Thursday Randos:
- Wow- it's already Thursday.
ray: Always a tough week coming back after Christmas, what with the post-holiday blues, cold weather and all the sleeping schedule adjustments.
- Taking 'er easy tomorrow night, may roll out and see the folks...and then Saturday should be a debacle. Cats @ Bama at 6. Who Dey's playoff game at 8:15. Plan to be out in Cincy to watch both. Have decided to relax my "No UK games in public" rule just a tad this year- being in public actually relaxes me some, and football is always better in a crowd.
With all that said, I expect the ol' double-whammy. Bama isn't a bad team at all. And the F'ing Bengals??? LOL Something tells me Cincinnati is going to be drunk and angry late Saturday night.
- Man, the Blue Line was a dope spot for the crew for about 3 months. I remember I had one hot little blonde I met on MySpace meet me there one night. Those were the days.

@B.B.d.K., you may want to check out "Killing Fields" on Discovery. It's a mystery documentary series about the murder of a young woman near LSU in the late 90s- right about the time there were 3 active serial killers in the area. I have read a little about that era through the years and that time period somewhat inspired "True Detective." Only an episode in, the show itself is kind of hokey, but interesting nonetheless. Would be better as a straight-up doc series like "Making a Murderer."
- For the second time in two years, made it to the final interviews for a job I really wanted and was runner-up. Thought I had it both times. My closing skills obviously suck. I like my job and love my boss, so not desperate to leave or anything, but still.
- Where does Poythress rate as far as "Most Frustrating Players of Your Lifetime"? He's got to be up there, consider how his career began and his immense athletic talents. Rod Rhodes would have to be anyone's #1, but Poythress is in the conversation after that.
- Crock pot chicken fajitas last night were delicious. Lass even brought over some Great Lakes Christmas Ale. Nice little Wednesday evening. May have to use the crock pot more than 3x this year.
- 2016 trips on the horizon:
Atlanta to visit friends.
San Francisco to visit the lass's brother.
Boston in August for her friend's wedding- excited for her to show me her old college stomping grounds.
Possibly the Bahamas to visit her native land.
- Is it just me with UK basketball or does it seem like the entire season is a chore anymore? I love it, but it just seems like UK fans- including everyone here in GYERO- are just never happy. Even last year, we went 38-1 and still the season was a grind. People were worried and bitching. And I'm as guilty as anyone. We're in the midst of one of the great 7-year-runs of UK basketball history- arguably even college basketball history- and still it's stressful from November on. Maybe it's just because of Cal's freshmen philosophy and the growing pains, or maybe we've lost perspective a bit. I don't know.
