Quick! I'm using the library computer, and I only have 49 minutes left.

How is everyone? I've been working too much and I have too much coffee in me.

I miss you guys!

:hug: :loveya: :hug:

Where have you been?!

:hi:

:cry:

:hi:

..I hope! :hug:

Money is an issue these days, unfortunately. I'm hoping that won't last too much longer, though.

How've you been?

Y'just don't get much for a nickel these days.

:hug: :loveya:

Not even gum from the little machine. :P

:hug: :loveya:

How are ya?

It's 89 degrees and I got the Dodgers and Fish on the XM.

And, no — I'm not pacing. :P

I've been to a coupla Nats games this year. My roommate is a big fan. No O's games, though. Dog knows I'd love to watch them be last in their division. :D

Oh, and it's 70 here. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

you watch the Nats be last in their division, and indeed lead both leagues in sucking. :P

And I'm not a Nats fan, so it's not so painful to watch them suck. :D

Nine runs in the fifth. Benjie Molina hit two homers in the inning.

We're beating the Fish 2-1 after three. :bounce:

Which was pretty good.

And yay! Where are the Dodgers sitting in their division right now?

Which isn't too hard to do in the NL West, but it's a better division than last year.

Yesterday, Brad Penny struck out 10 Fish in the first four innings and 12 in five.

Must not have been too many pitches in that game. :P

If I remember correctly, he threw 105 in seven, which isn't bad, especially with 14 k's. He was getting a lotta guys on four and even three pitches.

Funny thing is, Penny's not a strikeout pitcher. He got 13 in a game in 2001, but his previous high this season was three. :shrug:

:shrug:

and the Fish lead baseball in striking out. Something like nine times per game. Oy.

It's still great, though. :P

How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
What old December's bareness every where!
And yet this time removed was summer's time,
The teeming autumn, big with rich increase,
Bearing the wanton burden of the prime,
Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease:
Yet this abundant issue seem'd to me
But hope of orphans and unfather'd fruit;
For summer and his pleasures wait on thee,
And, thou away, the very birds are mute;
Or, if they sing, 'tis with so dull a cheer
That leaves look pale, dreading the winter's near.

When proud-pied April dress'd in all his trim
Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing,
That heavy Saturn laugh'd and leap'd with him.
Yet nor the lays of birds nor the sweet smell
Of different flowers in odour and in hue
Could make me any summer's story tell,
Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew;
Nor did I wonder at the lily's white,
Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose;
They were but sweet, but figures of delight,
Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.
Yet seem'd it winter still, and, you away,
As with your shadow I with these did play.



I've missed you, too. :P

Who with his fear is put beside his part,
Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,
Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart;
So I, for fear of trust, forget to say
The perfect ceremony of love's rite,
And in mine own love's strength seem to decay,
O'ercharged with burthen of mine own love's might.
O! let my looks be then the eloquence
And dumb presagers of my speaking breast,
Who plead for love, and look for recompense,
More than that tongue that more hath more express'd.
O! learn to read what silent love hath writ:
To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit.

I waited till the last moment to reply, because there's plenty of friends that wanted to say hi, and want to hear from you.

I missed you, and I missed your wit.

:hug:

Nice to see you around :loveya:

I'm okay. Tired as hell, but not bad.

How're you? :loveya:

This place has been quiet without you.:hug:

Most days, anyway. :P


:hug:

:bounce:

:hi: :hug: We missed you! :D

:hug: :hi:

Nice to see you! :hi:

:hi:

:hi:

I hope it lasts a little longer. :D
