Men in Blazers reported that bc of FIFA rules that the same continent can't hold successive tournaments, they added South America at the eleventh hour to block Europe, Africa, and South America from '34. Then, shortly after the 2030 hosts were announced, the House of Al Saud dropped it's '34 bid, and then shortly after FIFA Pres announced any competing bids had to be submitted within three weeks or some ridiculous timeline. Get your robes ready for your winter world cup '34
Been slow playing S4 partly bc I forgot my hulu password, and partly because I didn’t want the ride to end. Finished it last night. Standing ovation, hats off, bravo to the creators of one of the best television shows of the 21st century, and a genius work in the pantheon of Black art. You have an amazing spirit. Thank you for sharing your time with me.
I want to write the story of the 2017 Rockdale Tigers State Championship because it is an amazing story that the Hollywood scriptwriters couldn't have fashioned better if they tried. Other times, I want to write it as though someone wrote a book about it, then the book got sold, and then the Hollywood scriptwriters get involved and totally muck it up
I celebrate David Simon's entire catalogue. We just finished a rewatch of treme after many visits to New Orleans since the first, the most recent being in March for Saint Joseph's to go see the indians. MIGHTY COOTIE FI-YO!
This is the way. I've had colonoscopies every two years since I was 16.
Don't be a puss puss on the drink. Just put it down. Depends on what your doc gives you - sometimes it's the big jug of salty awfulness, sometimes its the wee bottle of sickly sweet.
These days they give you propofol, which is the stuff Michael Jackson was talking to go to sleep at night. You will be lights out and then farting in the recovery room before you know what hit you. Back in the versed days, a man possessed of a certain resolve could steel himself to remain conscious during the procedure, for science. Propofol laughs at man's steely resolve. But seriously, the big fart after the colonoscopy is one of the greatest pleasures in life.
it's my biennial cheesesteak
another not new, but I am consistently impressed with every meal I've had at Mastranto's. Just found out they bought Weights and Measures to make a brunch restaurant. Will be interesting to see what they do there.
Casa Paco for stek
El Corte Ingles to buy Fluchos
Museo de las Americas (off the prime museo circuit but well worth it for the plunder and miscegenation)
Mercado San Miguel
smoke ducados, eat gelatos, no compra madera
guilty afternoon snack pleasure p'pizza cones by the puerta del sol
have recently discovered Sushi Pop in Spring Branch next door the Kroger at Wirt & Westview. Not fancy, clean shop, and good fish. Tues and Wed they do buy one roll, get 1/2 off a second. Mondays, they do free sushi, where they give you a gift card equivalent to what you spend on food. Enjoy that while it lasts.
recently listened to the Wire at 20 podcast in conjunction with my umpteenth rewatch. I would like to hang with Cool Lester Smooth drinking wine and listening to jazz and having deep philosophical conversations about life and universe
We have been dealing with the process of moving my in-laws to a retirement community the last several months with the attendant logistics of 70-100 years worth of stuff. Abe's monologue hit close to home.
