I'm $10 richer today ... I'm a big Detroit Tigers fan, and my boss is a big Atlanta Braves fan. Anyway, Detroit starting pitcher Kenny Rogers was on the DL all year so far, and made his comeback start last night against Atlanta. My boss and I had $10 riding on the game, and Kenny Rogers totally SMOKED the Braves last night. WOO-HOO! Even though I grew up in Maryland, I spent the first six years of my life in Detroit, and have loved the Tigers since I knew what baseball was. My dad always tried to get me to like the Baltimore Orioles after we moved here, but I resented moving to Maryland, so I've always stubbornly supported the Tigers. The past couple years that they've actually been winning have been great.

Work has been really busy, and we got a couple big projects last week. I'm also working on two large software localization projects (translation of software ... much more involved than simple document translation) that will hopefully be kicking off in the beginning of July, one for $30,000 and the other for over $100,000. I'm not doing the translating myself, I'm just the one who's securing and managing the deals. If they work out, hopefully that will mean a nice big bonus at the end of the year.

We got a new employee at work a couple weeks ago. He's pretty darn hot ... unfortunately, he's very "Christian" and has a girlfriend, but we'll see about that ... We're all planning a weekend trip to Kings Dominion (amusement park) in August. We'll drive down early on a Saturday morning, go to the park all day, spend the night at a hotel, and go to the adjacent water park the next day. I've been working so much lately, it'll be nice to have a little mini-vacation.

I usually do extra translation work on the evenings and weekends. This is the first weekend in months that I haven't had any extra work to do. The extra money is great, but I've been getting burned out, so I guess I need a little rest.

Finally, I've gotten totally addicted to the ABC Family show "Kyle XY." If y'all haven't seen it, you HAVE TO! It's really awesome, and the actor who plays Kyle is H-O-T (Matt Dallas).
