October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I want to thank all of those who helped me raise over $700 for the Making Strides against Breast Cancer Walk. (Thanks to Judy for the awesome cards!) 

Happy Halloween!!!! 

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Grrr.... So I am without my car yet again. *sigh* I only just got it back last Monday. There was smoke coming up from under the hood along my windshield. Cars are more trouble than they're worth and yet we are slaves to them. I can't imagine NOT having a car.

Went to Boston this weekend. It was fun. Did Happy Hour and hung out with my cousin. Even washed windows. Our three muskateers (how the hell do you spell that anyway???) were down one. Apparently now that Kevin has a girlfriend, he's too busy to hang out with us. Whatever!

I HATE Halloween. I've never liked it. Ever since the 3rd grade when someone made me a princess costume to go with a friend's king costume. First of all, I had to wear pink and second, he got all the attention. I was invisible. I used to like dressing up like a little kid in pj's and carrying a teddy bear, hair in pigtails. I hate the stupid Halloween parade at work.

Lots of venting here, eh?

Music: check out the Brian Jonestown Masacre. If you live in or around Boston, check out Reaxis.net. They're playing this Friday in Somerville. I may be going. Haven't thought that far ahead. Plus the guitar player is hot.

Books: Who has time to read????

Movies: I think the last movie I saw was The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. California boy moved and now I have no one to see movies with.

TV: Alias sucks this year. I did read that Michael Vartan is coming back. Otherwise I see no point in watching the stupid show. I have five freakin' years invested in it. Sark is coming back as well. Speaking of Alias... I have been enjoying Kitchen Confidential w/ Bradley Cooper (Will Tippin on Alias). It will return after baseball. Desperate Housewives is not as interesting as it was last year. It actually annoys me. I want to slap the shit out of Teri Hatcher. Now, James Denton is another story...

Baseball: Well, it's the White Sox and the Astros. I prefer the Astros. Not so much Clemens and Pettite as Biggio and Baggy. Love those guys. I love that Gardner put Baggy in as DH in Game 1. Who cared if they lost when he struck out w/ runners in scoring position. He was rewarded for his tenure. I hate the White Sox. I HATE Ozzie Guillen. I think someone forgot to tell him that he doesn't actually play anymore. And I am pissed, I missed Robin Ventura catching the ceremonial first pitch in Sunday's game.

Okay.... in desperate need of sleep right now.

There's always next year...

*Sigh* Well... another post season come and gone. No Sox, no Yankees... I'd like to see the Angels and Astros go all the way.

Can't believe Columbus Day has come and gone.... Had a very social weekend. Dinner w/ Jay... Jen's birthday... visit to Pennsylvania... Need a vacation from my 3 day vacation. I am very excited about having off Thursday... Gotta love a Jewish holiday.

Now... do I complain about boys or baseball????

Found a cool site for DVD reviews. dvdsnapshot.com

I have been addicted to Seasons 1 & 2 of TJ Hooker for the past week or so. I can't get enough and Netflix is going too slow... I also watched an interesting documentary on the recommendation of my cousin and Kevin. Dig! It's the story of the Brian Jonestown Masacre and the Dandy Warhols.

I AM NOT HAPPY

Grrrr... the evil White Sox... and fuckin' El Duque.... So the Sox are out. Should we dissect it?

I blame pitching #1. When you go from having Pedro and Schilling as your aces to having Wakefeld (whom I love) and Clement???? Clement hasn't been the same since he took that line drive to his head. Schilling and his bloody sock are now an urban legend. Wake is consistant but still... and with no closer. Timlin is great, a real gamer... but he's not a healthy Keith Foulke. I've said it all year... Derek Lowe may have had a horrible regular season in '04, but in the post season, he came through... had a win, a loss and a save. He pitched his heart out last year.

Can Manny and Papi carry a whole team? True they've done it all year, but still...

Maybe it is true the old saying that the Sox are like Daylight Savings Time: Spring ahead, Fall behind.... They fought to get to the post season, but they shouldn't have had to. They had a 5 1/2 game lead in August. Sure, it doesn't help when you Captain, your starting catcher comes into September batting .299 and leaves bating .280.

Sigh... So, now I must root for the Yankees, but they are not making it easy. I HATE Sheffield, I HATE A-Rod, I HATE Randy Johnson.

As my cousin, the Fenway season ticket holder said, at this time of year, Red Sox Nation starts looking toward next season. But there will be even more changes for next season. Many more players will be gone... I think the sun has set on the Boston Red Sox... But it was good while it lasted.

Could really use a beer at Charlie's now.

Die Cleveland Die!!!

Sigh.... Cleveland needs to lose so that the Yanks and Sox make the post season. I hate Aaron F**ing Boone.

This weekend is guarenteed to give me an ulcer. I want the Sox to win. I want them to go to the post season. I would like to see the Yanks go to b/c, then it's interesting. And I'd love to see Bernie go out in the Post Season... but it would be VERY interesting to have a 3-way tie for the Wild Card. It would be even more interesting to have the Yanks eliminated completely.

I cannot believe September is over already. Next weekend is Columbus Day. Wow... We're going on a field trip on Thursday to the Farmer's Museum in Cooperstown. I love field trips. Survived "Meet the Teacher Night" this week.

Now... I don't know if anyone reads this... but I am addicted to Alias. I have watched it from Day 1. I own the DVD's. I LOVE Michael Vartan. I am plotting numerous ways to torture JJ Abrams. He's evil. Every season, he takes everything you've come to absorb and tosses it off the nearest bridge and starts all over again. It's aggravating. Vaughn cannot be dead. I will stop watching it. I think he's alive. And it's all a big secret to keep people watching. I think they faked his death and funeral to flush out his "killers". I hope...

Other shows I am watching this season: Desperate Housewives (although wasn't as into the Season Premiere... hope it gets better), Crossing Jordan, Las Vegas (I miss Nessa), Kitchen Confidential (Will Tippin from Alias!!!! And I just read Michael Vartan is going to guest star! Bonus!!!), Gilmore Girls, The OC (although it's on against Alias), Without a Trace, Apprentice, and ER. Oh, and I forgot, House. Hugh Laurie is very intriguing. I like his character and I've met Robert Sean Leonard - he came to Kingston when I worked on the High School's production of Les Miserables)

I am currently reading Faithful - by Stephen King and S. O'Nan. It's the recap of the Sox '04 season. Without having SPAC, my reading has been limited. This summer I read Harry Potter 4, 5 & 6, plus the 2nd and 3rd summers of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and finished A Conderacy of Dunces (highly recommend that one!!)
