The Curse...
Oh my God, I think that David Ortiz is ready to break the Curse himself if it kills him. I was one of those people who wrote y'all off when you went 0-3, and I swear that I will take back every bad thing that I ever thought about you if you just knock those cocky assed Yankees on their asses. Oh my god, a grand fucking slam. I wonder what that feeling is in the collective throat of every fan in Yankees stadium right now???
I am addicted to Lost, and I think I'm just confused most of the time. It's fantastic. His dad *is* on the island? But he's dead? But his body is missing? I mean, if the crash made the old paralyzed guy walk, can it bring the dad back to life? So many questions, so few answers.
Have I mentioned that I have a trial starting soon? I'm not sure if this one will really go or not. We have a motion for summary judgment pending that, truth be told, we *should* win, though I don't have a good feeling about it. (They *lied* in their affidavits, I mean directly contradicted their testimony and flat out lied, and it will be obvious - but is a Judge going to make that determination? Probably not.) But the facts in this case are so - amazing. For us. Greatly so. Meanwhile, we have refused to make any settlement offer at all. I mean, not even nuisance value. So the Plaintiffs are pissed off. It's beautiful. The Judge wants us to settle (I think that's why he isn't ruling on the motion - it's been pending since May) and is putting some pressure on us (and I am sure he will at the final pretrial on Nov. 1) but he can't really *force* us to. But the thing is - I am floundering with everything that has to be done in a relatively short period of time, with everything else that I somehow have to find time to do. Ugh!

Watching the Yankees losing this badly at this point in the game is, I must admit, quite a nice way to spend one's Wednesday evening.
Yes, I have no life.

Down 0-3, I didn't think they could do it, either. But what a great sports story. And, it took place at Yankee Stadium. Sweet, sweet revenge.
And yay for another Lost addict. I really don't know what's up with Jack's dad, either. We'll eventually get some answers, which will then give us more questions. That's how JJ Abrams works.
