Wow

So, a few minutes ago I go to check on the dog outside. Sage had been outside for about an hour. I go outside..think that I see her resting in the dark patch at the corner where the walk meets the way. Walk the other way, start to take a piss. Then I hear a jingle jingle. I go to check if she was really there or not. And there she comes running up to me. She had broken her chain thing however long ago and had since then ran free in the neighborhood. I don’t know where she went or what she did or even exactly how long she was off the chain. Right now she is being super super annoying and wanting to go outside. I think its time for 1 more pee break and then straight to bed.

The Grey Cup

Congrats to the Edmonton Eskimos, winners of the 93rd Grey Cup. The Eskimos won 38-35 in Overtime against the Montreal Alouettes. It was the first time in 44 years that a Grey Cup had gone into overtime. The most valuable player award was given to Edmonton quarterback Ricky Ray, who overcame significant criticism during previous playoff rounds to throw 35 of 45 passes complete for 359 yards and two touchdowns. Canadien Football is funny.

Falcons Crush Lions

Hell Yeah. 27-7. After two straight loses at home, this is exactly what they needed.

Turkey Day

Everyone is here. It’s turkey day. The turkey is in the oven. The Falcons are about to take the field. And the women went to the movies. So rock out.

Mets spending money again.

I love to see the Mets spend tons of money on overpaid ball players

Beltran
Delgado
Wagner?
Manny?

that way, when they still suck they’ll just owe everyone else money.

Turkey Day in Mt Pleasant

My parents and sister are en route to the metropolis that isn’t Mt Pleasant right about now. May they have a safe journey.

Harry Potter 4

Anyone see it?? My lady is a big time harry potter freak so I always go watch them at the theatre with her, we went last friday night to the 1050 show, sat top floor bottom buzzer.. it was an alright movie.. I’ve never read the books. I dig the Quiddich stuff, and I sorta know who all the characters are.. When we walked in, I saw the four posters of each of the movies and told her that was my recap. This one was pretty dark. I like that. Darker than the last one, but I don’t really know. I can’t remember which one was which really. Yeah it was a double date with a bunch of dudes. But one of the dudes knew the books in and out and was really critical about the whole story and the meaning and placement of words and names and stuff, and Sara knows a lot about that and all and can hang. But I was just lost. I didn’t care for all the Boy/Girl la la la stuff and several scenes that I thought were just a complete waste of time and didnt progress the story, but it probably did. Sara said that teenager stuff is in there to make these crazy kids seem somewhat normal. But dude, I just remembered.. That Dragon scene was pretty Ill. And Harry is the MAN!

Nothing New

Nothing really new to post here.

Forgot to mention..

You’re looking at the Dream Team Server of November. One step below employee of the month but I’ll take it. And no I don’t get a raise on my 2.65 an hour. Ever.

Brian
There is only one Brian smith in the studio. So if you don’t owe Bill and you paid him let me know and I will tell him that he over looked it instead of sending me a smart answer like that.

Brian Smith to William 11:20 am
No, I am not that Brian Smith in that I am not in the studio. In other words, I have no idea what you are talking about. I get emails for other Brian Smith’s all the time. Surely, this is a possibility don’t you think. Good luck getting your money. Tell Bill to relax.
