What is this "autumn" you speak of.

It was 100º this weekend. Seriously, why. I was watching the Patriots/Titans game on Sunday, and it was dark and ominous and snowy and I could not relate. At all. I've been turning off the AC at night and leaving the windows open, and last night I spent hours sweating and sleeping fitfully. So ready for it to actually be cold someday.

Meanwhile, I need to mention again how much I love postseason baseball. I can't stand watching it during the regular season (I think there are too many games for me to take anything seriously), but I LOVE the playoffs. And I've been reading some baseball slash, as it seems like the thing to do. Mainly Jeter/Rodriguez, which is lamely obvious, but they're the only ones that intrigue me. It can't be helped.

I went with some friends to a haunted corn maze over the weekend, which was not scary in the slightest, except when an actor dressed up as the Jigsaw Killer from Saw approached us. Those movies scare the hell out of me, and I've never even seen them. (BTW, I need to know why people like Saw, because I can't figure it out at all. What's the appeal of gruesome torture? I experience borderline panic attacks just seeing the previews on television!) Anyway, we came back to my place afterwards for shrimp cocktail and shots. I have to say that nothing compares to the warm, swirling euphoria of tequila, and there's nothing in the world like the resulting hangover.

That is the best thing I've seen in a while. Seriously. GymnasticsOnTheAybar = <3. I have to admit that Aybar has caught my eye a little for some reason, but I'm not sure what to do about that, exactly. I don't suppose there's fic about him, is there?

I should stop being so lazy and just go check on my own, but I couldn't resist asking the expert :)

Thanks again for the link!

I think the Angels fic has tended to center around the Weaver brothers, which is, frankly, disturbing. Jeff Weaver, seriously? The grand total of 4 fics about the Angels at theboysofsummer.

MLB RPS is generally East Coast-centric, with the incredible Oakland anamoly that is candle beck fic. I know I've linked you to her slash before, but did you see the visual and textual history of the oakland athletics that she compiled? because really, it's the essential primer.

At this point, I think I'm past poking you and moving on toward stabbing. Just, walk away from the Jeter/A-Rod, haha.

Um, right. I probably don't need to be reading Weaver incest, lol. The fic in baseball fandom boggles my mind; nearly everyone that I think is interesting is mostly ignored. It makes it difficult to get into the fandom, in some ways.

I just finished reading her Oakland Athletics history; it was oddly reminiscent of my own experience the last several years with the Phoenix Suns, and equally depressing! I'm glad she got so much fic out of it, though, and I will definitely be checking it out.

Jeter/Rodriguez is such a guilty pleasure, what are you even talking about.
