went out to collect my bike from the street and walked right into a bomb scare. so i decided it was a nice night to take a bike ride. all clear now.

more importantly the shop smart reopens on ludlow on thursday. i hope its still the shop cheap because that was its main appeal.

Msm siding with the advertisers again. Pretty transparent dishonesty in the framing of this reportage.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — For tens of millions of sports fans, Sunday afternoons in the fall and winter are all about one thing: watching football. Starting this weekend, Fox is hoping some of those viewers can be lured to watch that other sport known as football, as it pairs soccer matches with its National Football League games.

On Sunday, Fox’s network channel will show the English Premier League’s Chelsea play at Manchester United. Depending on whether the local Fox station shows an early or late NFL game, the soccer will be broadcast at 2 p.m. Eastern or 4:30 p.m.

downton abbey returns for its second season next week in the uk but americans will have to wait (wink) until january for the bastardized version that pbs will likely offer. last year they chopped off at least an hour so they could create 4 11/2hour episodes instead of the 7 hour long episodes shown in the uk. still baffles me as to why. maybe they had to get to the doowop reruns offered during pledge week.

its sort of a hackneyed upstairs/downstairs period drama but its well done if you like that sort of thing.

and season three has already been greenlit so you can set your dvrs ahead of time for january 2013.
