Cubs dropped game two last night. D’OH! I can’t say I’d be overly disappointed if they got eliminated. They went from worst-to-first, and there’s certainly something to be said for that. Either way, things will ultimately be decided in Wrigley in a big way. Here’s hoping.

It’s finally Friday! w00t! I’m going to a dog thing on Monte Santo tomorrow with Ruthie. And then there’s a 360 LAN at Aaron’s. It’s my first 360 LAN 😀 I’m going to have to pick up a VGA cable tonight or tomorrow for it. Anyhoo, it’s going to be a purty busy Saturday.

Ahhh, well…time to go kick Friday in the ass.

This weekend, I have been witness to what has been a very exciting week in baseball for the Cubbies. At this moment, the Cubs are snockering the Pirates 8-0 and the Braves are whacking the Brewers 7-4. At the end of the day, the Cubs may be 3.5 games into 1st place with 6 games to go.

It’s rather perverse, they’re doing the chop in Wrigley.

So, I may as well say it now and jinx it so that I’ll be disappointed before the playoffs instead of 6 outs before the World Series…I think this is the year 🙂

Very nice weekend, besides all of this Cub goodness. Friday night, I played poker with a number of friends. I lost my shirt, but thankfully we were only playing for chips with nothing behind it.

Saturday was smashing, too, with a party that eve for Matt Pierce’s 30th birthday. Poor bastard, hitting 3 decades. The hippies can’t trust him anymore. Fortunately, I still have 1.25 years until I have to face that 😀

Fall hit early this morning 😀 I’m all about that; it will always be my most favorite season ever.

Seemed like a particularly short one this time around.

Saturday was full of volleyball goodness. It was quite fun. I was sore yesterday afternoon from it. I haven’t had the opportunity to play so much, but it really is one of my favorite sports to play 😀 Baseball being the first, of course.

Saturday night, Ruthie and I saw Shaun of the Dead and Flushed Away. Both are quite awesome; it was Ruthie’s first time seeing Shaun of the Dead and neither of us had seen Flushed Away. I really liked Flushed Away very much.

I loaded Linux on my Palm TX. It’s pretty interesting, although it does seem to reset at least a couple of settings that I’ve seen so far, namely date & time. WiFi and Bluetooth don’t work at this point, but it is kinda cool to play around with. It’s basically a dual boot-type setup. I can start Linux from Palm OS and then reset the device to get back into Palm OS.
