The weekend

blairprovenceThe Good: Texas A&M won 54-14. Of course, it was over U of L Monroe, which I have not, technically, heard of, but the Ags got over 200 yards of passing yardage against them. Bodes well for Miami this Thursday night.
Also Good: Fun trip to STL. Got to go to the balloon glow in Forest Park Friday night with BF and kids. The Energizer bunny is HUUUUUUGE. Made me understand a little what Steve F. might have been thinking with his around-the-world jaunt. I wonder if they will find him. And if they don't, if somebody will have to wait 7 years to get all of his millions. (Should not learn law from soaps.)
The Bad: Cubs took the Cards for 3 out of 4 games. We're 6 or 7 back now, so there's pretty much no chance. We sat behind a row of Cubs fans and 2 rows behind two OU fans. Talk about seating issues. But as always it was fun to go, and almost sold out. I read that last week there was a Marlins game where only 400 people showed up. OKC would do WAAAY better than that.
The Unspeakably Awful: I was prepared for James Gandolfini to win the Emmy. Wasn't happy about it - I find his show boring and am completely over the Mobsters as Heroes thing (thanks, General Hospital). I also feel sometimes like Hollywood likes to reward actors for finding success when they look like normal people, like that somehow makes them better actors. (If someone thin and handsome acted JUST AS WELL as Gandolfini in that role, would they have been as acclaimed? Discuss)
BlairSis likes Gandolfini though, and she's a good judge without my biases. So I was sort of resigned. But then...
JAMES FREAKIN' SPADER????? SERIOUSLY???!?!?!?!?!?
Hugh Laurie was robbed.
Thank god the new season starts in 10 days.
