what a little sunshine can do

i was able to stretch my back out last night, at least to the point where i could walk without fearing it would lock up and drop me. that eased my mind enough that i was actually able to get some decent sleep. that and the humidity breaking a little bit.

i actually put on my sunglasses today for the first time in weeks. of course, there's a chance of rain for the next 18 hours. but, that little bit of sun did raise my spirits some. or, it could have been the college girl i watched masturbate in her college library for most of the morning. either or...

hopefully the Yankees can start a new winning streak tonight against the Royals. it's HOPE week at Yankee Stadium. they usually have pretty good success during this week.

i am really looking forward to the debut of the Wyatt Family tonight on Monday Night Raw. after all those creepy vignettes, i really hope the writers don't fuck this up. plus, the show has been on a pretty good run. hopefully that continues.

Ray Donovan last night was great. i am hooked on that show for sure. i believe The Newsroom starts up soon as well. my luck both will be at the same time. thank god for the west coast feeds.

my mother called me today from Savannah, Georgia. i believe that is the final stop on their vacation. from the sound of it, she's bringing back some honey from this little shop in town. i've had it before and it is amazing.

the New York Rangers signed their best d-man to a 6 year contract today. when i heard the average hit on the salary cap was 4.7 million i was happy. the rumblings over the weekend was it was going to be around 6 million. this leaves a little more money to sign the other restricted free agents.

i'm hoping they have picked up the trash by now. it wasn't gone by the usual time this morning when i went into town to get the mail. i was planning on going into town to get some dinner tonight, so i'm hoping i won't have to make a third trip to get the cans.

that is all. i will hopefully have some poetry news for you soon.
