Baseball:Want to start watching baseball and not sure which team to pick? Here's how we found the Ultimate Bandwagon Team of 2025!

And I'd like to see this movie, though it looks like a total brofest, set in the 90s about one last baseball game for the fellas before their diamond gets demolished. Not for a mall or some other corporate bad guy, but for a public school that will benefit the whole community. - An eephus pitch is unnaturally slow, aiming to confuse the batter. “Stays in the air forever,” the player explains. “You get bored watching it. I get bored.” It makes the batter “lose track of time,” he concludes. “It’s pretty mean that way.” “Eephus,” a movie in which nothing really happens but many things occur nonetheless.

Movie: I went to see My Dead Friend Zoe staring Sonequa Martin-Green (I really like her in Star Trek Discovery and I think she's so pretty) with a little bit of Morgan Freeman (group counselor) and Ed Harris (grandpa just diagnosed with alzheimer's). I cried through like the whole thing for various reasons, laughed more than a little bit at the meet-cute, and really liked the ending. It's grief and it's super messy, and it is a tragedy based on true circumstance.

Inspired by a true story, a U.S. Army Afghanistan veteran—thanks to the presence of her dead best friend from the Army—is at odds with her estranged Vietnam Veteran grandfather and her VA counselor. )

EMERGENCY: My town is battling fires and yesterday sustained wind gusting up to 80mph. The other side from my house - which I'm just so lucky for since I slept through when their mandatory evacuations started. I woke up at 8:45pm to a handful of messages checking to see if I was okay which was when I realized it was smoke I smelled from in my bedroom. The outside cats were super spooked and actually demanded to come inside. I told them I wasn't sure it was safer, but it wasn't like I was gonna tell them 'no'.

Went into work early at 10 to replace my boss who was finally headed home after 14hrs, the roads were super hazy and their were a bunch of damage from the wind. I figured I might as well get overtime and have more information if I was going to be stuck in a heightened anxiety loop anyway. The lake we manage, which has a decent permanent population, was under a mandatory evacuation order so the officers were going tent to camper to cabin to warn everybody (there's only one road in and it was in danger of being blocked) and a handful of people refused to leave and were told that there was not enough resources and help would not be able to come for them if they changed their mind later. It was brutal.

The wind is less now at 6:30am and it changed direction so hopefully any flying embers land back in previously burnt areas.

and I'll be glad when April is over. And then even happier when the first week of May is over. Justin Timberlake and lazy taco and Star Wars memes are the worst.

But I am admittedly in a grumpy phase. I wrote a post about Dasher's (my shepherd) last day, but I ended up making it private. I feel so guilty and anxious and not sure that it was the right decision. The house is so quiet without him, which admittedly is a good thing, but I still miss him. I don't need any well wishes or anything. They don't really help.

Media I have enjoyed:
- Love Lies Bleeding - this movie zigged hard at the end and convinced me I did in fact love it. Two dumpster fire lesbians falling in love in 1989. One is a body builder, and Kristen Stewart is the daughter of a gun runner. Features - weird sex (the older couple next to me got up and left when the third sex scene started with toe sucking), love, murder, roid rage, and a happy(?) ending.

- Mary Calmes Timing series! Really the first two books (they're shortish) are a thing and then the third one is from a new POV in the same family. They're just fun, full of interesting characters, decent dialog (and you know I have a high bar) and entertaining plot. The sex is honestly the least of everything. I really enjoyed Stef and Glenn, and the ranch.
Blurb from book 1 )

-Spotify suggested 'Let's Duet' on my weekly Discover list. I laughed a little, and was then surprised to find out it was John C Reilly from his movie Walk Hard. I enjoy him as an actor, but I didn't think I'd like that movie so I've never watched it. But here you go if you need a little suggestive humor:
Let's Duet )

- The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - I like Guy Ritchie and his queerness (I'll skip Aladdin 2 though), and this movie was just entertaining. Mostly bloodless violence and clever characters doing weird things.

Media I did not enjoy as much:
- Monkey Man - mostly because of the frenetic camera work and the choice to go with realistic (the gross gore) violence, and that it was humorless. Dev Patel is an amazing, beautiful man, but I've really only enjoyed The Personal History of David Copperfield of his.
- Late Night with the Devil I think they missed an opportunity there.

Unfortunately, I don't have two nickels to rub together. And if I did have nickels, I'm sure I could come up with something better than staging some kind of dubcon, accidental stimulation porno. Oy.

FINALS ARE DONE! ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, I AM FINISHED WITH THIS CRAPPY, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD SEMESTER! Hopefully, if I managed to pass with "b"s despite my best efforts to fail all that stands between me and a diploma is my final project (and a class I've tried to finish twice now, but hey, third time's the charm, right?

+

So now that is over with -> cue massive guilt for outstanding lateness on a couple of fics that I owe people from last year. I guarantee that they are my top priority for the rest of the month! I hate disappointing people, and I know that's what I've done. ASAP, I'm working on fixing it and y'all have my deepest apologies.

Oklahoma got some real bad weather today. I hope that all the Okies on my flist are safe and sound. Beyond that I hope everyone reading this knows what to do in case of severe weather and you drill/plan with your families for emergencies. Have safe spots to meet at both in the house, and in the neighborhood, because you never know what will happen!

And finally, this video makes me happy and I can't even pretend not to like the song anymore. : )

This semester is not ending well, and I have no one to blame but myself. My papers are not/have not gone well and I might end up flunking a class. I haven't slept more than three hours at a time and six hours in a twenty-four hour period since Wednesday. I've eaten crap, and there's more caffeie in my system than anything else. Detox is not going to be a pretty sight. I pulled out in front of someone today on an emergency trip to the library, I think I may not leave my apartment until my heart rate has settled down again.

Hi new people at DW! Just give me a week and then I'll be entertaining and get my act together, I swear. : ) Check out my into post and let me know if you'd like me to grant you access if/when I post anything locked. It's for you, not me. *grins* I don't want to bother anyone with personal posts if you're just around for fandom stuff.

Speaking of DW, I have three codes I can give away if anyone wants one or knows of anyone who wants one. I just don't have time right now to go searching people out.

SPN/J2 BIG BANG! \0/ I finished my Sam/Dean fic though at the moment, I promise nothing about readability. It looks like all the fics are going to be claimed by artists today, which is awesome even if I'm a little bummed that I won't get the chance to try to make some arty stuff this year. I've already stalked my artist *waves* and I'm very excited. Okay, I'll get really excited after I turn in my paper tomorrow at five and then go into a coma for at least twelve hours. Congrats to everyone who finished, and if you didn't manage, don't quit working on your fic! We still want to read it!

Please excuse me while I have a nervous breakdown. Final finals week is just so very ... final. I don't want to graduate and look for a real job, and have to support and provide for myself. I now have such respect for those of you who are doing this, and I haven't done anything but think about it. Seriously, this standing "o" is for you. *claps*

They decided to total my truck, so I went to clean it out and ended up bawling over it. I mean, how lame. A 23 year old girl crying over four wheels, a hunk of metal, and some of the best memories of her life. I loved it. I never named it, because it couldn't decide on a gender, but man I loved that truck.

My last test is tomorrow, and I have denied myself access to any of the [livejournal.com profile] sga_santa or [livejournal.com profile] sg_rarepairings fic until I finish mine. I'm so sorry [livejournal.com profile] kellifer_fic, but I have passed the thousand word mark, and I'll be done soon...ish. I suck.

Also, in this process, I have discovered that my space bar is finicky, and I am curious, so...
