Dear Vikings,
Please stop sucking.
Thanks,

God v. Man
For those sports fans keeping score at home, let’s recap:
Tsunami, hurricane(s), earthquakes, the NFC North, avian flu, – God has certainly come out early and come out swingin’ this season! Clearly, that controversial late trade for Terri Schiavo (FL) ended up being a smart move on God’s part – that little lady sure proved that she has a lot of spark left in her! With only a couple months to go before the All-Star break, God has to be feeling pretty good about his chances against the likes of Mohammed and the juggernaut East-Coast offence – as long as God learns from past mistakes and keeps Amy Grant on the sidelines.
On the other end of the spectrum is the struggling Man, who’s only victory this season came early from a still floundering Mars who hasn’t been able to do much to stop any one from just roving all over it. Man hasn’t started 1-5 since 1945 – when the season was prematurely cancelled because of WWII and a lack of nylons. If hope can be found anywhere, it’s that Man is expecting the return of last years recovering MVP – Pat Robertson – who is one of the few playing the game who had any success at interfering with God’s playbook.
Can there be any doubt that we have royally pissed off God? Dang, I knew I shouldn’t have returned those underwear after I wore them… for a week. THEY WERE CHAFING!
Seriously, I fully expect to turn on the TV tomorrow and to see Finland besieged by a plague of locusts, or everyone in New Jersey to become leppers… oh wait…
Or perhaps it will just start raining frogs? I like rain. I like frogs. I imagine that singing in the frog rain is just as fun, if not more so, than singing in the regular rain. Plus, we’d finally be able to get rid of all this left over Honey Smacks. How is this a bad thing again?

Movies
I actually saw two movies last week. I KNOW! Call me Gene Shalit.
To put it another way...
Serenity
So, if you haven't already, get in your auto, drive to that one movie theater (you know, the one that kinda smells like taint and tobacco) and buy a ticket to see Serenity. At that point, it's your choice whether to actually go in the theater and see it - but rest assured: your ticket purchase will be encouraging a sequel thereby doing the world a little favor.
Corpse Bride
Not so much. I really wanted to like this movie. . . but twas not to be. The visuals of the thing are amazing - the character design is hands down the best of the stop-animation genre. Sadly, the character's personalities don't ever match their aesthetics. Not only that, but the plot is a boring mess of unanswered arcs and meandering tones. See it if you like the art style, but bring a book.

The Times They Are A-Changin'
An update that actually has to do with my life!?! Stop this insanity.
There have been big changes here at DrewCorp LLC, and in times of great upheaval, it is often helpful to appraise such vicissitude in writing in the interest of providing clarity.
There's more, but I'm now exhausted. Don't you like the new play-thangs on my blog over there to the right? I'm a nerd.

New roommates, three of them!
Josh, Jenner and Zoe(a Dog-ish type thing). All good people.18 Credits
I'm not quite getting my ass kicked, but it's good to remember that I can function on 4 or less hours of sleep on a regular basis.I'm single
Sucky and good at the same time. I used to absolutely love being alone - so it's be rather freaky to find myself struggling to re-learn that being alone is actually a good thing. I understand now how someone can come up with a story as cool as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. Yay for understanding.Non-prom
The Awesome 80's Prom is on hiatus until early November, thus: free weekends. Holy crap, I have no friend! The social life provided by the Prom has been highly successful as masking the fact that my old circle of friends has more or less completely unraveled. With Bietz moving, the schism between certain other friends, and the constant marching progression of life taking friends in different directions, I'm left with little connections to an older version of my life.TV shows are weird
So I'm doing this thing with HGTV. All I can say is filming a TV show is a lot like being an adored child - anything you do that is remotely entertaining has to be immediately recreated thus removing anything remotely entertaining about it.

Van Morrison's Contractual Obligation Album
In the grand tradition of Artist resolving contractually obligated albums, Van Morrison's is one of the most entertaining. I'd never heard it before now (even though it was recorded in 1967) but Van's grasp of such socially relevant issues as "Ring Worm" and "Man, I really want a Danish" rings as true today as it did back then. Enjoy!.
