I haven't forgotten(a post of randomness)

I've just been busy the last few days.

- November is coming quickly, and if you look down the page to the right, you'll see that I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month again this year. If you think you've got a novel in you, and you're willing to try to yank it out in 30 days, then go to the site and check it out.

- Pictures from the wedding are still forthcoming, as I haven't had an opportunity to get the throwaway over to the Mart of Wal to get them processed.

- Too bad Jose Luis Castillo couldn't make weight, but he apparently gave Diego Corrales a sound thrashing last night. Hopefully he'll make weight for the rubber match, so that it will actually mean something instead of just being a glorified exhibition. (Glad I didn't pay $35 for the PPV, but it'll be on Saturday night at 9 on Showtime, so I can at least actually see it.)

- I'm having a really good fantasy football year, which is making up for the Jekyll and Hyde performance of my actual teams (Pats and Eagles, if you're wondering.)

- Hockey's back, which is nice, though their national TV deal is with the freakin' Outdoor Life Network, and OLN's graphics and studio set leave a little something to be desired. Go Flyers~!

- Well, at least the Braves and the Rot Sox aren't going to the World Series either. (It's 2-0 Angels in the bottom of 6, and I'm a pessimist.)

- WWE stepped on their collective johnsons this week. After having a spectacular return to USA Monday night(complete with mid-4 ratings), they were all set to have Jim Ross get canned tommorow night in favor of some guy from UFC, but he got cold feet and is staying in UFC, so JR's staying on Raw for the time being. Whoops.

- Raw was a mostly good show Monday night, with only two really big missteps. To borrow a page from my boy Swift:
The Good: Angle and Shawn had a good 30-minute Iron Man match, very thrilling; Edge and Matt Hardy had a great ladder match as well, and Matt should show up on SD~! shortly; HHH returns and heels out on Flair in spectacular fashion; A great old-time everyone out of the back brawl to end the show and potentially set up something interesting for Survivor Series.
The Bad: They open the show with Foley and Piper in a segment that has almost nothing to do with Raw; Austin stuns the entire McMahon family in a entirely overlong sequence that squanders the appearance of the only McMahon I actually wanted to see on Raw(Shane-O-Mac, who ate a stunner in 20 seconds.); Hulk Hogan attempting to get a feud going with Austin, who isn't interested from all accounts.
The Ugly: The fact that the lame Austin segment ran so long that they had to cut down the rest of the show to keep things on time; Mae Young running around in her bra.

It was entertaining to see the old guys, including the only surviving Von Erich(Kevin, who looked very out of sorts with the rest of the superstars), but unfortunately, they got somewhat short shrift as opposed to McMahonamania.

- Joe just brought in Al Leiter in a 2-1 game, and I'm at peace with our fate.

- My boy Air Guthrie has reactivated his Blogger blog. Go read him. He talks real good.
