"Wait, if you're here, then that means... Oh boy!"
Miami Marlins' Jon Berti scores after Mets' pitcher Joey Lucchesi throws to an empty base, right over the shoulder of third baseman Ronny Mauricio who'd left it to go after the ball.
a collection of viewing notes and highlights from Back to the Tutor because I don’t have the time to liveblog while watching but I do have thoughts
(seems fitting that today's viewing notes and highlights are from a women-led MMNI cast!!! 🙌🏽 Happy International Women's Day, babes!!! <;3)
ah yes, Back to the Tutor a.k.a. Dave's audition tape to be the next James Bond XD
jokes, what I mean is: ytg (yeah the girls) baybeeeee!!!!!!!!
ayo big ups to the cast on this one!!!!!! I was shocked to see so few people in the cast compared to other nights (pandemic times, amiright) but hot damn what a brilliant story they weaved together!!!!
listen, I am all for Laura Kirman and Lauren Shearing romcom supremacy my dudes (gender neutral)
their love story was so friggin sweet!!! their scene on the mini-golf course and the awkwardness afterwards was so accurate and so endearing!!
Laura seems like such a load of fun - her grandiose entrance and that note she hit??????? queen shit!!!!!! excited to see more of her shenanigans!!!
and Lauren plays endearing characters so well how can you not love her????? but she's also equally loveable when she's being cheeky and causing mischief lololol
Ellie trying to be mean was so funny to watch lolol
like, she really went from 0 to 100 when she insinuated that her character pushed a grandma down the stairs XDD
Anna (Laura): You're a nasty, nasty woman!
Louise (Ellie): *desperately trying to wrap up her story arc because it's almost the end of the movie* And I'm not gonna learn my lesson! :D
Dave is in absolutely fine form and yes, I mean that in all definitions XD Dave really said as the token male of the cast tonight, I will be playing the boytoy to be ogled at, and you all have full permission to address me as such lmaoooo we appreciate your sacrifice, sir o7 /half-joking
no but for real, the man has range!!!!!!!! we love to see it!!!!!
hypermasculine James Bond to flamboyant best friend/sidekick character???? that's ✨range✨ baby
Bryony does what she does best: play an elderly person XD if I had a dollar for every elderly person I've seen her play, I'd have two dollars. it's not much, but it is odd that it's happened twice lololol
an absolute cracker of a character!!! such sassy lines and brutal advice!!! 😂 her scenes with Hen (yes, a wild Henry Lewis appeared via Zoom!!!!! it was delightful!!!! he's bloody brilliant!!!!) were so friggin sweet too omg!!!! <3
and oh my days her character ending!!!!! 😭 also, she had so many good scenes??????? but like, all of them did!!!!!!!
actually, this whole movie hit all the emotional beats incredibly well, it was magic!!!!!!!
perhaps somewhat to the detriment of the cast, with Oscar/Jono breaking character twice as he keeps an eye on them 😅 (which, mind you, was very sweet to see)
we love that moment when everyone's trying to figure out what the scene should be, so no one's actually on stage XD
Bryony: *starts to run on stage as the camera cuts away*
Oscar: Pause! Pause! Pause! *head in hands*
*cut to Bryony, sprawled on the floor as if she's fallen down the 2 steps of the stage and Dave midway through entering the scene*
*cut back to Oscar*
Oscar/Jon, somewhat nervously as he cranes his head around to look at the stage: Are you ok, Bry?
*a beat*
Bryony, offstage and cool as you like: Yes.
Oscar: Ok, good! Yes, yes, we carry on the movie- we carry on the movie- I really worried then! I really thought that we got two minutes in- gotta change the cast, got another one down- but no! It's fine! It's fine!
there is one big downside to this movie, and that is the smoke machine- terrible scene partner, never expected in the scene, always coming in too strong, 0/10 performance lmaooo
Oscar: Pause. And I think we have enough time for a final moment of performance from Bertie, who's desperately trying to work out how to signal that he wants to speak.
Hen really said "I got this, fam" and proceeded to straight up just tell Bryony to leave the room LMAO
ayo also huge kudos to Yshani and Richard for sneaking Bond music in whenever Dave- sorry, James Bond was in the scene XD
Marcus (Dave): Sorry, gals, but I'm back, and I'm pretty tired now! Alright, here we go! *proceeds to lead everyone through a ridiculously Zumba/aerobics-esque high energy dance while still looking like the most energetic person in the room*
Oscar, laughing: Pause! What I love is that obviously, when there's a song, there's a really clear moment when the song ends and we know that the movie's over. But with a dance, it's much harder to find that moment! But they do find that moment, before- because Dave does look very tired!
Marcus, voice breaking halfway through the sentence: Don't you worry, gals, I've got plenty in the tank!
*cue the music getting faster and the dancing getting faster*
and then Dave does a freaking cartwheel on the spot XD (ngl, I rated it - perhaps not in technique but geez the man has springs in his limbs lol)
Yankees Secure 2-1 Victory Over Red Sox in Extra Innings
The New York Yankees outlasted the Boston Red Sox with a thrilling 2-1 victory in extra innings. Juan Soto delivered the game-winning hit, a single that gave the Yankees their fourth walk-off win this season. Soto's clutch moment came against pitcher Josh Winckowski, driving in pinch runner Jon Berti, who replaced Gleyber Torres, the automatic runner on second base.
This win marked the Yankees' fifth victory in seven games, moving them two games ahead in the American League East. They now have a solid position atop the division, ahead of the idle Orioles.
The Red Sox struck early with a solo home run by Danny Jensen. However, the Yankees kept them scoreless for the rest of the game, stifling their offensive attempts. With this loss, Boston remains 4 1/2 games behind in the race for the final wild card spot in the American League.

Thinking of abandoning my normal writing style to make something more brazilian soap opera based.
In the two ways were I'm thinking of writing fanfic with AUs of my four main interests (TMA, WTNV, RQG and BatRogues/Batfam) in adapted versions of some of my fave soap operas [my biggest one is a JMart Cordel Encadado vibe with lost prince Jon and secrerly a cangaceiro son Martin (tho the non brazilian names make it very silly]. Also a silly Cheia de Charmes inspited RQG oneshot just cause Bertie fits a less fabulous Chayene (with Sasha, Azu and Grizzop as the Empreguetes). Also like there is so many family based chaos soap operas a lot of them can fit the batfam if we only keep the basic ideas.
But mostly I just keept thinking how O Casamento dos Pequenos Burgueses is very soap opera opening coded and it gave me 2 ideas (basicamente uma é a mesma ideia só q versão wholesome novela das 6 ou talvez 7 e a outra é dark novela das 9 então em uma a família principal são pessoas boas mas q fazem coisas babacas pq estão em situações complicadas enquanto na outra são os msm tropes mas com enfoque em uma família com pessoas problemáticas e desgraçadas que criaram as situações complicadas a partir do próprio privilégio social [meio família de Amor à Vida]).
