mecrury sent me this link from Yahoo! News - Foul Ball Cubs Fan Inspires Hollywood Movie Idea
26 year old Cubs Fan Steve Bartman - must be one of the most despised men in Chicago, right about now….
(09:20:09) queenkv: neato
(09:21:30) queenkv: wasn’t there an interference call?
(09:21:33) queenkv: or something similar?
(09:21:45) mercury: when a fan touches a ball, the ball is declared “dead”
(09:21:55) queenkv: oh my
(09:26:59) mercury: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/official_info/official_rules/game_preliminaries_3.jsp 3.16 When there is spectator interference with any thrown or batted ball, the ball shall be dead at the moment of interference and the umpire shall impose such penalties as in his opinion will nullify the act of interference.
(09:27:29) mercury: but, .. .However, should a spectator reach out on the playing field side of such fence, railing or rope, and plainly prevent the fielder from catching the ball, then the batsman should be called out for the spectator’s interference.
But hey folks….he felt bad. Real bad about the whole catching the foul ball thing….

i want a nap. i know i got enough sleep - but i want more.
so there.
yesterday I worked from 9-8pm…..simply because I had this overwhelming need to ensure my student workers won’t get hurt. Nobody should have to work in this type of enviroment.
last night - Mark made dinner for me - Mac and Cheese….totally hit the spot. I had some prosciutto to it. Yummy. We had these crazy green noodles added into this mix. This morning, I found evidence of those green noodles, when I dropped the kiddies in the pool, as Mark likes to call them. Seriously, this stuff turned my crap green…..so, yes, they’re yummy - but watch out for what it does to your toilet activities. It’s exactly like Romulan Ale - haven’t tried it? Try it. I dare you. You’ll feel like you crapped out a smurf…..or something.
Last night, as we were driving home - I told Mark about my dog and cat conversation with one of my student workers. She found that cutting off a dogs tail was animal cruelty. Mark said: “cutting off a dog’s tail is like cutting off its smile.. how could people do that?” - he wanted me to add this quote to this blog.
Last night - we also heard some racoons rumaging through our trash. These critters knocked down at least 3 cans on our street. We were about to go outside and make it right again. Mark saw two by the porch. He shined the light and growled at them. I boasted about how much bigger we were than them……then…..the racoons growled right back. We marched back into the house. I was freaked over whether they were on a rabies rampage. I insisted we stay inside for the rest of the evening.
I feel like I’ve been carrying a lot of weight on my shoulders these last two days. Really, yesterday and today. I hate that. I hate working with people I can barely respect. Biting my tounge - doing my best not to tell them off. I’ve gone from being amazed at their audacious and violent behaviour to being very bitter and downright pissed off. It’s draining to have this much resentment bottled up. Not sure if I want to head off to hankido like this….especially if there are students from the other department - sparring. i feel bad about myself…..i just do.

A curious Echidna caught on camera……hey - if the curious Echidna has dibs on this one - how did the photographer get this shot? Does he/she have TWO cameras?
maybe maybe….

I found this pix from Mercenary Emily…..
at first glance…it seems like a funny pix, right? but, a second thought….it also looks pretty darn messed up. I remember this one Sex in the City episode - I think it was the first season - when Miranda has this major breakdown, after moving into the new apartment she bought. She was freakin’ out about living alone - and one neighborhood had told her that another single woman, passed away in that same apartment. The deceased also had a cat, and when the cat wasn’t getting any food, after three days - she started nibbling on her owner. That’s gross and messed up! Ewwww!
