The Drama Jocks’ SportsCast #5: NFL Week 8, Here We Favre Again

After a week where both Josh and I were guilty of pushing the prognostication envelope with a few reaching picks, things come back down to Earth for the most part for Week 8.  We agree that the year’s conference front-runners have really come into focus and we probably know what we should expect from most teams.

… And, We’re Back.

I know, I know– I never really left.

Michelle and I are now settling in to our new apartment in Sun Prairie.  It’s nice here.  So far we like it.  It’ll probably be even better after we dig out from under all the boxes.  Big thanks have to go out to all the peeps that pitched in last weekend, because we definitely couldn’t have done it without them.  It would have taken us 2 days easily, and we might not have even fit in the trucks we rented; props have to go to Lisser and J. Hill for the mad packing skillz.

At this point, I am having a hard time figuring out where to start with unpacking.  We have so much to dig through, you can’t really *put* anything anywhere.  What would be ideal is a second apartment next door that could have been used as a staging area.  We could then open boxes, unpack them, and immediately put things away in the place they should go in the real apartment.  Is that too much to ask?

Michelle said that when the cable guy came over today, he asked, “So did you guys just move from a REALLY big house?”

Anyway, there’s plenty to do, but I’m glad that we’re back online and in contact with the outside world while at home.  The site will be going down over the weekend for a while as my old internet service gets shut off and the server gets moved to its new home.  Because of this, I will post the Drama Jocks’ sportscast in a different location (there will be a redirect).  I better get done with this blog, though, and start helping Michelle with boxes…

Weekly Twitter Digest: 2009-10-25

  • Subj of an email I just rec'd from mint.com: "Exceeded budget for Alcohol & Bars". Shocking. #
  • Just overheard a 22-yr-old student (who is an American) that never realized Thanksgiving was always on a Thursday. #
  • MPTV promoting a show about the 1930s with song "Time Has Come Today" by the Chamber Bros, circa 1967. Good call, PBS. #
  • Snipped the links in my blogroll suffering link-rot. Sorry, y'all; had to do it. #
  • As often as I've moved, i'm almost a bit surprised I haven't done so in the rain. #

The Drama Jocks’ SportsCast #4: NFL Week 7

In the interest of quick, efficient uploading, I must apologize for this week’s lack of “production quality.”  What you’ve got here is basically just the recording of the day’s conversation.  But, it does serve to get the picks in your hands quickly!
