Do you have anything of interest to say? I sure as shit do not. Finished "The Crossing" last week. Giving myself a bit of a breather, reading "Conclave" before I dive back into "Cities of the Plain." Also got "The Plot Against America" from the library, to equip myself against existential

Seriously, y'all. I have less than nothing left in my brain/writing quiver. Will try again next week, unless the sweet siren song of death calls first.

This week was just so very...very. It snowed here, I finally got my dishwasher replaced (fuck me, does going 2 weeks without a dishwasher reveal just how soft I am, even by WASP standards), did my annual "justify your existence" review, etc. And today...fuck shit to look forward to. At least with

What's new in the world, one might ask. Not fuck shit, one might answer. Appreciate this last weekend of both (i) full FITBAW schedule; and (ii) liberal democracy. Hey, there's a better than 50/50 shot prong (i) will at least come around again. Depends on when the shooting wars start, I reckon. Presumably,

Yes, second verse, same as the first. I have nothing to say, so have at it. Will I try harder next week? MAYBE!

Pardon me, but I have nothing to say. Talk amongst yourselves. Or don't. The floor is yours. Please come back soon, footed ball.

No, this is not a #HippoLyf reference, I am still a fat fuck who will remain such. Just...not much in the way of viewing. Our Kraut pals at Treyverkeusen look to wrap up their "Invincibles" status in the Bundesliga, home against Augsburg (9:30, ESPN+). Nothing else matters there, to my knowledge. After

I have literally fuckall to say, but feel free to post here. I posted Hot Bayern Girl because she must be sad today. The only excuse for Arsenal's frequent use of their banana kit? If it had "Bluth's Original" as the shirt sponsor.

Hey, guess who TOTES spaced that he agreed to Carpenter sommet out this morning? Watch this, while subbing in Mock Draft with K Hippo! Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is "Favourite TV series (including mini-series but NOT moviefilms) theme music/song." Wait 30 minutes or 5 picks before you go

What, did you wake up and hope to see Premiership footy? And then JV NFL?? Too bad, you get nothing. Absolute fuckall. Well, there are FA Cup ties, though the draw was pretty uninspiring (though surely nothing can bottom out as badly as Everton's dreadful nil-nil away to Palace on Thursday, when

Has everyone had just the bestest day? Since I'm the only (living) Wolven Sort around (paging Warthog!), I knew y'all would have. Talk about el beisbol if you want, but know that I will be quietly judging you for doing so. Ballsy: And he will be not so quietly judging me for

Yes, indeed. At least that's one pissed-offedness trigger that's on bye. Huzzah, universe! Ballsy: It's a good thing my alma mater sucks at football and I don't like them because they rejected my niece. That way I can enjoy college football without any aggravation.
