finally, a good start to a Sunday...

 so, i got what i guess i can call some decent sleep last night. my arms weren't killing me the entire time. and i got what i needed to get done this morning (put the dishes away, make coffee) in time to watch Manchester United play at Leeds.

when United went up 2-0 by halftime, i was pretty pleased. of course, by 10 minutes into the second half, it was 2-2. thankfully, Fred of all people scored the game winner. Anthony Elanga added in the insurance and United won 4-2.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at Saint Joseph's, 74-62.

Celebrity Big Brother was just some of the never before seen moments from this season last night. the season will thankfully be over on Wednesday.

WWE Elimination Chamber was pretty good yesterday. my hunch was correct, as i figured one of the main events of WrestleMania would be Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns, title vs. title. i didn't see the Bobby Lashley injury angle coming, but it makes sense. 

NBA Saturday Night was good for the most part. the dunk contest sort of dragged on, mostly because i think most of the guys were trying to do dunks they can't do. at least Obi Toppin did dunks he knew he could make. and he won, finally.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Celebrity Big Brother, Power Book IV: Force, Billions, Euphoria, The Righteous Gemstones, Somebody Somewhere and Last Week Tonight.

the Daytona 500 is today. i will probably watch a little of that.

the USWNT takes on New Zealand today in their second game of the SheBelieves Cup.

the New York Rangers play today at Ottawa. this is a game the Rangers need to win.

the NBA All-Star game is tonight. i might watch some of that.

i should be on here tomorrow after mom has her physical therapy session.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

until tomorrow kids...

frustration, say hello to my good friend depression...

 so, i had this feeling in the back of my head that my healthcare bullshit would only get more fucking crazy today. i was right. i believe what is going on is Anthem never cancelled my old policy that was supposed to expire on Dec. 31, 2021. that is why my new insurance, that is nearly $1,000 cheaper than my old policy, isn't showing up when it should be as it started Jan. 1, 2022. so, i had requested Anthem to call me between 3 and 3:30 today so i could get all this shit figured out. mind you, i also talked to Rite-Aid and asked them to transfer my prescriptions from Kroger to the Rite Aid in the town i live in. of course, that never happened. neither did the fucking call from Anthem. so, i went back to Kroger and got in line to get my fucking pills, mostly because i would run out of these starting tomorrow. i took a GoodRx card with me, hoping it would lower the prices. the lady asked me if i had insurance and i explained to her what was going on and told her i wanted to use the GoodRx card because i need these pills. she understood and put the card into the system. that brought the prices down from $75 to less than $35. that works for me. i paid for them and thanked the lady very much. i still need to figure out the chaos going on with Anthem, but at least i have one less fucking thing to be stressed out about. 

it was colder than fuck today. i believe the wind chill definitely got under 0 last night.

so, i was saddened to see that Sidney Poitier died today. one of my favorite humans to ever walk the face of the earth.

the New York Rangers lost at Vegas last night, 5-1. i should have known it was coming when their starting goalie got placed on the COVID list right before the start of the game.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

United States of Al was good last night.

B Positive was very good last night.

Vice News Tonight had two very strong episodes this week.

here are your highlights from the NBA last night:

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before noon when Dayton plays at George Washington in an empty arena. the dystopian nightmare begins again. joy.

i do believe we're finally going to take down the Christmas decorations this weekend. 

the scab finally came off on my middle finger today. i have a little hole on the right side of my middle finger. as much as i use that fucker in this world, i understand.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i think it is supposed to be a little warmer this weekend, but rainy. so yeah, i'll be pissy. what else is new?

until tomorrow kids...

my mother has come home

 my mother got released from the hospital today. she has lost some weight and knows she nearly died. so, now i get to go on this journey with her. the next few weeks will be doctor visit after doctor visit and i'm sure she's going to be just thrilled.

the Dayton Flyers defeated Saint Louis last night, 76-53. i was totally fucking shocked that Dayton absolutely destroyed them. i thought the lineup change was perfect for Dayton and will hopefully help them the rest of the season.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

Painting with John was great last night. the season finale is next week.

both episodes of Hip Hop Uncovered were great last night.

i would give my left arm for a good night of sleep...

hard to believe Kurt Cobain would have been 53 today. i still remember the exact spot i was in when i heard he died.

i didn't sleep worth a shit last night. maybe 2 hours at best in my bed. a little over 2 hours in the chair.  i didn't really feel like i was awake until 2 this afternoon. good times.

the New York Rangers won last night in Chicago, 6-3. things are going to get real interesting at the trade deadline if they keep on winning.

The Masked Singer was good last night.

NXT was really good last night.

AEW was excellent last night.

Miz & Mrs was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, The Unicorn, Will & Grace, Indebted and Desus & Mero.

i already watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was pretty good.

i see the New York Yankees are off to a shitty start regarding last year's biggest fucking problem, injuries. yesterday it was Aaron Judge and today its Luis Severino. fuck me.

Manchester United played a 1-1 draw today in the Europa League. hopefully, that away goal comes in handy next week.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get all the grocery shopping done.

it's way fucking colder today than the last few days. i thought we were supposed to have an early Spring. fucking groundhog.

until tomorrow kids...

about 5 inches of snow, joy...

the guys that shoveled us out this morning said we got around 5 inches of snow overnight. i was hoping it would be melting by now, but it isn't. so, that should be a fun drive to take mom to physical therapy this afternoon.

the Dayton Flyers had a 19 point lead last night at Davidson. they did everything possible to piss that lead away. it's so fucking obvious that Dayton's coach doesn't have a killer instinct at all. the goal when you're up 19 on the road in the second half should be to do everything possible to make that lead 30. instead, Dayton chose to hold the ball, bleed the clock and take themselves out of any rhythm. just so fucking stupid. Davidson eventually tied the game and considering their home winning streak, probably should have won. Josh Cunningham made a free throw with 2.2 seconds left in the game as Dayton won, 74-73.

the New York Rangers got 43 saves from The King last night and won at Carolina, 2-1.

Smackdown was really good last night.

205 Live was good last night as well.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer, You're The Worst and Drop the Mic. i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i will probably watch some of Duke vs. North Carolina tonight. if they both play to their potential, that should be an amazing college basketball game.

remind me again why i root for the Sacramento Kings?

i woke up this morning and went through my emails. since i didn't watch much of the NBA All-Star game last night, i had no clue what kind of stupid shit the Sacramento Kings did last night. i figured they would trade DeMarcus Cousins, but i figured it would be for more than some fucking spare parts and draft picks. but, once again, it's the Sacramento Kings. they can't get anything right, no matter what the fuck it is. so, they traded Cousins and Omri Casspi to New Orleans for Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway, Tyreke Evans and a 1st and 2nd round draft pick in this year's draft. the first round pick can't be a top 3 pick, so most likely it will be around 10 or so. so they traded an All-Star for 3 guards that stink and two picks they will fuck up. great. at least Boogie gets out and now gets to play with his good friend Anthony Davis. the Kings are definitely testing my fucking loyalty on this one.

the NBA All-Star game was mostly a dunk exhibition and a glorified pick up game from what i did see.

Homeland was really good last night.

Billions was good last night. i do see why so many people think the show is bad though.

Big Little Lies was excellent last night. i never read the book, so i was coming into the show not knowing what to expect. i do love a well acted murder mystery.

Girls was pretty funny last night.

Crashing was really fucking funny last night. i love comedy and know of so many of the comics in the show, i really think i will enjoy it.

Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Hate Thy Neighbor and Unlocking the Cage. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

mom made an appointment to take the car in today to get an oil change and whatever else needs to be done to it. it has over 220,000 miles on it, so i figure some maintenance will have to happen. she told me about it this morning that she had it changed to this afternoon. that's why i am doing this now.

i managed to get some sleep last night without the help of NyQuil, so hopefully the worst of my cold is now over. of course, i figure the 2 rum and cokes last night did help me sleep.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

another day, another winter storm warning

well, i finally started to pack things up today. mostly just some knickknacks and baseball cards. so, it was sort of like boxing up my youth. i still have all my music and books to get to. i think i'll have to take what i have already boxed over to the new house first and just bring those empty boxes back to the farm. this would be totally easier if it wasn't the fucking winter or if i had a vehicle that was actually reliable. but, this is my life, so nothing happens the easy way.

we're under yet another fucking winter storm warning. we could have 5-8 inches of snow by tomorrow night, or, we could have a shit load of ice. neither sounds good to me.

i did see 17 cats today. i should have known that was a sign that some shit was coming.

The Big Bang Theory was very good last night. i truly love how they can go from funny to totally serious in a second. that's how life is most days.

the New York Rangers blew 3 leads last night and lost 5-4 to Vancouver in a shootout. at least they got a point out of the game. they play tonight in Buffalo. this is a game they have to win. the rookie goalie is making his debut tonight. hopefully he does what he did when he had his debut in the AHL (shutout). i'd really like to be drinking a victory beer tonight.

the Dayton Flyers did not play last night. the bench only got 3 points. thankfully, the starters just don't seem to ever run out of gas. Dayton got their 20th win of the season by beating St. Joe's 68-64. congrats to Dyshawn Pierre on getting his 1,000th point of his career. this kid is only going to get better. here are the highlights from last night's win:

other than hockey tonight, i'll probably squeeze in some NJPW and Treehouse Masters.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before the Manchester United game. since Dayton plays in the early afternoon, i suppose i should get my ass up and get some shit done in the morning.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully your weather is much better than mine. do something crazy this weekend and tell the world about it. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
