the last day of calm

 since tomorrow is supposed to be rainy, muggy and windy as fuck, i took today as the last day of calm. it was nice to just relax a bit and watch some soccer and unwind. of course, that only lasted for a few hours. mom had a nurse out here this afternoon. thankfully, her birthday gifts did arrive this morning. she loved the lamp and night light i got her. and we finally have some tomatoes showing up on the back porch. of course, with hail in the forecast tomorrow, i'm going to have to figure out where we can move the plants to save them. good times.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

the USWNT defeated Nigeria last night, 2-0.

the Yankees won last night against the Blue Jays, 3-2. they go for the sweep tonight.

i did watch most of the Euro 2020 games today. the best game of the day was Belgium coming from behind to beat Denmark, 2-1.

i might watch some of the Copa America tonight. i usually don't pass up the chance to watch Brazil play. Colombia and Venezuela are playing right now.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The United States of Al, Clarice and two episodes of Holey Moley. i watched NXT UK this afternoon on Peacock, it was really good.

i'm sure i'll watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs tonight.

i have no clue what time i will be on here tomorrow. the storms are supposed to start right after sunrise. so, i doubt i will get a good night of sleep. joy.

to the 14 members of the house that voted against Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday, please go fuck yourselves.

until tomorrow kids...

the rainy days are the worst...

i woke up this morning and my whole body was aching. i didn't have to look out the window to know it was fucking raining. i know, as i get older, this is only going to get worse. joy.

it's hard to believe the NFL Draft starts tonight. since the New Orleans Saints don't have a first round pick this year, i'm just interested in seeing where the Ohio State players go.

the New York Yankees were behind 5-0 last night. amazingly, they came back to win the game over the Angels, 6-5. they go for the sweep of the series tonight. of course, yet another injury as Clint Frazier is now on the injured list. that's the 15th player so far this season. just fucking crazy.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night. round 2 starts tonight.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

NXT was excellent last night, as was WWE Worlds Collide.

What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.

Dark Side of the Ring was about the murder of Bruiser Brody last night. i still remember watching his matches when i was a kid.

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

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Life in Pieces, Better Things and the series finale of Gotham.

i'll be flipping between the NFL Draft, playoff games in the NHL and NBA, some baseball and god knows what else tonight.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from the grocery store.

mom had the plumber out here this morning to fix our toilet. thankfully, it was an easy fix for him. i think tomorrow morning is the window guy. i don't think mom is happy at how much air gets through windows she paid about the price of a car for.

on top of everything else, it's supposed to rain like a motherfucker tonight. good times.

until tomorrow...

one of those days...

last night, i had the alcohol flowing; i was playing the new Thelonious Monk live album... all i was missing was the needle and a spoon. sadly, the poems never came, but i did enjoy getting lost in some old sounds.

i woke up this morning, said good morning to the muse and started to get ready to get shit together for the grocery store. of course, i quickly found out that today would entail 2 grocery stores, the drug store and getting gas.

sometime last night, i discovered this large red mark on my left leg. so, that adds another fucking color to my left leg. i have no fucking clue what it is. i've been putting some anti-itch ointment on it, hoping it would do something to it. so far, no fucking luck. so, i'll add that to the scroll i'll take to my doctor's appointment on October 2nd.

the New York Rangers won their last preseason game last night in Philadelphia, 4-2. i did watch a good portion of the game. i was a little surprised with the cuts the Rangers made today, but i will hold off any judgment for now. given a new coach and a new system, i'll allow things to play out before i get critical of management. at least for now... the Rangers season starts October 4th at home against Nashville.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny as well last night.

i felt bad for the muse last night while watching the game between the Vikings and Rams. that certainly wasn't the game to have any of those defenses on your fantasy team.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW and Real Time with Bill Maher.

the New York Yankees start their final regular season series tonight in Boston. this series really doesn't mean much. all the Yankees need is 1 victory or 1 Oakland A's loss and the Yankees will be hosting the wild card game next Wednesday. the winner of the game will go to Boston to play in the division series. i wouldn't mind if the Yankees just won tonight and got it over with.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays early in the morning.

the drug store was pretty good today other than this fucking kid yelling and hitting his grandmother about how he wanted a toy. of course, the grandmother didn't look that older than me. the local grocery store was pretty painless. the big grocery store was a fucking zoo. i did see a few beautiful women in there. of course, their children were with them as well. all in all, between the pills, the gas for the Highlander, the groceries and my $2 toy at the drug store, i spent somewhere around $260 today. fuck me. good thing mom will be paying me back soon. joy.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.
