This Toyota commercial has to go

I can't wait until Toyota's current 0% financing deal is over. I've lost track of how many times I've heard their jingle today. "Saved by Zero" or something...knock it off!!

The same goes for the kids early this afternoon and the smoker next door. I keep opening and closing my front window, depending on if she's outside hacking and smoking. The smoke wafts right upstairs and in my window. Yuck!

Texas came out on top in the Red River Shootout today. I think they did a great job hanging with OU and got a few questionable late hit personal foul calls in front of the Longhorn bench. I don't think they would have been called on the other sideline.

I just finished up the lasagna that I was making for football at Susan's tomorrow. Hopefully Susan and Joe are just Jew-ish because I forgot and put sausage in the sauce. I'm an irresponsible teammate!

My Halloween costume will be finished as soon as I bring my stapler home from work. I haven't been this excited about Halloween (or anything) in a while. I think this would top Beaker two years ago, except for the fact that my hair was completely orange that night.

I added some mushrooms and extra mozzarella to some pizza and I'm flipping back and forth between the race in Charlotte, Penn State trying to give Wisconsin a second straight loss at Camp Randall, and maybe I'll check in on the Sawx-Rays game as well. It would be great if my remote could have a three channel rotation instead of just two channels on the return button (or whatever it's called).

Edit: And I forgot about the Mizzou-OSU and LSU-Florida games too! Baseball's going to have to wait tonight so that's ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, and CBS(Comcast 3, 74, 7, and 2).

Crazy Sunday for sports

It would have been nice to have 3 TVs today. The Jets had the majority of my focus earlier, but the Tour Championship, the Chase, and the Mets were all on this afternoon. I decided to wait to look for updates on golf and the race until the two events were closer to being finished and I had the baseball scoreboard up on Yahoo to keep an eye on the NL wild card and AL Central races.

I feel a little bad for the Mets and for rooting against them today (and for the past month), but I never feel really bad for rooting against New York teams. The AL race might be settled Monday if the White Sox lose to Detroit, but will go to a playoff game on Tuesday if the Southsiders win.

The Redskins are up on Dallas at halftime, courtesy of two Jason Campbell TD tosses, which is good for my fantasy team this week. I put him back in to replace Big Ben (I'm tired of spelling Roethlisberger) since the Steelers have a terrible offensive matchup with the Ravens. Over on CBS, the Chargers appear to be having major issues being down 15-0 at halftime to the Raiders. A few Nate Kaeding FGs would go a long way for me this week so hopefully they will get their helmets on straight for the second half.

I'm working on getting more of my bills paid automatically with my new credit card, both for the rewards and that I should take advantage of the offer I got in the mail from Chase checking. I'd get a free $100 for opening a new account and keeping it open for 6 months. I think I can handle that and that will give me a good reason to close my account at the credit union since I can't stand dealing with one of the employees there.

I don't give a damn

...says Walter, my favorite dummy. Liwayway and I saw Jeff Dunham and his little people in boxes at The Rock on Saturday night. We had a good time as always with good seats on the side of the stage, but I didn't enjoy the act as much as I did when we saw him in NYC in January. This was the first time I had been in the arena and it looks nice. The concourse is very bright and open and reminds me of the Giant Center in Hershey. I don't think I was too drunk when I said that I was looking forward to some hockey games this winter!

Arnita had brunch this afternoon for a bunch of us at her (relatively) new place in Passaic. The grits and shrimp were GOOD! I had to detour on the way since I ran into in a motorcycle rally in Woodbridge so I was a bit later than I wanted to be, but no big deal. Met one of her friends who lives in Geneva so I told her a little bit about our tour last year, although we didn't get that far south.

The Ryder Cup had already been clinched by the US by the time I got home and the race at Dover was also over. It was great to see that Jim Furyk won the clinching match and that Kyle Busch finished last, which leaves him at the end of the Chase field, 210 points behind Carl Edwards.

My fantasy team looks to be in decent shape with Joseph Addai's 2 TDs leading the way. I know I'm not getting any positive points out of Ben with all the sacks by the Philly defense though. Luckily, I'm up 50.22-31.85 with Nate Kaeding (Monday vs. NYJ) left on my team and Donald Driver (Sunday vs. DAL), Marion Barber III (Sunday vs. GB), and the San Diego defense (Monday vs. NYJ) for my opponent.

A trip to the grocery store tonight would be great, but all I want to do is watch Dallas-Green Bay and the Family Guy Star Wars episode at 9:00. Maybe I'll go after that...LOL.
