Mar. 16th, 2005 08:00 pmFirst item of business: I made a new icon! Yes, another one. Because if this (and by "this," I mean not just this photo but this entire past year of hugging and snuggling and pelvic thrusts) is Manny and Kevin being discreet, I'd be curious to see how they come out of the closet.
Second item of business: Today marks a full month of my making at least one journal entry a day. I'd like to thank Trot Nixon for calling Princess A-Rod a clown, the Boston media for the ensuing ridiculous shitstorm, and myself for being so bored that week that I followed it obsessively, realized that I'd posted for a consecutive week for the first time ever, and decided to see how long I could keep it up. *bows*
Speaking of the Boston media: Tony Massarotti would like you to know that if the Red Sox suck this season, it is all the Fab Five's fault. I wish I was kidding with this shit. I almost fell over at work this morning when I read the article. Reach desperately for something negative lately? Clown.
However, the Herald more or less makes up for Massarotti's nonsense with this article on Bronson Arroyo, which features not only a touch of speculation about the suspense that will be felt this season every time A-Rod has an at bat against Bronson, but also a lovely photograph of our boy. Bronson is kind of not that photogenic - he tends to look all smirky or bony or twelve years old - so the combination of this picture and the earlier one is quite a rare treat. (Ditto Mark Bellhorn, except replace "smirky/bony/twelve" with "surly/stoned/vacant." He has also had two beautiful photos this year, one of which was not online at all and the other of which I couldn't find to save my soul at this point, but I did icon it.)
In other redeeming news: The Globe has a wonderful article catching us up on Nomar and how he's fitting in with the Cubs (quite well, apparently). This is redeeming because of the recent fiasco with the Globe-owned Boston Dirt Dogs posting what turned out to be a load of shit about Nomar declaring that the Sox "can keep" his World Series ring. (Everyone who played for the Sox at any point last year is getting a ring, so of course Nomar gets one, too.) Oh, yeah, and the false article - based on an e-mail from some random chick - was written by a Globe writer. Whoops. So, I totally see what the Globe is trying to do here, and shut up, Globe, but the article is really well-written (yay Gordon Edes), and the Globe sucking is not Edes's fault, so go read. That is way too many italics tags in one paragraph.
