a slight dusting of snow...

the winds were fucking crazy last night. it was a struggle to keep my mother's SUV in the lane last night on the highway. of course, i was going nearly 80 miles per hour for most of the ride home. we didn't get any snow on the drive back, but i did wake up to a little dusting this morning. i was more concerned with the temperature of 33 degrees. i guess winter wants to start early this year.

the hockey game was pretty fucking boring last night. there was easily more Toronto fans there than Blue Jackets fans. and they were the arrogant pricks i figured they would always be. i told my sister last night when i was going into the bathroom, if i'm not out in 10 minutes, i started a brawl. of course, nothing happened, but i did laugh at all the empty cans of LaBatt's around the bathroom. as for the game, Toronto won 4-1. they outplayed Columbus the entire game.

after going out to eat afterwards, we did get home in time to watch Sonic Highways on HBO. once again, the Foo Fighters knocked another one out of the park. another great episode. i did get a good laugh when most of the band had no clue who the country stars were on the walls when they were at the Grand Ole Opry.

i got my assignment from Janne Karlsson done before i left for the game yesterday. i love when a quick brainstorming session brings out something good. he liked what i wrote and is planning to submit it soon.

today will be a day of college football, maybe a little soccer, hockey, some laughs, some music and then, hopefully, some sleep.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Winnipeg. hopefully i am drinking a victory beer by the end of the game.

Ohio State plays tonight against Illinois. hopefully they win easily as i would like to watch most of the Auburn vs. Ole Miss game.

Saturday Night Live should be great tonight. Chris Rock hosting and Prince is the musical guest.

after that i'm planning on watching a new episode of ROH.

not sure if i'm going to the store today with mom or not. i know i won't be going to look at the house next to where her brother lives today. not sure i really want to live next to the people who birthed the girl that molested me. even as fucked up as i am, willfully bringing on such mental shit is even beyond me.

i'm cutting this a little short as i need to go feed the animals. i'm interested to see how the young cats did last night.

hope everyone is coping with the day after the sugar highs. have a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your 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...

at least the weather is nice

we had a bit of a plumbing nightmare yesterday as our water softener has more or less died. we'll be having a new one put in on Tuesday. needless to say, i won't be going to the tap for anything for the next few days. i'm basically waiting to see if the water we have now will glow in the dark or catch fire. fun.

i watched a few innings of the latest Yankee debacle last night. 4th loss in a row. i can't wait for this team to find bottom. hopefully it is soon. at least tonight's game is blacked out for me, so i won't be bothered with it.

i watched a little of the start of the Confederations Cup today. a nice tune-up for the World Cup next year. Brazil looked pretty good today.

my sister came down this morning. i got a look at her new car. looks really nice but there is basically no way i'll be in it. it sits way too low for my back. oh well. we did mom's birthday today. i think she was pretty pleased with her gifts. i have no clue if we're doing anything tomorrow. i believe my sister has to go back home tonight. maybe a Waffle House breakfast or something. or maybe not.

not sure what is going to win out for me this evening. the Batman movie on HBO or game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. given how i feel about sports these days, i'm leaning to Batman.

plenty of reports that the New York Rangers have hired a new coach. it's the guy i was hoping for, Vancouver's former coach. i wanted him simply so i wouldn't have to see one of my heroes get fired. besides, i don't think Messier is ready for it just yet.

that's pretty much all for today.

a quick tip to the muse, turn your phone off. that tends to help stop the calls you don't want. and get some more sleep, you need it.

peace and chicken grease.
