What to talk about first?

So, wow. Today has been eventful. I don't know where to begin.

1. The Astros beat the Rockies, even though they tried really hard to give the game away at times. I've sloppy, but it got the job done.
2. Ichiro tied and then beat the single-season hits record by the third inning in Seattle tonight. I'm ashamed to say that I was watching the Houston game instead of hanging on Ichiro's every swing.
3. The Cubs lost. LA just picked up a run on the Giants to make it 2-1 Ginats in the 5th - Go Dodgers!
4. Mt. St. Helens errupted. I'm really, really jealous of anyone who got to see/hear/feel that. Anybody out Seattle way catch the action? I want to see a volcano erupt (just a little one).
5. I stayed at work 1 1/2 hours longer than I intended to today, and then realized that what I was doing should have been done by someone else anyway. Ironic - yes. Office politics suck.
6. The Peru gang gave a slide show of pictures from our trip at work, and it was very, very well attended. I made comments like "I'm not in this picture because I was in the bus sick." It made me sad; I wasn't in very many pictures.

I'm really excited about my laptop, which should be here by Tuesday. :) At least I can commandeer Gav's new desktop for long enough to update my blog now.
