The Office

Well, so far I think this season of the Office has been very awkward and has a lot of twist and turns. Pam and Jim's relationship has been really odd because sometimes Jim goes to New York to see her because I think he is making sure she doesn't do anything bad. Also, Jan had her baby without telling Michael and all of sudden he feels like he has nothing to do with the baby and does not want to be a part of anything that has to do with the baby. He has started to date Holly and they are going really fast. Later in the episode, the office is broken into and many things are taken. Due to Michael's awful idea, he decides to start a charity auction to raise money for all things taken. The auction is a huge fail because Michael told everybody he had Bruce Springsteen front and back stage. He actually lost those tickets and everybody was very disapointed because really, they were the only thing good in the auction. So the episode ends where Jim is driving to go see Pam but then for some odd reason decides to turn back and says hes not that kind of guy. I am excited to see the next episode because it seems as though Jim and Pam are going through an awkward time because they keep missing each others calls.

Minnesota sports

Is it just me or does it seem like in the state of Minnesota, our professional sports always fail. The vikings are now known as the vi-queens. They are known for their horrible defense and their horrible quarterbacks. Brad Childress, head coach of the vikings is just as pathetic. Star running back Adrian Peterson is the only gleam of sun in this crumbling football team. As for other teams like the Twins, they have a small payroll to work with and this decreases their chances of winning even though they are usually competitors for the AL Central. The twins have one of the lowest payrolls in the league. You wouldn't think of that because they tied the home run hitting Chicago White Sox for the American League Central. Unfortunately, the twins lost in a dreadful tiebreaker to the Sox and the sox went onto the World Series as the twins headed home to the Twin Cities. On an ending note, the Minnesota Timberwolves are even worse, they had one of the worst records in the National Basketball Association last year and many expect the same from the lowly wolves. Ever since they traded their star Kevin Garnett they have only been in a downfall since then.

400 did kinda blow

After the first day of watching the 400 blows, I was very interested in it so far and was excited to continue watching the French Adventure. Although, towards the end of the movie I felt like the story never fully developed or went anywhere. I think that it was not interesting enoughr for me at the end and I found myself seeking for a lot more then just Antoine face at the end. Maybe showing him where he was going next and what exactly he was going to do. On another subject I thought it was odd how the personality of his mom and dad changed a little bit throughout the movie. In the beginning his mom was just kind of a brat and his dad was on Antoine's good side. Then after his mom saw him while she was with another man made her turn very nice and a lot more helpful and tolerant to his behaviors and troubles. Then when she talked to him at the reform house, she was even ruder and worse then before stating that neighbors heard to much and that his father has totally forgotten about him. What awful parents. Overall I thought the movie was decent.

Dumb Construction and Browndale Bridge

There is Construction everywhere!!

As my Mercedes sped past the police station and over the hill onto Browndale Street, I flipped my blinker on and waited to make my left hand turn into beautiful Edina Country club neighborhood. When I searched at oncoming traffic, out of the corner of my eye I saw men in bright orange jackets working on the bridge into the neighborhood. As I gave them the “get the hell out of the road” eye, I noticed the bridge was exited off. I quickly merged back into a lane and drifted back into traffic.

Sadly enough, I really don’t own a Mercedes or a driver’s license, but my above frustrations are reality for the paying residents. The renovation does not come without a hefty cost to residents, a total of $ 460,000 for a 31 foot long bridge. The100 year old bridge is being replaced by a replica of the original which had became a crumbling hazard to the many drivers who crossed it.

Some students must go around the bridge many times a day and are becoming frustrated with the construction.

Workers are still removing and replacing the crumbling bridge which will not be finished until the end of October.

Twins Lose!

I watched the whole twins game last night it was awful. Only two hits for the twins. The pitchers on both teams did great, holding the twins to 2 hits and the white sox to 7. The only run scored was Jim Thome's bomb to center of Nick Blackburn. Blackburn did exceptionally well. One run doesn't hurt much but it will did if your offense can't pull together any runs. Michael Cuddyer started the inning with a leadoff double and he eventually was at 3rd with no outs. When there was a fly to center to Ken Griffey Junior, Junior sniped at home plate, with the help of AJ Pierzinski. Everybody hates Aj so it made the runner out at home even more frustrated.
The twins deserved the Al Central because they hustle and they work with one of the smallest payrolls in the big leagues. It is amazing a team can almost beat out the big payroll team and they hit the most home runs in the league. I think the twins had a good season overall and I hope they come back next year and can hopefully get to the playoffs and get farther then they did this year.
