ION, I love this photo.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
As a die-hard Marlins fan we're more stunned when we do well rather than expecting it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I didn't want to say it. Jinxes and whatnot.

Because books.
The Yankees winning this year has nothing to do with the Yankees winning decades ago.
But most people root for their city's team, or the city closest. And if you have two teams, like in baseball, you generally have one from each league, American and National. They have a few different rules. It's a tradition thing, partly. And years ago, teams didn't change up the roster as often as they do now.

I coughed! It doesn't count if I'm self-deprecating about it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Chicago. Cubs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did you know that certain universal physical constants lie within a very narrow range, so that if any of several fundamental constants were only slightly different the universe would be unlikely to be conducive to the establishment and continued existence of the Goat Curse?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was talking to a diehard Lakers fan the other day, and he was explaining to me how he can turn on the hate for a player as soon as he leaves the team, but only really hated one or two players while they were with the team.
Now, I can hate a player *because* they join a team (I'm almost like that wrt the Jazz, but if Grant Hill suddenly joined them I would just be sad), but suspend the hate because they're on my team? I'm not that loving a person. I've actually started disliking entire teams because the wrong player (coughShaqcough) joined them. Makes much more sense that way.
But that was back in the day. Shaq pretty much ran me out of basketball. Before he was all that, though, we had the Celtics and the Pistons and the Bulls and the nice Lakers, and cheering for those teams had continuity and a good fun feeling.
These days I'm just all about the tennis. Individuals make it much simpler.
My boss used a not-that-dirty word on a phone conference that I was on today, and I realise I'm a 9-5 prude. Maybe the dirtiest person at the krav centre, but get me in business casual and I clutch my pearls at the word ballbuster. I have no idea what that's about.

A great video of a drive through Chicago, mostly along Lake Shore Drive. Has a terrific soundtrack, too!
