Distracted By Something Shiny

1) CONGRATS TO RICK PORCELLO FOR HIS FIRST CAREER COMPLETE GAME!! That is quite a feat! He had a chance earlier this season, but they pulled him at the last second. This time around they had a big enough lead and he had a couple innings where he only threw like 7 or 8 pitches, so they let him go for it! All nine innings and Detroit took the win! With about 15 games left in the season - IT’S GO TIME!

( #2-4 under the cut. )

5) I’ve written 7,000 words since last Thursday! Holy crap, YES. This is good, because now I can watch a shit-ton of baseball this week and not worry that I am not writing enough. But…I NEED HELP FROM MY TEEN WOLF FLISTIES to get this fic in the bag! Can you guys answer the following questions (if there are canon answers to these questions): What color are Isaac’s werewolf eyes? What color are Derek’s werewolf eyes at the end of S3? How old is Isaac at the end of S3? Do we know what happens to werewolves when they get cut by a silver blade? THANKS, GANG!

Tomorrow I am hanging with The BFF and going to Outback Steakhouse with my girls! Then on Sunday I am catching up on comments and my Flist, so that on Monday I can jump feet first back into my mega-fic that is patiently waiting for me in the corner. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND, GUYS!!!

Let's start with baseball - and you should just be prepared for this to happen more and more often the closer we get to October. We have an ELEVEN game winning streak going on right now!!! Last night we went fourteen innings before taking the lead and the game. My boy, Don Kelly, is getting a lot of play lately too and that makes me happy. We just won three against Cleveland, which is good because they've been riding our asses all year. (I do miss the White Sox though - we had such a good battle last year, I'm sorry to see what a bad year they are having). Otoh, Nick Swisher is playing for Cleveland now, so it gives me a place to put my rage.

I've been watching 'Camp' this summer and omg, this show is SO much fun! Idk what about it is hitting all my buttons but I am enjoying the hell out of this little summer show! And I am now shipping Grace/Robbie like burning. I just wish the show did a better job of informing us how old the characters are, because we have a variety of age ranges on the actors, playing a mix of high school to college age kids, and it's hard to tell how old the characters are meant to be. But if Grace is 17 (and some throwaway lines indicate she may be) then shipping her with Robbie just got way less creepy than when I thought she was 15. God, Robbie needs to break up with Sarah. Grace would make such a good rebound relationship for him! Ugh, I Need It.

Also, ‘This Is The End’ has kind of ruined everything for me, in that it randomly pops into my head at inopportune moments. Like watching a SYTYCD routine with these gorgeous white costumes and this beautiful look to it and BAM, the final scene from ‘This Is The End’ popped into my head and ruined the whole thing! Thanks, Seth Rogen, thanks a lot. Also, I have been pulled into the sidelines of the Pacific Rim fandom this summer via The BFF and her tumblr and her rampant squee - (albeit totally deserving rampant squee) - and the other day I was flipping through a filmography on IMDB and one of the movies was 'Big Fat Gypsy Gangster'. I scrolled past it twice and each time I read the word 'gangster' as 'Danger'. I was insistent there was a movie titled 'Big Fat Gipsy Danger'. I completely blame The BFF for this. She's a ruiner. Ruiner, I tell you! Also, she accidentally left her car unlocked the other day and someone broke into it, rifled around and then stole her bag of dark chocolate M&Ms. That’s right - someone broke into The BFF’s car, left her GPS and her radio and whatever else she had in there and just stole her bag of M&Ms. I hope they ate too many and threw up afterwards!

Finally, my little brother & family are spending the night tonight so that my sister can go with them to Michigan Adventure amusement park first thing in the morning. Which means I will get the whole house to myself for about nine hours tomorrow! I plan to art, play my music super loud, get some writing in, spend the whole day in my bra and jeans, finish catching up on my TV, watch some baseball, sing at the top of my lungs and possibly post a fic. Enjoy your weekends all!
