Thoughts.

I will kill you, bijoux, if this strange tickle in my throat and leaky faucet nose develops into anything more serious.

Flashback to one of my fave quotes from this weekend: "Damn you and your even-temperedness!" That had me snickering while I was weighing out my sodium hydroxide.

Can you believe that our lab doesn't have any SDS? It's like saying that a bakery doesn't have flour.

And...

I'm going to watch Derek Lowe and the Dodgers take on Dontrelle Willis and the Marlins. Eric Gagne has yet to get a save. Please Please Please let it be tonight. I know that Willis is doing frighteningly well, but dangit, if Bartolo Colon can snap Santana's winning streak, I say Lowe can take on Willis.

*sad, pathetic Crystal*

YAAAAAAY!

Totally awesome game tonight. Not only did the Dodgers dominate, they let Gagne pitch!

Wasn't a save situation; I was really worried they weren't going to let him pitch because of that; it made me feel all weird during the 7th and 8th innings because I wanted the Marlins to score the narrow the margin, and then I didn't want the Dodgers to score too much...*gah*

But they let him pitch anyway, though the score was 14-5.

And he was magnificent. No home runs like on Saturday: 2 Ks, and he caught the other fly out.

And I'm just so incredibly happy. It's silly, but I'm just so happy.

I'm only sad that I didn't get to see him get a save!

It was a great game. We went with 8 other friends, and there was a family of 5 sitting in front of us, the three boys (between ages 5 and 8) were adorable. One complely adored Jeff, and just watched him with wide eyes, and asked him ten bijillion questions. He even started poking at Jeff's shoes, and wanted to take a picture of Jeff. Jeff looked completely goofy in his Cardinals hat and his glasses and totally old and ratty T-shirt, and tried to get the kid to take pictures of the guys out on the field (i.e. "Jeff Kent...now there is a guy you want a picture of!") but the kid just loved him anyway. Jeff teased him and kidded around with him and they were just so great together. (I just love how he interacts with kids...he's going to be a great dad one day)

So all in all, a pretty fine evening :)
