1. Losing an hour is HARD. I miss that hour. A lot. I know I'll be glad this evening when it's seven o'clock and still light out. But right now, I'm all: give me my damned hour back.

2. I had brunch with my friend and her daughter, and that was very nice. Walked home in 60 degree weather. Yay spring!

3. You know what I really want to see on my TV? A crossover episode thingy with Criminal Minds and The Mentalist, wherein the team from CM gets called in by a local jurisdiction on the Red John case, and Patrick Jayne shows up, all this is my case and I'm going to be the one to solve it. Can you imagine the CM team and how they'd react to Patrick Jayne? It would be awesome! And then, of course, the storyline would continue on The Mentalist, and maybe they'd catch Red John, but probably they wouldn't this time around, and then they could work together again, and there could be another crossover episode thingy again in the future. For the win!

4. Watched tons of baseball yesterday, and I know you'll all be shocked to hear it, but I STILL LOVE DEREK JETER. You know, just in case you were wondering.

5. This morning, I read, oh my God, this super, super satisfying Pete/Patrick romance novel Victorian AU in space story, wherein (that's my word for the day, by the way!) Pete is a rich, but rather shady gentleman and Patrick becomes his kept man to save his brother from gambling debts. Kept man! That's right below besmirching on the big list of things Lenore can't resist. I don't know how I didn't find this story sooner.

6. I'm excited that the The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is going to be a show on HBO. I adore the books, and I hope I like the series, as well. Also, looking forward to Nathan Fillion in Castle. And some slashy goodness modern day biblical style in Kings.

7. MOST IMPORTANTLY! Thank you to my darling anitac588 for the daisy for my profile page. That was so sweet of you. And happy International Women's Day to my dear ladies on my flist and everyone who stops by to visit. You are all awesome, and I'm so happy to know you.

Title: Cotton Candy Colored Lip Gloss
Fandom: Baseball RPS
Pairing: Derek Jeter/Alex Rodriguez
Rating: NC-17
Word count: ~3,000
Summary: Alex gets into some trouble. Derek helps him out.
Disclaimer: This is purely fictional! And just for fun! No harm intended!

Note: I think the word "warning" is too strong, but I did feel that I should mention there's ladies lingerie involved. And, you know, handcuffs. *g*

( Derek likes to think he has as much imagination as the next person, but it never once occurred to him to wonder what Alex would look like in lingerie and makeup. If he had ever tried to picture it, no doubt he would have laughed his ass off. Yet here Alex is laid out in front of him in this little black number, and it's strangely not ridiculous... )

Now that I've gotten past my vow of "I'll never write baseball slash," it's all I want to do! I amused myself last night with a ramshackle story idea ( Cut to spare the non JeteRod fans )

So, that's it. That's my story idea. What can I say? Their love makes me maudlin and schmoopy! *g*

There's a new gym that has opened across the street from my office, and it has apparently hired Derek Jeter to brandwhore for them. They have his (gorgeous!) face plastered everywhere. On signage outside. On posters inside. There's even a video of him playing on a big screen above the membership desk. I keep finding excuses to walk by and linger. I was pretty seriously considering joining, although just because it's so pretty and Jeterian inside doesn't necessarily mean I'd actually use it. But then, our HR person investigated a corporate membership, and even that was Manhattan gym expensive. Which is more than I want to pay.

Oh, well. At least I'll always have their signage! It makes me happy.

Jeter keeps having these moments with Ivan Rodriguez in this series against Detroit. It's like with A-Rod out of the lineup, he's just looking for any Rodriguez he can get.

Oh, Derek!

So, I couldn't resist this meme. Here's the first crop of-- well, "drabbles," since they're longer than 100 words.
