MOOOOORE ORANGE JUICE

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

this Cubs/Diamondbacks game is already sloppy

lol Cubs. KILL THE DIAMONDBACKS!!!!

I'm so tired, but I can't sleep.

Standing on the edge of something much too deep.

Yeah, I don't know why I'm singing Sarah McLachlan either.

orange juice is freaking delicious

Yummy.

ALASIA GOT KICKED OFF????

Thank you, Jesus!!!!

hace frio.

Seriously, is it near May or October?

strangely prescient...

I want some Chinese food so badly.

Sooooo badly.

so tired.

I keep waking up at like 7 for various reasons. Not good.

coconut M&Ms...

they exist, and they seem gross...

horrifying thought

I was reading the NYYFans archive, and I found a thread from 2006 suggesting the Yankees trade A-Rod to the Angels for three very highly touted prospects at the time:
- Brandon Wood
- Jeff Mathis
- Nick Adenhart

Yeah this would have been a bad move. I mean... Adenhart probably wouldn't have been in that horrible car crash and he might develop into a very good pitcher, but... wow. If I trade a player of A-Rod's caliber, I want the entire fucking top fifty of Baseball Prospectus' top prospects.

YAAAAY

ANTM's photos this week are non-busted. That is exciting.

I could watch Fuse for hoooours.

And often do.

holy CRAP

The Yankees lost to the Orioles tonight. That was bad. But it could be worse. Here is Trevor Hoffman's line tonight:

BS, 1 IP, 4 H, 1 BB, 0 K, 5 ER, 2 HR vs. Pirates

Also, Zack Greinke has a 2.56 ERA on this young season. He is winless.

I just got a Twitter

Am I a tool now?

oh no.

Why do I have this like bump on my lip? I don't really ever do anything except stay inside and look for jobs and run on a treadmill and sometimes post in this here blog thing. I do not deserve this. Booo.

wow. So many feelings.

Part of me thanks whoever put Pettitte in that position and the other part of me is like WTF. Also, is Jorge... like... not really grabbing Mo's leg? Come on Jorge, the only thing sillier than this positioning is half-assing this positioning.

One thing is for sure: Jeter will clearly have no part of this ridiculousness.

well this is bad

I think my chair is like breaking. boooooo

yet another

What a handsome team.

double awesomeness.

lol Michael Kay was there

all there really is to say

Obama + Yankees = OMGGGGG AWESOMENESSSSSS

commercials annoy me.

I just saw a Nivea commercial where this girl puts the lotion on her legs then goes out in a miniskirt to hang out with her boyfriend. Only problem? Her boyfriend is riding a motorcycle. But she just hops up on that thing. NO ONE DOES THAT IN A MINISKIRT!!!!

WOW, WHAT?

Ke$ha wears her own placenta as a necklace?!?

what I want you got.

and it might be hard to handle.

so many posts in April!

here's another one.

baseball players are super dumb :\

If you weren't watching the Fox game this afternoon, before the game, they had this little montage of baseball players/managers being asked their answer to the question of which one player all-time they would take to start a franchise. Let me repeat that: which one player all time. All time. ALL TIME. ALL TIME. Did I say that enough?

Only one player picked Babe Ruth. Only one picked Willie Mays. Only one picked Hank Aaron. No one picked Ted Williams. No one picked Ty Cobb. No one picked Barry Bonds. No one picked Mantle, Musial, Gehrig, Wagner...

TWO PEOPLE PICKED JOE MAUER. FREAKING TWO!!!!!!! Now, Joe Mauer, provided he stays healthy and/or doesn't fall off a cliff based on nothing or wearing down, is going to have an amazing career at an absolutely premium position. BUT HE IS NOT THE GREATEST BASEBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME. YOU ALL ARE REALLY DUMB.

Andy Pettitte picked Mariano Rivera. Now Andy is very sweet in doing this and he warms my heart and all, but c'mon, Andy, he's a relief pitcher.

JONATHAN PAPELBON made more sense than these people in picking Cy Young. SERIOUSLY!

also...

the choir today ._. Good lord bad life decision.

it probably ain't gonna last very long but...

Andy Pettitte: American League ERA leader.

Yes plz.

I luuuurve...

"Bohemian Rhapsody." Yesss.

BEJEWELED, YOU'RE KILLING ME

They have these new pop-up ads for kitty litter and it stops the stupid game. Grrr!

ughhhhh

I have to wake up soooo early tomorrow to go sing about Jesus whyyyyy

Carlos Gomez is a goddamn moron.

Just wanted to remind everyone.

aargh my dad

He totally guilt-tripped me into participating in a choir for this guy I'm like 90% convinced is his boyfriend or something like that (I'm not being serious, but my dad talks about this guy so much and it's irritating). Except I haven't sung in like three years and it's freaking like choir soul music. I am a tiny white person who had an annoying squirrely voice when I could sing. Aargh this is going to be awful.

Bejeweled.

I think I've been playing this for like six hours straight agh.

The Office lately.

It's so boring now. :( Like, I care... and it's funny... but I... don't care...

I will say people whining about the whole Andy/Erin thing are completely obvious Jim/Pam fans who are just annoyed they don't get the screen time the former do now.

do you even have to ask?

My answer is obviously: Just one night with Andy Pettitte. Okay, A-Rod himself wouldn't be too bad if Andy couldn't make it. ;)

just wondering

Has there ever been a beer commercial that wasn't at least vaguely horribly insulting to women?

oh, woot.

there's actually a new Office tomorrow/tonight.

a slight hat tip to tonight's ANTM

I totally, totally thought Alexandra was going home tonight. It was really obvious. So much so, that I actually gasped when they called her name as safe.

At least I don't have to look at Anslee and her sour face any more, yay.

my thoughts on tonight's game

:3

The only good thing about losing Pettitte for those three years.

oh wow!

A song! By Justin Timberlake! I didn't know he did music any more!

nyyfans.com is hysterical

I'm pretty sure they blame every bad thing that ever happened to the Yankees on Dave Eiland. They sound like children because their hatred of him is so pure, complete, and irrational.

oh wow I didn't even talk about last week's ANTM

So, Cover Girl photos. No explanation, because they're so bad and not worth it boooo.

Tonight's photoshoot, which got released already, is much better than this one, thank God.

(amusing note: I blanked out and had originally written "is much better than God." That was up for a couple of hours. WHOOPS!)

7/11 is making beer?

That sounds....... repulsive.

aaarghhh

West Coast baseball trips ;_;

My God.

"Flashing Lights" is such an awesome song. I really do love Kanye West. Musically speaking of course... and, okay, when he makes Taylor Swift cry.

it's official.

Letters to Juliet looks like maybe the worst movie ever. And NOW they have an ad with Taylor Swift, making it even WORSE.

I have bad taste in music.

I've been listening to a "Black Eyed Peas" station on Pandora for like four hours now. Bad.

baseball's leaders, April 4-April 19

a conversation with my dad.

Dad: I heard a song the other day.
Me: Okay. What song was it?
Dad: I don't know. It was by a guy with a hat, though.
Me: Okay...
Dad: What's that song called? You know, right?
Me: ?????

TONGUE.

Stubble. Eyes. Cheekbones. Neck. I want. Badly.

cheese is the best

I just wanted to let everyone know that.

and speaking of baseball!

So today I didn't really have time to watch the game. I saw the first three or so innings, where Pettitte looked like he was really laboring and gave a lead back.

Of course, I missed him pitching EIGHT INNINGS of two-run ball! Seriously. Go, Andy!!!!

things I don't care about but have to deal with anyway

- people whining about Joba. STILL
- people's fantasy teams

aargh

My new Chapstick has a like sharp nub on the lip or whatever you call it and it scrapes my lip whenever I use the Chapstick. SO ANNOYING

it's FREEZING!!!!

This changing weather is NOT GOOD for my cold that WILL NOT DIE.

fitting

I put on the TV and the Gwen Stefani "Underneath It All" song is on. That's for my boyfriend who deals with all my crap including letting all the internets know about my sex dreams about professional baseball players :)

my dad is so weird

He won't stop talking about Madonna. Seriously...

wowww

So I've had a very long couple of days and I was trying to go to sleep and I just had an incredibly vivid dream about Alex Rodriguez (seriously, A-Rod?) that actually woke me up. Wow. Yeah... it's bad.

Date Night

it's actually much funnier the second time around. And it was pretty funny the first time.

feminism means

tut-tutting over guys saying girls are hot or not when your entire blog objectifies dudes and then attacking girls for saying celebrities you personally like because you think they're cool are ugly, or something

songs in my head

cuz it's me, you, you, me, me, you, all night
have it your way, foreplay
before i feed your appetite

okay, cold

It's time to go away now. Te odio.

something else very tasty

I want to lick Andy's neck in the worst way. And the bulging, sweaty arm? Unnnnffffff.

Sorry, it's late and I clearly need sex or something. Wow, did I say that?

oh, man

the Dodgers feed always has food commercials for like El Pollo Loco, which looks insanely delicious. Except it's 12:30 AM. And there's like nothing to eat in my house. Booooo!

AAAAH

Why every time when my dad comes over does everything turn into like some horrible adventure

aarrghghhhh

My brain is in such a fog lately (job searching... personal shit... baseball when I have time to watch it......) I forgot to watch ANTM again. Whatever, it'll be online later. And I'm not gonna get to watch Top Chef Masters. Though that's Bravo.

HMMMMMM

AOL headline: "Why the Tea Party just can't shake the racist label"

WELL GEE I HAVE NO IDEA IT'S NOT LIKE 95% OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE TERRIBLY RACIST AND USE OPENLY RACIST SHIT TO GET THEIR MESSAGE ACROSS

aaargh

It seriously feels like I have some horrible clog in my throat. Sorry, you all obviously wanted to know that.

what a wonderful home opener :)

The wonderful ring ceremony, Andy ruling, Posada and Nick Johnson ruling, Jeter absolutely killing a ball, Mo with the save. Woot.

Well, David Robertson didn't rule. But if you're gonna have a meltdown, it's best to have it when your team has a six-run lead.

oooh!!!

Old Sex and the City episodes. Like, when Miranda had the world's worst hairdo. Good lord, could she look more unattractive? Poor Cynthia Nixon.

augh dammit

ANTM-link-I-was-watching-online FAIL. Well, I know Tatianna got kicked off... boo?

um, wow

Jessica just outperved Nigel by a lot.

okay I know Nigel Barker is a sleazebucket...

but he's really hot. Dammit.

I love orange juice.

Yummy.

you might not actually be a baseball fan if

you say "Albert Pujols will have to go elsewhere other than St. Louis to win a World Series." Um?

oh wow

I still haven't watched last week's ANTM, oops.

I love Joe Mauer.

Dreamy. Also, hilarious.

I saw Date Night

It's adorable. Tina Fey and Steve Carell are all kinds of awesome as you might expect.

I HATE that I like the song "Burn It to the Ground." It's Nickelback... ughhhhh.

oh my God what

The best part of this is Mo in the background (aaah Mo without a shirt that's just weird =/) trying desperately not to laugh

BEING SICK SUCKS

I have literally sat on the sofa wrapped up in a blanket for like 75% of today. Waaaahhhhh

House is really bad

How do people watch this?

I haaaate

when colds kill my social life. boooooooo

also I have the sniffles.

Grrr boo hiss.

boy my night sucked.

Had nothing to do with the Yankee game though it didn't really help. Therefore, the highlight of my night is this:



I wish I could smack Andy Pettitte's ass whenever I wanted to.

rather unsurprisingly...

Amy Adams looks great pregnant. Probably because she's Amy Adams and she's awesome and all that.

woot?

New SATC 2 trailer. (it's at the bottom)

Nice song choice ;)

I can't even be bothered to say anything about these ANTM photos.

So I'll just rank 'em:

1. Jessica
2. Brenda
3. Raina
4. Alasia
5. Anslee
6. Krista
7. Alexandra
8. Tatianna
9. Angelea

naaaahhhhthaaaang on tv.

boooo

oh greeeeatttt

I can FEEL MYSELF getting sick. YAAAAAY.

Oh holy crap. Again.

I just... I...

it's sooooo lovely.

good lawd

the ANTM photos from last night are just not very good, again. I will make snarky comments on them later.

I may have said this before, but...

I love Andrew Eugene Pettitte. I hate to talk intangibles, but he's a winner in every way. Seriously, he had nothing early on last night, was apparently dealing with a terrible case of whiplash from that collision with Ellsbury, the umpire was squeezing him like no other, and he still pitched a really great game and made the pitches when he had to.

Also, my heart just about melted when he wanted to know if Youkilis was okay. And that fist pump after striking out Ortiz was hawt.

oh crap =/

totally forgot about ANTM last night grrr. It'll be online soon though, so yay.

I hope Joel Sherman feels bad

Suck it, Joel. Suck. It.

insaaaane in the membraaaane

that's my life right now aljlasjg.g. Sorry for the lack of posts.

my tummy is unhappy

Booooo. :(

okay. calmed down.

I'm not watching Project Runway any more, if you guys couldn't tell.

HOLY SHIT

IS THIS THE REAL LIFE?
IS THIS JUST FANTASY?

CAUGHT IN A LAAAAANDSLIDE...

SERIOUSLY DOES THIS PICTURE REALLY EXIST AND IF SO HOW DID I NEVER SEE IT BEFORE?!?%#%%?

the most annoying thing about my dad

is when he discovers some new doodad like Pandora radio, Facebook, or Twitter, and asks me like 5028068068 questions about it.

Vampires!

Good lord this photoshoot was so bad. :( I don't feel like getting into a ton of detail on this photoshoot, because of the badness.

1. Brenda: This is Brenda's first truly fierce photo since the first one. She doesn't look all weirdly cut up, I love her face, and the way she's playing with that guy's hand is awesome.
2. Jessica: I'm not crazy about her mouth here. That's a weird thing to nitpick, but it's true. However, the rest of the picture is pretty good. I get a True Blood/Kristen Stewart vibe, and that's not exactly a bad thing for this photoshoot.
3. Raina: Her eyes are completely wonky, and I'm surprised no one commented on that, and I hate the fact that one leg is completely missing. But she's got a great pose and I love the action.
4. Alasia: CLOSE YOUR LEGS. But, I like her passion.
5. Simone: The judges really unfairly ripped on this, IMO. How surprising, I am biased toward the amazing goddess that is Simone. Anyway, it's not a great picture. I see a little awkwardness and stiffness, to be sure. But I like her pose and I see a connection with her and the guy.
6. Anslee: I don't like how she cut off her legs, at all. But you know what, I actually love how she's gripping the edge of the tub. It gives this picture some oomph.
7. Alexandra: Her face is weird and her legs/other limbs look all distorted.
8. Angelea: What? It's just not a very good angle on her face.
9. Tatianna: Hate how all her limbs look like stumps, HAAAAATE her face.
10. Krista: Dude, you could at least TRY.

I tiiiired.

I'm gonna go take a nap now. Yes, now.

BASEBALL.

It's really wonderful to watch. :)

Albert Pujols on track for a mere 324 HRs.

I need to chug some water.

Yeesh.

PANIC!!!!!

meh not really. Hitting was there, bullpen will be there.

I just cannot deal with Yankees/Red Sox this early on. Yeesh.

dear Bravo,

You should bring back Make Me A Supermodel. That show ruled. Though no one from it went anywhere in the modeling world :( I really thought one of Sandhurst, Branden, or Jonathan would have at least a decent career...

READY TO DEFEND IT.

That's all.

a visit to Yankee camp

Bif > this Andy person but it's still funny. Texy!!

Also ughhh Andy Pettitte in a t-shirt and shorts, I can't decide whether this means I'm going to have nice dreams tonight or whether I won't be able to sleep because of it. Oh Andrew, the things I would do to/with you...

CC Sabathia seems like a really good person and that makes me happy =)

ETA: This was originally titled "Letterman visits Yankee camp" and then I realized that was untrue and changed it. But my mistake remains in the title of this post. Boo.

Not tired. Can't sleep.

Blah I say. Blah.

Vin Scully has a big crush on Bobby Abreu.

eom

ewww

I had a huge dinner tonight. And I'm gonna have a huge lunch/dinner tomorrow. Stop it, fatty.

pardon my French but FUCK.

This now makes ESPN EVEN WORSE!!!!

not that I don't like you I'm just at a party

And I am sick 'n tired of my phone r-ringing...

you stop that, Jack Curry

Well this made me depressed.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I really can't stop laughing at this

yeesh

I think the Yankees have the Spring Training equivalent of senioritis.

AARRGHGHGHGHGH

A truly loud and annoying car alarm has been going on outside my house for about ten minutes.

well this is unpleasant

My arm is all numb. :(

Jon Heyman is just bad

a new article

So here are his "surprise teams" to watch:
Tampa Bay Rays
Colorado Rockies
Minnesota Twins
Atlanta Braves
Arizona Diamondbacks
Cincinnati Reds
Cleveland Indians

His reasoning is mostly a lot of bullshit based on Spring Training stats, especially his jizzing all over the Rays (who are a very good team, don't get me wrong, but calm down Jon). But seriously, the Rockies and Twins made the playoffs last year. How would those teams "surprise" you in 2010? The Rays were in the World Series two years ago and had a rough year in a really awesome division last year, and still finished above .500. The Braves were... I want to say 86-76? and made a serious push at the Wild Card and division toward the end of the season. I'll give him the final three, even if they're just generally based on him blabbing on about ST. The Indians' top three starters are Jake Westbrook, Fausto Carmona, and Justin Masterson. ST don't mean shit, to quote LaTroy Hawkins; that's a bad rotation.

Also, I seriously want to fucking punch him in the face for going on about "a scout says... a NL executive said..." I really hate that shit. It says nothing. For one thing, we don't know if a scout actually said it, or if you just made it up. And also, even if a scout did say it, we don't know that there's not a scout that said something diametrically opposed to that thing. Agh!!!

Sorry, I'm apparently disproportionately angry over this.

I have forgotten to mention...

The new ANTM intro is hot. The music makes me want to rock out, kinda.

- Tyra looks good
- Raina is freaking gorgeous here
- I can momentarily forget how skanky and annoying Brenda is and concentrate on how bad her makeup is
- I MISS YOU SIMONE YOU GORGEOUS DUKE-ATTENDING CREATURE
- ugh that makeup is such a no on Tatianna but she's actually okay
- Alexandra is just a really pretty girl.
- Krista is odd-looking
- LOVE JESSICA.
- Naduah still weirds me out
- Alasia... gross
- Gabrielle looks like an alien and that's cool.
- Anslee's face looks very strange and square-ish...
- as much as I hate to say it, Ren looks amazing.
- Angelea is skank.

another note about ANTM

Krista has a weirdly-shaped head.

Brenda from this cycle of ANTM

is the only redhead on ANTM that I do not love, at least as far back as I can think. GOOD LORD SHE IS ANNOYING. And I feel like she's getting a winner edit. Oh no. =/

parents are weird

My dad called me because "[he] was in the neighborhood and wanted to take a nap." Weirdo.

remind me...

not to believe anything I read for the next like 24 hours or so. Thanks.
