Pennies From Heaven and Other Last-Day-Of-Work Musings

Got a pleasant send-off from my now-former co-workers in Oak Brook, including a plate of Chicago Cubs-themed cupcakes (are you hearing this, SG?) and a lovely gift card for B&N.

So with the knowledge that free money is best spent impulsively, I transferred my "Secret Porn Downloads" file from my work hard drive onto CD, said my final goodbyes, and motored to a local B&N store where I secured a concert DVD for “Gorillaz: Demon Days Live,” “Haunted Heritage” by Michael Norman and Beth Scott, and the following…

Oh, come on. Like the very title doesn’t leap out at you?

To quote Chris Sims’: “Batman is a Motherfucking Hardass” so who better to swat down the Lord of The Undead? Yes, yes…I remember Red Rain. I found it dull. This version of Batsy delivering post-mortem comeuppance will be so much better. I mean, it has to be…right? The film can’t be anywhere near as boring as “Superman: Doomsday,” which I turned off 2/3s of the way into the story.

Oh hell, we’ll see…

Finally, will be heading into the city tomorrow night for the Blackhawks’ 2007 Home Opener versus Detroit, which is always a great match-up. Today, the team announced that Rocky Wirtz—whom, unlike his late father, many Chicago hockey fans respect—has been named Chairman of The Board.

I sincerely wish Rocky the best of luck in raising an organization his dad worked so diligently to send to the bottom of the ocean. Raising that ship, if it happens at all, will be a very long-term project. But considering what an awful state the Hawks are in, I dare say it cannot possibly get any worse for players and fans alike.

Yeah, too bad the team was swept by Arizona. But both life (and sports) go on...
