Play Ball!
The New York Yankees are scheduled to play their final “Opening Day” game at the old Yankee’s Stadium this afternoon (although it’s being delayed by rain right now). Next year the team will play in their brand new stadium – currently being built next door.
Here are some of my fave Yankees this season.

Team Captain Derek Jeter
"Big Daddy" Bobby Abreu
In other baseball news, Preznit George W. Bush was booed when he threw out the first pitch of the Washington Nationals game. See the story from Towleroad here.
'Stop Loss' Is A Dud At The Box Office
Despite all the white meat hotness of Ryan Phillippe and Channing Tatum (which is a TOTALLY cool name), Iraq War film Stop Loss premiered in a disappointing 8th place at the box office this weekend.
Stop Loss brought in only $4.5 million, behind such future classics as Superhero Movie ($9.5 million), Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns ($7.8 million), and Drillbit Taylor ($5.8 million).
I think I'll wait for the DVD.
White Meat Monday Daddy Of The Day - Henry Cavill
Hot Henry Cavill plays Charles Brandon, the close friend of King Henry VIII on The Tudors. Season Two of this excellent show premiered last night - or at least I THINK it premiered, since I don't have friggin' cable TV right now!

Time Warner Cable Sucks ASS!
I am SO pissed at Time Warner Cable right now. My internet connection (Roadrunner) has been out since Tuesday – I have an appointment for them to fix it this Tuesday (that’s ONE WHOLE WEEK) without internet access in my apartment.
Yesterday there were some Time Warner repairmen in my building fixing someone else’s internet connection. In doing so, they somehow knocked out my cable TELEVISION. Yes, that’s right – no internet AND no TV!
I called Time Warner Customer “Service” to see if it was possible to move my appointment up to MONDAY, since it was THEIR fault that I now have no TV. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone yesterday, and got NOWHERE!
Bitch #1 – Was EVIL and hung up on my ass.
Bitch #2 – Was as nice as pie, and after listening to my story, said she would put me in touch with a supervisor. After being on hold for 40 minutes (I timed it on my cell phone), I got disconnected.
Bitch #3 – Again, nice as pie. Told be she COULD get me a Monday appointment, but I needed to be in my apartment between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM to wait for the technician. I told her there was NO WAY I was going to miss a day of work to wait for the cable guy. She said she felt sorry for constantly putting me on hold, and said she would speak to a supervisor and call me back. I can’t believe I fell for it. Needless to say, the skanky BEEYOTCH never called me back.
I HATE TIME WARNER CABLE!

Note: You all better HOPE I get my cable back before Wednesday…if I DON’T, there won’t be any Top Chef Recap this week!

What I'm Listening To...
Yaz - The Best of Yaz. Ever since I bought my ticket to their show in July, I have been wanting to listen to their music again. When I finally found my 20+ year-old CASSETTE tapes it was too late - those overworked bitches were DEAD. So the other day I bit the bullet and purchased The Best of Yaz - and it is phenomenal. I remember EVERY word like it was 1985 again.

Pool Party!
Now HERE'S a pool party that I wouldn't mind attending. Why do I only get invited to pool parties like this?!?
Couple Celebrates Golden Anniversary
Waverly Cole (left) and John Cook have been together for 50 years! They met at a cocktail party in 1958, and have been together ever since.
This truly warms my heart. Read the full story here.
Happy Anniversary!
