at least the sun is out

that's pretty much all i can say when i look outside and it is 4 degrees out. at least the sun is out. the windchill was close to -20 or so, but at least the sun is out. much to my amazement today, i didn't find any dead cats. of course, i only saw 14 of the 20. but, i think we'll be moved out of here before i'll be able to find them from the stench of death alone. of course, we still have a few cold as fuck nights ahead as well.

last night was pretty good. the New York Rangers exploded in the 3rd period to beat Arizona 5-1. the boys are clicking on offense right now and Cam Talbot is certainly finding a good rhythm in net. this will be all be tested though when they play at the fucking Islanders tomorrow night. that's a game they really need to win just to prove to themselves they can beat that team. here are the highlights from last night:

i enjoyed most of the NBA All-Star festivities last night. i was certainly interested in the 3 point contest as that was my forte when i played basketball. they guy i thought would win did:

as for the dunk contest, i really didn't have a clue who would win. but, rather quickly, i figured it out. as most people have pointed out, this was exactly what the dunk contest needed:

i think i fell asleep before the first commercial break last night during ROH. thankfully, i got to see the episode today at noon. it was fucking amazing. the main event was awesome. the singles matches were great. and i loved how the matches were booked as all 3 of them told a story. that's something that the WWE could really learn from.

i know i have no prayer of watching everything i want to watch tonight on television. most of my evening will be the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. with all the amazing people scheduled to appear, i can't wait to see that. it should be fucking awesome. the problem is it will be on when every other fucking thing i want to watch tonight will be on. so, i will do my best to stay awake LATE to catch the shows on HBO and Showtime, but i'm pretty damn sure i'm going to be trying to catch up on Monday. i figure i will switch over to the NBA All-Star game during the commercial breaks tonight.

that's all for me today. i may try to get in a long nap before tonight or more likely, i'll try to get some reading and writing done. i certainly am a glutton for punishment.

i hope everyone is having a great weekend. hopefully you're not currently in a fucking blizzard or ice storm like most of this country is at the moment. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

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...
