the bitter cold and old bones just don't mix

after i got in from feeding the cats i told my mother we weren't going to go to the basketball game tonight. she didn't want to go last night but i insisted that we would be. that was, until i actually went out into the cold. holy fuck! it's really fucking cold. i believe i was outside when we hit our high of the day, 7 degrees. with the wind, it felt like a balmy -25. with my bad back and my shitty pinched nerves and my mother's general hatred for the cold, there's no point going out when the game is on television.

so, that does alter my plans for the evening. the Dayton Flyers basketball game starts at 6. the New York Rangers play at 7. The Big Bang Theory is on at 8. so, it looks like i'll have a busy night in front of a heater and a tv.

how i didn't see any dead cats today is truly beyond me. of course, i only saw 12 of the 20. either the rest are hiding or have taken that long nap where i can't find them.

i figure what i might also do tonight is start packing some shit. i guess that's what you do when you move. i haven't had to do that since 1997.

Lucha Underground was excellent once again last night. here are some highlights from the show:

i had to change the water filter in the cellar today. the rust in our water is getting out of hand. of course, the only filters i have are ones that just take way the sediment. they don't do anything for smell. so, i'm really looking forward to my shower here in a few minutes.

can you tell i'm getting sick of the farm yet?

watched a little of the NBA trade deadline coverage today. i wish Sacramento would have done more, but at least they have a great head coach again. hopefully George Karl can get them back to being relevant once again.

that's all for me today. i will be on here sometime tomorrow. mom has to take the car in to get some basic shit done to it. i have no clue if she's getting a rental or not. so, i'll be home alone for a little while tomorrow. everyone knows what that means... porn.

i hope you are warm wherever you are. and if you're not warm, hopefully you are drunk. 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...
