Feeling a Draft

"San Diego (San Diego) that's where I'll go (that's where I'll go)
We'll watch the waves rise yeah as bodies glisten in the sun
San Diego sounds like fun"
--San Diego, Feeder

That would be the current theme song for Shawne Merriman, Luis Castillo, Vincent Jackson, Darren Sproles, Wesley Britt, Wes Sims and Scott Mruczkowski (in addition to the 19 undrafted free agents my beloved Lightning Bolts signed yesterday. What a great draft, the first-round selection of an admitted steroid user failing to cloud an amazingly productive weekend. Big help on the d-line, a special teamer/third-down back and some o-line help as well. I love it. Football season can't come quickly enough...
The end of the spring season at Aviation finally came last night, appearing in the form of a brutal second-half collapse and another loss to the top team in the league (ourselves excepted, I still feel strongly). Rough way to finish up, having enjoyed a 15-point lead at one point in the second half and proceeding to lose by five or six. Still, a blast of a season, playing with good friends and winning most of the time, and we're actually getting right back to it in a week or so, starting the next campaign. Struggling to move this morning (I couldn't even jog on the treadmill), my body is questioning such an immediate return to the court, but I'm sure I'll be all right with a little more recovery time...
Music that I need to hear more often: Rascal Flatts (re-introduced to me over the weekend by Cary, who is a big fan) and The Shins (that catchy "New Slang" song from the "Garden State" soundtrack is my favorite thing to play on guitar right now).
Music I'd like to hear less: Anything from anyone who has ever been on American Idol (I'm sure the Fox internet people will censor that last statement, but goodness gracious, it's true).
Game I need to attend: Galaxy vs. Dallas on Saturday (two straight wins with Landon Donovan in the lineup, and now they welcome the best strike partnership in the league: US National Team star Eddie Johnson and former Galaxy striker Carlos Ruiz).
Game nobody should ever attend: Any game in this Tampa Bay-Toronto series (not in the Stanley Cup playoffs--a regular season baseball set at the SkyDome). Seriously, have you heard of a single player on either team? Carlos Delgado? Nope, plays for the Marlins now. Oh well, nobody, I guess...(Suss, I just dissed baseball...)
TV show I kind of wish I was watching: The Office, with Steve Carell. I saw a few episodes of the original British series on DVD, and Carell is absolutely hilarious, so I'm sure this would be great. Plus, everyone I've talked to who watches it says it's quite funny, but I'm just not sure about adding to my list of two shows to watch during the course of a normal week (currently down to just one, because the West Wing season is over). I actually just looked it up to see when it's on, and it evidently follows Scrubs tonight, so it immediately becomes a possibility while I procrastinate Outlook editing...
TV show I'm glad I'm not watching: Battle of the Gridiron Stars. I know ESPN's struggling to fill slots because the NHL's been gone all year, but I really don't need to watch Alge Crumpler playing soccer against Peyton Manning or Chad Johnson knocking his tee shot into the gallery. Thanks for trying...
Upcoming "Best Damn" guest I'm excited about: Meat Loaf. Needs no explanation.
Upcoming Guest I'm not that excited about, because he gave me a ridiculously limp handshake when I met him at Abercrombie, accompanied by Jennifer Love Hewitt (who gave no such limp handshake): Carson Daly.
How do I choose between the two women in studio today: Leeann Tweeden and Pamela Anderson.
Off to "work."
