Thoughts from the Archangel

Sounds like the White Sox to me.  I am happy that Contreras went away.  Really, I am.  I am not so happy that Thome got traded to the Dodgers.  I guess it doesn’t matter who he got traded to, unless it was the Twins or something.  I’m just annoyed about it.  No surprise there…at least we’re not the Mets or the Cubs. <-the only way I keep myself sane about my team

I heard a little snippet of a rumor that we’re not supposed to be blogging at work, so I’m going to keep this short.  I guess short posts are still posts, but I can at least work it into a 15-minute break if I’ve got it all together.  That’s the plan at least.

I watched part of the Vikings/Texans preseason game, and, amazingly, seeing Brett Favre in the hideousness of purple didn’t make my stomach turn.  I just rolled my eyes and chuckled when they brought up that he (maybe) has a cracked rib.  There’s something to be said about hanging it up before it hangs you.  I guess that means I’m closer to being over the whole issue.  Week 8 might change my mind, but that’s for another time.

Here’s the random weirdness of the day:  my Yahoo! mail account has sidebar ads, just like every other webpage, and today’s pretty much freaked me the fuck out.

Okay, so this is an ad for Garanimals clothing, that, of course, they sell at Wacko-Mart.  In the actual ad, and not the screen shot I got here, the freakish monkey thing is animated and is giving that sleazy “heeeyyy” kind of pick up move to a little boy.  It’s almost like something out of a bad SNL skit, but worse than GoatBoy gone terribly, terribly wrong.

To make it right, here’s a good photo for you: Hot Guy Pic!
