MODERN TERRORISM==>B+


Good morning to all of my loyal and faithful readers and followers out there in the morass known as cyberspace.

I hope that everyone had an AWESOME weekend because Billi Pod certainly did.

Why don’t we get started with Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s entertainment event ...

MODERN TERRORISM: Or They Who Want to Kill Us and How We Learn to Love Them, about a rogue group of 21st Century terrorists and their darkly comic misadventures==>B+

Yes, despite my early misgivings this show does indeed have its “funny” moments but it gets darker and darker as the story line progresses. It is extremely thought-provoking and very well acted. 

It does take a bit too long to fully develop. I feel that it could use some trimming from its current 2:15, with one intermission, running time.

Three of my theater buddies, Michael, Dennis and Vill’um, all gave the show high marks. It is definitely worth seeing if you are willing to give it the time necessary for the story line to fully develop.

On the sports scene ...

The Yankees lost 5-4 to Oakland, snapping a 7-game winning streak but, thankfully, we still remain 1-game up on The Orioles, who lost to the FuckSox.

Tonight The Bronx Bombers begin a 7-game road trip, 3 games vs. Minnesota and 4 games vs. Toronto.

The first game is at 8:05 and it will be Andy Pettitte (4-3) on the mound for The Yankees vs. Liam Henricks (1-7) for the 64-89 Twins.

How ‘bout them Gators!! We have moved up to 11th place in the AP Top 25 poll.

Our next game is Saturday, October 6, in The Swamp against the #3 ranked LSU Tigers. Can we beat them? Yes we can and yes we will. 

Oh ... did you know that Billi Pod hates Tigers?

Moving on ...

Why no comments about The Emmys? Well ... it’s pretty simple==>Billi Pod does not watch prime-time TV, therefore, he had no interest whatsoever in the Emmys.

Moving on some more ...

Today is Monday so it will be the usual errands and stuff, then ...

In the late afternoon I will do a major walk and wander session in The Upper Westside (the weather is great) and then will catch a movie at The Lincoln Square theater, the just released ...

THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER - “An introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors who welcome him to the real world.”

This comedy/drama has received excellent reviews and right now it is on a very limited release schedule. It is showing at only two theaters in Manhattan.

Had a very productive walk and wander day yesterday ... 

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>6.66  miles (or, 14,565 steps)

Mileage for last 7 days==>43.32 miles (or, 94,741 steps) - avg. 6.19 miles per day

Total mileage since 7/1/12==>436.48

Mileage remaining until 4/23/13==>642.52

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
