“Why are you here?” general manager Billy Beane, all smiles and one-liners, asked several members of the media before the game. “The Giants have won 12 of their last 15.”
The Giants? Who are the Giants?
During the streak, Bay Area residents tied to the Giants have come unstrung.
Suddenly, they are two-timers, hopelessly smitten with the A’s.
there are probably those who will say that the oakland a’s are the current bandwagon in sports, and i have to agree. but come on. 20 wins, the most recent in spectacular fashion. you gotta love them.

Actually, she’s not that clueless, she just lacks confidence. But its funny none-the-less. Ok, maybe she is a little clueless, but she’ll figure it out.”
lacking cooking confidence is probably an accurate diagnosis. i don’t worry about anything when i cook for myself because i’m not a picky eater and because any stupid things i do are just between me and my kitchen. but when i cook for other people, i don’t want to end up making something gross!
anyway. i’m on a break from class and am already late getting back. off i go.
(5:57 p.m.)
i’m still at work, and i’m hungry. just finished updating the group webpage to comply with some nasa requirements. (i don’t know if our group page is viewable outside jsc or not, but i linked to it.) the requirements were sort of silly, but oh well, it had to be done. when i get back from scotland, i’m planning on revamping the entire group page for two reasons. one, there is nothing useful on there for anyone who is actually in the group. two, i think it is really hideously ugly.
on tap for tonight: packing, a quick trip to the drugstore, eating the last of the perishables in my fridge. sleeping. ahhhhh.
these past few days i have been very boring, in writing and in life. ugh.
