Dancing With the Stars is starting tomorrow.

Yes, the Dancing With the Stars. The thing that consumed my entire spring and most of my summer in a glittery haze of enough tassels and spray-tan and exposed midriffs to make a pageant mama proud. I am most excited about Carson and Anna, and here's why, in a DWTS commercial it won't let me embed:

Oh, those SHOES!

There's another commercial with Kym, of I've-written-her-in-lots-of-porn-and-oh-yeah-she-won-last-season fame and her partner David Arquette of Little-Red's-teenage-crush fame (oh come on, you can't tell me you didn't want to get up on that in Never Been Kissed), but Kym doesn't throw a bitchface nearly as well as Anna does. She is pretty well naked in that dress from last season's near-death Argentine Tango Of Hot Sexy True Love, though.

Anyway, I'm totally going to liveblog the premiere tomorrow, so you should come visit my LJ at 8 pacific and tell me to drink more.

In other news, Ted Williams on a disco ball, the Red Sox have forgotten how to play baseball. I think we need Ben Sisko and the Prophets to come down and explain how this game works. ("You hit the ball in between these two white lines. It's linear!") I successfully drowned my sorrows in Tom Brady being an alien from Planet Quarterback. I never watch football games early in the season, but I've watched the Patriots play both weeks now because I have to watch Hines play for the Steelers in case he, I don't know, arranges for the jumbotron to flash a marriage proposal to Kym, and then I feel dirty for cheating on my boys in blue. So thank you, DWTS, for making me a full-season football fan, and therefore taking over even more of my week!

Dang, those Rangers can hit well.

At least it's not October. Pitching coaches, please work on this matter.

I mean, I'm totally writing my Big Bang right now and not watching baseball.

Sports!

LOL Red Sox. Did they really just end the game with a pickoff at 1st? NICE!

Also: Go Ducks! DIAF, Tigers! I think I've finally become a naturalized Oregonian.

As we head into the season for college football, the NFL, baseball playoffs, the NHL, maybe-possibly-NBA pre-season, and God only knows what else, I vote we have a meme so I know who flies what colors and who would rather put a stick in their eye than watch sports! So...

For each sport you follow, mark which teams you care about! Put your #1-fan teams in bold, put bandwagon teams/teams you only follow in the playoffs in italics, and put teams you hate in strikethru! Underline hometown teams. Any team you're going see or have seen in person this season, mark with an asterisk*!

Major League Baseball: Favorite sport by far! :)
Teams: Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees, Anaheim Angels
Minor League: Pawtucket Red Sox

NFL: I became a bandwagon fan after I left New England, but I'm determined to be more into it this year!
Teams: New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers (I hate myself, but... *sigh*), San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks.

College Football: It's the only damn sports thing that Portlanders get excited about.
Teams: Oregon Ducks (Pac 12), Michigan State Spartans (Big 10)

National Hockey League: I'm mostly a check-the-scores fan of hockey, but go any-Canadian-team!
Teams: Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadiens, Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers

NBA: I actually really dislike watching basketball, but it's our only major league team. And still, no one cares as much about this as they care about college ball.
Teams: Portland Trail Blazers*, Boston Celtics, LA Lakers

"Youk, Pap, Lester among early arrivals."

Okay, I'm getting a little excited.

Has anyone found an Olympics internet feed that isn't blocked in the US? I'm super engaged at work right now wanting to get maximum functionality out of my dual monitor setup.

ETA: HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] wildtiger7!!! Your birthday is now Official Let's Start Truly Gleeeing About The Red Sox Day. :)

The infamous Globe columnist and professional Boston sports buzzkill has declared that it is "Just no fun beating these New York Yankees anymore."

I beg to differ, Dan Shaughnessy.

And by that I mean, 8-0 in the season series, GLEE effing E!!!

I'm pretty sure this doesn't make me a bad person.

NESN announcers: "You've gotta make them pay."

(Talking about the Yanks bullpen walking the bases loaded with 0 outs, whatever, I still hear echoes of "nineteen-eighteen" when I look at PINSTRIPES)

YES. THANK YOU, RED SOX. YESSSSSSSSSS.

[livejournal.com profile] wildtiger7, SRSLY, Jason Bay is everyone's new Red Sox boyfriend. (Hmm, must be time to hop over to [livejournal.com profile] redsoxicons again...)

Also? I think this is the first time I have EV-ER seen a pitcher change in the middle of an at-bat. I DID NOT KNOW YOU COULD DO THAT. REALLY. I DID NOT.

Okay, I actually regret turning off the game last night, because fielders were pitching and pitchers were fielding and that's probably about as hilarious as a 13-0 loss can be.

I don't have a dreamwidth account, not so much out of personal politics or anything as that I am way behind the news curve and feel daunted by the idea of having to figure out something new. (My brain cells are kind of like Boston pitching yesterday -- scattered injuries, overworked, and getting lost somewhere out in left field.) Am I gunna lose all my frenz? DO U STILL LUV MEEEE?

I thought I had swine flu this morning, but then I ate a bagel and felt better. I can't decide if I want to freak out about this thinly spread epidemic or not. The numbers on the CDC site make it seem so bland that the cynic in me thinks this is all a big diversionary tactic, and next week we'll discover that we invaded England or something while no one was looking. However, CDC people also say "this could mutate and kill everyone in like ten seconds," so I will err on the side of not putting unsterilized objects in my mouth, nose or eyes.

I cannot get up the oomph to do a darned thing this week. I'm brushing up on my telekenesis by staring at the piles of to-dos on my desk and attempting to will them to do themselves.

What baseball alternate-universe have we stumbled in to? Seriously? Seriously? The Yankees are at the bottom of the AL East and the TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS are at #1!? (But if the Tampa Bay baseball team is at the top of the division and no one goes to their ballpark to watch it, does it still count?)

I mean, I know it's only May, so it's still assuredly just a statistical fluke, but it still confuses my sense of order in the world.

ALSO, I keep watching this clip of what Dan Lamothe of Red Sox Monster rightfully called the Mannyest play that Manny ever Mannyed in his Manny Being Manny life. I love everyone crowding around the monitor to watch the replay. <3 <3 <3 This is one case of awesome highlight reel TOTALLY trumps the fact that they lost the game.

And I love hearing the NESN announcers again. I miss NESN so hard.

I lost the game. Dammit!

happy day!

Wakefield is coming back to Boston! <3 (You understand the purely emotional gleee about this, right? Because he's Wakefield and such a trooper and is just, omg, has been playing for the Sox for 13 years already and gives me the illusion of roster stability!)

Wake is totally MY MVP. *cheers*

Oh, crap. Aren't I supposed to be getting on a plane or something? *goes*

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DEAR RED SOX: SIGN MIKE LOWELL!

I've been feeling pretty far from my beloved New England during this [awesome, unbelievable, omgwtfeeeeyay] post-season.

In which the Boston Globe harshes my buzz a little: A Dear John, and a love letter. )

[livejournal.com profile] jemster pointed out that I have not yet bombarded you with all-caps regarding how UNBELIEVABLY HOLY AWESOME the Red Sox are right now.

Have I forsaken My Boys? Is playoff success now old hat to me? Am I locked in a closet somewhere?

OMG NO, I AM JUST STILL REELING WITH SHOCK. <3 <3 <3

Reeling! With! Shockandjoy! )

The official major league baseball news kind of pwnz fandom right now at rpf slash:

Montero describes his relationship with Hernandez as "brotherly" and said it has been like a dream come true to work with the veteran. The pair dine together on the road and at home, play golf together and constantly call each other on the phone. Carpooling to work is not uncommon. Hernandez has even gone as far as to buy his "little brother" fancy suits and expensive clothes...

The title of the fanfic article is "MONTERO, HERNANDEZ MORE THAN MATES."

I LOVE EET. There's more, too, about how they make bets about designer shoes and stuff. I seriously need an icon to express an "actually, that's kind of gay" sentiment, because between Army Wives and my occasionally deviant little life and, apparently, mlb.com, I have lots of use for it. YAY WORLD. *cheers*

ETA: Did I mention they're pitcher and catcher? I love you, baseball, never change.

YAY!

Dear Red Sox:

I LOVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING BACK ON MY TEEVEE.

Also, Gagne? How the heck do you create such RIDICULOUS CRAZY TENSION in the ninth inning with a 10-3 lead?

Manny & Papi, I LOVE YOU NEVER CHANGE.

Dear Indians:

PLAY TROT NIXON. Thank you.

Sister and I decided last night that the dog's official name is Tessie the Rocket Dog. So when she tells me today: "I'm warming up to the name 'Laika'" is it wrong that I totally freaked out on her about how that will CURSE MY BASEBALL TEAM IN THIS POST-SEASON!? (Especially since the name "Laika" was my idea in the first place since she was the first doggie in space?)

*shrieks*

THE SOX WIIIIIIN THE PENNANNNNNNNT!!!!! OMFG!!!

*dances around in crazy delight*

I'd all-caps about that some more, but my application for doggie adoption was APPROVED and we are going to go meet the darling little Taiwanese puparoo on Sunday! I have validation that I might not suck as a doggie owner! And now that The Curse Has Been Lifted and she was not adopted out from under mi nose before I could even meet her (which: YAY! People are adopting doggies! *claps excitedly for world*)... pictures!

Kind of not the best pictures, but I think the general idea is that they took a German Shepherd, shrunk her in the wash, and then stuck her in a laundry basket, while she goes "... I am not entirely sure about this flashy thing you're flashing at my face." (except she says all that in Mandarin Chinese, natch).

New Arrival To Puppy Ellis Island )

I love it. A pocket-sized Shepherd. Personally, I think she's saying, "I'd like to sit in my basket and watch Star Trek with Little Red and her sister and the geek!rats!" Don't you?

Now that I've been validated as OMG, People With Credentials Will Totally Let Me Have My Very Own Dog, I'm a little nervous. Okay, very nervous. Because if I totally love this little doglette upon meeting her I just... omg! Will I be a good enough doggie master?

GOOOOO REEEEEDDD SOOOOOOXXXX!!!!

INSIDIOUS!

OMG. My Crazy Yankee Fan Coworker refuses to talk baseball with me until the Yankees win something.

What the-

YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME ROOT FOR THE YANKEES!

REFUSE! REFUSE!

Do they get extra brownie points in Yankee Heaven if they convert one of us?

Go Wake!
mylittleredgirl: (Default)
No! Trot! NOOOOOO!

Don't ask me how I manage to be surprised by trades that, like, the whole universe has known about for months. Apparently, denying the free-agentage of one's Red Sox Boyfriend can only go on so long.

Aw, hell, I guess I'm an Indians fan now.

Edit: Wait a second... I've got 3 red sox icons, featuring Nixon, Varitek and Foulke, all from The Golden Year. Foulke! Crap, I am an Indians fan.

The Oregon governor also-ran from this past election is totally writing up a contract ten feet from my desk! We all kinda squinted at him when he came in all, we've seen you before, and he was all, probably from all the campaigns on teevee [where people slung mud and such], and we were all, ooooh! Because it is rare people crawl out of the teevee and buy condos from us.

And Gabe Kapler is retiring, which isn't actually political at all. GAAAAAAAAAAABE!

Nothing else of interest happened today.
