  • Summer Hours

    It’s official.

    I will be working a summer schedule for the next two months. Post will be a bit more random; this week has been a good example of what my blog output will look like. Instead of posting five days a week, it will be more like one or two. My reviews will also not be as frequent, but they will return in earnest this Fall.

    I’m going take some time off, work on other projects, and doing some traveling with my family.

    Happy Summer, everyone. And I’ll see you soon.

  • ODDS and ENDS: Doctor, USA, and Tired

    (I’m only sleeping…)

    I’m at the doctor’s office right now, and I’m not very happy about it. In fact, I’m writing on my phone, which I hate. I’ve had better days.

    I think Team USA will make it out of the Round of 32. I can’t commit to the Round of 16. I hate that I feel a little hope.

    It goes without saying that I am tired today.

  • Rainy Day Thoughts

    Funny how just a little good news, just a spark of hope can put you in a better mood and start viewing the world differently.

    I always thought that one day I would stop getting pimples.

    A rainy day is a good excuse to stay in pajamas.

    I’m glad that the kid likes to read when it rains.

    I don’t like walking the dog in the rain, but the dog hates it more.

    Time goes by faster than I like.

    Is it too early to start wishing for Fall to arrive?

    Swimming pool season is a thing.

    I miss wearing a shirt and tie every weekday.

  • The Knicks Tonight (Unedited)

    First of all; I just want a fair and competitive game tonight, which showcases why these are the two best teams in the NBA.

    I said the other day about how amazing it is that the Knicks have united this City in a way that I haven’t seen in the twenty years that I have lived here. Even my kid, who only follows women’s soccer, is excited by this team, and has somehow taken on even more pride that she’s from New York, is rallying around this team. It’s been great the past couple of weeks seeing just about everybody in orange and blue on the streets. Crime is down, people are getting along, and we all know where we are going to be tonight; around a tv watching the game, and quite a lot of us will be doing it with a group of friends who a few hours ago were total strangers. It is exciting to be here with all of this going around.

    Which is also why I am so annoyed, and disappointed, but not surprised, that Trump will drag his useless orange ass here, and take a big fat stinky dump in the middle of the court and try to ruin it for all of us. And he will ruin it, because even his presence is enough to attempt to kill all the fun that the rest of us are having.

    Yes, he will be booed tonight in a way and manner that he fully deserves from a City that never accepted him, but put up with him. I guess every circus needs a clown, and he will happily fill that role while trying to make it all about himself. Take the hint bro; you’re not welcome.

    I did see Stephen A. Smith’s comments about how if Trump comes it will through the Knicks off, and kill the energy that the fans will give this team. I don’t necessarily agree with that. This team represents New York, and we get to be the beneficiaries of their success. I know they deeply appreciate our support which we willingly give, but at the end of the day, they are playing for each other. They want to win for each other, because that’s what a team is. They are getting each other’s back, and that’s the way it should be.

    When Trump’s face comes up on my tv tonight, I will join in on the booing. Not because I dislike Trump, which I do by the way. No, I’m going to boo Trump to protect this team. He is not allowed to come into my City, and shit up this great moment.
