It poured on Monday, by the way.

Updated most of the sidebar menu option dealies over there —->. Check ‘em out.

As if to make up for the last two weeks, it’s a Monday night and it just started pouring while I was taking out the trash.

Updates have been made to the ‘recent views’ and ’scottish bugs’ sections to the right. Also, check out trailers for Open Water and Danny Deckchair (which are showing before Fahrenheit 9/11 at the Orange Showcase Cinemas). Oh, and there’s a movie called Kinsey which looks interesting.

This might be two Monday nights in a row without rain. I haven’t gone out there yet, though, so I could be wrong. It did rain this morning, however.

A couple things: 1. Ocean’s Twelve has a website and a teaser trailer (if you can call it that). The teaser has a pretty awesome look to it, but don’t think you’re gonna learn anything about the movie. Or even see a single frame of film. Nevertheless, I cannot wait.

2. thedigitalbits.com is reporting a September 28 street date for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Also, it’s listed at a $29.98 SRP. Considering that it’s a Universal title you can expect that to mean that it’ll be a two-disc deal.

Quickly: it’s Monday night and it didn’t rain. Whoa.

I just added the ‘future stimuli’ section in the menu on the right. Check it out.

I really don’t even need to say this anymore. It’s Monday. It rained.

Rained on us for three hours or so at the Cutters’ home-opener, in fact. In case you care, the New Haven County Cutters are the new team playing at Yale Field this year. Filling the vacancy left by the departed New Haven Ravens, they’re part of the independent Northeast League and they play a 92-game schedule. The league is said to be about equivalent to Double A ball. The Cutters won their first four games, all on the road. Tonight, in their Yale Field debut, they beat the Aces (a travelling team which plays all of its games on the road), 6-2 and improved their record to 5-0.

They play a good brand of baseball, do the Cutters. Having never seen an independent league game before, I didn’t really know what to expect. A couple of these guys were particularly impressive. Third Baseman Ryan Kane hit two doubles and already has three home runs on the short season. Starting pitcher Jordy Alexander (1-0) struck out eight Aces batters over six innings while allowing only one run. Second Baseman Gavin Fingleson made a great diving catch, had three hits and scored two runs. You might remember Gavin from the Australian Olympic baseball team. Then again, you might not.

Can I just mention that it’s Monday night and it rained?? With thunder and lightning, no less.

Also, I should mention for those of you who are paying attention (and who exactly is that, by the way?) that my fantasy baseball team, the Scottish Bugs, completed its first trade this past Sunday. Silvestre’s Team received Atlanta OF J.D. Drew and Chicago White Sox SP Scott Schoeneweis in exchange for RP Troy Percival of the Anaheim Angels. Arthur Rhodes has been disappointing so far and Jorge Julio isn’t on a good enough team to rack up the saves consistently so I needed some help in that department. Hopefully this’ll do it.

We had a pretty mediocre week again, going 5-4-1. This is a tough part of the schedule for the Bugs. As the #5 (of twelve) team in the league we’ve played over the last three weeks the #2, #4 and #1 teams, respectively. This week we play the #3 team, Juiced Team Heros (which is, by the way, Elliott’s team). Statistically, last week went very well. We led the league in five categories (runs, HR, RBI, AVG, strikeouts) and came in second in another (wins). It just so happens that the team we played - Scuffed Balls, the best team in the league - beat us in the other four categories and tied us for the league lead in homeruns (10). And that leads to a lackluster 5-4-1 record for the week. Hopefully I’ll get some wins back against Elliott this week (whose team mine would’ve gone 8-1-1 against last week).

Do you see what I’m saying? Here it is, Monday night, I just took out the trash (early this week), and it’s raining. Amazing.

I made some wholesale changes to the ‘Bugs after another so-so (5-4-1) week. More about that tomorrow.

Monday night is trash night.

Being the man of the house and all (ahem), every Monday night/Tuesday morning somewhere between 1 and 4am (which is many hours later than Alisia wishes I did it, but oh, well) I am charged with putting out the trash and the recycling. And it seems that almost every Monday night since we’ve moved, it’s rained. Which is not a bad thing. 1:30am on Tuesdays is a pretty lonely time in our neighborhood and there’s something about the stillness of the rain and the pink halogen streetlight and dripping tree leaves. I almost look forward to it.

I do wish our upstairs neighbor would put the trash cans out every once in a while, however.

I hope my dad does okay tomorrow. Sometimes I wish I had someone to pray to.
