More Randomness

Another (almost) week passes and no blog entries... sorry. Work has been slamming me: a project that we had timelined to go out on September 15, was moved last week to...

wait for it...

August 13.

So let's just say that time's a little tight.

But there are some things that simply need mentioning:

Despite the fears (and projections) of a less than stellar football season starting next month (the consensus is that if we finish 6-6, that should be considered a success)... football season tickets arrived yesterday! Then when I was at a Ventura County Bruins alumni meeting last night, this arrived at the door:

The shirts are freaking sweet, and something Lisa has always thought the Athletic Dept should provide to fans... and they finally have (gotta love that Slick Rick). We're hoping to turn the Rose Bowl blue. And then win!


Another bit of news.

OK, Streets of Fire was a pretty cheesy flick... but it had a Springsteen title, and I remember when it came out in the summer of 84 (just as Born in the USA was gaining momentum), my buddy Kevin came down from school up in San Jose, and we checked it out in Westwood, where I was still in class. Sure there was no Springsteen in the flick, but any Walter Hill-directed film that could bring together a smokin' hot Diane Lane (yeah, I had a crush... kinda still do, as do many others), the screen debut of Willem Defoe, and a live performance from The Blasters... well, 'nuff said.


When we were coming back from JO's last week, we were listening to E Street Radio on Sirius, and we heard "The River"... and there was a moment in the song, and it was like I was hearing it for the first time... I figure that'll be my next song explication... but that's for another day... gotta get to work now...
