ahh...The Texas Baseball Rangers beat the NY Yankees about 15 miles from my chateau-
And my Iowa Hawkeyes beat the Michigan Wolverines at Michigan--SWEET!
Ventured to see the movie "Red" starring Bruce Willis, with Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich with the cutie who played Dr. McCoy in the Pre-Star Trek (can't remember his name---YET!)--I enjoyed the movie and feel in love with Bruce Willis all over again...
Got some school work I need to hurry and do, yet in the meantime as Sir Elton John says how
Saturday Night is just all right.....I like it like this!
Such a grand day here in Dallas! Not too hot, not too cool, unlike the Labor Day 2001 when the actual temp was 111 F. Who cares? So say long ago.
Let me share this right quick. I dined on Vietnamese food last night. Yep. A Classmate asked me if I was I game. He loves the stuff. The last time I had this cuisine was in the '90's. Didn't so really care for whatever I had and recall I drank alot of beer after. This go round Classmate suggested things and had a good laugh at my apprehensiveness. All in all, I surprised myself I enjoyed it. Classmate has mentioned cuisines from Ethiopia. Told him I gotta take a country at a time...
Look at the day! The Iowa Football Hawkeyes won their first game of the season. I gotta do so school writing and some FUN writing sometime today. Like I said sometime today--in the meantime this day beckons for me to return to our playtime together.
Oh, yes, MacKenzine Phillips. She was on Oprah again today. I missed her the first time, so I may need to tune in, since Oprah is repeated tonight. With the drugs and now this--explains alot of Mackenzie's behavior. Stay tuned.
On a lighter note, of COURSE, watched "Dancing With The Stars!" And I'm glad Michael Irvin is safe to dance another night. Unless his new pro dancer/teacher steps up the game, Michael will be gone before he shows us anything. I'm sure Michael's new dancer/teacher is nervous-first time on the show and all. However, there was a new male pro dancer/teacher who received nothing but kudos from the judges. Poor Michael, he deserves more than the "4" two of the judges gave him. Monday is coming-and I got faith in you Michael!
On the eating-less-calories-and-working- out-more front is kinda stuck in neutral. I've been good on the eating less calories, not so good on the working out part. Still good on the drinking water part tho. Need to get the body moving more. I keep saying I want to do aerobics, while what I really want to do is a dance class. Ballroom, sure--but more jazz, ballet or even tap. They have a tap class at the rec center, alas it's during the day. I'd love to take a jazz class, like I did in the early 90's and received "A"s for my solo. My teacher, who ran a dance company, said I had 'presence'--yet now I'd need a class that was a bit gentler to my older bones. Leaping across the floor with a bunch of 20 somethings ain't my bowl of Blue Bell Cookies n Cream ice cream anymore.
There's lots more, like the Iowa Hawkeyes battle Penn State tomorrow night. Trust me, I will be glued to the TV, plus the Dallas Cowboys play on Monday Night Football--and they GOTTA win, especially in that Billion Dollar Bungalow Jerry built. Ya know, I still feel Jerry's Bungalow shoulda been built in Dallas. I don't care what the Dallas city leaders say--that was something, that shoulda stayed in Dallas.
OK. I've rambled enough. Got some Friday to enjoy with a song that still makes my toe tap. Little known kinda disco ditty by Chic. Had it on vinyl and I dedicate it Michael Irvin, 'You're more than those 4's the judges gave you. In my book you're a 26 (that's the song's title)!
When did the College Football Bowl season begin to stretch into Easter? OK--I could be exaggerating (that's the writer in me and my imagination just seems to run away with me). Didn't once upon a time the bowl games tied up on New Year's Day with the best one being the last one of the day? Games overlapped each other. All before ESPN, and every sports network in between. New Year's Day was THE football day. And now? I could buy the recent change of the champeenship game the day after. But come ON, how much of a champeenship game is it anyway? I know our President elect, Barack Obama has other stuff on his plate, (this pesky economy for one, but ya know, he favors a play-off system too.
Hmm. Well, the good news is, I'm off today and plan to enjoy myself. First, I need to get a cup 'o coffee to get me runnin' and then get on with my day. Wait--is there some game on tonight? NFL? College? Or is that tomorrow? I am so confused.
Just hit me upside the head with a football. Heaven knows there's enough of em.
