Death of a Fucking Salesman

Lady Hoo-Ha falls onstage in Texas

• Barry Bonds is a convicted felon. That's funny. And a horse's ass, but the later is not breaking news.
• Next on the felon-to-be-list; Roger Clemens. How i hate that guy.
  
• The Red Sox suck and chances of them winning the World Series get worse as they dig deeper into a hole at 2 - 10. Team that start off that poorly rarely make the playoffs.
  
• I am still looking for a flat. I go to see one on Monday. I have been looking but not much is appealing.
• It's Semana Santa again. Luckily i'll have a few private classes lunes, martes, y miercoles. Maybe 10 or 11 hours that will pay in cash.
  
• I showed the MBA students Glengarry Glenross, the best movie about sales ever. They loved it. It also features the best 15 minutes of Alec Baldwin's life ( before 30 Rock) as Blake, the foul mouth consultant sent to wake up the sales force. The actors called it "Death of a fucking salesman" (do to the copious swearing.) Hey, they wanna learn English, i'm gonna F%^king teach them English. Jersey style. Boo yeah! The seemed a little shell-shocked afterward. It's a brutal movie about people who lie, cheat and don't care who they destroy to survive.
  
• i was sick this week, battling a vicious stomach bug. It didn't hurt but my butt was like a grifo (tap or faucet.) So i took some med and that helped. It didn't slow me down to much. Nothing does usually.
• Best album you've never heard? Stick Men - SOUP. Tony Levin (King Crimson) and Michael Bernier on Stick and Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson) on drums and electronic percussion. A put a link for the song SOUP a few days ago. They are like NOTHING i have ever heard. And i listen to a lot of weird shit.
• I am too tired to go out. I went out last night after work. Carla and i almost won the quiz at J&J's. We came in 2nd with 27 out of 38 points. But we did win tickets to an English speaking comedy club (the Giggling Guiri) because i knew the answer to the boner question; what was the population of the Madrid Metro area as of the 2009 census. I guessed 5.5 mil and the answer was approx. 5.8m. Carla was like, "how the hell did you know that?" Useless knowledge. My head is full of useless knowledge.
• More flat hunting manana.
• Double dip for the Mets. The first one is starting but it's on Fox. Blehh! Tim McCarver is trite, banal, hackneyed, etc. The Mets are playing their 2nd double-header in 3 days. Pitcher Chris Young was placed on the disabled list and NY is in the throes of a 5 game losing skid. Ugh!
  
• Tornadoes through Oklahoma and Arkansas with 9 dead. Lots of damage. Terrible.
  
• Japan's nuclear crisis is now rated a 7, the worst possible designation. Those poor people. An earthquake, a tsunami, a blizzard and a nuclear meltdown all in one week. One bad bad week. 30,000 dead. 400,000 homeless.
  
• Wow, i need to cheer up. I'm like a barbiturate with arms! I'll watch some baseball. But will that really cheer me up? I mean it's the Mets in Atlanta, which has always been a House of Horrors.
