one of those holiday Mondays...

i remember being in school and loving these holiday Mondays. but as an adult, especially one that does a lot of shit through the mail, these Monday holidays are just a pain in my ass. all it really means is the mailbox will be stuffed tomorrow.

i watched most of The Tonight Show anniversary special on NBC last night. i kept it on the DVR for anytime i just need a laugh.

Shameless was excellent last night. i really enjoyed the ending. Billions was very good as well.

i enjoyed Vinyl last night, mostly for the music. it clearly has Scorsese written all over it. hell, take any movie he's made for the last 20 years and you could pick it out in the 2 hours last night. i'm hoping it's a show that gets better with each week.

i really enjoyed Last Week Tonight last night. i missed the shit out of that show. it makes me laugh and think for 30 minutes each week. hardly any show can do that for me.

the best part of last night though was the New York Rangers. every Rangers fan on earth wanted some revenge last night and we actually got a little taste of it. props to Dylan McIlrath for cutting Wayne Simmonds open. props to Tanner Glass for fighting Ryan White. and props to Derek Stepan for showing the fuck up once again. and as always, props to The King. he set the record for Rangers goalies in all-time games last night. all in all, an excellent evening watching the Rangers win 3-1 and further damaging the chances of Philly making the playoffs.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The X-Files and Monday Night Raw.

i will be watching The Grammy Awards tonight. this is the night where the music junkie in me gets to have an orgy.

i might have watched 10 minutes or so of the NBA All-Star game yesterday. the player introductions and maybe the first few minutes. sadly, all the game really was for large portions was a glorified layup line. no "real" basketball game has a final score of 196-173.

here is a photo of the wind chime on my back porch to give you an idea of how cold it is here:

we got a fresh coating of snow yesterday. mom and i timed it pretty damn good. we got home from next door about 2 minutes before it started to snow.

hopefully the Grammy Awards are great tonight. music is one of the only things that really inspires me here lately.

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade today. i'll post the link below in the music section.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. hopefully your Valentine's Day was excellent.

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...
