Yesterday was a relaxing day. I spent most of the day doing laundry, dishes, vacuuming, and watching college football in between. It was a BIG day in college football. How big? Six of the top 13 ranked teams in the polls lost. Five of them to unranked teams. They were all really good games to watch too. College football is exciting to me...because the guys wanna play and not for the money (at least immediately) and the fans are a fantastic mix of crazy college kids and tailgating alumni. Congrats to Utah for getting another win. This time against Utah State. Notre Dame is 0-5 and based on what I saw yesterday (their best game of the year and still lost by two touchdowns), they very well may not win a game this year. John 11:35 - Football Jesus wept.
After that, my aunt & uncle called me up and invited me to have a few drinks with them at the Barbary Coast Saloon. You may remember this bar from a few months ago when my Uncle Doug had his 35th birthday party. It's a nice little biker bar with live entertainment on the weekends. I decided to invite JL Clyde to the festivities and she was glad to attend. Band on the Run played rock classics as we discussed sports, music, commercials we like (Nike, Carl's Jr. Flat Buns, etc.), our cruise to Mexico last year, when my aunt used to babysit me, their kids (who think I'm the coolest cousin ever for some reason), all the usual stuff. A good time was had by all. I was the designated driver so everybody else got to be as frivolous as they wanted. I'd hang out with these guys anytime. Thanks for inviting me...if you read my blog. Also, I finally dusted off my leather trenchcoat for the winter season. There's some snow in the mountains and it was pretty chilly last night. I think the low was around freezing. So much for fall...
NFL Today - Brett Favre is going for the all-time NFL passing touchdown record (still another hundred or so for Warren Moon's CFL/NFL combined record). Eagles are looking for another win against the Giants (exaggerated) in the night game. Daunte Culpepper gets to start for the Raiders...against the team that cut him a month ago, the Miami Dolphins in a game that only one team can lose. My money's on the Raiders...and by money, I mean sense of ironic justice. Anyway, that's enough about sports.
Today, I'm going to be hanging at my dad's because I haven't seen him in a few weeks and he's a good guy. Also, my brother said that he was bringing the family there too...so two birds with one stone. I still don't believe that anybody has ever pelted two birds with two stones before. Maybe some tribal warrior in the savannah of Sudan...but this cliche has to go. Just say something like "taking care of two objectives in the same instance" or throw a clever twist on it...but I'm not nearly that clever to attempt. I'm sure that you'll come up with something. So yeah, party at my dad's. We'll probably have Colosimo's brats. They're smurfin' delicious.
So...what else am I going to put on here today? How about another one of these quiz things that was sent to me through MySpace? Yeah, you guys can get to know me a little bit more. That...and I'm lazy...and I want some breakfast.

You consider laundry, dishes, and vacuuming RELAXING? Oh my.
Compared to other stuff, yeah, I find cleaning up my house a bit and lounging about relaxing. It's a lot better than say...working, fixing my car, all that stuff. It also gives me time to cook, which is actually relaxing to me too. I'm a bit of a weirdo...but you probably picked up on that.
