I don’t usually post any cat pictures, but in this case, I thought it was kind of funny how Pixie eliminated reading as one of Jen’s options last night. I can’t understand how it would be comfortable to hug a book while sleeping, but the cat was totally down with enveloping the follow-up book by Khaled Hosseini who wrote The Kite Runner.

Anyway, Cuteness over.

This is the Way All Hotel TV’s Should Be

42 inch LG Plasma, baby. Plugged the laptop right into it and we were rolling with the Divx files in near-HD quality. Rock rock rock rock rock.

I am completely going to have to buy one of these when we get back. Either that, of I need to sneak it into my luggage. I should have invested in a much larger suitcase.

Who would have thought that we would have more snow for Easter than we did for Christmas?

This is what I get for getting the patio furniture out of the basement this week.

Arena League Fans Need to Work on Signage

Arena League football is as popular as ever, but I have a sneaking suspicion that these are really just leftover fans who couldn’t get NFL tickets. If this is the minor league of football, then these are certainly minor league fans. Check out this guy’s sign in which he attempts to pull ESPN out of this completely awkward saying.

Think harder next time sir. This looks almost as horrendously awkward as your two-finger lobster clutch on that boring-ass sign.

Browns Might Not Be Counting On Having Winslow for 2007

March 19, 2007 · Filed Under Uncategorized · Comment 

In response to a tip that we recently received regarding the condition of Browns tight end Kellen Winslow following microfracture surgery on the knee that he initially injured when he made like Evel Knievel in May 2005, we’ve checked with a couple of our sources and we’ve determined that the powers that be in Cleveland are not counting on Winslow to be available for the 2007…

But there are also whispers that, in the wake of the procedure for creating scar tissue that will simulate knee cartilage, Winslow might never be able to play again.

If it comes to pass that Kellen Winslow has to call it a career due to his micro-fracture surgery to repair his knee, that would make three players within a calendar year who have their careers called into question on the Browns roster. To recap for those who don’t know, Gary Baxter is trying to come back from ligament tears in both knees. LeCharles Bentley will most likely miss another season with his bad patellar tendon. And now Winslow with micro-fracture surgery.

I hope Steve Heiden is feeling good right about now. I am especially happy to have him on the Browns roster.

And just when I was starting to feel good about the off-season acquisitions. . .

CC Sabathia and Victor Martinez

This might be one of the best sights that these eyes have seen in a long time. People wonder why baseball is my favorite sport. I can’t really explain it, but I can tell you that the feelings I get when pitchers and catchers report are much different than anything I get when Browns training camp starts, or Cavs pre-season.

When you walk around a used book store in the middle of nowhere long enough, you never know what kinds of books you’ll find. My favorite in this group? 101 Things to Make With Human Skin.

“Wait. Was she a great big fast person?”

(By the way, these were joke book covers. The books inside were other books.)

After Walking in the Snow, Jenny is Sleepy

Marching through the snow of varying depths is apparently very tiring.

Small Jen vs Big Chautauqua Bell Tower

Jen looks small in any setting, but in this particular she is dwarfed by the Miller Bell Tower in Chautauqua and the giant snow piles that surround it.

When the motherf***ing plow doesn’t show up, what do you do? Take the day off of work and shovel even if you paid a $225 contract that should have covered the whole winter. The plow came yesterday at 6 PM and we haven’t seen the dude since. This picture was taken approximately 23 hours (and 2 feet of snow) later.
