I would love, love, LOVE to get one of the Winter Classic jerseys that the Wings will be wearing for their game at Wrigley Field on New Year's Day. Sadly, the new RBK jerseys have been ridiculously expensive and I doubt this one will be any exception. I do, however, accept donations. Anyone? Bueller?

Got my laptop back today, just in time for the weekend. The crew at PC Warehouse in East Hanover are great, no lie. And the Wings won again tonight. Hossa and Zetterberg with two goals apiece. Good times, good times.

This time, it's my laptop. I'm 99.9% certain it's the backlight for the screen, so it's in the shop right now. This laptop's served me well for the past 5 years, so hopefully this repair will give it a bit more time. It runs smoothly enough for an old P4 2.6GHz maxed out with 1Gb of RAM, so I can't complain about that. And I haven't come close to wearing off all the text on the keyboard just yet.

From the debate last night:



I'm speechless. Simply speechless.

UPDATE: Here's another one, better quality, different angle. I still have no idea what the hell McCain was doing in this shot.

Even McCain's getting it wrong! Ugh!

From tonight's debate, courtesy of MSNBC.com:

McCAIN: Said Obama supported a congressional earmark of "$3 million for an overhead projector at a planetarium in Chicago, Ill. My friends, do we need to spend that kind of money?"

THE FACTS: McCain's phrase suggests Obama spent $3 million on an old-fashioned piece of office equipment that projects charts and text on a wall screen. In fact, the money was for an overhaul of the theater system that projects images of stars and planets for educational shows at Chicago's Adler Planetarium. When he announced the $3 million earmark last year, Obama said the planetarium's 40-year-old projection system "has begun to fail, leaving the theater dark and groups of school students and other interested museum-goers without this very valuable and exciting learning experience."

See? SEE? NOT an "overhead projector". I have to deal with this every day!

Thank Varitek for making the tag on that failed squeeze play. Off to the ALCS to take on Tampa Bay!!!

I've been suffering from sporadic migraines/stress headaches for the past two weeks and now I'm entering a third with, you guessed it, another headache. Wonderful way to begin the week. Again.
