M’s: the sucking continues

Posted by harry on May 9th, 2008 — in Life As I See It

Nobody out, Beltre on 3rd, let’s end the 23 inning scoreless drought.
 
Nope. Richie Sexson grounds to third, Beltre out at home. Sexson to third with two outs, and Wlad strikes out to end the inning. The M’s fucking suck. They’ve loaded the bases a couple times in this scoreless streak, and fail to score. The […]

The M’s just suck

Posted by harry on May 8th, 2008 — in Besubaru

They’ve just lost to the Rangers, again, 2-0, because they can’t hit, and have no bench. Pitching has been excellent, and the M’s bats continually fail to get their backs. Felix pitched 8 innings of shutout ball against Baltimore, and the M’s lost that game. Tonight, Bedard pitches 7 innings of 2-run ball, and the […]

Stupid R800 printer

Posted by harry on April 25th, 2008 — in Life As I See It

The pros: good print quality.
The cons: too numerous to mention. The thing drinks ink, absolutely drinks it. With eight cartridges, it’s always running out of something, and those things are $14 a pop. And they’re hard to find: it’s not quite a consumer printer, so Staples and places like that don’t have them. I have […]

I’ve been doing other things

Posted by harry on April 11th, 2008 — in Life As I See It

I haven’t been posting, as you’ve noticed. Life has been a blur lately.
 
My mom died. I still can’t believe it. Work has been very busy. Politics has been crazy, and there’s nothing I believe I can say that hasn’t been said a million times already. Baby Sadie is doing well. Kids, Yats, they’re doing well. […]

Obama vs Clinton

Posted by harry on February 21st, 2008 — in Life As I See It

I usually reserve political posts here for my own ranting, but this diary at Daily Kos was one I found enlightening. It definitely puts the whole “experience” issue in a new light, along with the “can get things done in Washington” canard.

Congratulations on your victory, sir

You know it, I’m talking about Dave Niehaus winning the Frick Award. Well-deserved. He’s a great, great baseball announcer, and I miss getting to hear him like I used to.

10.5 gripes

Posted by harry on February 18th, 2008 — in Life As I See It

I’ve been running Leopard for a while, and now I’m ready to gripe about it. There are some rough edges that really cheese me off.

Dock syncing is fubar. Setting .mac to sync my Dock causes it to randomly scramble my dock icons. I have them in the order I want, and that order is the […]

The Flu

Posted by harry on February 18th, 2008 — in Life As I See It

Just got the flu, and spent all day in bed. Managed to avoid it while it raged about the office for the past couple of months, and just when it seems to have quieted down, bam, I’ve got it bad. The flu sucks.

Super Tuesday

Posted by harry on February 6th, 2008 — in Life As I See It

I really hate cable news. The commentators are inane, and their ability to make hay out of absolutely nothing is incredible.
I voted Obama in Massachusetts, and he did well. I can’t believe idiots like Pat Buchannan are talking as if he lost places like California, New York, and Chu, when in fact he showed really […]

Yeah, I sure do love religion

Posted by harry on February 4th, 2008 — in Life As I See It

My daughter came home from school a little upset, a couple days ago. One of her friends in the neighborhood told her at school that she hurts God’s feelings by not going to church.
You can’t know how much I think that sucks. Religion is, more than anything, a source of divisiveness in the world.
