Baseball Trade Deadline

Posted: 31st July 2007 by T.F.P. in Sports

So has your team made a move before the trade deadline? I have only been following the Sox, Mariners, and Cubs sporadically this season and am therefore not very familiar with their needs. I know the Sox have basically given up on 2007 by sending second baseman Tadahito Iguchi to the Phillies for a minor [...]

Travis Pastrana Double Backflip

Posted: 29th July 2007 by T.F.P. in Sports

The X-Games will be taking place from August 2-7 this year in Los Angeles. I have really grown to like this event a lot, especially since they’ve added so many motocross-related events over the years. First there was just the freestyle competition. Then they added the Step-Up and Best Trick. I think two years ago, [...]

A Thorough Cleaning

Posted: 28th July 2007 by T.F.P. in Life

My husband and I didn’t have anything planned for today, so I convinced him to help me give the house a thorough cleaning. Usually, we settle for taking care of the superficial stuff such as vacuuming, sweeping, and washing dishes. We hardly ever get down to the nitty gritty (so to speak) and do any [...]

Anyone who drinks bottled water has surely heard these claims before: most of the stuff is simply purified tap water. Now, according to this Reuters article, Aquafina might begin saying as much right there on its labels. Some people think this could deter people from buying the water, but I don’t. As it says down [...]

Coastal Living

Sometimes I really get tired of living in the Midwest. The weather is terrible and the area doesn’t have much to offer in terms of nature. No mountains for skiing or snowboarding and no ocean for boating, fishing, and other water sports. I often dream of living on the coast, and since I’m not much [...]

Rewatching The Sopranos

Posted: 27th July 2007 by T.F.P. in Entertainment

I’ve still got a bunch of Sopranos episodes on my DVR from the sixth and final season. I’ve been rewatching some of them in the last couple days, and since I already know the storylines, I’ve been able to focus on some of the more superficial details of the show. For example, I can’t help [...]
