But How Does It Feel???

Random thoughts as I read my USA Today from Tuesday:

* Bob Dylan has another album. Trying to figure out who looks more freakish scary - Dylan or Bowie.
* US wins the Little League World Series..... That's the only true "World" Series that I think the US could win at this point. I put Dominican Republic on the top of my list of favorites to win if we did a real "World" Series
* Speaking of "Not-Guilty by terms of Insanity"... That should be the plea for this Karr guy. Why would you say that you did it when there is so much evidence saying you didn't do it. What a nutcase. The guy needs some serious help.
* Iowa Governor Vilsack (insert Beavis and Butthead type of joke here) is still contemplating a run for President. I think the guy is an idiot and doesn't stand a chance. Not sure who tells these folks that they should run but I think that money could be spent better somewhere else.
* Winchester, KY makes the National news due to a Mercury Spill. A student dropped a thermometer and the high school was "locked down". Bet that was scary to hear with the modern day occurrences of shootings and such.
* US Open was held up by rain all day yesterday. So they showed a replay of the Agassi/Blake Quarterfinal match from 2005 and wow was it incredible to relive that set. I taped the last set so I have one of the most incredible service return shots I've ever seen by Agassi (down 4-5 [a break] in the 5th set, from the backhand side). I'll work on putting it online this weekend.
* I do like this "instant replay" system they are using on the main two courts (Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium for those that are curious).
* Strong rumors that Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick are an item (after he "casually" went to watch her match the other day). How many people around the world (both male and female) is that going to crush if it's true?
* The Emmys are announced and......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
* I still don't like listening to Styx - although Jim is trying to change that in the lab every day.
* Kick off is tomorrow.... can you feel the excitement? I am on day 3 of wearing my Cyclone Pride during Cyclone Pride Clothing Week (self declared) - where's your shirt?

Song of the Day - Thanks to Wyatt, I have a copy of EMF's Unbelievable again (couldn't find the other copy in my records anywhere.... records being "electronic paper trail" not those black things with grooves that spin in circles while you hear a bunch of static.

Video of the Day - I watched RVthis weekend (with Robin Williams and JO-JO... yes, she does sing at the end) and it was not very good. Definitely not getting Williams another Oscar nod anytime soon. I still think it would be cool to have a full sized RV though.

Webpage of the Day
- a fun and addictive game called "You Got Song'd".... random questions in random categories about random songs. I scored a 240 in the Movie Themes category and a 200 in Video Game Music.... still trying out all of the other categories.

Bob Dylan is coming to Rochester again this year...playing at Mayo Field. I just heard that on TV this morning. I've never been a fan of his stuff though.
