a gloomy and dreary Monday

i got up later than i normally do this morning, throwing my entire rhythm off. it's on days like this that i realize how superstitious and crazy i really am at times. oh well.

i went out to feed the cats a little later than normal and noticed some sad shit. when i closed the door to the stall, i noticed one cat slinking in under the other door. not a big deal. then, i noticed that it was my cat Michael Jackson, dragging himself because, apparently, he can no longer use his hind legs. so, i know damn well that cat won't be along much longer. i'll be slightly shocked if i see it come morning.

i had a decent Sunday fantasy football wise. i'm leading in both matches, though it won't be until tonight that i will know if i win both of them or not. fingers are crossed.

as for the Sunday night shows...

Boardwalk Empire was brilliant as usual.

Eastbound and Down looks like it will be hilarious once again. it's the final season, so i hope they pull out all the stops.

Hello Ladies looks like it is going to be really funny and sad at the same time. it hit way too close to home on my own unspectacular dating life.

over to Showtime...

Homeland is one of my favorite shows ever. it doesn't look like this season is going to do anything to change that.

Masters of Sex was the winner for me last night. this show is pretty close to perfect in my eyes. history, which i love, sex, which i love more, some great writing and acting, it will be a show i will definitely look forward to each week.

tonight will be plenty of bouncing between The Voice and Monday Night Raw. i'm sure i will throw in some NFL and baseball as well, though i will probably just follow them online more than anything.

i did happen to catch a little of the Yankees finishing off their season yesterday with a win in 14 innings. they finish the season at 85-77. i found that funny because i believe the over/under number at the beginning of the season for win was 84 1/2. yet another example of why i don't gamble anymore.

if i happen to find myself up at 3 in the morning like i was last night, i figure i will go through some poems and decide where to send some stuff. after having a couple more places decide on what they wanted, i definitely have more poems to choose from now.

that is all. hope this finds you in a better mood than me.

humidity, bad driving, shopping, and fried foods

mom decided she wanted to go out shopping today and asked if i wanted to tag along. i decided, seeing that i am apparently a glutton for punishment, to say yes.

we had to first turn in the rental car for her regular SUV, that was in the shop because it needed a new censor. once that was done, it was a trip to get her medicine, and then lunch. our normal sports bar we frequent every blue moon or so. then, a trip out to the bank and i'm starting to think i've been hoodwinked and there will be no shopping. but, after a quick trip home we were off to south of town. mom wanted to buy some new gym shoes for her upcoming vacation in a few days. i decided i was going to go a few doors down and do some used books and music shopping. what i really love about the place i went is they say hi and then leave you alone. if you need help, ask. if you don't, good. i did find some good music that i didn't have, all at decent prices. on the trip back home i noticed all these fucks on the road connected to cell phones, speeding, and basically not giving a shit about anything around them. i'm so happy i rarely drive anymore. i'd be too tempted to run those fucks off the road.

holy shit, the Yankees actually won last night, 10-4. most runs they have scored in like 6 weeks. that victory beer tasted so good last night. here's hoping i get another one tonight.

i'll be going between that, Deadliest Catch and Big Brother tonight. probably not so much on Big Brother as i read all the online blogs about the show and pretty much know what's going to happen.

the humidity has roughly been at 95% almost all day long. hopefully it rains tonight and provides some damn relief. i'm pretty damn sick of this rain, no relief, a little fog, sun comes out, thunderstorm, no relief, a little fog, sun heats up again, humidity at least 90% all the damn time, fucking cycle we're on. and honestly, there's no end in sight.

at least the corn looks like it has completely rebounded from the drought from last year.

there's your example of making chicken salad from chicken shit.

hope everyone has a good one.
