Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

So I stayed up until 4am to watch the Mets rout the Astros 11-3. Unfortunately, I was woken up by a violently upset stomach at 5.30am that kept me awake until 7am when I was sure I wouldn't need to scamper to the bathroom at high speed. *sighs* So my sleep patterns are well and truly screwed. But at least it WAS the weekend and I could snooze until 2pm :) And yes, I feel better now but now have conclusive proof that I cannot eat pizzas with spicy beef or pepperoni on them because they hate me and will get their revenge.

Seeing as my sleep patterns are fubar'd anyway, I'm going to stay up and watch the US Open's Women's Singles Final later on. It's been a good day for sport, so I'm confident my gal, Henin, will win :) Yesterday's semi-final, against Venus Williams, was one of the best tennis matches I've seen for many a year. I broke into spontaneous cheering and applause several times. Hee!

As for today, well England beat India to win the ODI series 4-3. Our rugby team beat the USA to win their first game in the Rugby World Cup. And the football team is currently spanking Israel 3-0 in our must win Euro Championships qualifier.

And in domestic news, my beloved Leeds Utd, hit with a 15 point penalty before the season started won their fifth straight game today to reach the grand points total of zero. I'm so proud of 'em. Two more wins would see us off the bottom of the table *beams*. And annoyingly, without the points penalty, we'd be top of the League One table right now. But never mind, these days with Leeds, I take the victories as we get 'em!

Right, off to watch the baseball. Go Mets! Ah luvs my weekends! *beams like a spotlamp*

Hee! I've finally sorted the last problem I was having with Firefox and got it to play nicely with www.mlb.com so I can watch my baseball. Now I can watch my beloved Mets without the damn browser crashing every five minutes *eyes IE* I can't say I like Firefox more than IE in terms of ease of use etc but I do like it much more for its stability with this PoS PC I'm using :)

Let's Go Mets!


ETA: And I'm not, in anyway, downloading episodes of Criminal Minds. Nuh-uh. Figment of your imagination....*whistles*

ETA 2: *does the Even Happier Mitchy Boogie* There's transcripts of CM! For every episode!! Yeee-hawwww!! *boogies*

...to the Torchwood thing. After checking my account this morning, I decided that while I do have funds, I really can't justify a mid-week trip into London. Plus I'm knackered and another early night wouldn't go amiss. There'll be other things I'll want to see or do more and I'd rather spend the money on those when they occur.

Work was peaceful today, PartyGirl was out at a training course. I sort of miss not having her around but I don't miss BigBouncy constantly coming up to our end of the office and chatting. Also, I got to do some more fun statistics for TooTall in PartyGirl's absence, which prevented me from doing the Paying In Slips o'Doom today. Shame :D

Saw my friend Pauline from my previous job for lunch today. We try to get together every so often for a natter and this time we both had holiday stuff to recount, so that was fun.

The Mets lost last night, dammit. They've got to win the next two games now. *bites nails* And I can't watch because the bloody games are on too late. *shakes fist at stupid MLB and Fox TV*

Ah well, now for tea and NCIS. Hurrah!
