Random update kind of thingy.
Feb. 27th, 2010 06:31 pm- Still feeling very blah. Not sure if I'm fighting something off, or if I'm just tired and the weather is getting to me.
- We decided not to go to the monster truck rally. Weather is just iffy enough.
- Right now, I just feel stalled.
- Didn't help that work this week was pretty rough.
- Weather, long runs, and the usual problems combined to give me well over a thousand miles for the week and a nine+ hour day average.
- Actually gotten some discussions going on the TML that have branched out into some interesting ideas.
- I'm wearing a hoodie from the Burning Man Department of Mutant Vehicles.
- This is obviously part of
kshandra's evil plot to get me out to That Thing In The Desert.
- I haven't been watching much of the Olympics, but I have been keeping up on the stories.
- I'm flatly refusing to support NBC's attempts to manipulate time. You have three branded networks, and control over a few others. Show everything live!
- Then have a nightly two-hour recap/highlights show.
- This kind of crap is why the BBC is my main source of news these days. American media is too stage-managed for my tastes.
- Speaking of news, Spring Training is well underway!
- From everything I've read the G-men realize how close they were to the postseason last year; and are determined not to repeat their mistakes and poor run production.
- One of my favorite stories is Willie Mays' arrival at camp. After making the usual rounds, the 78-year-old legend sat down with two of the Giants' prospects. Two kids who were visiting the big league camp for a day or two before going to the minor league facility. Both rookies, one straight out of high school, and they get to sit and talk baseball with one of the greatest ever to play the game.
- First Spring Training game is Wednesday against Seattle.
- GO GIANTS!!!
