for many americans, the drug of choice these days is caffeine. or nicotine. or some prescription that helps them make sense of everything and function on a day-to-day basis. i've got a drug, too. a couple of them, actually. and they both came through for me this weekend, which would explain why i am sailing through this monday with nary a worry.
ahh yes, one of my drugs is the new york yankees. they are making me sweat this year, and it looks like this will be the first time in a long time that they won't win the division. but it doesn't even matter to me right now because last night was an incredibly gratifying night for a yankee fan: jeter beat the schilling and the sox by rocking a 3-run homer over the stupid green monster. jeter is so clutch. and then mariano teased the sox in the bottom of the ninth, allowing the bases to get loaded with big papi at the plate, and got him to pop out. that was sweet. and i got the munchies.
but the first high of the day came when the steelers (in their super-sweet retro uniforms) destroyed the buffalo bills. now, i mentioned last week that i couldn't tell if the steelers were good or the browns were just really really bad. i almost have to say the same thing this week, but with a caveat: i can't keep saying this. at some point we have to just come out and say waht is obvious on the field: the steelers are pretty good and are making average teams look terrible. how they will fare against the good teams? we'll have to wait to find out. but, for now, let us revel in this victory.
2-0, and 2 1/2 games up in the wildcard,

good luck with that.
you get the monday high, I get the monday low!
did you see the Simpson's movie? And where did you get the new profile pict? I like it!!!
i had no idea you were a phillies fan. you must really be enjoying the way they are beating the pants off the mets everytime they play. i say go phillies. i'm a bit of a met-hater, being a yankee fan and all.

i have not seen the simpson's movie. i don't see movies anymore because these two small humans in my house won't have it.
i got the new pic by going to some site called simpsonize me or something like that. it was a promo for the movie i think, put on by burger king. just google it and you'll find it. it is pretty cool.
