like watching the Mona Lisa burn...

i saw that line on the internet today while people were watching the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris burn. it's a hell of a way for Holy Week to start.

i didn't get to bed last night until 6 this morning. i'm not sure why insomnia is taking over my body. part of me wonders if my circle is nearly complete and my body is simply getting it all out before i die. i didn't have my usual coffee this morning. so, maybe that means i might actually go to bed before the fucking sun comes up.

part of me still can't believe that Tiger Woods won the Masters yesterday.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:

and your highlights from the NHL playoffs yesterday:

the New York Yankees lost yesterday to the White Sox, 5-2.

i did watch a good portion of the USA winning the Women's World Championship in hockey for the 5th straight year. i do feel bad for Finland though.

Barry was excellent last night.

Veep was hilarious last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

Billions was very good last night.

The Chi was great once again last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw and the NBA & NHL playoffs for most of the evening.

here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

i had to go to the grocery store today to take some paperwork to the pharmacy for mom. apparently, since the pharmacy fucked up and charged medications to her old insurance, which the old insurance paid for, my mother has a $700 bill from her old insurance that they have turned over to a collection agency. i told mom to fight that tooth and nail since it was never her fault that her old job never updated the insurance company or that the pharmacy was lazy and just billed the first thing that popped up, even after she was on Medicare. and of course, i went up there right as the local high school near the grocery store was letting out. talk about a clusterfuck.

i'll be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays at Barcelona in the Champions League. i would love to think United will pull off another miracle, but my hopes aren't nearly as high as they were against PSG.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. and i hope everyone has their taxes all figured out and filed.

Tuve un sueño que un viejo amante me mató anoche

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...
