a day of rest, ha!

And on the seventh day he rested. Well, not here. I'm about to throw on some old clothes and continue painting the living room. I'm going to attempt to watch as much footbball as possible. Though I could always tune into my new favorite sport, Ice Dancing. Some excellent games on the schedule today; Eagles vs. Redskins, Steelers vs. Packers, Jets vs. Chargers, Bucs vs. Panthers, and Raiders vs. Chiefs. It's looking to be a great Monday night game. The game that a lot of folks have been looking forward to. Colts vs. Pats. Can Peyton finally get past Brady and the Pats. I think so, but we'll see what happens.

On the fantasy side of things, I’m looking for a huge day from Tiki, as the Giants play San Francisco, Delhomme who unfortunately is playing against a tough Tampa D, Ronny Brown, and hopefully a repeat performance from Jerry Porter's two TD's last week. Of course hoping my Giant’s D can play as well as they did last week against Washington.

That whole Theo Epstein thing in Boston was just nuts. They let the guy who put together the team that brought them the first World Series since 1918 get away. On top of that nutiness, did anyone hear about this:

After reminiscing about Theo Epstein's brief and celebrated 35-month tenure as the 11th general manager in the Red Sox' 105-year existence, members of his baseball operations department came to a pressing question: How could they get Epstein out of Fenway Park without facing camera crews? Conveniently, Monday night happened to be Halloween night, and someone in the office happened to have a gorilla costume handy. Epstein, according to a baseball operations employee, slipped into the suit, walked out of Gate D, and strolled by the cameras, a smile on his concealed face.

Man, this is amazing. Just too good.

This past weekend has been nuts, with a ton of shows attended by yours truly. Thursday was of course, a great show from Elbow. Also, got to see the amazing Shout Out Louds at Bowery Ballroom on Friday. What a great band, some of the most delectable Swedish power pop. Check out this great remix that Ratatat did. [Comeback Remix] Also, saw an amazing Super Furry Animals performance last night, then quickly made my way over to catch Calla and Celebration at Bowery. What an awesome few nights of music.

And lets us not forget the Tree House of Horror, XVI, tonight on the Simpsons. Yes, another Halloween special. These are always so great. Consistently one of the best tv shows around and funny as can be. The writing the last few seasons has returned to form. And of course, this is airing a week after Halloween due to the geniuses at Fox delaying it until after the World Series, that ended over a week ago!
