had an afternoon of watching team USA in women's water polo (you're right if you think i was just watching hoping for underwater bare breasts) win a gold medal, team USA in women's soccer get a little revenge on Japan and win gold 2-1 (thank you Carli Lloyd and Hope Solo) and then the Yankees overcome the weather and shitty umpires and get a split against the Tigers (thank god Eric Chavez has found the fountain of youth). not a bad way to spend a few hours.
started off this morning listening to episode #25 of The Sam Roberts Show Online. another great podcast and another mention of my name. go to http://notsam.com/podcast.html to check out the shows and help him out if you can.
i sent out 3 poems to Jellyfish Whispers at the request of Russell over at The Camel Saloon. hopefully his instincts are good and i have good news to report soon.
weather permitting (the only drawback of DIRECTV quite honestly) i'll be enjoying my usual Thursday night fare. hopefully Janelle gets evicted tonight on Big Brother and then FX continues to entertain the shit out of me with Wilfred and Louie.
and tomorrow will be a laundry day and if no one fucks up at my local post office, my shipment from amazon.com should be waiting for me. shaping up to be 2 good days in a row. holy fucking shit.
music today:
Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown
Tom Waits - Bad As Me

and then BOOM!
it was another Yankee game where i find myself wondering in the middle innings why the fuck do i bother to watch this team. constantly swinging at bad pitches and getting fooled by a guy with a bad arm and nothing over 85 mph.
and then BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a walk, a misplayed fly ball double and a home run. 3 pitches, score tied. 2 batters later Eric Chavez hits the first pinch hit home run of his injury riddled career and the Yankees have the lead. and then the best bullpen in baseball, even without the hammer of god (Mariano Rivera) struck out nearly everyone left in the game. a nice way to end a losing streak.
i have no clue if the Yankees will be able to hit a knuckle ball tonight or not.
i also have no clue who is going to win today between England and Italy in EURO 2012 action. could be a great chess match or just what i need for an afternoon nap. regardless, i think the finals will be Spain and Germany. both are just playing too good at the moment.
chance of rain tonight. yeah right.
looking forward to the new HBO show tonight, the newsroom or whatever the fuck it's called. looks like it will be pretty good.
music for today:
Shooter Jennings - Family Man
Various Artists - Sweet Relief II: Gravity of the Situation (the songs of Vic Chesnutt)
