Hmm. Let's review...

--The Tigers beat the Yankees last night and eliminate them, meaning I can now thoroughly enjoy the rest of the MLB playoffs.

--The Eagles beat the Cowboys and Terrell Owens is a non-factor in the game that was hyped as the "game of the year" because of his return to Philly, meaning at some level sweet revenge for McNabb (though he has too much class to say so publicly).

--"The Departed" opened at #1 at the box office, easily beating "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" 27 million to 19 million, meaning that good taste, for one weekend at least, has prevailed.

--"Straight Outta Linwood" debuts on the Billboard chart at #10, meaning that it's Al's highest ranking album EVER.

--I had no shifts at work either Saturday or Sunday, meaning sweet relaxation.

--And Chris Benoit made a surprise return at the PPV this evening, meaning there's actually a reason to watch WWE programming again.

You know, if I had just gotten laid, this might have been a perfect weekend.
