How is it only Wednesday???

[jessipsaloquitur]

Dear gods. This week has dragged on SO slowly. Work is progressing at a good pace and I've been able to get quite a bit done, but for whatever reason this week has seemed so sluggish. I did catch a bit of a break work-wise today by being relieved of duty with regard to a particularly problematic client. Which also means that I get my October back instead of it being consumed by what was going to be a long (at least 3 weeks) and likely horrifying trial.

And despite the slow pace, tomorrow is in fact Thursday, which, importantly in my part of the world, means the start to an awesome baseball weekend!!! \o/ I've got tickets to all four games of the Diamondbacks' series against the Braves and I'm SO looking forward to the time at the ball park! I'm hoping to get done with court and jail visits and the piles of paperwork on my desk early enough tomorrow to make it in time for batting practice.

Other tidbits for this forever-long week include:

- Generation Kill fic is slowly starting to make it's way to my flist. This is exceedingly happy making!!! Possibly my favorite so far: Home, Fick/Colbert (set after the events on the show) by wrenette.

- While football normally doesn't make a significant blip on my sports radar until after October, Sports Center is telling me that Brett Favre has been traded to the Jets. Hrm. That's really all I have to say about that. Hrm.

- Jeffrey Dean Morgan will be playing a closeted gay man in Ang Lee's "Taking Woodstock." With Liev Schreiber as a transvestite! And Emile Hirsch! The amount of AWESOMENESS in this one announcement is, well, AWESOME!!!

- Strangely, the venue where Christian Kane (and, apparently, Steve Carlson) will be opening next week for country artist Chris Cagle has stopped selling tickets for the show. The site says only "Sale Stopped." Yesterday when I checked availability they seemed to have plenty of open seats, so I'm not really sure what the "stopped sale" means. I'm telling you, this whole thing is wrought with strangeness. *boggles*

- 20 days until my birthday!!! I'm of the firm belief that one ought to celebrate their own entrance into this world for not just a day but for their entire birth month. *nods* So, I'm officially on Birthday Month Revelry!!! \o/

- The workout with Trainer!Boy today included a good deal of boxing. It was one hell of a workout, but, man, did it ever feel good. Beating the shit outa something is better than therapy! *is fierce*

You're gonna hate me if I say out loud that my boys REALLY REALLY need a sweep in Arizona, aren't you? *g*

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! As much as I do indeed love Brian and Chipper and all your boys, this simply CANNOT happen! If, however, you can arrange for the Cards to sweep the Dodgers, then I may be able to settle for a split series. See? I'm willing to negotiate. *g*

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

How about the Braves win the three games that I'm there, but they're REALLY close nail-biters, and the Cards sweep the Dodgers? *g*

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

You'd have to throw in a guarantee that the Giants will win their series against the Dodgers this weekend. And maybe give me your seat on Brian's lap. *g*

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

Dude, if Lincecum pitches, the Giants are TOTALLY winning. And I'll share Brian. But you have to share Conor Jackson. *g*

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

As Lincecum was busy yesterday running roughshod over your boys, he, unfortunately, won't be doing the same to the Dodgers. But the idea of a shared spot on Brian's lap is appealing. And there's certainly enough of Conor to go around. So negotiations can resume on Friday when you get here. *g*

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

I approve of this plan. *nods*

It needs to be said again...

y'all need to come with a warning.

"Baseball fanatic, I WILL judge you"

Preach it, sister!! ;)

I am a big believer in the birthday month, myself, oh fellow Virgo o' my heart! Are you coming up here around your birthday--or anytime in this birthday month of yours--so that we may shower you with love? (And I can do the reading I owe you?)

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

It looks as if I'll be L.A. bound Labor Day weekend!!!

Happy Birthday month!! I had two weeks worth of birthday this year and it was great. I hope you have a lovely month.

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

This week is so, so so dragging slow. *sigh* Yay for getting rid of problem client, though. And yay for birthday month shenanigans!

That's weird about the tickets sales.

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

The venue tells me that the main act, Chris Cagle, has cancelled his show, but they didn't know at this point whether Christian was still going to perform. So, the weirdness continues. :-/

But much YAYness for all the rest...especially the baseball themed birthday shenanigans!!! Thank you, baby! ♥

And? It's practically Friday!!! This forever-long week will come to an end eventually!

[wendy.livejournal.com]

Sale stopped? SO STRANGE. I'm dying for the dirt here!

Also, YAY for almost birthdays! I'll never understand people who don't love birthdays. Every reason for celebration is worth paying attention to!

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

The venue tells me that the main act, Chris Cagle, has cancelled his show, but they didn't know at this point whether Christian was still going to perform. So, yeah, I just don't know. :-/

But YAY FOR BIRTHDAY MONTH CELEBRATIONS!!!!! I too don't understand folks who piss away their birthdays. It's YOUR day!!! If you don't celebrate YOU, who will????

Yup, the GK fic is slowing consuming my life (that goodness there isn't much out there yet otherwise I wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else). I haven't read Home yet. I'll have to get on that.

Birthday month celebrations ROCK!!!

We need to poke B to watch this show already!!! Because I REALLY want HER to start writing in this fandom!
