Even I Get Boreded!

Quick on hits on a Tired Tuesday.

 

- Monday Night Football and the World Series both need to start earlier. I'm too old for this stuff, and I wake up too early.

 

- I predicted a Stillers loss last night of 16 - 13. Glad I was close. Glad I was wrong.

 

- Heath Miller, be my dad.

 

- I'll admit it:  while the thought of a Pitt v. PSU bowl game excites me, as does a PSU v. Notre Dame BCS matchup, I'm actively rooting for an Alabama/PSU tilt in the Orange Bowl, for the following reasons:

         1) I don't like the Fiesta Bowl

         2) State v. 'Bama should not be played on turf (ie: the Sugar Bowl)

         3) watching those two Defenses tear each other apart would make for some GREAT New Years'   Day action.

 

-I hate to be all about sports today, but did anyone else think that Ray-Ray/Chicken Little bumper at the beginning of MNF last night was the worst two minutes in television history.  It's bad enough I had to deal with Stu Scott for an hour leading up to the game (Boo yeah! It's off the chain! I have one eye!) but then they pick Ray-Ray ( who wasn't even playing in the game) to do the intro? Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot? And of course the Disney movie Chicken Little and Monday Night Football share the same demographics. I hate being reminded that The Mouse owns everything.

 

-after watching Batman Begins three times since buying it, I can soundly say that it's still awesome. I'll let you know about Episode III

 

- I expected to see Ray-Ray standing over Chicken Little's lifeless carcass at halftime, after he got served by the diminutive avian Jimmy Neutron knockoff.

 

- The Virginia Tech and Florida uniforms from this past weekend are an affront to everything we Americans stand for. Frak Nike. Frak them in their stupid asses.

 

- Every time I go back to D-Son, it seems like the place gets prettier. I can't wait to have kids and show them what a real college looks like.

 

- 1 for 2, RBI in the Alumni Game. Most important stat: no injuries (though my hands hurt). 

 

-  President D. actually asked me how I liked "finishing up" at Pitt.  When I was blatantly taken aback by the fact that he knew me, he even joked, "See, you didn't think I'd remember, did you?" He's the best thing to happen to the alma mater, it's true. It's true.

 

-  Funniest moment of an otherwise uneventful Alumni Weekend: Uram in a t-shirt with the mulleted face of John Stamos that simply reads, "Have Mercy."

 

-I ate one cafe meal (the alumni picnic cookout) and it destroyed my intestines for three whole days. Nice to see some things never change.

 

- Market Cross still rules.  Quick story-- on Saturday night we had dinner there, my favourite restaurant, and one of the waitresses, who was in her late 30s, probably, was wearing a Rainbow Bright costume.  I have never felt like a dirtier old man in my entire life.  Ladies, take note:  Rainbow Bright costumes are hot.

 

- But not as hot as those slutty girls in the trampy D-son Public Safety uniforms. Good grief.

 

-It's a very weird feeling to find out that kids that lived in your dorm your senior year, that were freshmen then, are now back for their first alumni weekend.

 

-I'm finally getting the Stratus fixed tonight-- Rental Car update tomorrow. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't secretly pining for another Kia "Tony" Amanti.

 

just to see if anyone's listening-- i need good ideas for first dates.

 

be good to each other
