The apparition of these faces in the crowd...

I'm running on fumes. My birthday party is tonight. I'm dead. Hopefully I can redeem my gambling credibility. I have the over on the Louisville/Illinois game and I'm taking Louisville's 3 point line. And I'm not saying anything about the Michigan/UNC game, but you can read all about my thoughts on the matter here.

To be honest, I'm in a scrappy kind of mood today, and I know I shouldn't be since it's the weekend and my birthday and all. But opening day is tomorrow and it looks like it's aposed to rain. And if it's rescheduled for Monday afternoon, I won't be able to go because I can't take off work on Monday. I would if it was any other day, but my boss would kill me. I have a huge project due Monday, and I think taking off work would be my undoing. But if it's scheduled for later on in the year, I'm going to try to take off on Tuesday so I can see the make-shift opening day. I don't know, I'm feeling a little blue. One of stretch of days that it seems nothing falls into place. I lost my Metro-card. (I know I know I have it rough), and it's raining, and I'm fresh out of energy. The last one is probably the worst. It sucks not being able to function when I have shit to do. Like my espn magazine started coming in 2's, and I was getting charged for 2 subscriptions, and I was almost about to punch a wall I was so angry. But then I called customer service and they just extended my subscription for a year. Yeah that wasn't too hard.

And I got a package from my sister that REALLY needed to get here before tonight but UPS just left one of those "We Tried to Deliver" notes on my door, saying I needed to be around to sign for it. So now I have to go through the pain in the ass of rerouting the package so it gets delivered to my office address instead. Okay okay I know none of those things are bad in it of themselves, and I sound like a bitch complaining about it. But I'm still in a scrappy mood. Mostly because my little sister is really sick. So that's kind of making everything else seem a thousand times worse. And I was going to go to DC to be with her now but she's coming up to New York instead for the Yankee games.

I keep looking at the 3 dishes in my sink that need to be done.

I just joined a softball team. Something else to give me chills every time I think about it. Opening Day is finally here tomorrow. I've been waiting all winter for this. Every time the Yankees win a big game, I save the back page of the NY Post and hang it in my cubicle, so on Friday, I took down all my newspapers to make room for this season. That gave me chills too.

Seriously, I think I'm just hypothermic or something.
