Stuff Only I Care About XXXVIII

Weekly Random Thoughts on the Yankees

The Yankees are 5-5 so far this season and find themselves a game behind Boston.

They play a three-game series at Fenway starting Friday night. We'll see then just how good both teams are.

Best news of the week: Chien-Ming Wang pitched five innings of no-hit ball in a rehabilitation start this week. If things go well in his next game, he'll be back with the Yankees by the end of the month.

Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Tar Heels

Tyler Hansbrough will be back next year. Ty Lawson will be back next year. Wayne Ellington will be back next year. Even if Brandan Wright decides to enter the draft, life is good. And Carolina should be sitting atop the preseason polls.

True Mom Confessions

Rebecca Woolf of Girl's Gone Child and Romi Lassally have launched True Mom Confessions, a place where moms can anonymously post their true confessions and secrets. They'll also be launching a radio show based on the site in May.

Please Help

If any of you have the ability to make Rush Limbaugh and/or Bill O'Reilly say "nappy-headed hos" on the airwaves, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance!

This Sucks

Kristin from Go Go Bimbo! is closing her site to finish her novel. Go wish her luck.

And Kristin? I'm still using Go Go Bimbo Inferno as the name of my midlife crisis garage band.

This Doesn't

Bite My Cookie and her husband are pumping out "Vagina Is For Lovers" t-shirts. If you're interested, drop by her site.

Rat(t) Poison

Ratt and Poison will be teaming up for a tour this summer. Rock!

Poison will also release a disc of cover songs entitled POISON'D on July 5th. They'll be covering Bowie's Suffragette City, The Cars' Just What I Needed, and The Romantics' What I Like About You. Also on the thirteen-track disc will be previously released covers like Rock And Roll All Nite, Your Mama Don't Dance, and You Don't Mess Around With Jim.

And I'm probably the only person on the planet excited about this.

Thanks

Jenny at Absolutely Bananas was kind enough to nominate my site for The Blogitzer award over at the Blogger's Choice Awards. While I'm extremely flattered, I know I have no shot of winning because
  1. the award is for "the blogger who demonstrates the best writing ability on his or her blog." By definition that excludes me.
  2. I'm up against far more talented and deserving sites like Dooce (who's already kicked my ass once in an awards competition), Fussy, MetroDad, My Tiny Kingdom, RockStar Mommy, Suburban Bliss, and Sweet Juniper!.
