Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I just set up a consultation appointment with the bariatric surgeon for the 19th, and I'm also going to an informational drop-in/support group meeting next Wednesday. My doctor told me yesterday that she'd be surprised if I had the surgery before the end of January, however, due to the level of appointments/tests/etc. that have to be done beforehand. If I do get accepted to the MLS program, I'll have to schedule the surgery around my class (laproscopic surgery means I could have a class on, say, Wednesday, surgery on Thursday, and still go to class the next Wednesday).

I love them.

And they really do GLOW IN THE DARK. They glow in dim lighting.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Yeah, wrod. You should hear them and their friends whine like toddlers for a month solid before and after anyone else wins a series.

Heh. As a resident of the Boston area I'm verrrry familiar with the whininess of baseball fans here too (and the sports fans in general). And now that we've had some seriously winning years recently, it's only gotten worse. At least before there was an Eyore-ish tone of fatalism to the whining; now it has an air of entitlement about it. Still not as bad as the entitlement of Yankees fans, though, IMO.

I love those boots. Would buy them if it weren't for this dratted trying to live within our means.

Mind boggling, isn't it?

I believe there are a few Yankees fans on the board, so be careful about broad generalizations!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Granted, I haven't been gone long, but I feel like New York douches are douchier than in most places. And Yankees fans have a higher proportion of douches than average for sports teams.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Seriously, the sore-looserness is getting fucking old.

I've been going to Yankee games with my family since before I could walk. Most of the faces I love I can picture in pinstripes. The firing of Joe Torre, the new stadium, its been a crazy last little while. It's been nine years since we won a series (guess we didn't bother to buy one?), and this is a treat. Just shake the other guy's hand and say, "Good game."
