one miserable Tuesday

took my truck in this morning to get fixed and got a phone call from the mechanic around noon. apparently my power steering was leaking bad, both of my front brakes are fucked and both wheels are fucked as well. he was a bit shocked that i was able to drive it there at all. i really can't wait to see how much all of this is going to cost. and there's a really good chance i'll be without a vehicle until next week. joy.

throw in a pointless argument with the muse this morning and weather that is hot and miserable; and you can surely imagine my mood.

which is really sad as i was overjoyed beyond belief last night at how the Stanley Cup was decided. to watch Boston blow a 2-1 lead in the last minute or so of a game at home that they needed to win to force game 7 was as shocking as it was purely fucking beautiful. congrats to Chicago on being the best team all season long.

now i can start turning my attention to the NBA and NHL drafts and baseball. the Yankees play against Texas tonight. not sure if i really want to watch or not.

i will be watching Deadliest Catch this evening.

Monday Night Raw was really good again last night. after seeing who is going to be in the Money in the Bank ladder match, i'm damn near tempted to order it. and congrats to Daniel Bryan on another incredible night of performing. i truly hope they give him another title run SOON.

and a little alert to anyone who wastes their time reading this blog, my 1 weird, guilty pleasure tv obsession starts back up soon, Big Brother. sadly, i've been hooked on this show for years. if i actually had any ambition, i would try out for it.

so most of today has been spent playing sad music while watching porn and trying to stay cool. we're under a severe thunderstorm watch at the moment. i doubt we get anything. the crops and mom's new flowers could use some rain though.

hope everyone is good.

music today:

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Push The Sky Away
Beth Orton - Sugaring Season
TV on the Radio - Nine Types of Light

all things must end

so the Yankees finally lost after 10 wins in a row. it was bound to happen given that they still can't hit with runners in scoring position. and any game where you get 2 runners thrown out at the plate, you deserve to lose. the train ride starts back up tomorrow. hopefully.

watched a good bit of the NBA finals game 4 tonight. looks like the Heat have learned a few lessons.

funny how the internet has been screwy for me lately but make a phone call, bitch and moan, get some free shit and suddenly it's working fine again. interesting.

i'll be sending out 8 poems here soon to 2 places. more details to come.

enjoyed Deadliest Catch again tonight, maybe one of the best shows on tv.

took a nice nap during EURO 2012 today. between the heat and how England plays, a nap was much easier than paying attention. was nice to see Rooney playing again though.

music for today:
