2 days in a row without rain, what a shock...

when i walked out to get the mail today, it actually felt like late May. it's almost summer. joy. sunburns and ill fitting clothes. good times.

WWE Extreme Rules was great last night. 2 of the matches, Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles and the Intercontinental Title match will surely be on the final list for matches of the year. they were both spectacular. plus, last night saw the return of Seth Rollins. when he destroyed Roman Reigns at the end of the show, i was so fucking happy. should make for an interesting Monday Night Raw tonight.

the New York Yankees won yesterday, 5-4, to complete the 4 game sweep of the Oakland A's. that's 5 wins in a row. that also gets them just 1 game under .500. they are off tonight and start a series with Toronto tomorrow night.

team USA defeated Puerto Rico 3-1 in a soccer friendly yesterday. the field was horrible and the USA played down to their competition. they will have to be much better to do anything in the upcoming Copa America.

House of Lies was pretty damn funny last night. made me miss my days of smoking pot. Veep was great. Silicon Valley was very funny. Penny Dreadful was absolutely wonderful last night. the acting in that episode should win awards for everyone. and finally, Last Week Tonight was great as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be part 1 of the season finale of The Voice and the season finale of Gotham. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw and then Mick Foley's interview with Shane McMahon on WWE Network.

i did listen to the latest Sam & Cathy podcast this afternoon. excellent as always.

so i woke up this morning to the news that Louis van Gaal had been sacked by Manchester United. late this afternoon, the club finally confirmed it. talk about a poorly held secret. i'm not a big fan of the way the Dutch play the sport, so my falling out of love with LVG's tactics was not surprising. i'm not sure what to think yet if Jose Mourinho is truly the best choice to be the next manager. i can't argue with the results, but i don't want to watch a team park the bus every game. of course, win the league, win the Champions League, FA Cup, etc. and i'll simply live with it while rejoicing. thankfully, LVG did win the FA Cup before departing, and seeing that it had been 12 years since Manchester United had won it, he'll always be remembered for bringing it back home. all in all, this should be a very interesting summer. especially when i saw today the rumor that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is going to be the first player Jose signs for the club. holy shit.

my uncle came over for a little bit yesterday. it's good to see him out and about, although he still has a hard time walking. it was the first time he had been over to the house in months. he's in remission and doing better. his goal was to make it to the summer. it'll be interesting to see how far he goes after that.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
