Dodger trading fiascos

Saturday, July 31st, 2004

It gets worse. Now that we traded Roberts away, a good chunk of speed just left the team. I just watched the 3-2 loss to the Padres. Thing was, the Dodgers were winning up until the 8th. A week ago, they would of kept the lead, now they blew it.
Yesterday, I said it was [...]

Moving Humor

Saturday, July 31st, 2004

Naeem and I helped Sam move his bed to his new studio at UCLA. Sam’s starting law school there next month. His studio is pretty big. Has a huge bathroom. Seriously. It could afford to lose three feet, and still be big. Just wasted space.
When we were moving his bed in, the elevator didn’t work. [...]

Blue Moon Tonight

Saturday, July 31st, 2004

The difference in definitions is Sky and Telescope’s fault. Check out their explanation of it.. [...]

Damn Dodgers

Friday, July 30th, 2004

The Dodgers traded to Florida Mike Piaz…. I mean Paul Lo Duca today.
WTF? History repeats itself, trading a fan favorite catcher to Florida?
My bitterness and anger can not be expressed publicly. My personal thoughts are not sanitary enough for this forum.
Mota being traded saddens me, but does not piss me off. His career will [...]

Just watching Chinatown…..
And trying to avoid Democratic Convention. At least Chinatown has more to do with my life than that. And ain’t that a sad fact? Or at least, the history behind Chinatown is more far reaching than this past week of talk and speech will be.

From the GBS, I found this. I think we are in for a shock soon. Better call Lucas, see if he can drum up any X-Wings for us. What’s the range on the Death Star again?

Long day at work the past two days. 5:30 am start times, leaving around 5pm each day. Tomorrow is easier, starting around 6:30. Thursday, though, when the VP’s visit, will be a 6am start time. So far so good though. I was told again today my raise/review paperwork is in progress. We shall see when [...]
