is copy and paste the above questions into your blog and add your responses. After you've finished, return here and leave us a comment so we'll know you've humped. Be sure your hump is linked back to http://bdinsanity.blogdrive.com so others can hump too.

Friday Five for 04.14.06 --
A photograph's worth 1,000 words.

1. What is your favorite photo? one my brother rcently scanned & emailed me of my grandparents (that i plan to share here at some point)

5. Which do you prefer: digital or print? digital

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Are you more...

01) Pure chocolate (either milk or dark) or chocolate mixed with stuff (peanuts, almonds, rice puffs, etc.)? any will do but i guess mixed with stuff takes a slight edge
02) Someone with a neat, beautiful signature or someone with a horrible chicken-scratch signature? actually a cross between the two: neat enough to be able to identify the signer but messy enough to make it both original & difficult to copy
03) Tolerant of phone solicitors because they might be offering something you want or intolerant of phone solicitors because they're annoying you at home? 100% intolerant--don't call me, i'll call you
04) Joysticks make for the better gaming overall or gamepads make for the better gaming overall? ummmm...huh?
05) A lover of fast automobiles or a lover of reliable, sturdy automobiles? reliable
06) The regular holidays should be kept as-is even if they have a religious background or all holidays should be completely secular? leave tradition & well-enough ALONE. if you don't believe in what someone's celebrating, just don't join in.
07) Expecting that there will be ETs walking freely on Earth within your lifetime or expecting that it will happen after you're dead if at all? ETs? heh...i'm a skeptic. period.
08) Needing of quiet when you work or enjoying noise (radio, tv, conversation) when you work? prefer quiet...or at least controlled noise
09) A karaoke singer or a karaoke critic? critic--which is messed up because NO WAY am i getting up there to do it myself!
10) One who thinks that you should honestly critique children's work (so they can improve) or one who thinks you should always praise children's work? i think that children need a healthy dose of both--one to encourage their true potential & the other to nurture their self-esteem. you can't praise idly or criticize too harshly. everything in moderation.

Go Sox!



AL East Standings
Red Sox 11-4
Orioles 9-7
Yankees 7-7
Blue Jays 7-7
Devil Rays 7-8


ok so the Yankees are no longer in last place. that would be partially the Red Sox fault anyway since the current series has consisted of the Sox being victorious over the D-Rays twice now. doesn't matter anyway. without getting too smug too early (we *are* only 15 games in after all...) i like seeing the Boys from Boston firmly in first. not to mention Schill 4-0 with a 1.61 ERA. Beckett at 3-0 and an ERA of 1.29. Papelbon closing with a solid 7 saves. some fine defensive work in the field--highlights-worthy plays & some real hustle being shown. and finally, finally, the bats starting to show some life. i have to say...if the NFL is my first love, the Red Sox are an almost imperceptible second!

in closing, some particularly favorite quotes from Surviving Grady:

All in all, it was just what you'd like to see every night. Seven strong from your starter, set-up and close. Good defense and plenty of offense. Spring is here. Baseball is back. All is well. ("Brining Down the House" 4.12.06)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Such a curious thing, this 2006 Red Sox team. Last night's offensive hero, Alex Gonzalez, began the evening hitting .167. Manny Ramirez looks like a guy who can't find his ass with both hands whenever he steps to the plate (now checking in at a most un-Mannylike .200). Mike Lowell, who I previously feared would be the official team albatross, is absolutely crushing the ball at Fenway. The Mighty Wily Mo Pena is, as Men at Work once sang, "six foot tall and full of muscle," but reduced to spare change whenever he takes a bat in his hand. And Curt Schilling has been reborn as the heart, soul and fury of the team. ("And Just Wait 'Til Clemens Gets Here..." 4.15.06)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Attention Kevin Youkilis:

What can I say? I'm sorry.

Ever since it was reported that you'd be taking over first base duties, I've led a one-man campaign to smear your good name. The bat would go dead, I promised. The defense -- even though a fancy hat rack might prove an effective upgrade over Kevin Millar's glovework -- would be deplorable. It was time, I thought, to climb upon JT Snow's shoulders and let him carry us into the promised land.

But, like so many other things, I was wrong....Most recently, you've wormed your way into my heart by single-handedly resuscitating a game that, for all intents and purposes, was lying cold on the floor. Hauling your prodigious ass down the first base line, you injected more adrenaline into this city than the twenty-two thousand marathoners ambling up Heartbreak Hill could ever hope to."
("I Can Tell That We Are Gonna Be Friends" 4.18.06)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Seriously, I can't recall another season that packed more drama into the first couple weeks. Between the one-run nailbiters and walk-off homeruns and balls-out saves and diving catches, I've already pushed my blood pressure well out of the safety zone. And it's only April? Sweet Melissa!...

...And it all came down to a spectacular holy-crap-did-he-really-catch-that? snag by Adam Stern to seal the deal. Before you could even wrap your brain around what was happening, Papelbon was pumping his fists and "Dirty Water" was in the air.
("The Famous Final Scene" 4.19.06)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Suffice it to say that last night, our pals from Tampa Bay looked woefully out of sync, as if some of them were channeling a baseball game happening in an alternate universe. The Sox, meanwhile, continued to tear it up, with the offense delivering a seven-run third inning, and Schilldog, while not quite as sharp as previous outings this season, striking out seven and holding the Rays to one measly run. Our Man Curt is 4-0. The Greek God of Walks (3-for-4 with a home run) has been reborn as the Greek God of Kicking Y'alls Azz. ("I Saw an Angel, Of That I'm Sure" 4.20.06)

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost went unnoticed last week.

Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey," died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.

They put his left leg in, and then the trouble started.

SHUT UP. You know it's funny.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a holiday after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you." Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.

Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. "Did you say that?" He hissed at the parrot.

"Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."

The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"

"Moses," replied the bird.

"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses."

"The kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."

a day late?

...or a reminder that Easter is not about just one Sunday in Spring?

look who is starting to peek out today! =) at first i was a little disappointed when all the buds stayed tightly wrapped. i checked the lilies about 50 times, hoping they would somehow know that it was Easter--being *Easter* lilies & all--and would open up there pure white trumpets in joyful praise. nothing doing. when i went to bed last night, not a bud had budged.

but when i woke up this morning, look at what was waiting for me. as i impatiently waited for my lilies on Easter, my lilies had a lesson in store for me. Easter isn't just about that one day. that one day is just a reminder that we have a reason to celebrate *every* day.

i was reminded of this particular email i received a couple of weeks ago:


The hymn writer Isaac Watts celebrated the central symbol of our faith in his well-known hymn, "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." This is the cross of Christ, not a replica of wood or stone encased in gold, but the [one] on which "the Prince of Glory died."

The cross struck horror into the hearts of millions in the ancient world, just as the twisted cross of the Nazi swastika or the hammer and sickle of communism were meant to strike terror into the modern world. No one gloried in the cross until the Prince of Glory was elevated upon it. Then the cross became for the first time the "wondrous cross," the sight of which can turn a man's life inside out. The dying Prince of Glory made it so.

Christ was delivered for our offenses and raised again for our justification. The Crucified is not dead. He lives! And faith is not in vain. As He is true and real, as His wondrous cross was true and real, as the open tomb is true and real, so true and real is faith that trusts in Him.

At the cross, life meets death, and only life remains for those who pin their hopes on Him. Fear is turned into faith, and hatred of God and man transformed into love. All this comes from the Savior Christ who speaks to you today: The whole realm of nature is Mine. I gave it all up for you. For you I died. For you I live.
(Dr. Oswald Hoffman)


life meets death, and only life remains. an empty cross. an empty tomb. i get a shiver just thinking about that.

are you still rejoicing today...?

Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, who had not consented to their decision and action...Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body. Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how His body was laid in it. Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.
(Luke 23:50-56)

Stuff Portrait Friday: April 14th, 2006

1. Your Peeps - introduce us to some of your friends outside of the blog world.

i had to cheat to play along with this one since most of my non-blogging friends live in CT & i haven't seen them since last year. in the back, next to me, is my very good friend Alison that i met just when i needed a new friend about 4 & a half years ago. we bonded over cake. and i feel like i've known her my whole life. in front of Alison is someone i *have* known my whole life--or all but the first 3 years of it anyway which at our age counts as our whole life--but Heather has a blog so i'll move along now. =P next to Heather, holding an escaping little man is my friend Gosia (pronounced GO-shuh for anyone who doesn't know her). we met about 6 or so year ago and she is just the sweetest person. she's the kind of friend who is really there for you & that you can pick up right where you left off no matter how long it's been & she will always be truthful, tell you like it is, say the things you need to hear but no one else wants to say--but never in a way that is hurtful. i can't wait to see ALL my girlies when i'm up in June. =)


and these friends are Tony & Darna & their furbaby Sam. they are a ton of fun to hang out with. they are our breakfast buddies & Casey's playdate.

2. Something Fuzzy - *shaking head* you guys keep it clean.

this is my pupster...trying to make everyone in internet land believe that nobody here loves on him & gives him attention. he is really quite pathetic. and a con artist. =P

3. Something/Someone you want to dye/die - Yeah, shut up, you’ve thought of it!

i would really like to dye these but quite frankly no one here will eat this many hardboiled eggs so i guess i will do without...

on Boston sports...hanging in limbo...hope for the common man...and a i had a dream


well...6-2. no complaints here. still in first place in the AL East. i know the consensus is to blame Wells but to be honest, there was just no hitting at all in last night's game. not even from old reliables like Tek or Manny. the biggest problem was that the pitching sure didn't help matters. i hope Boomer finds his groove soon. and this little bit from Surviving Grady cracks me the heck up: I'd like to be the 3,482nd person to officially point out that more than a week into the season, Bronson Arroyo has two more home runs than Manny Ramirez. Sorry, I just think that's the friggin' funniest thing ever. Who knew we had a sleeping HR hitter in the rotation huh? too bad we let him go for "I'll Swing At Any Pitch You Throw" Pena...And we've gone Cuckoo for Coco Crisp--and signed a 3-year contract extension. from what i've seen so far, i'm pleased. as long as this early trip to the DL isn't a foreboding of what's to come...


finally, FINALLY! the Patriots organization has screwed its head on straight & started thinking about working out some deals with current team members. *before* they become free agents & we lose another dozen guys that took the field the previous season. a 4-year contract extenstion for Richard Seymour sounds darn good to me. he earned a little more of my respect too by saying: "I was never interested in who's the highest-paid player," Seymour said. "At the end of the day, I'm not going to spend all this money anyway. A lot of it is just a bunch of zeros. My concern was always just that I be compensated fairly for the things I do on the football field. We came to an agreement on that. There was give and take on both sides." (please don't ruin my happiness by telling me he was probably reading a carefully scripted line...just let me be delusional & believe that he was sincere, mmm-kay?) kind of curious where these meetings between Ty Law & Bill Belichick might lead too...


in other football news (or lack there of in this case)...and you know this pains me to say it...but it's really & truly time for Brett Favre to make a decision. i know he's struggling with it, you can see it plain as day, but really...it's time. his family, his fans, his team...they've been waiting patiently & supporting him every step of the way. i think we'd all understand whichever way he goes with his decision. we just need to get to that place so we know what comes next. us...but most of all HIM. i know every great athlete believes he has just *one more* great season left. and therein lies the greatest battle--fear of giving it up too soon. i don't know if he owes it to the Pack to come back for 2006 or to bow out at this point. on the one hand, they've lost the chance to pick up free agents to better to the team because they couldn't promote any QB and they've also lost the chance to pick up one of the veteran free agent QBs to help back a very inexperienced Rivers. he almost owes them this last season for the losses they've suffered leaving his career fate up to only him. and no one can really expect a brand new head coach to step into the picture & cut Favre, The. Brett. Favre., as his first line of business. that would be career suicide in Green Bay. on the other hand, maybe he's wavered so much that it's time he leaves them to put Rivers in, trial by fire & see what he's made of, to step away quietly. i just don't know. but the media has been so unforgiving of his indecision that it makes me sad to see someone who should go out with honor & accolades ending his career with criticism & snide remarks.


all this drama over Greg Biffle's girlfriend getting up in Kurt Busch's fiancee's face over Busch taking Biffle out of last Sunday's race. Biffle's girlfriend is getting reprimanded. blah blah blah. can't have this sort of catfighting being allowed in the public eye. blah blah and more blah. the only long term effect of this "incident" (which by the way, i totally see why Biffle's girlfriend was upset & had something to say, woman to woman) is that these 2 clowns got their women in the media spotlight & now every common man in America who watches a sports clip on tv suddenly has rekindled the hope that he too might somehow land a babe way WAY out of his league.


see what i mean?? how on earth did those 2 guys end up with those 2 girls?!

and last but not least, i must thank Michelle--not to be confused with Michelle (who finally blogged, TWICE in the last 24 hours!) or Michele (with 1 L)--but Michelle who gets me wound up on football commentary & talks a whole lot of Manning trash with me, who so kindly implanted thoughts of Chad Johnson & endzone dancs in my head late last night...which is the only way i can construe that i dreamt Chad Johnson had a huge spinning recliner installed in the endzone to the side of the uprights for his next TD celebration. i don't know what's more disturbing: that i dreamt about Chad Johnson or about ridiculous endzone antics.

the year was 1994...

so i mentioned that this past weekend, i unpacked the boxes that had been living in my office. in one of them i uncovered my yearbook from my senior year of high school. totally could not resist looking through it.

first thing that struck me. we really look like a bunch of dorks. even the "cool kids". how did we not see this back then?? i mean really. dorks. it is inescapable.

then i started reading some of the things that were written in my yearbook by friends & classmates. ya know how you have all those inside jokes? things that can elicit eruptions of spontaneous laughter at the time with just one word? well 12 years (yikes. 12. i've been out of school now as long as i was in it. minus college of course but that's not the same thing. i digress. this should not come as a shock to you. where was i...? oh yeah!) when you read these one liners--typically followed by "you know what i mean"--12 years after the fact, you are just plain clueless. you have NO idea what so&so meant by that. none. yet back in the day, you can't imagine a time where you don't know, where none of this is important. because when it's happening it seems like it's enormous. you can't imagine anything bigger than this...and really, just like the fact that you have no perception of just how dorky you really are...you also can't begin to grasp how insignificant high school really is.

it's a rite of passage though. and there are some good memories in those pages even if most of them are foggy at best. and let's not forget the comic relief of looking at the photos. =P

Wednesday Mind Hump: April 12, 2006

Hi everyone! Another hump day is upon us. Today is Big Wind Day, so grab a coat and play along.

1. "And the answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind." So says Bob Dylan. What IS the answer?
only the wind knows

2. Ever seen/been near a tornado? Was it cool or scary? Both? Get out of it ok? yes but i didn't know it at the time. about...ummmmm...8 years ago (?) i was up in Syracuse NY with Michael visting friends. there was a really bad storm outside & we lost power. with nothing else to do we kind of wandered around house looking out the windows at the trees blowing & the rain & the lightning. finally we all just went to bed. when we woke up in the morning & ventured out for breakfast, we saw a street a block over cluttered with downed power lines, twisted trees, snapped utility poles & various other debris. turns out it was a tornado!! i wasn't scared because i didn't know but if i'd known, i'm sure i would have been terrified.

3. Pick a random country. If there's a message you could whisper in the wind to someone in that country, what would you say? Italy: thank you so much for all the yummy food -- what can i say?? it's almost my lunchtime & food is on my brain ;-)

4. What's your favorite thing and least favorite thing about wind? i love the way it feels on a warm day when a breeze comes along & refreshes you. but i do *not* like the wind when it comes with a hurricane & howls around my house for endless hours...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

from Manic Monday

a new meme i found courtesy of Stacy

1. When eating pancakes or waffles, do you put your syrup on top of the pancakes/waffles or on the side and why? i don't really like pancakes but i do like waffles--especially Blegian waffles. i usually put a little bit of butter & then my syrup or fruit of choice right on top, one section at a time. not too much though because i don't like them soggy. as i finish a section, i top the next one.

2. Do you cut your sandwiches on the diagonal, straight up the middle or not at all? depends on the sandwich. if it's just on regular sliced bread or on a round roll, i don't usually cut it at all. except for grilled cheese--that gets cut diagonally. if it's a sub-type sandwich & bigger than 6" then i cut it in half.

3. Do you tuck your top bedsheet in with hospital corners or do you like it on the looser side? i tuck it in, not perfect hospital corners but still neat. here's the thing though: i don't like to be tucked in too tight but i also don't like the sheets pulled out so that they come loose under the comforter. i like to get into a tightly made bed & then wriggle around until the sheets are the perfect tension (i know! i know! LOL) and i will even get up & re-tuck the sheets if i loosen them too much.

Bits and Bobs for Friday, 7 April 2006

1. Do you like chicken? mmmmmmm...yummy. i like it all sorts of ways. grilled. roasted. chicken strips. boneless buffalo wings. chicken sandwich. tenderloin strips in a stirfry...

2. What is 1 food you can't live without? ONE?? ummmm...pasta.

3. Are you an early bird or a night owl? both. i like the peaceful calm of being the only one awake when every thing else is sleeping. i am NOT a middle of the afternoon girl.

4. Chocolate or vanilla? depends on what we're talking about.

5. Are you more of a cat person or a dog person? i like cats just fine but i *love* my puppy.

PSA for Monday April 10, 2006

it is a good plan to roll your window all the way down *before* you throw your quarter into the basket at the toll booth. the odds of getting it through the inch you have it lowered for enjoying the fresh morning air on your commute to work are not good. neither is the shock of that small disc of metal bouncing back & hitting you on the side of the head, if you want the honest truth.

it *is* good for making the person behind you laugh as they see it happen though. *sigh* (this had to be the one time someone was paying attention huh?) it also makes good blogging material. look at me, Little Miss Glass-Half-Full. =P

Buccaneers Fact
Kicker Martin Gramatica (1999-2004) is the only player in Buccaneers' history to score 100 points in a season. He did it three times, with a high of 128 points in 2002.

Let’s get to know your camera, okay?

This Friday’s theme…Take me off AUTO!

1. Macro: take a picture of something ‘close up’. Don’t use your zoom, make sure you have good lighting and make sure you’re steady. If you have to, set your camera down on something and then take the picture.



2. NO FLASH: try swiching the flash off and taking pictures of your stuff without it. It may take a lot of pictures to get the right shot, but open the windows and find artifical light to get it to work.



3. Perspective: get up high or down low…either way, change the perspective of your picture..tilt the camera sideways. Change the layout of the picture. Instead of having the subject framed perfectly in the middle of the picture…move it to the left or the right.



You all hate it when I make you think of out of the box. This is one of those weeks you’re going to hate me, but it’s really not that hard. Find your favorite subject and follow the rules.
