Eff a sports bar

I'm listening to Gil and Gino today!

She speaks for me

In the minority I reside, but it's not for lack of effort. By no means am I trying to stir up shit, I was just excited to see Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney sum up it up so concisely:
"Nude"
Artist: Radiohead
Album: In Rainbows
Biggest Letdown: "The disappointment is not in Radiohead as much as it is in myself. And Radiohead always reminds what a letdown I am because I never really get it. I cannot be the only person who feels that way. I like music that is difficult and challenging but there's this blankness that I can't get over."

Yay for double standards!

"HGH doesn't make you hit the ball farther, run faster or throw harder. This is completely different from steroids. Pettitte just wanted to get healthy and help his team."
- Tim Kurkjian


By the way, here's Kurkjian before Clemens and Pettitte were named: "Hopefully, the Mitchell Report will help address ways to rid the game of HGH and all other performance-enhancing drugs."

Holiday Football (or Basketball with Mittens On)?

Now that I have sufficiently repaired relations with my family over key issues like whether or not they like the Sopranos ending, and if my Dad should or should not kill Sojo for the "Go Rafe" chant (yet again), I will be heading home from December 15th to 31st (then New Years in Boston most likely).

So my question is, will people be home, will they be playing football, and can I put the thermals on again and join in? Bruce, no "no-show" jokes, please. Even with my five years of absence from any of these games there are no distractions imagineable on MV in December that could keep me away from interacting with other humans, so count me as the first one in.

How about a simple head-count and dates from the crew?
