Some Downtime & Univ. of Florida Makes Another Top Ten List

Well, my loyal and faithful readers, yesterday was the usual errands and stuff day and that was about it for Billi Pod.


What am I talking about you are no doubt breathlessly asking out there in the vastness of cyberspace ... WTF does he mean by ... “that was about it”...?


Well, what he means is that nothing showed up on any of his ticket services so he opted to stay in and watch the 8:00pm YANKEES/WHITE SOX game.


Yep, Billi Pod admits, in the name of fair and unbiased reporting, that he felt he needed a bit of “downtime” following his weekend double-doubleheader, so he spent the evening in front of the tube.


In doing so he broke a string of 41 consecutive days/nights of attending some entertainment event. Yes, even Billi Pod needs an occasional bit of “downtime” to rest, recharge and refuel, so don’t judge him, OK?


It was a very exciting game. The Yankees won 3-2 with a journeyman outing by our ace CC Sabathia, who won his 16th game even though he wasn’t as sharp as he had been in the last several starts.


The FuckSox lost so we are only 1 game behind in the AL East.


Tonight is game 2 of the 4 game series against The White Sox with Phil Hughes on the mound. If Hughes doesn’t have a better outing than his last two games he will probably (rightfully) lose his spot in the rotation to Ivan Nova.


Tonight’s entertainment event is ...


7:00==>TRICKS THE DEVIL TAUGHT ME - “A contemporary drama set in the fiery confines of West Texas where once invisible imperfections begin to poison the air. Right and wrong are swept up in a whirlwind of lies, hope, and haunting memories.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)


I have serious misgivings about this show, in previews, because every one of my theatre-nut friends who have seen it have HATED IT!! We will see.
