I know that this is a late post, but I have to put it out there. Last weekend was equal parts estascy, equal parts misery. First, as I have always done, lets dispense with the misery. I had a nasty sinus headache that came on Sunday and stayed with me till Monday. I had been house-keeping for my dad and think that Jolie’s ample hair (my step-mother’s dog) affected me as I haven’t been around her this much since I moved out. The bad part of it was that I missed work. I really hate missing work as we are a bit short-handed now.

Now the good part. I was able to see the team that I perhaps hate the most get decimated, destroyed, annilated and every other similar adjective. It was glorious – LSU 41, UF 11. How can I describe my joy? You don’t understand. I spent a great deal of my youth seeing LSU getting their rears handed to them by Florida in the 80’s and 90’s. Payback, boys, payback. It stings, doesn’t it? Anyway, the two big playmakers had some great write-ups this week – the Honey Badger here and the Swaggering Aussie punter, Wing, here. Wing continues to impress me and he is only a Freshman. Mathieu – what can you say? He may get the Heisman if he keeps it up. While I don’t want to take my eyes off Tennessee, the game against Alabama will be epic. It may be that the National Championship comes a little early this year.

Now the Saints. Steady as she goes is how I like it. They played a tough game, with a lot of stupid penalties. Not on their side, but the refs. When Cam Newton was hit as he released the ball, how is that roughing the passer? Are we going to make QB’s wear red jerseys and enforce a no hitting policy like what goes on during practice? Idiots. The Saints played well enough to win, and winning is the only thing that matters. Problems will just have to be ironed out before next game, so Payton and Williams are going to have to jump on that. Saints are rockin’, though.

Also, it this week I had some great Indian food prepared by my sister-in-law. I have the dishes in the Review section. I will also put a great Korean dish that I made there. My friend Anna came back from her monumental tour of America on Sunday and I made this dish for us to enjoy on Monday before I drove her to the airport. It was extremely tasty.

That was pretty much my weekend. I did work on Saturday, but it was pretty quiet due to the game. Or, at least it was when the game came on.
