It's probably a bad sign that it's Monday and all I can think about is Friday.

I have almost nothing new to add to the information superhighway today. I work too hard and I'm tired, but, then, you know that already.

What you might not know, though, is that this Friday is the first weekend night I've had off all school year, with the asterisked house concert night the only exception. Therefore, I'm going to party, party, party.

I am hoping we'll decide to hit The New Haven Lounge, out by my house. Every time I go there, I feel like I'm in the Harlem Renaissance, except for the neon lights, and it's been a while. But it's not like I ever really go out much, so I'd be happy just about anywhere. Another night at Brewer's Art would suit me just fine. Or Holy Frijoles. Or Rocky Run. Or Thirsty Dog. Or Red Star. I'm not picky. It's someone 40th birthday party on Sunday, so we're letting her choose the place. I'm trying not to make it all about me and my first day off all school year.

In other edge of your seat news, I just ordered a t-shirt that reads "I guess it wasn't a curse" on the front and "They just sucked for 85 years" on the back. Maybe I'll wear it on Friday. I wonder if it's too early to start pouring salt in the wounds of Red sock fans.

Very funny t-shirt purchase. Nah, its not too early to pour salt on the wounds, though here's hoping the Yankees do not make it to the ALCS either. You hate them almost as much as you hate the Red Sox, right?

I've got weird sentiments this year. I hate the White Sox much more than the Red Sox or the Yankees this year, and don't have feelings either way about the Angels - only that I sort of hate them for their namechange. And... I'd like to see ARod get a World Series.

I'm rooting for the Cardinals overall, though. The Yankees are probably my second choice, though. I just like a few Yankees, when I feel nothing at all for the Angels except for contempt over the namechange. I sort of like Vladdy, but he's no ARod or Rivera or Matsui, three players I like a lot.
