Roger Angell’s Game Six scorecard

Roger Angell’s scorecard, in which he recorded every error, lead change, and clutch hit from last night’s wild Game Six.

Also, click through to read Angell’s take on Game 6: http://nyr.kr/vtJScW

This was one of the most exciting games (well, most exciting last 4 innings) I’ve ever seen.  As a life-long Cardinals fan, I was in deep despair after the 7th inning.  But that was a comeback like no other - I’ll never forget it.  I cannot wait for tonight’s game 7.

Takashi Shimura as Watanabe, the bureaucrat doomed to die from cancer, in Ikiru (1952, dir. Akira Kurosawa)

“Occasionally I think of my death … then I think, how could I ever bear to take a final breath; while living a life like this, how could I leave it? There is, I feel, so much more for me to do — I keep feeling I have lived so little yet. Then I become thoughtful, but not sad. It was from such a feeling that Ikiru arose.”

-Kurosawa, quoted in Akira Kurosawa: Interviews

This is a Lena Laub a.k.a. Buttercup appreciation post! Most of you will already know what an incredible lady Lena is, since she goes out of her way constantly to make people smile and support them and to just be generally the sweetest soul ever. Lena is one of life’s great givers and I just wanted to take a moment to give a little back and let her know just how special she is (cos amazingly, I don’t think she realizes!). 

So yes, here’s a little love for Lena. I suggest you reblog if you too have been cheered up by Miss Buttercup. And do feel free to add your own words too :)

Ps. The awesome portrait is by RKBear who also just happens to be a total sweetheart :)

Lena also has a wonderful reading voice, as she has demonstrated in a few different RECords before.
