It's nice to be home. Work's been a bit odd lately - more than likely one of those "just back from vacation" things. I'll probably spend today cleaning the apartment (it needs it) then watching baseball & football.

Got to see two incredible baseball games while in St. Louis. The August 9 game was the best (because my loyalties weren't split). My favorite player (Yadier Molina) got 3 hits and the guy I've wanted the team to bring up since March (Rick Ankiel) hit a 3-run homer. The game on the 12th was nice since the Cards won, but I had mixed feelings since the Dodgers lost (and looked fairly pathetic out there). I also managed to get my niece to say she's rooting for the Cubs - the look on my brother's face was priceless. This weekend's series sees my loyalties split again. I think whichever team wins the series will win the division (especially since Milwaukee seems to becoming a non-factor).

By the way, the first day back at work, guess what was sitting on my desk? My Oz Season One DVD - so I guess that's the lender copy.

I received a jury summons. Guess I'll have to call and register, but it's really just a waste of the court's and my time for me to go in. With what I do (coupled with the fact I'm not paid for jury duty), I'll never be selected - last time I sat in the gallery during jury selection and couldn't decide if I was going to go with "All defendants are guilty" or "All pro-pers are idiots" for my way out.

Watched "The Illusionist" last night. It was okay. I love Edward Norton and Rufus Sewell, but something seemed flat. "The Prestige" was a far better movie.

P.S. - sandrine, you may want to check this out.
