Another SF Valley Monday

[cmk418]

Didn't get a lot done today. Sent my resume off to the non-profit. They e-mailed me back asking for salary requirements. I gave a figure that I thought was fair and would keep me in a way that I used to be accustomed. I have no idea whether that will be a help or a hinderance. Lots of non-profits like to keep the budgets on the low side, but after working with some, I also know that they like to drive their employees into the ground so the money has to be representative of that.

The White Sox and Angels are now out of the playoffs. Boston is in. I can't stand the Red Sox. So I guess it's Rays and Dodgers for this series and then we'll see.

I don't know if the roster is finalized or not. They cut 4 more guys today. Sad to see those guys get sent down (Beach, Crawford, Brouwer, and Aliu). They seem a little heavy on the defensive side still. I really hope that Jack Skille stays up. He did pretty good for us last year.

I'm commissioning a very small fantasy hockey league this season. Thought I'd try it out. It's kinda funny because I think I was the only one who selected their own players. I've got Ovechkin (apparently I went first in the auto-draft), 6 random guys, and 7 Blackhawks (no, it's not bias, it's confidence). I'm a little peeved that my aunt got Pavel Datsyuk because he was actually on my list. Wonder if she'd give him to me for Corey Perry?

Yes, it's still me writing this.

Writing-wise, I got my prompt for the Willow ficathon. It wasn't the one I really wanted, but there's plenty to write about with the prompt I do have - it's going to be a Firefly/Buffy Crossover. I've started an idea for the OZ Trick or Treat Grab Bag. And, does anybody else start thinking of oz_magi this soon, because I think I pretty well know what I'm going to ask for. And, no, Jia Kenmin is not involved this year. *sigh*

This format definitely makes it easier to hit certain parts.

He can even say the smell isn't so bad, but that's mostly because what he smells is Sophie's watermelon shampoo where she leans against him, making soft, wounded noises. - Really the whole description of how Billy's become accustomed to hospitals is a nice way to start it out.

Addario's surprise at Billy being there works and lets us know that they're not out at work.

Jean. I don't talk much about her, but I love the way she takes charge here. She's like a lioness protecting her cubs. (Even though we never see her in the film, I picture her as Patricia Clarkson.)

He can feel Sophie run her thumb back and forth across his fingernail and squeezes a little. I love the fact that they give each other comfort.

I wouldn't really say they're in, though. I think they just don't talk about it and no one else "in the know" talks about it, so it surprises guys like Addario.

I didn't know who Patricia Clarkson was and I had to look it up. If Patricia Clarkson ever cut her hair and dyed it cherry red, that's what Jean looks like. *laughs*

Thanks. I love Billy and Sophie. It's not the overstated devotion I write when Sean thinks about her, but they really do love each other.

So... Jean's a gal with unnaturally red hair. No wonder I like her. *g*
