2-0 which is as good a start as you can have! It beats last year when we were 1-1. So far, Ben has 5 touchdowns to 1 interception. I wish he didn't have the interception, but his first two games last season he had 0 touchdowns to 5 interceptions, so I'll take it. The one problem I had with the game was that it took until the second half to get a touchdown. We had to settle for 4 field goals in the first half (thanks Jeff!). So, we have to work on the red zone. We wore our throwback uniforms, no me gusta the gold helmet and the white pants. Watching it was so strange, it didn't even look like the Pittsburgh Steelers, more like a college team or something. Thank goodness they only have to wear those one more game, a Monday night one if I'm not mistaken. If they had worn the throwback jerseys with the normal black helmets and gold pants, it might have been better, but I'll never know.

Remember what I said about the Bungles playing the Browns and how everyone would be loving them so much it would border disturbing, well the hell with that. The CLEVELAND BROWNS embarrassed them by defeating the Bungles 51-45! As I was watching the Steelers game, I kept thinking that the score that popped up on the screen had to be wrong. A Pittsburgh fan said that they had a Bungles fan friend who actually said to them, "at least we put up more points against the Browns than the Steelers." What kind of lunacy is THAT? Just because we put up 34 and they put up 45 means nothing. The notable thing is that our defense held them to SEVEN points, while your non-existent counterpart let them put up FIFTY-ONE! Most people didn't think Cleveland could score 51 points unless you added up about 8 games worth. So now, at the moment, we sit alone at the top of the AFC North: Steelers (2-0), Browns (1-1), Bungles (1-1), Ravens (1-1). It's also kind of weird because the Steelers defeated the Browns, who defeated the Bungles, who defeated the Ravens. Things that make you go "hm." I'm so happy that the Bungles lost, now everybody can see for themselves how horribly overrated they are. Sure they have a great offense, but if you can let a team that lots of people said had the best shot at going 0-16 hang 51 on you, you got something that needs fixing. Now Pittsburgh goes on to the also undefeated San Francisco. I'm upset because I can't watch it, but I barely watched last weeks, I was too nervous, but I recorded it, I just have to label it. Here we go Steelers! Beat those Niners!

I found a site where I got another antenna and memory stick for my phone. It was on sale, the cord for $2.99 and the memory stick for $49; when I went out to look for those thing, I figured I would be spending anywhere from $75-$100, but this was a welcome change. I'm a little nervous about it, it ships from overseas, and it won't be here until next week. Another dodgy thing is that if you don't get the 2-3 day shipping ($20 s&h vs. $4.99), you can't track it. God, I hope this site is credible and I haven't been suckered into getting my identity stolen. Again.

It was so weird, after I bought that South Pacific: In Concert DVD, the original movie came on today. I tried watching it, it didn't really hold my attention much, and the color filters that came up every number was just annoying. They were so harsh and it hurt my eyes. But the movie came out in 1958, and they thought the technology back then was ground-breaking, nowadays, it's a bloody eyesore. I also wasn't really believing the actress that played Nellie. Her singing voice kind of irked me, it was high and bordering on squeaky. It also wasn't country. I know, I got spoiled listening to Reba singing it, but the character of Nellie Forbush is from Arkansas. She should have had an accent.

I hate this week. My mother had a car accident on Tuesday, it wasn't too bad, she says her back hurts and her neck is stiff. But she has the WHOLE week off. Tch. While it hasn't been as bad as she could be, it hasn't been as nice as it normally is. Like I was watching Pardon the Interruption and she said I was laughing too loud. What they said was really funny. Why couldn't she shut her door? And speaking of too loud, Ms. I-always-hear-your-telephone-conversations-because-you-have-no-concept-of-how-loud-YOUR-voice-is. Whatever, I guess I'll just have to be quiet whenever she's home, no laughing or anything, since she sucks all the good emotions out of a room anyway. Tch.

By the by, I have another "old is new" favorite song. Just in Time from the musical Bells are Ringing. It's gorgeous. I know I'm down on relationships, but if I were to ever get married and could have one person sing one song for the first dance as husband and wife, I think Michael Buble (his voice is insanely beautiful and rich, a total panty-melter) singing Just in Time could be a heavy favorite. I may post the lyrics next entry, but right now, I'm going to take a shower, shut myself in my room, and wait for tomorrow to come.

I just wanted to get that off my chest before I went spare. But of course...

It just looks so different.

I'm phasing.
