baseball draftees signed
Well, the Tigers signed some of their draft picks late, late last night. They draft these guys back in June but all the deals take until the last minute which is ridiculous. Baseball players aren't like other sports so these guys wouldn't get signed and go to the Majors immediately (albeit rarely it does happen) but if they came in sooner there's a change they'd be available for a September call-up. Wouldn't Stephen Strasbug be nice to see for the struggling Natinals fan? But instead, you'll have to go to Arizona Fall League to see him or wait until next spring. Ridiculous!

myron rolle
My man from Florida State, Myron Rolle, is choosing Oxford over the millions from the NFL. Well, at least for a year. I hope he offsets any of that nonsense that FSU isn't a real school and doesn't care about its education (that might be too much pressure for the kid). Also, I was just reading this SI article about him just yesterday.
And speaking of reading, I had a post about him committing to FSU back in February 2006. And I forgot to boo C.J. Spiller.

back to normal
I slept in, had a bagel, then moved to the couch. Then I started back on getting caught up on the dvr (I can't believe how many episodes of Molto Mario, Fringe and other assorted, unnamed shit I've got to sift through). That was several hours ago and almost forgot Florida State was playing their bowl game today (against Wisconsin in the Champs Sports Bowl). Bubba mentioned coming over and Aces might not be too far behind. Plus I need to get some shite unpacked and do something with my office. I guess I'll have to get off my ass.
Oh, here are some pics of the office I took before I left for Florida. I've got a new desk and two new book cases.

dinner recovery and cards
How is it possible that I'm tired even with two hour long naps today? I think it is called Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, it is Christmas. Well, the effect is the same. I finished dinner around 5 and then slept until around 6:15. And then I had a slice of cheesecake after I woke up. Goodness gracious.
I think I might've been wiped out by the card playing. I started researching the game we play all the time and can't find it. I know it is a variation of rummy and my folks have called it Liverpool Rummy but the definition seems off. The rounds are similar though we only play six rounds (as opposed to seven) and ten cards are only dealt. I'll have to keep doing some research.
But not tonight, I'm off to bed.

tradition
A Christmas Story is on TBS! I can't remember not watching this on Christmas. Though it is more accurately Christmas Eve. Perfect timing, too, as I'm still recovering from stuffing myself with the dinner of ribs, baked potatoes, and veggies. Not the normal holiday dinner but damn good.
Speaking of traditions, I need to get my second wind before we start playing cards.

the not so great escape
Heading up to Orlando to catch tonight's and tomorrow's NFL games at Renegade's place. Big games for me and him in fantasy, though much bigger for him (I'm playing for third place, he for first place). I believe it will be my only substantive escape from retirement community hell. From my parent's place it is a couple hours, but I'm going to make a stop by Ron Jon's Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach. I haven't been to that place in 14 years, back when I was actually young. I've got to pick up some nick nack patty wacks.

Great line about the screw-job that is the NFL Network:
"So, you fortunate souls who'll be tuning in from your living rooms on Thursday, be sure to shed a tear for your deprived brothers and sisters in Austin and Madison. And take consolation in the fact that the residents of those fine cities who really want to watch this game will have some really good bars from which to choose."
Taken from an article by Michael Silver on Yahoo.
I'll need to find one of those really good bars Thursday, that's for sure.

I don't know if I've chronicled my issues with my license plates, but it's been a big pain in the ass. I decided to set myself officially as Texas resident (and this is three years past due). It helped that my license and tags both expired on 8/10. First step was last Thursday to get my driver's license. So here is the breakdown:
Needless to say, I'm not getting my new license for a while. But then the fun part came:
And the beat goes on.
- Wait in line at the license bureau; I'm told I need to register my car first
Go to register my car (another line); I'm told that I need to have my car inspected first
I get my car inspected and wait about 45 minutes, but do get a Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich at the nearby gas station
I head back to the register my car (another line, of course). I get my plates, but get to enjoy several uncomfortable moments where the clerk was telling me how lucky I was to be white because black people get pulled over for having expired registration.
It's almost 4:45 when I leave and barely get back to the DMV to get my license; they say they've got time, but I don't have my social security card. And I don't know where that is, so I'll have to head downtown to get a new SS card.
Needless to say, I'm not getting my new license for a while. But then the fun part came:
- I didn't have nuts or bolts for my front license plate, so I went to Lowe's to get some. The guy matched me up, but I got out to my car and they didn't work (and it was past closing time, so I was stuck for the night).
I went to Autozone and matched up the screw exactly. There were length choices and the guy at the counter "guaranteed" the short ones would work.
Headed to Chilly's place and the short ones didn't work so I stop and pick up the ones that did fit.
I get back to my place, put in the front plate and I'm set. I go to the back and the right screw is stripped and I can't get it out and I end up tearing off my FSU license plate.
And the beat goes on.

I was really pretty ambivalent towards this World Cup final, but then I saw that French dude headbutt the guy on the other team and gained a modicum of interest. Just a modicum.
And I celebrated the Italian victory by eating some meatballs and vacuuming my pool. I'm hoping that the most exciting thing I do for a while.

I was too drunk and stupid yesterday to realize Steve Yzerman officially retired and Ben Wallace left the Pistons. I'm glad I'm half drunk still. God bless America!

I didn't realize that the Tigers are on. And they should be through Wednesday, which is good for me because there isn't jack nor shite on tv.

Well, Edmonton blew it and now the Carolina Hurricanes skate with the Stanley Cup. I really didn't care that much either way, but I had hope for Edmonton to win because my brother (yet another of them) had made a bet that Edmonton would win. I think he got something like 25 to 1 so he wouldn't go some decent cash. Oh well. It was a good series, what I saw of it. I should be happy that hockey's back, but I still would've liked to have seen the Red Wings in the Finals. Not to sound like a broken bell, but Oh Well.
