There Is A God And He Eats Wings

I am happy to announce there is now officially a wing night in Ohio City. The gods have smiled down upon my brother and I, and now the Old Angle will be serving their wings for only 25 cents apiece on Monday nights, along with $2 domestic beers. These are the same wings that cost almost a dollar apiece any other night of the week there, so it really is a deal. Last night as we left with a bill of only $24, we started laughing because that is usually the tip we have to leave when we normally go there.

Why We REALLY Got The Internet

I walked into the annex today and saw my computer was on a page with a history of NBA basketball MVPS. If you were to flash back three hours earlier at The Old Angle, my brother and I got into a small argument about how many MVP awards Larry Bird won in a row. I swore he didn't win three in a row and my brother swore otherwise. He did win three in a row. This is why the page was still up for me to see as I walked in the door, and this is the real reason we got internet access at the annex. Is there anything more satisfying than settling sports debates? I think not.

Get A Life*

Even after I had the audacity to say I would blog more with Wi-Fi, I still have been lazy. In my lame defense, it has been cold out, and we don't get our actual internet connection until Thursday. I made the appointment to get cable installed, and they gave me an all-day window from 8-5 to be ready for them. Perhaps they thought because I now will have both internet and cable connections, that I must also not have a life. Surely they are assuming I will put my life on hold for them. This could be true, because the first time I got cable at my place, I just missed the guy and chased him down the road like a crazy person until he stopped. I have an interesting relationship with my cable company, and I am sure there is a little asterisk next to my name whenever I call.

Watch Out World I Have Wi-Fi

I am sitting at the Old Angle watching playoff football using my wireless internet for the first time. Could things be better? Our parents got us an incredible laptop for the holidays and I plan on putting it to use. Luckily for me, The Old Angle makes it easier to do that. Hopefully this will help me update my blog more often. Who knew I could increase my productivity at the Angle?

Even In Loss, We Still Have Fun

This picture was taken right before kickoff, which is why we are both still smiling. Can you tell we are related? Our mother has been dressing us alike for years.

I'm Still Alive: The Holiday Version

It has been way too long since my last post, but there has been so much going on in such a short time. The holidays are so distracting, or perhaps I am just easily distracted. If you know me personally you can answer that last one on your own.

As always, Christmas was incredible thanks to my parents. The time and effort they put into that one day never ceases to amaze me. (The amount of champagne we drink on that morning also never really ceases to amaze me as well.) What I noticed this year is the amount of trash talking that goes on around the holiday season. While it is the season to be giving and jolly we tend to cut one another down in the process so that our new gifts seem better. For example, my brother got my mom a new throw blanket for her couch. The night before Christmas he went off about how her old throw blanket isn't big enough anymore and then he went on to point out it doesn't look that warm. All of this to make the new blanket seem that much better. Another example was the day before Christmas my father, my brother and I got into a little debate regarding football history. At the end of the debate, my father, in a tone I have never heard from him before said: "What? You think you know NFL trivia or something?" I couldn't believe the trash talk until the next day when I opened my new game of NFL trivia. Next year keep an ear out for the Christmas trash talk. I promise you, it's there.

As for New Years...you may want to sit down for this one. I just wasn't in the mood to deal with all the crazy people, so I stayed in and watched Seinfeld until 1 am. It was a great night. I could hear all the people yellling outside, but I didn't have to see them. I did go to The Old Angle at 1 am to meet some people, but I was glad to be back home soon after that. People make such a big deal out of New Years, but as I watched the ball drop that night during a commercial break, I thought to myself: What the hell is the big deal? Chances are I am going to have more fun going out any other night of the year, though I guess unlike most people, I do go out almost every other night of the year. Have a Happy New Year!
