a little of this and that

i always find it amusing when i have a load of clothes in the washer, another load in the dryer, and out of nowhere a pop-up thunderstorm shows up. Directv going in and out and i just know, the power is next. thankfully, that didn't happen.

besides a ton of laundry to do, i was planning on going cat hunting before the rains hit. i haven't seen my cat Langston Hughes in a few days now, which is very unlike her. tomorrow is supposed to be near monsoon conditions, so i guess Friday will be a search day if she doesn't show up.

the poet of the day on my Google+ page is Kevin M. Hibshman. Kevin is one of my favorite people i have come to know over all my years as a poet. plus, he published me numerous times in one of my favorite zines ever, Fearless. seek out his work, i urge you.

if anyone is interested in hearing some behind the scenes details of Wrestlemania week in New York City, please go check out episode #50 of the Sam Roberts Show Online. you can find this podcast at iTunes, Stitcher, and by going to notsam.com.

i really enjoyed the Yankees ass whipping of Cleveland last night, 14-1. that's the beauty of an old team, or experienced when they are going good, they always kill shitty pitching. that could be why they have stunk in the playoffs the last few years. hopefully, another ass whipping is in store for tonight and for the first time this season, a series win.

i'll be flipping between that and the New York Rangers game tonight with Toronto, finishing off the back half of a home and home. yet another MUST win game tonight. i'm hoping the defense is much tighter than it was on Monday.

i did enjoy The Voice last night. good to see a little preview of the battle rounds. that's when the show gets really good. some pretty strong voices this season. i'll be interested if anyone breaks out like Cassadee did last season.

hope everyone is having a good hump day. if the rain becomes "epic" tomorrow, i'll try to get some pictures. until then...
