as i was watching one of the players i picked up in hopes of winning my fantasy hockey championship get injured in the first period last night, i figured this could be the start of a very long week. by the way, i ended up losing the championship 6-4.
my yesterday started off with Manchester United playing Arsenal to a 1-1 draw. the guys didn't seem very interested for most of the game. and their disinterest pissed me off to the point of spending most of the second half feeding the cats and picking up trash.
thankfully, the New York Yankees had yet another comeback in them to complete the four game sweep of the Blue Jays. this team, at least at the beginning of the season, has something the franchise hasn't had in a few years. clutch hitting. i certainly don't mind winning close games after a few years of only winning games slow pitch softball style. the series with Houston starts tonight. hopefully the winning streak continues.
very good episodes of Nurse Jackie, Veep, and Vice last night. that helped take my mind off of things for awhile. hopefully The Voice and Monday Night Raw are good tonight as well.
the New York Rangers playoff series doesn't start until Thursday. hopefully the extra days help some of the injured players get ready for a tough series against the Capitals.
the poet of the day on my Google+ page is James Babbs. i have enjoyed his work over the years. you can find a good bit of it at http://www.myfavoritebullet.com/PPbabbs.html
and speaking of poetry, i sent out 6 poems today to Dead Snakes and The Camel Saloon. when i hear back from these places i'll pass along the results here.
i'm hoping the day starts getting better here soon. i haven't been into town yet to get the mail, so i have no clue where the day goes from there. i believe i have some toilets to clean and a beard to shave off. and given my current frustration with things, i might as well just keep going up the head with the electric shaver.
