and now the melting begins...

at least i was able to walk down the driveway this afternoon and there was no ice on it. that certainly made getting the trash out way easier.

i sat in on a video call with mom and her financial planner this morning. i am really happy with the direction he is going for mom's retirement. if the market keeps going up and mom can wait on needing money for awhile, she'll be set for the rest of her life easily. plus, that will (hopefully) leave a little for me as well.

the grocery store wasn't that busy this afternoon. i actually was able to find everything i was looking for. $75 for everything and that includes nearly $20 for fucking eye drops.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night.

David Bowie: The Last Five Years was great last night. as one reviewer put it, David taught all of us how to die.

i did watch a good portion of the end of the game last night between Alabama and Georgia. i laughed when i saw the screen shots from the Alabama message board from earlier in the season, worrying about a QB from Hawaii being able to bridge the communication gap with players from the South. the ignorance of some people is truly fucking sad. i was stunned when the kicker from Alabama missed the FG that would have won the game in regulation. and honestly, i figured when the game got to OT, if one team had to settle for a FG, the other team was going to win it on a TD. sure enough. Alabama won in OT over Georgia, 26-23.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown and Drop the Mic. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Richmond. i don't think the game is on television tonight. at least if it is, i'm not searching for it. i get the funny feeling Dayton is going to find a way to lose tonight to team with just 3 wins.

my arthritis has really been fucking with me today. i think most of tonight is going to be in my chair, seeing if i can freeze the pain away. joy.

that's all for me kids.

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...
