Back to Austin

So I'm heading back to Austin on Friday to see The Calm Blue Sea's CD release party on Sat night at Emo's. I'm stoked to finally get back to Austin, see some friends, listen to some awesome music and even see my family!

I'll make sure to post some pictures when I get back of the party and fun in Austin. In the meanwhile, I'm stoked for the baseball postseason to get started. The NL Wild Card has been really interesting, even with my Astros losing out...but they pushed hard towards the end. As of this posting it looks like Sabathia has put the Brew Crew in the wild card lead with the Mets three outs away from another late season collapse. I'll throw my picks out now, Cubs are your NL Champs and the Rays are your AL champs. Who would have thought that at the beginning of this season.

So with that, we now get to listen to two sportscasters I cannot stand, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver...honestly the worst two baseball announcers out there. So here comes a great month of baseball and two idiots that will mess it all up.

At least UT football is playing well :)

Sunday afternoons...


You know...you can't really go wrong with a Sunday afternoon at all. You get the wonders of hanging out and doing nothing but watching football, catching up on nap time and running the pointless errands the week does not let you run. So this post is going to focus on one of those things that I follow, that is football, specifically fantasy football.

There is something about the lure of fantasy football, maybe its the inner Billy Beane in me, but I just enjoy playing it and working with the rosters. But today, my team is severely under performing. I guess that's just the ebb and flow of the game, but when your entire team decides to kick the bucket and you're about to become the worst team in your league...that's just awesome.

So as this Sunday rolls along and my fantasy team decides to play like a bunch of girls I'm going to enjoy the rest of my Sunday with some catching on napping, since I already did my errands.

Oh...I've hyped this band on here a lot, but you really need to go check them out. I think I'll head to Austin for their CD release party on 10/4. Check them out at www.thecalmbluesea.com and enjoy their music. And if you don't...well at least enjoy this poster.
