For anyone planning to see the movie Nine: it’s a movie about Italians, being Italian and doing Italian things, making Italian movies. Did I mention it’s about Italians?
….played by American/French/British actors. Yeah.
The costumes were pretty. That’s about it.
Sitting at work after having a 5 day weekend. I don’t have to come in at all this week, but I chose to so I can rack up some free vacation hours.
Christmas was good times, I made an amazing turkey and had a great time with family. Spring training tickets were purchased! Re-watching of baseball games took place on the new Roku!
New Years will probably be more hanging around with family. That’s about it for me, haven’t had much to say lately.
Is it seriously going to be Christmas in a few days? I am so tired thinking of the little things I still have to do. I’m ready for baseball to come back now.
According to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, the spontaneous, fan-generated Nick Adenhart memorial in front of Angel Stadium is going to be dismantled soon and the late pitcher’s family will be offered their pick of the memorial tributes and keepsakes left at the impromptu yet venerable shrine.
The Angels will be constructing a memorial for Adenhart in the park with relics from the shrine as well as the length of outfield wall with the memorial mural.As an Angels fan, this makes me really, really, really happy.
I visited the fan-built memorial when I went to a couple games in Anaheim this year and it brought tears to my eyes. I’m glad the club is going to put something permanent there for him.
This year’s game 163 ranks as number seven on this list. I actually found myself re-watching that game the other night, after an effort to clean out my DVR resulted in me being unable to delete it. I felt surprisingly calm as things started to fall apart for the Tigers, the second time around. It weirdly felt like it was some sort of closure for me. Still hurts, but not as much as it did. Besides, I have our star players being traded away to replace that pain now anyway.
