Diamond Dogs

It’s Monday and I remembered what I watched on Saturday night. Watched 3 hours of Heroes. It’s like my memory was erased for three hours. There are a few hours I’d like to have erased, but they’re not in consecutive order. Now I’m starting this later than usual due to something I had to do after work and now the newest episode of Heroes is on and of course I’m distracted.. Ok, Jess from Gilmore Girls is now Peter and he was just knocked out by Syler the resident baddie. I used to read comic books all the time so this is all a bit familiar.

I do like this show though I was hesitant at first, now I’m hooked. Last night was a good night. Bill and I had steaks at Arthur’s and that was fun, then we walked around town and came home in time to catch the Sopranos which was great. It keeps getting more and more intense with each week. Though it’s not the intensity that occurred the first season, somebody got whacked but it was only a supporting character again. They did that last week too. I don’t mind. It’s all leading up to something big in a few more weeks, then it’s arrivederci Tony.

Entourage was pretty good last night as well. It was more about Ari which made it spicy. That’s a great character, Jeremy Piven really stepped in shit for that one. That’s a Hoboken saying, quite possibly a Lodi expression since a lot of Hobokeners moved out to that area in the fifties and sixties during that white flight. I know the Crowleys in Saddle Brook and the Scilaros on Blue Ridge Drive moved from Hoboken back then. There was even a Hoboken Paint on Industrial Lane back in the day.

Slept well last night after we watched a boxing documentary series on HBO about the upcoming Mayweather and De La Hoya bout. I do enjoy watching a boxing match occasionally. This looks like a good bout from what we saw on the documentary. There’s one person I know who loves the sweet science and I should ask him what he thinks. Next time I talk to Pedro I’ll ask. If I remember. I plan on going back there to Otisville now that the weather is nice again. Perhaps I go up and watch the fight.

Work was work and it was good. I think I’m finding my footing as an office manager. When I was an office manager in every way but having the title there was a system set up where I operated. Now, I have to create the system. It’s relatively daunting, but I think I’ll be up for it. I just hope they have patience. So far, so good.

Now Wedding Crashers is on, following Heroes. It’s the premiere episode and it sure is funny to watch straight couples trash their own wedding, because you know how sacred an institution marriage is. I’m sure they’re getting paid for their participation and I’m sure the money is going to charity which makes it worthwhile. Yes they seem like the charitable types, these couples. Such a sacred institution. Where’s the church? Yes the RC Church who just today equated same sex marriage an evil and abortion being terrorism. Listen to those men in gowns. And such lovely gowns too.

It’s a cool evening, a nice breeze flowing through the open windows. Nice cross ventilation in a top floor apartment.
