Yea Phillies!

I have a housemate up in this Jersey City ex-rectory named Brendan. He’s in the second year of the Seton Hall program I’m in. He is from Indiana originally and he loves doing things; he has a knack for finding free/cheap activities in New York City.

Last night, we went to the opera! Lincoln Center was enough of a treat to see, but my first opera was fantastic too.

Fox News declares Sarah Palin the debate winner based on the size of her pin.

Meanwhile, there’s no mention of why Obama wore a flag pin in last week’s debate, yet McCain went flag pin-less.

The same radio station mentioned in my previous post is also running an elimination bracket of ridiculousness. First two on the list: zombies vs. ninjas. Second two on the list: Gallagher brothers (Liam and Noel) vs. Gallagher brothers (Ron and Leo—the sledgeomatic ones). Anddddddddddddddddd….go.

So I’m sitting here in my edit room, eating lunch, and I hear this conversation across the hall. A producer is adamantly claiming that mermaids are real, and shs not joking. She also says they live right across the road in the Hudson river.

As if it wasn’t unbelievablystupid enough to think mermaids are real, as an employe of NBC Universal, she should realize that her parent company (GE) has made very sure that nothing lives in the Hudson River.

She’ now going on to say that the Loch Ness monster is also real, but unicorns are ridiculous.

And she is really standing by all this, despite the parade of people coming by to make fun of her.

Is anybody going to this thing?

I thought about running out and doing errands tomorrow, but I have a feeling my neighborhood is going to be completely crazy. Grocery shopping and Target will wait for another day…

perhaps a little EVOO…?

I’m really very bored today…

I heard this question on the radio today and one caller said “Meet Joe Black” the beginning scene where Brad Pitt gets hit by not one, but two cars and gets his body thrown up in the air.
