redrum

there is a real possibility i'm going to be staying in the hotel where they shot the shining this weekend. it's called the stanley hotel and it's up in estes park. if i see those crazy twin girls or that suggestive bartender, i'm punching them in the kneecap.

let's play ball

friday is opening day. the best day of the year. after my birthday. and elvis's birthday. i think last year with the giants beating the rangers in the world series, anything is possible. everyone's got the phillies. but i just don't see it. they have no offense behind great pitching. some things are obvious. i think the red sox were the most improved team in the offseason and i think they're going to the world series. on the national league side, i have to go with the colorado rockies. that's right. my new home town will be in the world series this year. for divisions, check it out: nl central: brewers nl east: braves nl west: rockies nl wild card: phillies al central: twins al east: red sox al west: rangers al wild card: yankees and all that will end with the rockies losing the red sox in the world series, just like 2007. except this time not a sweep. and this time i will care.

we were wealth

two albums on my mind these days:

kurt vile- smoke ring for my halo

wye oak- civilian
