Things are looking up for several reasons:
1. I got an e-mail from my mum asking me, if she were able to do it, from whom would I like an autographed All-Star baseball: Ozzie Smith, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, or Stan Musial? Er, WHAT?!!?!!?!? All are so awesome, but I already have an autographed Ozzie Smith ball, and I've met and talked baseball with him before. I ultimately told her I wanted one signed by Musial because one of my first memories of playing softball had to do with Musial, not to mention when my family and I were nearly run over by him at the home opener of the 1996 season. Plus, he's well old, so who knows how much longer I've a chance to get a ball signed by him, y'know? But God, I would love balls signed by Gibby and Brock, too. Next time.
2. Speaking of the Cardinals, they fucking swept the Cubs at Busch!! Yes! Perfect timing, too, as we have taken such a swan dive in the month of May, and have gone from a good distance in front in first to third. Now we're solidly in second to the Milwaukee Brewers (2.0 games back, Chicago is 4 back and in third). We open play against the KC Royals tonight. Should be a good series - it generally is.
3. The weather. It's so awesome right now. The only thing marring this is the fact that the river is flooded, and so there is no where for me to go and just lie on a beach since they're all underwater. Oh, well. I might take out my bike later and just ride aimlessly.
4. I might have a job as soon as Tuesday, which is fabulous! It'll be at Schnuck's, a local grocery chain. Not all that glamorous, but it's money, and it's at the new downtown location, so it's nearby and that location is supposed to cater to the loft district and all the rich young professionals that live there, or at least that's what I heard.
5.
fancynewgin and I are going to the midnight showing of
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince dressed up as the Black Brothers. I am so ridiculously excited for this =D =D =D.
6. There is something else I am really excited about, but I can't think of it right now as the other items on this list are just so awesome.
