drizzle to start the day

i installed Windows 10 on the seldom used laptop i'm using now. i was hoping it was going to be done overnight. my dumb ass forgot to change the standby settings, so it was only halfway done. so most of this morning was getting that done. mom went to the hospital to go see her brother. she asked me when the Red-Blue game is today, so i'm at least assuming she's thinking about going to it.

i just heard from my mother. i guess the cancer is outside of my uncle's colon. it is rare, so rare that most of the doctors have no clue what the fuck it is. so i think my sister's thought to at least send the records to Columbus or Cleveland and their cancer centers is the correct route to go. not saying that i think an 80 year old man is going to beat this, but the cancer being on the outside is a bit of a game changer. or, this could all be just silly people trying to grasp at some ray of fucking hope. who knows.

Undateable last night was excellent. my only complaint is the show is so damn funny, it's too short.

NJPW last night was good. it's the same matches that i watched in January of this year, but that was at 3 in the morning, so i don't mind seeing these matches again.

The Knick was great. this season looks like it is going to be just as great as last season was.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Austin City Limits. i believe the artist tonight is Don Henley.

Ohio State plays tonight at Rutgers. i want to believe since they are finally starting the correct quarterback, the blowouts will now commence.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Philadelphia. that should be an interesting game.

since i now have Windows 10 on here, i may try to type up some poems just to get the feel of doing it on here and printing them out on a printer in another room. as you might imagine, technology and i have been at war for most of my life.

just found out that my sister has landed in South Africa. she told mom that if the wi-fi is good enough at the hotel, she will email. i'm hoping she takes some good pictures because i know damn well i'll never make it there in my lifetime.

i listened to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast late the other night. it is really worth a listen if you would like to hear Roman Reigns the way he should actually sound on television.

you can hear the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, notsam.com and on the right hand side of this blog.

that's all for me today. i hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday. take it easy and then take it again. have a good bottle of wine and eat like you are a god. and if you happen to feel like sending me some naughty photos of it all, you are more than welcome to do so.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...

progress... kind of

so, i thought i had charged the battery for the power drill. i mean, it was plugged in for almost 4 days. so when it died while i was trying to drill a hole to hang something in the living room last night, i was a bit pissed. so like any rational red blooded fool, i took out the drill bit and got a hammer and decided to use elbow grease instead. it took way longer than it should have, but everything that was supposed to be put up last night was.

and then in a sudden moment of fuck it, why not, or i was just really tired of the thing popping up on the computer, i upgraded to Windows 10 last night. i believe everything transferred. now, if you are a person who relies on Microsoft for everything, you should enjoy Windows 10. as for myself, this was more of an exercise to prove that i can get a handle on "modern" technology. this coming from a guy who has never sent a text message.

the upgrade happened overnight, so i didn't get nearly as much sleep as i wanted to. thankfully, i got in a good cat nap this morning and i should be good to go.

a little poetry news to pass on. i heard back from Conduit on the poems i sent back in January. they decided to pass on them and didn't send them back as i requested. that made it so much fun yesterday trying to find the 5 poems among the 5 years worth of material i have on one thumb drive. good times.

and since it is Sunday, time for some culture:

the New York Yankees got some great pitching from Tanaka yesterday and broke out the long ball to beat Toronto 4-1. that puts the Yankees up 1 1/2 games in the division now. they go for the sweep this afternoon.

the season ending episode of Power last night was excellent. a few nice swerves and a oh shit ending that should definitely make for an interesting season three.

ROH was excellent last night. you really can't go wrong with a show that includes Dalton Castle and the Young Bucks.

i believe mom and i are going to try to either get more stuff up on the walls today or put together some shelves in the garage.

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex, Ballers, The Brink, The Strain and Last Week Tonight.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. as long as i don't suddenly find that some file is lost in the cloud somewhere, my Saturday was pretty damn good. hopefully all of our Sundays will be as well. currently i'm watching Manchester Shitty take on Chelsea. it's hard watching a game where you hope both teams lose.

enjoy the drinks and the sun. the order you do so is up to you.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
