Pinch Me, I'm Dreaming

I know I'm dreaming because I'm in heaven...Baseball Heaven. The much-maligned St. Louis Cardinals just won the World Mother Fucking Series. All complaints about the "World" part of it aside, (and considering the fact that only teams from the US play in this event, I have to agree that the title is misrepresentative) the national media and majority sentiment gave this team zero chance.

I was fortunate enough to go to 9 games this season. I was fortunate enough to watch all but 3 postseason games on TV. And let me tell you, I must be drunk to sayI was "fortunate" considering the obvious bias of the FOX announcers (and not necessarily in favor of Detroit, but more in favor of ANY OTHER team than the Cardinals), their pandering to the larger markets and thinly-veiled contempt of my home team. And I admit, I am a bit pissed. For you Americans, that means drunk in this context.

SO, without making even more of an ass of myself, I'll just conclude this post by congratulating my ridiculously awesome St. Louis Cardinals - especially my boy, David Eckstein (Scrappy Doo) - for taking it all, against all odds. I heart my St. Louis Cardinals. Every last one of you!

Stupid Saturn Rising

My horoscope today said that "my insecurity has taken on a life of its own". That's comforting. Now I remember why I quit reading horoscopes. Although, I thought I was just making the title up with this reference to Saturn rising, but as it turns out, my astrological chart really does say that Saturn is my ascendant planet right now. I'm super fucking in tune with my planets, so just keep that in mind. It's my secret weapon. In other news, have you ever had that problem where you have absolutely so much going on and so much to do, that you find yourself unable to start and complete one simple task? Take for instance, a blog post. I must have started writing on four separate posts in the last week, yet you can easily see nothing new posted in that time frame. I'm guilting on the fact that I haven't posted in so long. Generally, I wouldn't care so much - at least not enough to feel guilty about it - but the wicked knowledge that there are a few hardy sou

High Tide

On the Piney! About three days after we were there last, the banks could no longer contain the flood water and the river rose to about 10 feet from where our tent stood just a few days previously. I don't *think* The Lodge took on any water, but it would have been a really close call, and for those of you that don't know, The Lodge is easily a 150-ft. walk from the normal river bank. Photographic evidence: And I'm going to try this new-fangled video thing...we'll see if it works for anyone (8 Mb for a shorty):

Don't You Love it When...

...you get a new phone? I am bursting with pride over my new little friend. It sings to me and she retrieves my email...I love it so. The only downside is that I'm bound to become one of those people pretending to pay attention in a conversation but am actually checking my emails on my phone. But, I'm breaking it in with the firm assertion that I WON'T become one of those people addicted to their email. I'm not that important and I don't ever want to be that important. ...you have a party and the cops are called because people are having too much fun for stodgy suburbia? The third (or was it fourth) annual Jamexican party had probably it's largest turnout ever (thanks in large part to Anna and her party coordination skills) and I think everyone had a jolly good time. By the time the cops showed up to let us know there had been "several" noise complaints from neighbors (which maybe? I have a hard time believing since two of our five neighbors wer
