So long, Geocities....

It's official. Geocities is no more.

It's kind of sad, in a way. This blog began as a website, hosted on Geocities for over 11 years. ANd while it's true that for a great many of those years, I didn't do a whole lot with it, the fact that it was still there meant something. And now, it's gone.

And to quote a random Twitter post:

World Series 2009...

So... it's the Yankees versus the Phillies in the 2009 World Series.

[sarcasm] Hooray! [/sarcasm]

Really, asking me, as a Met fan, to pick between the Yankees and the Phillies is like asking me whether I want to be stabbed or shot.

Are you sure there isn't any way they could both lose?

Wow... talk about serendipity.

I had today off from work. On Tuesday, they asked me if I could come in and work today. I told them I was unable, due to... family commitments. As it turns out, if I had been able to go to work, I would have been on this bus.

Please let this happen in real life...

So, I finally played a Franchise mode game against the Minnesota Vikings and their "new" quarterback Brett Favre. As a Packers fan, there are no other games this season that I want to win more than the two against #4. So yesterday, I play the game and late in the fourth quarter I'm leading 21-17. With less than two minutes left, Brett Favre and the Vikings drive down the field to try to tie the game. Let's just say that the Vikings' chances of winning the game ended in typical Brett Favre fashion...

... by throwing a drive ending, game ending interception.

Somehow, it's the only way this game could have ended.

Guitar pioneer Les Paul dies at age 94

Les Paul, whose innovations with the electric guitar and studio technology made him one of the most important figures in recorded music, has died, according to a statement from his publicists.

I can't believe I let this fall through the cracks...

Bethany: McHenry is pretty far from Jersey, might I ask what brings you guys to Illinois?
Jay: Some fuck named John Hughes.
Bethany: "16 Candles" John Hughes?
Jay: You know him too? That fucking guy. Made this flick "16 Candles" right? Not bad it's got tits in it, but no bush. Of course Ebert over here don't give a shit about that stuff cause he's all in love with this John Hughes guy and rents every one of his movies. Fucking "Breakfast Club"... all these stupid kids actually show up to detention, fucking "Weird Science" where this one chick wants to take off her gear and get down, but aw, no she don't cause it's a PG movie, and then there's "Pretty In Pink" which I can't watch with this tubby muthafucker any more, because everytime we get to the part where the redhead hooks up with her dream guy, he starts sobbin' like a little eight-year-old with a skinned knee and shit. And nothing is worse then watching a fat man weep.

RIP, John Hughes.
