Tuesday?

How did it get to be Tuesday?

My weekend was over before I knew it.

Friday, I went to M&T Bank Stadium to see the Ravens First Preseason Game. Shutter’s sister has Season Tickets and she let us have them for this Game. I know that these games mean nothing and all that, but I was looking forward to get a preview of Steve McNair.

I wasn’t disappointed either. The first team offense looked great. And not just because the Giants were without three starters on D. Jamal Lewis ran well. McNair’s passes were sharp. He was patient in the pocket. And in the Red Zone when all of his receivers were covered, he stepped up to avoid the rush saw an opening and ran the ball in. Dragging two defenders behind him.

On the second series, Boller took over at quarterback. On his first snap, he tripped over his feet. I am so glad we have McNair now.

The rest of the game was still entertaining, but I spent a fair amount of time watching the people in the stadium. I hate people, but I find them extremely interesting to observe.

Saturday was an odd day. I worked all morning on this web app that I’m working on. Went to a cook out in the afternoon. Came home and worked to the wee hours of the night on the app. I’ve got the Data Model for the databased designed. And I think I’ve done a very good job of setting it all up and making all normalized and stuff.

Sunday, I got up and started trying to code the code the app. It would be easier if I actually knew how to write PHP. I know sort of how it works, but I don’t know how to make it do anything except connect to the database. So every time I want to make it do something, it’s off to google and reading dozens of pages until I find one that answer my question. Then I get to spend an hour or so coding it till it works correctly. Then I try something new and the process starts all over. It is very frustrating. By six o’clock or so, I was so burnt out I couldn’t think straight. I was sure that I will not able to complete this.

We had dinner in front of a movie, the Incredibles and popcorn too. I was able to unwind a bit, but I must of still been stressed.

Sunday night (or actually Monday morning) I had a very vivid dream. I was sitting in a classroom. My 10th grade homeroom, I think. All of the people from my Department were there. My boss was trying to run a department meeting. But people were goofing off and not paying attention. It was odd. I woke up unrested and with bags under my eyes, even though I went to bed at a reasonable hour for once.

I had wanted to see Monday Night Football last night, but I missed it. I don’t care about the Vikings’ and Raiders’ scrubs battling it out in the preseason, but I did want to see the new crew of MNF. Especially Tony Kornheiser, I loved his Radio Show and I hope his humor will translate to the show. But it’s hard to tell, just ask Dennis Miller.
