Player Hater Degree
Just wanted to formally announce that I've signed up to take the GRE next month and I'm going to be applying to English graduate programs for next fall. If I am accepted, I will immediately begin banging undergraduates. That is all.

Ketchup.
So, info of late... most nights have been spent in front of the TV watching kids ("Eight-year-olds, dude.") win gold medals. Days have been alternating between working and sneezing, coughing, aching, snotty misery. Of course, now that I'm over that, S. has it. Alack.
We saw 'Pineapple Express', and I absolutely had to laugh my ass off at it... the paranoia, if nothing else, am I right guys? Ah, college. Hopefully 'Tropic Thunder' is on the agenda today or sometime soon.
One of the ESPN channels I get had an SEC roundup show on yesterday, and I watched until they did Ole Miss (they interviewed Eli to see what he thought the program should be doing and what it will do this year... and he looked stoopid, as usual), and then left it. It was the usual suck-fest; sportswriters on their knees in front of Florida, Georgia, LSU and Auburn. Meanwhile, they lump us in with U. KY-Jelly and Vanderbilt. Not saying we didn't deserve it after going 0-fer in the SEC last year... but damn.
S. and I are going to do a class at Writers & Books, we think. They've some pretty cool stuff, but we're seriously looking at the 'Beginning Fiction Writing'... thoughts on some of the classes you see here?
And that's it, so far. OH! Mets game next weekend, maybe two... the Astros at Shea before it gets torn down. Yankee Stadium can rot for all I care. There was a blurb on TV about how when Shea is torn down, it'll be a parking lot for the new stadium, but they're leaving the outline of home plate and the bases and such marked on the pavement, so that when the Mets are away, they'll use it for wheelchair baseball games. S. remarked, "The Yankees thought about doing the same thing, but they couldn't figure out how to get the kids in wheelchairs to cough up $300 each to play."

RIP . . .
Yo, is this blog dead, or what?
Nothing about the passing of Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes?
Nothing about MLB?
No Olympic fever?!
Come on, brohans, what gives?
