• I completely overhauled explodingNOW!!!!. Hopefully you dudes or dudettes dig it. I tested it on Safari and Firefox on Mac. But not PC. I obviously didn’t test anything on Internet Explorer because if you’re using that I hope it looks like crap, because you are probably the bastard child of Satan. Personally I think the new look is a sort of Web 2.0 take on the 70s.

• All my fantasy football teams got completely destroyed this week. In one league I had the good fortune to play against Tony Romo and his 5 TDs. In the other I got to go against LaDainian Tomlinson and Drew Brees. Aslo, omg @ Joseph Addai tonight. Anyway, all in all it was a pretty fun week around the NFL.

• I don’t think I’ve even mentioned on here that I recently got engaged! With the craziness that’s been going on in my life I haven’t found much time to do anything. I will be moving back to Iowa in two weeks and getting married probably sometime in the summer. So updates on this thing could be sporadic until then. Stick with it.

• It’s fall, which means nothing but acoustic and folk-rock has been coming out of my speakers. If you were near me the last week or so you’d be hearing a lot of My Morning Jacket, Idaho, The Microphones, Band of Horses et al.

• For reasons which escape me, I only just recently have begun to appreciate Sparrow House (Jared Van Fleet of the wonderfully Spoon-like band Voxtrot). I’ll admit that when I first discovered the EP on Oink I jumped all over it. But for some reason on the first few listens it just didn’t command my attention. But it came on randomly a few days ago and I was confused. Was this the same band? Apparently I didn’t listen hard enough the first few times.

• Effen vodka and blue Gatorade is the best drink ever. And no, it’s not a girly-drink. It’s refreshing, not fruity.

• I finally got my brand new Guild acoustic in the mail last week. Maybe if you’re good, I will post a song for you sometime.

• Points are definitely not all that matter in fantasy basketball. I’ve come to the conclusion that the key to winning is two strong Centers. The more stats besides points that you can accumulate, the better. Also, my team sucks.
