let's check out how my thursday night went, shall we?

yankees? 



check.
the much anticipated debut of uber-prospect jesus montero didn't turn out to be all that exciting as far as personal accolades, but couldn't have gone any better from a team perspective. 
winning a game and a series?  that's great.
gaining a game in the standings into a virutal tie for first place in the division?  that's fantastic.
going to boston and beating the bloody socks?  that's priceless. 

now how about the steelers? 


check.
in the final preseason game of the year, the steelers beat the carolina panthers 33-17, but more importantly, they didn't sustain any significant injuries, and gained a game-full of film to watch to make some tough decisions over the next couple of days about who will be on the roster, and who will be looking for a job selling insurance.  here's hoping that they make the right decsions. 

of course, i couldn't watch either of these games, listening to the yankees on my computer and listening to the steelers on the radio, while following the fans' reaction to both on twitter.  being a sports fan sometimes requires me to be a really good multi-tasker! 

i hope your weekend is as good as my thursday night was!  peace.

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day.

happiness is dry underwear

we started potty training jack on thursday. we followed a program called POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY, which, by the way, i think is kind of crazy. i mean, if someone were to offer you a book called, "ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE IN ONE DAY" i don't think you would take it seriously. and yet here we are, trying to accomplish an equally daunting task in one 24-hour period. it is intense. the day is shrouded in a lie because as soon as your happily diapered child wakes up you tell him that it is a big party. we had balloons and streamers and noisemakers and silly string - all the trappings of a legitimate party. but it is most certainly not a party. it is a hellishly exhausting day. as soon as jack got out of bed, we gave him a present: an anatomically correct doll that wets himself. jack named him quincy. several times quincy successfully peed in the potty and even had an accident or two in his "big boy underwear." he also dropped a deuce that looked and smelled sus...

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...
