Random Monday stuff

[yendi]

1. I read Freakonomics yesterday. Damned fine read. All of you should read it, if you haven't already. Elayna wants to read it, too, after I told her about the cheating Sumo wrestlers and the Chicago teachers who cheated for their kids on standardized tests.

2. As mentioned this weekend, Windswept is auctioning a signed/numbered Alan Moore book. Auction ends in a few hours, so jump on it, folks!

3. Is anyone on my FL going to Balticon? I've got a friend (female) who wants to go, but can't afford the hotel. Anyone seeking an extra roommate?

4. I posted more Amazon DVD sale links this weekend, for those who only read M-F. Fans of Bruce Campbell, Clint Eastwood, and some classic anime will find some good stuff there.

5. My Mets made yet another move, grabbing Paul Lo Duca for Gaby Ferndandez. I'm a bit mixed on that one, but Lo Duca's solid. Now if we can snag Grundzuk Grazdiaka Grodzokiak Susan to play second base, and pull off a nifty pitching deal, I'll be pretty happy.

6. My Jets sucked yet again. *sigh*

I think Billy Wagner = the nifty pitching deal. Now go forth and be happy you have one of the best closers ever.

Well, it's nifty, but I want another good starter, and they're supposedly making a push for Zito.
