Non-Football Weekend

It really, really sucks that there is no football on this weekend. I guess I will just have to live with what is actually on today. There is Wisconsin at #21 Illinois on ESPN. There is Creighton hosting Drake via stick figures going to back and forth on the computer screen. UW will lose by at least 10. CU should win, but they have been so Jekyll and Hyde this year, it wouldn't surprise me if they lost.

Tonight, we have my wife's "holiday party" (yeah, it is almost February). It is going to suck balls. This will be our third one at this company, and the last two are awful. The people are boring. The booze are not provided. It is being held at the place where we had our wedding reception, The Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay. For those who were there, you remember that their all you can eat chicken dinner is prepared in heaven and flown down on a chariot made of chocolate and feathers, and driven my seventy brown eyed virgins. In other words, it is really good. Of course, her stupid fucking company is not having the chicken dinner. They are having some other fancy ass food. I'm sure it will be fine, but it is not chicken dinner. The one change this year is that they are having one of those gay, corporate "casino nights". I'm not really sure what it entails, but I'm guessing they have some table games set up, and they give you some fake chips, and you must win some prize for having alot of chips. As I'm hoping to end this night as quickly as possible, I plan to take all my chips, go to the roulette wheel, and put everything on black. If I lose, great, if I win, great. I don't give a shit.

RANDOM RENTAL MOVIE REVIEW:

I can to the decision that I am finally going to get Netflix. We don't rent all that many movies, but last night we decided to head over to Blockbuster and get a couple. We rented 2 Blu-Rays and it was more than $10 for 2 fucking nights. You've gotta be kidding me. Meanwhile, as long as you don't care if you only have one movie at a time (which, to be honest, is plenty at my house since I don't really have time to watch anyway) it is only $8.99/mo, PLUS you can watch a bunch of shit online for no extra charge.

Last night we rented "Step Brothers" and "Righteous Kill". I had heard good things about Step Brothers, even though it looked fucking retarded. I'll probably watch it again to make sure, but right now I will give it 3 1/2 stars. But if it is anything like most Will Ferrell movies, you have to watch it like 3 times to appreciate it. I didn't get to "Righteous Kill" yet, but it looked OK. It was about 20 years too late to get DiNero and Pacino together, but whatever.
