I'm still adjusting to a new team. I'd been with the same team for so long. There are different personalities, but I have nothing but good things to say about the guys here, and I've had a lot of fun.

I know we didn't show it early, but this is a good-hitting team.

We haven't had a whole lot of positive momentum.

It's progressing well, and I don't see it being a problem for this year. I'm on a throwing program. My amount and distance is being regulated. The only reason why they're being cautious is because these games don't count. Hopefully, knock on wood, I'll make the team and I can try and contribute during that season instead of during the spring.

Even in making objects, as soon as you start to get the feeling that some form of craft is coming into place, you realize that everything is wrong. Because craft is really just a fetish. It is wasted energy. It's about the object, some space which has nothing to do with the human.

My characters aren't chess pieces. I don't move them around some big board. I actually care about these fictitious people.
