OK, I still feel like crap. Allergies are starting to piss me off.
I don't feel like exercising, I don't feel like cleaning up the house, I don't even feel like going to work.
Good thing I have today and tomorrow off. Whee, "vacation."
In the meantime, I'm gonna give you this filler blog, just so it looks like I'm doing something.

Got to say, I feel pretty good about Entertainment Weekly's "25 Manliest Movies" ever made. You can check out their list right here.
I mean, ordinarily their lists are heavy on popular culture and pretty far off the mark, as far as I'm concerned. I feared, based on their past lists (and I am a sucker for lists), that they would consider some crap like Shithead LaBeouf's "Transformers" or maybe even some crappy comedy to be "manly."
But their list is about 75% dead-on.
There's some old-school classics: "Spartacus," "Dr. No," "Bridge on the River Kwai" and "The Great Escape."
There's some new-school victories: "Inglourious Basterds" (the reason for the list), "Reservoir Dogs," "300," "Fight Club" and "Gladiator."
But a good portion of the list reads like a list of Mr. Bottlecaps' favorite movies: "Patton," "The Magnificent Seven," "Predator," "The Thing," "First Blood," "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" and … of course … the best of 'em all, "The Wild Bunch."

I don't care if it was preseason. I watched every moment of the Cowboys' "victory" over Tennessee on Friday night. And I enjoyed the hell out of it.
For all I know, the Cowboys might suck this year. And my Texas A&M Aggies are certainly going to be, uh, less than good. I'm gonna enjoy whatever victories I can.

Fantasy football draft is on Sunday. I think there's a pretty clear set of "Top 3" running backs. I have the No. 4 pick. And I just know I'm gonna end up drafting a running back who was good last year and this year is gonna suck. I'm just not feeling the mojo this year.
