It’s Over Already

It seems like the weekends fly by. It doesn’t help that I connected to work for a few hours today so I could get a little extra time in. I tried to distract myself with football, but watching the Chiefs soon started to piss me off and I turned it off. I think everything that could go wrong, did go wrong for my fantasy team. The game was a battle for the bottom and I have a feeling I lost (or won, depending on how you look at it). I’ll find out tomorrow because I’m too cheap to pay for Yahoo’s stat tracker for live results.

We did get one major thing accomplished this weeked. We went to the JC Penney portrait studio for some engagement photos. We ended up waiting almost an hour beyond the time of our appointment, but they did acknowledge that fact by giving us two free sheets of pictures. I’m hoping to add a page soon with some details on the engagement and wedding, so look for that soon. I think Amber has already created something, but I don’t remember where it’s at.

I just finished watching Family Guy a little bit ago. It was one of the funniest episodes in a long time. The jokes were a nice mix of classic throwbacks to earlier episodes and excellent random bits that make the show so funny. Recently I’ve thought a few of the gags were a bit overused (think drawing out last weeks Osama scene while he rambles for no apparent reason), but tonights was spot on. The ending wasn’t the best, but still an excellent episode. It’s still some of the funniest stuff on TV.

Seth MacFarlane’s other show, American Dad, has been pretty good lately, too. It’s a different kind of humor, but with a similar style. It’s a nice followup for the Griffin family. We need to see more of the fish.

#$%@ CBS

So I’m working on categorizing old posts while I watch the Chiefs game. The Raiders had just come back to take the lead late in the 4th quarter. They’re kicking off to Dante Hall with 1:45 left in the game, and suddenly CBS cuts to the beginning of the damn Packers’ game already in progress! With that little time left in a close game would it really have killed them to let me see if the Chiefs could pull out the win? No, I didn’t think so.

Update: The Chiefs drove down the field and Larry Johnson scored a touchdown from one yard out before time expired.

So Boring

I’ve liked baseball as much as any sport since I was a little kid, but tonight’s end to the World Series makes me sad. Two years in a row it’s been a sweep, and that’s just boring. Tonight’s game was decided by a single run scored in the 8th inning. I don’t really care that the White Sox won or that the Astros lost (although I would have preferred the opposite). What bothers me is that in the end it wasn’t very exciting, despite all of the controversial calls on the way to the series.

That’s another thing that bugs me. Bad calls (questionable at least) seemed to be the bane of the post season this year, and I hate to see that when they directly affect the outcome of such important games. So many people think replay in baseball would be the worst thing ever, but sometimes I think it would be appropriate in some situations. As a baseball fan, I guess I’m just disappointed in how things wrapped up.
