Discombobulation is sweeping the Nation

I'm all discombobulated this week. Nothing's happened when it's normally scheduled for me, extra stuff throwing my schedule further off, and lots and lots of baseball. I've been to the last two Brewer games and we're scheduled to go again tonight. It can take a lot of energy to be a fan. There's all the cheering, all the clapping, all the beer; it can be work. Sorta.

Anyway, the last few nights the Crew have come through and are showing a spark that they'd lost for most of September. Perhaps they'll still make the playoffs, perhaps not. It's been a fun ride eitherway. Most of the time.

Yesterday was a 'rest' day

The 'problem' with Super Mario Galaxy is that the levels are all short. It's like a book where all the chapters are four pages long. You read one and think 'That didn't take long and was interesting. I'll read another.' Before you know it five hours have passed.

The difference is that in five hours I'd have read the book. Unless it was a very, very long book.

Luckily I've stuff to do today so I shouldn't have time to play and can loosen myself from it before it becomes a habit.

Hopefully.

Why is there a 3AM? And why did I have to see it?

Took my brother, his wife and a couple of our friends to O'Hare this morning. When I say 'took' I really mean 'drove my brother's van back home for them' and by 'morning' I mean 'left at 3:15am'.

Ugh.

I took a decent nap before leaving and got another one in after coming home but I'm a bit worn out by driving an unfamiliar vehicle through Illinesian construction. I hate the thought of wasting a day, especially as tomorrow is scheduled to be action-packed with bowling, comics, and baseball. Maybe I'll just take any accomplishments for today as a bonus. Maybe that'll work.

Now then, where was I in 'Super Mario Galaxy', hmm?

Bit sad that

The Secret Policeman's Ball must have fallen on hard times if they had Jimmy Fallon as part of a recent one.

Just doesn't seem right.
