Is there any show better then the Simpsons, I mean really?

Hello friends,
Not much going on here it's been a constant rain all day long here with some thunder and lightning as well. I got to take this morning off woohoo, to get blood work done d'oh! Yep it was time for my three month, hopefully everything will be fine, keeping fingers crossed. So, the good thing about rain is I get to cancel tennis practice yay! We couldn't practice today regardless because our Varsity is home and when that happens no court time. We played our first match last week, and Junior High is similar to varsity we play 1, 2, 3 singles, and 1 and 2 doubles. They play one set to 8, and then everyone else is considered exhibition playing to 4 no ad scoring. Anyway our girls kicked ass winning 4-1 we only lost at 1 singles, everyone else cruised to wins. Unfortunately our boys struggled but I saw that coming. It's better for me since I coach varsity girls anyway haha! Our next match is tomorrow providing the rain stays away.

Well, the Boilers pulled one out, and the collective phew's you heard about 4:15 Saturday was every Boiler fan in the country. We won 38-31 in OT, and had to sweat out a game winning field goal by Miami with 20 secs to go, luckily Anthony Spencer saved the day by blocking it! This would have been a devasting loss, and ironically it's turning out to be a HUGE win. In the past Purdue teams have had troubles winning close games, so even against a lowly team from the MAC we'll take it. Like my good friend Egan said a win is a win! We have Ball State Saturday, look for the preview again on Friday. BOILER UP!

I have started a new book by James Patterson four blind mice. It's pretty good it's another in his Alex Cross series if any of you are familiar with that. It's what I look for a quick read, and something you have a hard time putting down once you start. I ordered 12 books from my book club and they all got here the other day so that's exciting. I got a new Iris Johansen book, she is probably my new favorite author. My sister turned me onto her, and I can't put her books down. I haven't had as much time to read lately, but I try to set aside at least an hour before bed. I got to read in the waiting room today at the doctor too.

The new season of the Simpsons started yesterday and I just have to say it's the best show ever. It's in the 18th season now, and the creator, Matt Groening, said in an interview the other day that he sees no end insight which made me happy! Did anyone watch it last night? Lisa befriended the son of Mafia man Fat Tony. It was hysterical, featuring guest voices from the sopranos, and Metallica. I thought the ending to it was classic and was laughing hysterically. Staying with the Simpsons I bought the 8th season on DVD the other day, and it is one of my favorites, with tons of my favorite episodes. Most of you know I don't really dig movies, but I will be waiting in line to see the Simpsons movie when it comes out! I'll say it again best show ever!

I was right on with my US Open picks as both Federer and Sharapova won, and I had picked both of them. Going with Federer really wasn't too hard but Sharapova was a little more out on the line, especially with how well Henin-hardenne plays at majors. Of course the storyline was Agassi's farewell, and him in tears in his goodbye speech. Never was a fan, sorry won't really miss ya. Navratilova retired again and went out with a bang winning the mixed doubles title with Bob Bryan, good for her! Everyone wants to proclaim that Andy Roddick is back, but the question I have for those people is who did he beat on his run to the final? Nobody really but Hewitt who lets face it isn't exactly lighting the world on fire. I don't like Roddick he is a whiny bitch, who comes across very arrogant, and seems to always be handed a gift wrapped draw. This year is no exception, just that he took advantage of it, then got waxed in the final. Anyone else think he might be miffed that the greatest golfer of all time from the US was rooting for the swiss guy in the finals? haha :) Long way off til the Aussie Open :(

Well, that's really all I got today not much substance but didn't really have anything to write about. Everyone watch the big brother finale tonight, I predict Boogie wins 6-1. Janelle will win the jury vote as well, and she deserves it. Can't wait!

Enjoy your Tuesday
Phats
