Is it warm yet?

No, not yet, but it’s getting closer. I am getting to the point I want to be warm when I go outside and I don’t want to have to wear a coat to be warm. I want to go site seeing and hiking, but I don’t want to be cold and wet when I do it. Hmmmm makes one wonder why I moved here…. Pussy….

We have had a long week of sorts, our pal and a friend of hers came down for the weekend to watch the Super bowl which turned out to be a kick ass game, that game was so damn good I watched it 2 more times on the NFL network this past week. Eli did a hell of a job and I called it with less than 8 minutes that Eli would be defined by this game and I think it will be based on how he won it and I turned out to be right for once.

I made chili and homemade soup and steak and pizza (from Indiana) and we of course had lots of booze so it was a good time. She had brought their Wii down with her so we played with that for a few hours and of course felt it in the morning, how sad is it to hurt from playing a video game? I think Wii is still the dumbest name ever for a system, and I think the kind of games are limited with the wands vs a controller, but the bowling and baseball and tennis was pretty fracking cool.

So I confessed to Pauline that I wanted to buy her a Wii for this past holiday but I simply couldn’t find one in stock after mid October without paying much more than it’s worth, so we are going to get her one and set it up in the bedroom I think, more room up there which is needed when bowling.  I also want to get the old systems again; I use to have a Super Nintendo and Sega Gneisses and want to get both again while I still can.

We are planning a trip to Minnesota soon, still not sure exactly when, but we are thinking April/May area. Pauline has not been to MN in 6 years or so.

How Do I Feel?: calm calm

WOW

How Do I Feel?: enthralled enthralled

This is too fucking sad

Heath Ledger was found dead the Australian-born actor was 28.

I just got home and Pauline told me this and she said something so true. Media whores like Paris, Lindsay and anything Spears live forever, the talented and worthy die young.

This just plain sucks, I was a big fan of his and I am dying to see him as the Joker, my all time favorite comic villain. From what I’ve seen on the trailers Jack cannot hold a candle to this Joker… Heath acted exactly as the Joker was meant to be.

RIP… you died far too young.

How Do I Feel?: crushed

Stupid Colts

What is with the Colts when they play the Bolts? They just seem to have our number; the Chargers are 9-3 all time in the RCA dome vs Indy…. WHAT THE FUCK?????

I am actually ok with today’s loss, I said the day the Raiders made the worse trade in NFL (and in all other sports) history when they GAVE Moss to the Pats for a 4th round draft pick, that the Pats would win it all this year so I have had almost a year to prepare for this. I really wanted to see a rematch of Indy vs the Pats, but it was not meant to be.

I will not be sad to see the Pats win, they have so many good players and to see someone like Junior Seau get a ring makes me all warm and fuzzy and there are a few ‘Boilers on that team as well as the Bolts and Cowboys, but I so despise TO so I just cannot root for the ‘Boys and I would LOVE to see the Packers make the Super Bowl which I think will happen if the Giants win today.

Go Giants! (Today only)
Go Packers! (Next Week and why not for the Super Bowl as well)
Go Pats! (Do what is expected)

Fear the Colts next year… WE WILL BE BACK!

How Do I Feel?: hopeful

The future is now…. We now have Hope….

Coach Hope that is.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/ncaa/01/11/bc.fbc.purdue.tiller.ap/index.html

Purdue coach Joe Tiller will retire after next season and be replaced by new associate head coach Danny Hope.

Hope was 35-22 in five winning seasons at Eastern Kentucky. He was an offensive line coach on Tiller’s staffs at Wyoming and then Purdue, before leaving the Boilermakers after the 2001 season. In 2007, Hope led the Colonels to a 9-3 record and the Ohio Valley Conference title and was a Football Championship Subdivision Regional Coach of the Year.

Pauline and I actually meet Coach Hope while he was still an assistant; she has met him many times when she worked near campus. We were flying to Dallas for a porn party and he sat next to us while he was on a recruiting trip. Real laid back and cool guy.

Rumors started last week that Purdue was looking at the offensive coordinator from Wisconsin and he would be the next coach, so all week long I have been thinking… what kind of team will he bring since his teams are not spread offense like Purdue has ran since 1997. Which, I couldn’t decide if that was good or bad. Purdue was the first in the Big Ten to run the spread, but we never got the real players we needed to make it work as it should. Brees was good at it, but still not the “ideal” Spread QB while someone like Tim Tebow of Florida is that kind of player…. but fuck I hate that guy.

So I think this is good. I am not sure if Tiller really wanted to retire, or if he was asked to retire, but it is time, but I just hope I don’t regret losing Tiller which will happen the first time we miss a bowl game under Hope.
