I Got a Funny Feeling They Got Plastic in the Afterlife
Thursday. Today has been a busy day, for sure. First, it's website upload day, so that is guaranteed to take up the majority of the morning. On top of the usual fun of working on the website, I found out that the server that handles all of the company's various websites (including our main one) has been acting up and that our receivables website has been up and down because of it. So, I've had that added bonus to deal with since I came in the door this morning. Other than that, I am trying to approve these "emergency" orders for people set to the marvelously relaxing noise of all of the drilling going on in the background because they are installing new light fixtures in the building. Pretty awesome all around.
Today is Thursday, so that means college football picks!
After last week's hugely disappointing loss to Alabama last week, #23 Tennessee plays South Carolina. Ok, the Vols have to win this one. First, they have to win because they've already dropped too many this season not to have to win. Second, South Carolina is coached by none other than Steve Spurrier, one of my least favorite coaches in all of football. Seriously, if it weren’t for Gary Barnett, there would be no contest. Spurrier must go down and the Gamecocks must go with him. Tennessee bounces back for the win.
Colorado State plays New Mexico. This should be a pretty good MWC match up. The Rammies must take this one if they expect to catch up to TCU in the conference. Objectively it is an even pick, but I am going with the alma mater. Go Rams!
#1 USC plays Washington State. On paper this should be no problem for the Trojans, but I am convinced that USC will drop at least one to an unranked team this season. Will WSU be the ones? We'll see...
#2 Texas plays Oklahoma State. Texas should win this one easily. Why Texas isn't #1 I have no idea. They already are in the BCS. Maybe after this week they'll lead the subjective polls as well.
#3 Virginia Tech takes on #13 Boston College. This should be a pretty good match up as well. Keep an eye on this one. Boston College just might pull an upset...
Finally, #4 Georgia plays #16 Florida in the SEC game of the week. Hmmm... I don't like either team. Tennessee's already out of it, so does it really matter? I am going to go with Georgia because I hate them the least of the two, and because I actually think they are a better team than Florida.
Today I listened to One Foot In the Grave by Beck. This album was released back in 1994 around the time of his groundbreaking Mellow Gold. However, instead of a bunch of heavy production effects like MG, One Foot is pretty much a wholly acoustic album. Many of the songs sound similar to tracks found on Stereopathetic Soul Manure (also released in 1994 and oddly enough contains the track One Foot in the Grave not found on this album...) but does not have any of the weird filler tracks and samples found on that one. No, this album is pure folk, just Beck and his guitar. While the production values may be lacking, the songwriting is strong. If you are a fan of Beckian (Beckian???) lyrics, this album is for you. However, those who are only casual fans or less may be bored by this album. It definitely isn't Odelay. Recommended tracks: A__hole (which was covered by Tom Petty once), Hollow Leg, and Outcome.
