Life is busy and at the same time, I have nothing to say
I seem to be updating this every-other-day nowadays. I wonder if this is better or worse for people's friends pages?
Yesterday, Nick and I went to the Mariners game, and after a whole week in Seattle, he finally got to see the goddamn Mariners actually win a frickin' game. Even weirder, the Mariners swept the series from the Angels. Tim Salmon was there working out with the Angels though, and it was good to see him! He signed my poster. Angels poster final signature count for the year: 9. I should tally my baseball autographs in general at some point. I'm pretty proud of myself for not being completely frightened of players anymore. The sad part is, I think I've gotten around 20-30 guys to sign stuff for me, and absolutely none of them are Mariners (unless Jeff Clement counts...). I also ran into the crazy Mariners stalker lady from the airport two weeks ago! She was there with her other Mariners stalker friends, and recognized me and waved to me to come over and chat, so I did. It was pretty funny, they were saying how they'd cornered Richie Sexson earlier, and why didn't I show up before 5pm? Heh.
This morning I fell out of bed at 7:15am to take Nick back to the airport, and the dumb part is, by the time I drove him down there and drove back home, through all the traffic, and then showered and changed and got ready for work, I still didn't reach my desk until 10:15am.
I stayed at work fairly late though, and then I played volleyball tonight, after a two-week hiatus. I had a pretty good time. I served overhand for most of the night and after a rocky first game, got most of my serves over the net, even though very few would have gone past a ten-foot line. However, now I aaaaaaaaache. And tomorrow I'm going to go lift weights anyway.
Arr.
I'm pondering visiting Austin for Christmas or New Year's or something around then again, and maybe going to Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving again, depending. I suppose I'll have to talk things over with my mom when she's out here in a week or two.
Oh! And my friend Django (![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ketsugami, for those that don't know him) has his first published book "Memories of Empire" now orderable on Amazon, so here's the link to his book because I think it's cool! It's so exciting when someone from an old writing group is successful like this! :)
