The Pinstripe Bowl Game

The Diva will be off visiting the granddiva and granddivos and will not be blogging for a day or two. I am not sure if those damn flying monkeys will try and post using a purloined iPad, because ya' never know what they will do while I am away. I will be back in the mansion in time to watch my beloved Wildcats play in the stadium of the much hated (by me) Yankees. The Cats will be up against the Syracuse Orangemen in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl Game Thursday afternoon. 

I do have a live stream of Pinstripe Bowl Game tweets on the left side of this blog.

Go Cats!

Happy Festivus, Diva Style (Purple Pride Edition)

Happy Festivus, Purple Pride Edition

Today, December 23rd, is Festivus-- one of the Diva's favorite holidays. What other holiday not only allows, but encourages, public bitching?

The Airing of Grievances:

The tradition of Festivus begins with the Airing of Grievances. 

"I got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it."

1) Which one of you flying monkeys is selling photos of the Diva to TMZ and the National Enquirer? Dambit, if you're gonna profit off of my fabulousness while I am spreading Holiday cheer around the neighborhood you at least need to split the money.

2) Dear much beloved, and respected, Coach Snyder--it is not a sign of weakness to experiment with playing other QBs on our roster...honest!

3) Curtis and Jake, what can I say? I hope looking GQ was worth being in Coach Martin's dog house. Sheyat, the Diva adores fashion but not enough to have this p.o.'d at me until the end of time:

Festivus Miracle:

For my Festivus Miracle I want a 2010 New Era Pinstripe Bowl Championship trophy. EMAW.

And for your viewing enjoyment:
 

Remember to celebrate the Festivus for the rest of us!

November's Nattering Nabob's of Negativism

Wow, what a November. The political part of it went great, work's not too bad, but football season?

How can I best describe what I have been experiencing this football season?



Well it started out this way:

Then progressed to:

Quickly slid into:

And has settled into:

Yes this football season has been as much fun as having a root canal done on one end and a hemorrhoidectomy performed on the other, without the aid of pain killers and mass quantities of alcohol. It has been BRUTAL. Two weeks ago the Diva thought she was having bad drug flashbacks to the 70s when getting a field goal in the midst of a 69-3 arse whupping was cause for a celebration.

Back then we were able to carry in flasks and six packs full of happy juice in to the games....this year we Wildcat fans had to watch it sans pain killers. Oye vey.

Our coach, Ron Prince, got the hook two weeks ago and like Ole George Bush he is a lame duck. We may or may not have a new coach...or we may have had a coach but when the story got out he may have gotten pissed and may or may not be coming. Or we may or may not have our previous coach coming back out of retirement or he might not be. Hell, I may or may not be the queen of the solar system (but I am the queen of the whole damn universe) or I might not be. Sigh. Two more games left in the season. Please make it stop

On a much brighter note, basketball season kicks off this weekend. The men and women play tonight.
