"It's great to be young and a Yankee."

So finally my egregious lack of basic sensibility has become a marketable skill. I'm now the Yankee blogger for The Village Voice.

Previews, recaps, and whatever the technical term is for "off-topic tangents with only a mild relevance to the topic at hand," will live on their "Running Scared" blog.

This, of course, is contingent on not terrifying their readership.

But I'll still be posting here every day, after every game, probably with the link to the Voice so I'm not double posting. My inaugural post is here.

I didn't think it was possible for me to have even more of a vested interest in the Yanks sticking around til the end. But there it is. Half of me feels the light-headed delirium you get when on either the first NFL Sunday of the Year or the first week of dating someone. The other half of me feels like I'm in a scene from Saw.


Here are 2 links before tonight's preview goes up:

1. Photoshop is like crack for people whose days are intermittenly populated with brief downtime. Basically I get like a kid who just got a Game Genie for his Nintendo and spent the next straight week delighting in secret warp zones et al.

The only downside of my primitive PS creation was that every time a coworker came into my office, I'm pretty sure they thought I was patching my head onto Jessica Simpson's body.

2. I love this commercial, because the girl 8 seconds in makes me laugh.
