Ch-ch-changes!

Our apartment is in a state of disarray. Beginning tomorrow we are going to have random strangers in and out of our apartment as they are replacing all of our windows and doors for sound proofing.

It should be nice when it's all said and done because we live near an apartment and in the end unit of the building. So - we have people standing in the alley chatting a lot also.

However, in the meantime, it's going to be annoying as hell. We have to shut up Paige and Nolan in the bathroom while the workers are here. :(

We are trying to work it out to be here a couple of the days, but there is no telling if it will actually work. We'll see.

Good luck to the Braves tonight in Game 5 of the NLDS.

Homer of the Braves!

Yeah - I stole the headline from ESPN. After 13 years of playoff appearances, it is a little difficult to come up with a witty headline about them. Deal with it! ;)

Besides - a picture is worth a thousand words.

Red Sox looking 0-2 good!

The Red Sox are looking pretty good in the playoffs thus far. The Angels are a team that I enjoy watching and would be rooting for them if they were playing anyone other than the BoSox. They are dangerous and very good - however (superstitious Sox fans, don't read ahead) I just can't help but feel like this is the Red Sox year. Yeah yeah, everyone said that last year also. However, last year they didn't have Schilling, Foulke and even Bellhorn who adds a nice dimension to that roster.

I am standing behind my views of a Red Sox/Astros World Series - although I would LOVE to see a Red Sox / Braves series for obvious reasons.

I also found myself rooting quite passionatley for the Twins last night. If they went up 2-0 on the Yankees I would have been the happiest camper in the world.

That being said, I think that any Red Sox trip to the World Series that didn't go through New York would feel like a free pass.

One thing is certain in regards to the playoffs this year. In recent years I had saturated myself during the regular season in baseball and didn't really have any desire to watch the playoffs. This year is different. I had moderation in the baseball season and I am looking forward to the LCS and WS. If the WS goes 7 games, it will end on Halloween and the NBA season will LITERALLY begin the very next day.

Oh happy day. ;)

I meant to post these before yesterday's games - but didn't get around to it.

In any event, I can show you a thread on a message board where they are time stamped. :-P

ALDS:
Red Sox over Angels in 4
Twins over Yankees in 4

NLDS:
Dodgers over Cardinals in 5
Astros over Braves in 4

ALCS:
Red Sox over Twins in 6

NLCS:
Astros over Dodgers in 7

World Series:
Boston over Astros in 6

Life...or at least something that resembles it.

Well, it looks as if the Stephen and Anji show is staying put in Los Angeles at least for a bit longer.

We had looked into the possibility of moving back to GA and actually came pretty close to doing so. However, things in that regard didn't exactly work out as we had hoped they would and alas we are sticking around in La La land.

We are a little disappointed at not going as we were both looking forward to a fresh start - however we are doing our best to try and take the positives with it.

We have been treating the last week as if it were New Years or something. Starting Saturday morning we will once again start going to the gym. I am finally going to take golf lessons as I have wanted to do for a while and I have been a vegetarian for about 3 and a half days now! w00 h00!

We'll see how it works out, but the most important thing for me right now is that the holding pattern is off and life...or at least somethign that resembles it, is back in motion.

R.I.P. Janet Leigh

I was very saddened to wake up this morning and read about the death of Janet Leigh.

As a huge fan of horror/suspense/thriller films, Janet Leight in essence was the "Grandmother of the Genre."

Leigh was most known for her timeless shower scene in Psycho as well as being Jamie Lee Curtis' mother.

Holding Patterns...

You know that obnoxious feeling that you get when after flying for several hours your final destination is in the sights out the small airplane window yet you know you still have a fair amount of time remaining as you circle around before you land? That is feeling that I have had for the past two months.

Lately, my "flight" has included some turbulance and I may even be routed to a new airport for landing, but one way or the other I should be parked at the gate pretty soon and all of this will be more clear.

I am not even goign to explain what this is in reference to, because no one reads this anyway. ;)
