Fuckin' Grumpy
A bad day. I covered the awfulness that is the bankruptcy bill yesterday. Today, it passed; all the gory details (did your Senator sell out hard-working single mothers, disabled veterans and cancer patients? Find out!) here. I won't belabor that point, nor will I go into the laundry-list of other Awful Shit that now comprises a day's GoogleNews (try it right now - I guarantee you'll be disgusted). Motherfuckin'-ugh.
So, in the efforts of, well, not making it worse, let's focus on things (events, consumer products, concepts, etc.) whose mere existence actually make me happy, such as that is.

- NCAA Men's Basketball Division I Tournament Opening Weekend. I will shower and eat during the break in coverage between afternoon and evening games; otherwise, this will constitute four solid days of unadultered, joyful, nerve-wracking sloth. Maryland is doing their best to dampen even this most reliable founts of joy by getting their choke on, major, but no! I will not be deterred even if my beloved Terps manage to slink their way into the NIT, or the old-school 9-seed loss out West.
- Espresso machines: Beautiful, obscene, expensive AND they produce a particularly excellent form of a delicious, socially acceptable drug to which I happen to be addicted.
- New Beck and eels albums, upcoming.
- Spring Training
- Opening Day
