Wednesday Morning: The Week is Half-Over or Half-Left?

- Labor Day can't get here soon enough. I don't really have plans to go anywhere, but that's maybe a good thing. I think I've said it before, but working a Mon-Fri schedule really makes me appreciate the weekends and holidays that much more. I'm looking forward to lots of sitting around and sleeping. Too bad it will only be 1 extra day off, but I'll take it.

- Yesterday I was at Marshall Fields looking for a gift for my dad's birthday. That Jennifer Lopez song with LL Cool J came on, and then I suddenly noticed that I was walking along to the beat. Whether it was a coincidence or not, I don't know. But the more I tried to change my step to unmatch the beat, it seemed like the more in step I became. I could've sworn that the beat was actually following me. People around me were probably thinking that I was trying to do some sort of retarded dance, speeding up and slowing down and pausing in midair. Oh well.

- I caught up on Real World last night. Whenever CT is involved, the situation is always hilarious. Also, poor Ace. I kind of feel for the guy, except I'm sure he won't have any problem recovering from girl issues. The next episode looks promising, there hasn't been enough Adam drama lately. I miss his songs, they make for quality entertainment.

- With them being in 1st place this late in the season, the "Sox factor" is alive and kicking this year. It's good but brings about tough decisions fantasy-wise, especially as I'm still locked in a tight race there too. A conference with Chras on Sunday afternoon convinced me to bench Clemens against the Sox last night. He ended up getting rocked for the worst start of his season. Hopefully, they didn't shatter his confidence too much and it won't affect his following starts, but I don't think it will. After all, it's Roger Clemens. Now I have another decision on hand. Start Mussina against the Sox tomorrow? Hmmmm....
