You're Not a Worrywart If the Bad Things Really Happen

A friend of mine and I have a standing get-together. Every Saturday night she comes over and we watch that week's Supernatural or Doctor Who, depending on what TV season it is.

Last Saturday, she didn't show up. I called her, but got her voicemail. I emailed her, but didn't get any response. I told myself, "She's probably camping, and forgot to tell me about it." I reassured myself: "She's fine, you just panic too easily."

But guess what? She wasn't fine. She was in the hospital.

She's ok now, but still!

Quote of the Day: Linda Holmes

From her Monkey See post "Five More Fictional Beings Bella Swan Should Fall Madly In Love With":


I have always said that it seems like an impressive coincidence that Bella Swan — of Twilight fame — had one boyfriend who was a vampire, and then found another one who was a werewolf.

In the same town. I mean, what are the odds? There are towns in the United States where running into both a Unitarian and a Presbyterian at T.G.I.Friday's would make you think, "Hey, this place is quite a bit more diverse than I thought!" But Bella found a vampire and a werewolf. In a row. In high school.

So Far, So Good

They're playing San Antonio tonight, but without Sue Bird. I'm watching it live on my computer (as opposed to watching the archived video), so hopefully my online-curse won't affect the game.

We're up by nine at half-time, so I guess it's ok.



ETA: Does it seem strange to anyone else that it counts as a rebound when you get your own missed shot back?

Hardison: Well, somebody's got to fight the injured. Shoot, that's my niche!

Quote of the Day: Richard Cohen

I don't usually do quotes from the same source so close together, but I couldn't resist. In this article, he was discussing his picks for the WNBA All-Star game. They're doing this weird WNBA vs. Team USA thing this year, but at the end he gave his picks for a normal East vs. West All-Star game:




West starting lineup:
-Sue Bird (Seattle Storm)
-Diana Taurasi (Phoenix Mercury)
-Swin Cash (Seattle Storm)
-Camille Little (Seattle Storm)
-Lauren Jackson (Seattle Storm)

Bench
-Becky Hammon (San Antonio Silver Stars)
-Tanisha Wright (Seattle Storm)
-Penny Taylor (Phoenix Mercury)
-DeWanna Bonner (Phoenix Mercury)
-Sophia Young (San Antonio Silver Stars)
-Rebekkah Brunson (Minnesota Lynx)

Yes, four starters from the same franchise. Have you seen how badly the rest of the West stinks?

Moving Right Along

I'm worrying about Sue Bird again. I need a pick-me-up. Thus:

Storm vs. Tulsa

Remember when I said I shouldn't watch games online? Yeah, I'm starting to really believe that.

I'm halfway through watching today's game against the Tulsa Shock (aka the worst team in the league), and we're losing by 10 points. Worse yet, Sue Bird has spent most of the game in the locker room with her bad knee.

I'm cursed, I tell you, cursed!



ETA: Under a minute left, and we're up by about 10, so it looks like we're going to win this. (Whew!) It was a much tougher game than it should have been, though! The (Tulsa) color commentator mentioned that one of the reasons Seattle won was because they didn't panic, they just kept chipping away at Tulsa's lead.

Fun fact: Former track & field Olympian Marion Jones is playing for Tulsa -- and doing quite well!

Un-fun fact: Sue Bird only played a couple of minutes because of "lower back pain". That's not good. :(

Storm Fan Manners

One of the nicest things about Storm fans is how they cheer for former players and coaches.

The Indiana coach, Lin Dunn, was the Storm's first coach. One of the stars of the Indiana team, Tully Bevilaqua, used to play for the Storm. When their names were announced last night, they got applause from the fans at Key Arena.

Whenever L.A. comes to Seattle, the fans cheer for former player Betty Lennox (and her brother, who comes to games in super-fly suits).

It's really nice to see such a warm welcome, instead of boos or silence.

Quote of the Day: Firefly

From "Serenity" (episode 1.01, not the movie):


Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can...how do I know you won't kill me in my sleep?

Mal:
You don't know me, son, so let me put this to you plainly: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake. You'll be facing me. And you'll be armed.

Simon: Are you always this sentimental?

Mal: I had a good day.

Simon: You had the Alliance on you, criminals and savages... half the people on the ship have been shot or wounded -- including yourself -- and you're harboring known fugitives.

Mal: We're still flying.

Simon:
That's not much.

Mal:
It's enough.

Darrin:

Geoffrey: It's not an apology.

Zodiac

Today at work, NewBoy mentioned he was "into" astrology, and tried to guess what sign I was.

He suggested a sign. I said no.

He suggested another sign. I said no.

He suggested another sign. I said no.

He suggested another sign. I said no.

He said he felt like I was an "air" sign, and finally guessed two of those.

Those were wrong, too.

I finally told him my sign (Sagittarius -- a "fire" sign), and asked him what it said about me. He told me Saginttariuses were talkative, always going from one thing to the next, and had short attention spans.

Here's my question: If that describes me so well (which, to be fair, it kind of does), why didn't he guess Sagittarius first? Or even at all?

[That question is rhetorical, by the way. I already know the answer.]

Quote of the Day: ABBA

Because my Dad had it stuck in his head during our Father's Day Hike. :)



"The King Has Lost His Crown"


I believe your new girl turned you down
And they say she's pushing you around
How does it feel, I guess it hurts your pride
Tell me my friend how many nights you've cried

Disaster and disgrace
The king has lost his crown
Suddenly
He's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown

Was it hard to step down from your throne
And to know tonight you're all alone
Oh what a shame, you really want that girl
She doesn't care, still you just dream of her

Disaster and disgrace
The king has lost his crown
Suddenly
He's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown

Disaster and disgrace
The word is all around
Suddenly
He's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown

Quote of the Day: Television Tropes

From the entry on the states of the U.S. (although the entry has changed since I copied this down in January 2009):


OREGON:

Known in some parts of the nation as being in the sticks thanks mainly to the fact that most people haven't paid any attention to Oregon since the Oregon Trail ended in 1869. Famous for the Oregon Vortex and the only State to have a flag with two different sides. Also one of the few to have minted their own money. Oregonians are fond of correcting outsiders who pronounce the name of the state "or-uh-gon". It's "or-uh-gin" (with the hard "g" sound) and don't you forget it!

* Known as the Mexico of Washington, the Canada of California (and, frankly, the political and social climate is pretty damn Canadian, which is probably another reason no one gives a damn about it), and, thanks to the Colbert Report, the Portugal of Idaho. This is the closest the state has ever come to being paid anything resembling attention.

Sue Bird

Sue Bird injured (or rather, re-injured) her knee in last night's game. Let's all think good thoughts, ok? And to aid us, here's some video of Sue Bird being awesome:


Her (accidental) half-court shot:



I love how she, LJ, and Diana Taurasi are all laughing about it.


In this game, she hadn't scored a point all night, but they still gave her the ball when they HAD to make the basket. Did she make it? Of course!




Finally, here she is, playing H-O-R-S-E against a Seattle sportswriter:



Here's what he wrote about that game.

I'm Glad I Don't Watch the Weather Channel

My friend (and fellow manager at work) was visiting her family in Minnesota this last week. On Thursday, a massive tornado ripped through her hometown (Wadena). This ABC video mentions her town at 0:45. The stop sign shown at 0:55 looks like the one in a picture she showed me today. If it's not the same exact stop sign, it's one just like it.

No one in her town died, but something like 25% of the town was destroyed, including the high school, community center, hockey rink, and swimming pool. Her mom's house (where she was at the time) lost of chunk of the roof and a tree went right through the wall of the garage, into the engine block of her mom's car. She's still pretty shaken by the experience.

I'm glad I don't watch the Weather Channel or national news. I know the name of her hometown, and I knew she was there on Thursday. If I'd heard about it before she got back, I would have been very worried about her!

Jeffrey Donovan:
It's taking its toll. I blew out my arm the first year. I cut my arm second season. Third season, an explosion burned my eyebrows off. This season I got a herniated disc. [Turns to Feuerstein] Now, when you grab a scalpel, do you ever, like, pull your wrist?

Bad Mac Habits

Recently I've been having some problems with the computers at work. I would try to open some documents, and they just wouldn't open. I finally had a chance to ask our resident computer dude about it, and he figured out the problem: I was trying to open too many documents at once. I would just double-click on all the documents I wanted to open, and our old computers (Windows + Open Office) just couldn't handle it.

The computer dude said to me, "Is that how you open things on your Mac?" And the answer is.... YES! Yes, yes, YES. Because my Mac is not a pile of poo, and it can handle things like opening more than one document at once and changing the names of documents while they're still open.
