well, Spain certainly showed me that my guts have shit for brains. they absolutely destroyed Italy. i think i can feel pretty safe in my thoughts that they are the greatest national team in history. all in all, a pretty good EURO 2012. in a few weeks club pre-season play starts, so i'll enjoy all the rumors in the meantime.
a little underwhelmed with what the New York Rangers did yesterday. i don't think they made any mistakes actually, just curious to see how it will all work out. it will be hard watching Brandon Prust wearing a Montreal sweater. good for him to get the money and i'm really hoping one of the kids can step up on the penalty kill.
was nice to see the Yankees get a split of the series with the White Sox. kudos to Phil Hughes for putting on his big boy pants for a change and showing the lessons he has learned over the years. to get shit on in the first and then last 7 more innings and allow basically nothing, in that heat, fucking impressive.
speaking of heat, the run of 90 + degree days continue. can't be long until the insanity begins i imagine. at least i'm hoping...

on a humid saturday
always nice when the Yankees get some good pitching, a few home runs and a win the day after having their asses handed to them by the White Sox. i'm looking forward to old timer's day tomorrow so i can feel older than i really am.
finally got a little rain last night. of course, it came with thunder, lightning and 60 m.p.h. winds. had a nice leak in the kitchen and the power went out just for a few seconds, knock on wood. but the crops desperately needed what we got and we didn't have much damage than a few limbs. better than most in this area, some will be without power until the 4th of July. Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
after hitting 102 and 99 degrees the last two days, so far today has topped out at 94. although, with the humidity it feels like 100. that could be my black t-shirt, i don't know. we're supposed to be in the 90's for the time being. like they usually are, i'm hoping the forecasts are wrong.
music for today:
Tori Amos - Boys for Pele
Big Head Todd and the Monsters - Sister Sweetly
Guided By Voices - Let's Go Eat the Factory
Lana Del Rey - Born to Die

this was supposed to be posted about 4 1/2 hours ago but thanks again to Frontier Communications, my fucking internet was out for that time. i'm hoping there was either a horrific car accident that knocked it out or there better be a death involved. i'm just saying...

well well well
thank god i'm not a betting man any longer. Italy defended like gods today and it still stuns me that after all these years, Germany can't beat Italy when it truly matters. 2 great goals from that fucker Balotelli, though i'll never be happy for a guy who plays for Manchester City. should make for a very interesting EURO 2012 final with Spain.
as of sitting down to write this, it's 102 degrees outside. first time this area has hit 100 or more since 1988. spent 10 minutes outside giving the cats more water and felt like i stumbled into the Sahara. holy fuck it's hot.
busy night of tv ahead for me. NBA draft, Yankees vs. White Sox, Wilfred and Louie on FX, might sneek in a view of that turd of a show Duets and god knows what else. as long as the a/c holds up, i'm good.
music today:
Fitz and the Tantrums - Pickin' Up the Pieces
