one last bit before 06 is gone...
when you see a mirror,
what do you see?
what do you do?

see ya in 07...

Life is a blast when...

I've been exposed to Tony Hawk's Project 8 commerical far too long and I just had to find out who was singing that last bit in the end. As it turns out it was Del the Funky Homosapien. I like the stomping beat and the opening lyrics continue to repeat in my head.

ok....

here we go....

Life is a blast when you know what you're doin

Best to know what you're doin 'fore your life gets ruined

:)

Natalie Walker

Her voice floats.

It's part Sarah McLachlan, part Jem.

It was only a few weeks ago when I was listening to Daughter Darling and loved Broken Bridge and their cover of Dust in the Wind and wondered who was singing...but got distracted and never found out. Somewhere between that time and a weekend when I was surfing iTunes that I ran into Natalie Walker and loved her album enough to not download anything (I wanted the CD). It wasn't 'till I got the CD and read through the credits when I was surprised to discover that it was Natalie Walker who sang for Daughter Darling. Urban Angel is her solo album (she has left Daughter Darling).

Life has a funny way of leading you to someone sometimes.

Offseason moves so far...

So far I'm pleased with the acquisition of Dave Roberts and Rich Aurilia. Dave Roberts adds speed and smarts in the lineup and he works hard. I'm really happy to welcome Rich back. I think his time away from the Giants was a blessing as he discovered his versatility as an infielder. I'm not too thirlled about Bengie Molina but I trust Sabean has a reason for choosing him (or maybe I'm just still bitter about these ex-Angels guys ;) ).

16 mil for Bonds? All I can hope for is that they are able to structure the payoff so that the Giants can still go for Zito, Suppan, Sexson, or Burrell. I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't sign Shea Hillenbrand. I had him on my wishlist a long time ago and when the Giants finally got him I expected him to stick around...anyway.

JT Snow coming back to the organization is well deserved. I hope someday we see Kirk Reuter return as well...perhaps to replace Mark Gardner or assist in some capacity. I wouldn't mind seeing Robb Nen in that pen, too.
