for the first time in my lifetime

i just watched Italy draw with Sweden, which means Italy will miss the World Cup for the first time since 1958. i think i am in total fucking shock at the moment.

my interview with Marcia Epstein went really well today. she seemed happy with it and i was happy with the poems i got to read, many of them i haven't read before for any recording. the hour we talked really flew by. when that interview comes out, i'll be sure to pass along any and all of the links.

Curb Your Enthusiasm was fucking hilarious last night.

the series finale of Vice Principals was great.

the season finale of Last Week Tonight was brilliant last night.

Shameless was excellent last night.

SMILF was a little dirty and very, very good last night.

enjoy music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

the New Orleans Saints are for real. they whipped Buffalo yesterday in Buffalo, 47-10. the Saints set a team record with 6 rushing touchdowns. they have all the elements of a team that can win in the playoffs; a good defense, a good running game and an elite quarterback. that was their 7th straight win. the last team to lose their first two games and win their next 7 were the 1993 Cowboys, who won the Super Bowl that year. i'm going to try to keep it calm and just go game by game, but i haven't been this excited for the Saints since 2009.

i think mom wants to go out shopping tomorrow. i'm going to try to convince her to do it early so i can be back home to watch the USA men's national team take on Portugal in a friendly tomorrow afternoon. i will probably be on here after that tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.
