The season's lost, but beating the Yankees by a lot is its own reward.

August 20, 2011: Timing
I feel like it's a cruel joke that the Twins are stuck playing the Yankees right when everyone was on the fence about whether to continue investing in the team for the rest of the season.
August 19, 2011: Possibilities
In a couple days I have my interview to be an acting teacher, and then I'm talking to a guy about working as a pro wrestling referee. It's a strange business.
2011 Game 123: Yankees at Twins
It's Yankees-Twins. Captain Cheeseburger faces the Dunce, who's barely an ensign, let alone a captain. The Yankees are waltzing to the playoffs again while the Twins are sputtering along to a possible 90-loss season.

August 15, 2011: Missing
I'm here in LA, after the most difficult goodbye I've ever said (with Skim, who cried in a way I've never seen anyone cry). I have no heart to lie here, so I'll just say it: no matter how it goes in Los Angeles, I don't think I'll last long before moving back. I simply cannot be away from them.
August 14, 2011: Los Angeles
My plans today include waking up at 5:30 for Stoke-Chelsea, using that time to finish packing what isn't in my van already, and leaving for LA in time to arrive at my new home around 6pm. I'm predicting none of it working out correctly.
