When I'm not working for a living I'm writing stories or feeding my parents' cats Black Cat and Orange Cat. #yxe

What? I'm just sitting here? Totally normal to sit here on the arm of the chair.

Wasn't doing nothing involving claws just a second ago.

Just sitting here, getting ready in case you need any help with typing and stuff.
#Caturday

An orange stripey cat with white on its face has a somewhat guilty look on its face as it looks at the camera. It is sitting on the arm of a desk chair.

The cat's face says there is no way, absolutely no possible way in this world that it was doing anything like clawing up the back of the chair just moments before. It is equally impossible, the cat's expression says, that it had moments before been sitting on the even smaller back of the chair.

Pecans are definitely more my choice. I used to despise walnuts until I had some that weren't already borderline rancid. They were much better - still not as good as pecans though.

Would have loved for the boys to go to LA up by two. But even will do. Just feel bad for Gausman the boys will need to be on their bats next time he pitches!

I've never wished I was in a sports stadium more than I wish I was in the Roger's Centre tonight.

A person gets so attached to the players on a team you watch play 160+ games in a year. I wish the rosters were bigger so I didn't have to see them move people I really enjoyed and think were important to the team off. But also happy to see those added back.

I could never be an MLB manager.

I forgot about that.

Oh my gosh. I am an October baby and I have to say that the Blue Jays just gave me the best birthday month present I've ever had. Now I just need to wait a little to see if they one up their present.

Just like a win is a team effort, so too is a loss a team loss. I'm sad about tonight's result but still believe in my Jays and look forward to their comeback in the last two.

Also has anyone else developed any specific things you are doing each game.

My fingers hurt from clenching the remote in a particular grip. My hips hurt from holding a rather uncomfortable seated position during ever at bat. LOL and I'll do it again tomorrow!

How about that - my team showing their true colours again tonight. #GoBlueJays

Does Gimenez get the four finger treatment in the third tomorrow?

That was the perfect example of why I believe in that team and their whole team mentality.

I love this video.

Sending all the get better Sam vibes his way.

Jays - I've watched you all season and I believe in you! #GoJaysGo

This crew has a real team mindset and you can't keep a team like that down for long!

I pack an almost empty tube of toothpaste. That way if it squishes out in the baggy I put it in it is less messy. Plus if I forget to pack it on my way home it isn't as much waste.

I use earplugs as I don't have noise cancelling headphones. I found they really helped me experience less nausea (which I mostly get from the descent)

I'm trying to write one (generally terrible) little 'poem' for each player on the Blue Jays. I'm only at about 5 of them so far. Need many more. #GoJaysGo

Crystal T (she/her) @crystalizing.bsky.social · 15d

I had filed my request for many extra innings tonight and my request was granted.

Wonder who will pitch on Sunday against our Jays?

Crystal T (she/her) @crystalizing.bsky.social · 17d

All I can say is Yay Blue Jays!!

Crystal T (she/her) @crystalizing.bsky.social · 28d

Maybe she's headed to a curling match - sometimes there are fans at those dressed as bananas.

Who else wants to admit they might just prefer the Queen of the Night's Act 1 aria, 'O zittre nicht, mein lieber Sohn,' over the more famous Act 2 'Der Hölle Rache' from Mozart's The Magic Flute?

Detail from an old piece (Tamino is out of crop), c.2004/5. We won't talk about its manifold issues. 🙈

Detail from a watercolour illustration of a stately woman in an 18th century style gown of various blues with a pair of bats adorning the skirt. A dusky blue veil floats from her headdress, and from her shoulders flows an enormous cape which becomes the night sky itself. She stands atop a rocky outcrop suffused with a bank of clouds and a fluttering of moths.

I love this. Beautiful. And your alt text is excellent!

Crystal T (she/her) @crystalizing.bsky.social · Sep 1

Just watching this on loop.

Crystal T (she/her) @crystalizing.bsky.social · Aug 31

Hadn't watched baseball in years until last fall when my parents moved in. This season has been wonderful watching the #BlueJays.

Was feeling a little worried but today felt like the Jays team I've been cheering for all year. Glad to see them looking themselves again.

Crystal T (she/her) @crystalizing.bsky.social · Aug 29

I haven't watched this in a long time. Maybe it is time to rewatch it.

Crystal T (she/her) @crystalizing.bsky.social · Aug 29

Sending all the ~cats come home~ vibes out there for them. Hope they find their way home very soon.
