a history of me

Well, I finished my little Derek Jeter vanity project. In hindsight I feel a little childish, but there's something about that play and him that have suddenly taken center stage in my brain. Besides, it's not a total sellout to sports mania. I still used Japanese to make it unique. If you want my Derek Jeter wallpaper, take it. It is about 2MB large, so if you're still using dial-up access it may take a few minutes. The Japanese reads Nyû yôku yûshi, which translates as "New York Hero."

In the meantime the Yankees have lost two straight to those creeps from Queens. I knew there would be a letdown after that incredible, emotional win on Thursday but I didn't expect them to drop two at Shea. While the game was on we were goofing off at work today. Someone had a tennis ball and we found a stick, so we took a few swings inside. It's been a long time since I took a swing at anything, but I got a few good hits in. I also embarrassed myself by swinging at one that was too low, falling down in the process. I kind of twisted my neck too. That sucked but it was the first time I had fun at work since leaving the movie theater. I've only got a few more weeks to go but I have to spend the whole weekend at work. Shit.
