Louis C.K. Chewed Up premiers tonight, 11pm ET, SHOWTIME, watch it. I've been hyping this tour since the first time I saw him perform at Crackers in Indy in late June of last year, and I have no doubt it'll be worth the wait for the final product.
And...
With my head hung down I have to shamefully admit, I haven't given up hockey. Nor meat, nor soda, nor a few other less than healthy things I have been struggling with for the past year. I'm a weak asshole loser, what can I say. One of the ways that they get me is I wait until the last minute to cancel the subscription and then it's too late because I've already paid for the first month. Which means I'd have to call Directv and deal with them, bahh, fuck that bullshit. I just can't, I love my guys too much (look at these guys, can you blame me? corrected: I didn't intend to include a picture of Shanny, although I wish we'd signed him), I love the game too much, and doncha know the Rangers and the Sharks are going to play for the Stanley Cup in June? I'll be canceling the package at the end of the season, before the playoffs start. I'm preparing for this to be my last year, and I'll be doing so all season long. I may actually miss more than one or two of the 168 I have to watch a year. Now you know why I never posted the full hockey eulogy: once I started rewriting it, I couldn't finish it because it left such a sour taste in my mouth and that wasn't how I wanted to leave behind a game that I love so much. Although, it's not a surprise since I've never completed anything much longer than a post in my life (that I can remember, anyway). [Correction: I should have said essay, not post. I have several college and independent essays I have completed, some of which I was even proud of. It's been so long I forgot about them]. I have hundreds of pages of writing that abruptly stop. I wouldn't even know when something was finished or what that looks like. You have to have confidence in what you're writing to believe it's worth finishing, or at least have some support as a substitute. I guess that's my excuse, anyway.
The season really starts Thursday, but we have some silly, yet important European games for the Rangers as a team with a new captain. I had developed a healthy respect for Jagr after years of HATING him, but I'm glad he's gone. Until last year, Drury had (not so) secretly been one of my favorite players in the league for as long as I can remember. I'm pretty fucking excited. When you watch a sport, sometimes several hours a day, for nine months out of the year, you feel complete again when early October rolls around. Holy fucking Christ is that pathetic.
So 12pm Prague. Rangers v. Tampa Bay. Repeat tomorrow. And can the Bills go 5-0? Who will win the battle of the sorry-ass teams between the 49er's and the Pats? Two delicious days of sport.
