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!

Don't feel bad. Everyone we lose goes to the NY Yankees. The Yankees! I almost like them because they're really Mariners.

Now I like the Yankees, or at least I will as long as they have Tino Martinez. Do not ask me why, but I have always liked that man. He was hard to keep track of during his wandering years, after the Yanks let him go. But I was very glad that they re-signed him, and I hope he's with them again this year.

If not, I'll just have to default to the Red Sox again...

Yankees = The Enemy. :-)

I really love to watch Ichiro Suzuki. Amazing! (Except for the dud year last year).
I used to enjoy watching Olerude but he's gone too.
I'll be watching Sexon and Bloomquist and Winn if we still have Winn (I haven't checked the roster lately).

Now we have a bunch of youngsters I don't know.

Yankees?! Fah! Ptooie! Severe loathing. I spit on the Yankees.

Amy = Indians fan = the one team which has fans who can claim more heartbreak than Cubs fans.

If they keep Tino, I root for them. If they don't, I don't.

Te amo Tino.

Or is it Yo amo?

Whatever. Tino's my guy.

And according to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tino_Martinez, Tino announced his retirement last month. He will work as a broadcaster for ESPN.

So, yet another reason to watch baseball on ESPN. And there went my reason to root for the Yankees.
