Sunday
So far, this has been a fairly lax day. And that’s just fine with me.

::: Football Update :::
Once again, all three teams are playing at the same time.

  • They’re playing the Houston Texans. After a lackluster first quarter and a decent second, the Boys from Baltimore are doing all right. Both the offense and the defense are looking rather decent.

    Hmm… Houston just scored on a punt return. It was an impressive run. 76 yards. Okay, this isn’t a crippling setback. Yet.

  • They are playing the Raiders. So far, they are up 20 – 9.

  • Getting owned by the Steelers. Most of the 3rd quarter is gone and they are down 20 – 7.

Stray Toasters

  • Looking out this morning, There were clouds around the peaks on the Wasatch Mountains; that’s where the local ski and snowboarding resorts are located. I had the very random thought of: There are places where people really could be accused of having their heads in the clouds…
  • Ian McKellan was the guest on Inside the Actor’s Studio today. I missed most of the show, but I did get to see about… :20 of it. I was reminded of why I think that he’s not only a great actor, but also an interesting man. I’m not sure if they will rebroadcast this episode soon; if they do, check it out.
  • Land forwarded me an email with links to this and this. Harry Potter fanfics. “Curiouser and curiouser,” said little Alice… I haven’t had a chance to check them out yet. But, in the interest of “turnabout is fair play” and because of his little diatribe in August (in the cut tag), I sent him this link that someone on IRC.

::: Postgame Update :::

    Won. Won. Lost.

The Minnesota Vikings’ QB Daunte Culpepper just organized one HELL of an end-of-the-game, game-winning drive against the New Orleans Saints. VERY impressive.

And now, time to get a little bit of cleaning done and then go to one of the local bookstores for some drawin’ time.

Namaste.
