At least Jason Priestly has Indy Cars to fall back on...

In regards to the headline, in case you missed the previous comments, I really thought the television program "Love Monkey" was the most recent example of why Target should stock piano wire and why all shower curtains should be at least 8 feet from the ground. On to other tidbits:

1. The band Okkervil River is pretty fantastic. Indie rock, to be sure, but not the real pretentious boring kind, except for sometimes. They kind of sound like Bright Eyes smelted with early Wilco. (I'm not saying they're that good. I suck at describing what music sounds like, that's the real important lesson here.)

2. I found suitable post-PTI programming. The CNBC show Mad Money is on at 5 CST and it features this bald guy Jim Cramer, a self-made stock market baron, who has more enthusiasm than a 4th Grade Dodgeball game. He yells, literally, for one hour about stocks he likes, throws stuff around this weird war room looking studio, plugs his book incessantly, and people call in and he yells at them and makes fun of their portfolios. It's awesome, and it made me invest some money. Two thumbs up. Cancel Around The Horn.

3. I know Joe Theismann is involved, but the MNF team sound pretty okay. Tirico is a solid play by play guy, Kornheiser is going to rule and hopefully Joe's mic has electrical shortages every week. 8/10 overall.

4. Apparently a 37 pound woman had a baby this week. I really have no follow-up, just heard it on the radio and thought it was the kind of thing everyone would like to know about.

5. Alex Gordon is not going to be worth a damn, he already thinks he's Mike Schmidt or something. As if the Royals needed this news.

6. If gas stations did what flower places do on Valentine's Day, they would get sued. What gives?

Comments:
Okkervil River is really good live. Their show in November was pretty amazing due to the fact that their lead singer (who by the way is a dead ringer for a bespectacled Sean Lennon) was just recovering from Strep Throat and their drummer was recovering from a broken hand. Red is my favorite song of theirs
