Thoughts from the Big Green Chair

So, another day, another wasted 24 hours. Again, just the way I like it.

Actually, it wasn't as much of a day off as I had hoped. Anne took Breanna to daycare on her way to work, only to find daycare wasn't open today for some reason. So, she brought her home and I had to watch her all morning and then drive her to school at 1245 and pick her up at 330. Actually, 345, which brings me to something else I had forgot.

I know that it takes Breanna 5-7 minutes to get into her winter clothes and we're about a 5 minute drive from her school, so I left my house at 330. What I didn't count on were two ignorant morons parked in my backlane waiting for their kids to get out of the school across the street from my house. I waited ten minutes for THEIR kids to get to the car, and I had no way to go around them. In that time, poor Breanna was waiting for me and by the time I got to the school to pick her up, the principal was on the phone to my house to find out where I was. Oh, man, was I mad!!! Well, back to work tomorrow and hopefully the daycare decides to open.

On the TV front, I'll keep my RAW thoughts short, since most of the people reading this might not be wrestling fans. I thought they did an awesome job of building to Sunday's PPV. Muhammed was right on the money and got awesome heel heat in his debate with JR and the King. Orton and Batista were booked strong heading into the Elimination chamber and even Snitsky/Kane has had an awesome buildup.

Watched a couple Poker tournaments today that I had taped last week. Some girl I had never seen from Texas won Ladies' Night on the WPT, which kind of ticked me off since Annie Duke, Kathy Liebert, Evelyn Ng and Jennifer Harmon were all in the six woman field. Also saw an hour of what looked it will be a long tournament from Vegas so I don't really have much of a comment yet except that my boy Negraneau is still in so I'll keep watching it for sure.

Right now, I'm watching "Listen Up", which is a really underrated show starring Jason Alexander from Seinfeld. It's in a good timeslot(Monday at 730 on CBS) and has a better chance at success than most of the other Seinfeld alumn shows. It's no Curb Your Enthusiasm but then what is? It's harmless fun, though and worth a look if you're not watching anything else.

Later on I'll be watching Vegas and CSI:Miami, so I'll update you on those tomorrow if they're good enough to warrant me remembering them. Have a great day!
