I caught What About Brian on ABC last night and got to thinking: What about Brian? Brian is a man that is in love with his best friend’s fiancé. He tells him and, surprisingly enough, his friend is a little upset. Brian then tells the fiancé that he is in love with her and she realizes that she has feelings for Brian. I think you can see where this is going.

Remember when the Seinfeld gang loved the Mets?
That was what I was thinking when I was watching the baseball game last night. I remember when Jerry had taped the Mets game and was about to watch it when Kramer came in and told him the final score of said game. I also recall the episode fashioned after the Zapruder film movie when Keith Hernandez spit on Kramer and Newman after Newman called Keith a “pretty boy” after the Mets game. That was in the early years of the show. Later, the gang’s loyalties shifted when George became the Assistant to the Traveling Secretary for the Yankees.

I watched 50 First Dates last night and I think it has inhibited me from writing anything worth a damn. Once again, Drew Barrymore has caused talent to fail in her presence. I think I just figured out why she is popular! She surrounds herself with decent talent, brings them down to a level of greenhorn, and outshines them. That must be the only reason she keeps on getting work.

1. I got a new keyboard for my computer. My last keyboard was attacked by a glass of water that was sitting on my desk. I didn’t spill it on the keyboard because that is not covered by the warranty supplied by Apple. I went to the “genius bar” at the Apple Store this week to get my keyboard fixed. First off, I had no idea that there was a prerequisite to have half-grown facial hair and black hair in order to be considered a genius.

Ever since I spilled on my keyboard, I’ve had to write from work. I was thinking about this last night as I watched the unfamiliar Grey’s Anatomy with my girlfriend and all I kept on asking was, “And who are they sleeping with?” Funny thing is that there was an answer that involved more than one person on every occasion.

Five to eight guys sit around a table and look at each other with deadpan expressions on their faces. Smoke and alcohol are seeping into their clothes. Some of them are wearing hats and sunglasses. Money is exchanged. The atmosphere is tense. It’s the World Series. Of Poker. And it’s everywhere.

Last night I watched some pollution legally and literally go down off the coast of Florida. Florida allowed an old Navy aircraft carrier to sink and create a man-made reef. I do not claim to be a marine biologist, but isn’t it dangerous to put a mammoth, thousand-some-ton hunk of metal into the ocean?
I would imagine so, I mean, it’s metal and rubber and all the other do-dads that go into machines.

What a great day on television yesterday. All angles were covered. Baseball and football all day long. Bears win. Movies galore making for great filler. Let me walk you through it.

I settled in on my couch after work and fell asleep again for an hour. I am sleeping more than usual and I wonder why. I think that I have achieved something that I thought wouldn’t happen for at least a couple more months. I purchased a couch a few short weeks ago and have been waiting to get it broken in. Apparently, the couch has let me know over the last two nights that it is ready for me. I get on the couch and cuddle up with my Coca-Cola throw blanket and next thing you know it’s lights out.
