Kicking myself because I bid foolishly on eBay. My fault completely. Didn't read the item description as closely as I should have, and wound up paying about 4x what the item was worth because I set my ceiling too high and someone bid me up. We're not talking a lot of money here, but it's still irritating. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

You know that you've friended too many writers on LJ when you need to take breaks from reading posts to look up words in the dictionary. I know, I should have the damned thing memorized by now, but there you go.

Listening to the radio on the way home from work, had to laugh when the DJ dedicated a song to the Cubs pitching staff. The song? REM's "Everybody Hurts." And the regular season hasn't even begun. It's going to be a long summer.

Finished up my tax stuff. Mailed it out today. Go! Me!

Except you guys have enjoyed the services of Jamie Moyer lo these many years, Energizer Bunny of pitchers and FORMER CUB.

My fear is that they'll give the Walking Wounded (aka Wood and Pryor) the boot and the yo-yos will win Cy Youngs by the dozen for their new teams. Because there's something about that jersey with the "C" on it that saps the strength of the strongest arm.

Unless you're Greg Maddux, but let's not go there. Nice to know he came home to retire, isn't it? They're just going to let him pitch while he's doing it because WHO THE FUCK ELSE HAVE THEY GOT????

I'm ok now. I'll just drink my warm milk and go to bed...
