Listen, after shooting sports in a nor'easter two nights in a row, I shouldn't even be sober enough to be able to type this.

What, did Lou Dobbs get tired of people demanding facts and non-racist diatribes?

I get to cover a soccer championship game in a nor'easter - for the second year in a row! Soccer with 50-mph wind gusts is hilarious.

It's amazing what things like Election Day and the high school fall playoffs will do to a guy's free time at work. Hell, I spent a good five hours sitting in the office today, not photographing anything, and only made a tiny dent in the backlog of stuff I have to do these days (hey, did I mention we do photo galleries now?)

So, for some substance, I offer you the various photos I've shot this year that have placed in clip contests (click on the photos for the contest links), with some commentary: )

You know, the MLB playoffs finally wrapped up, and I thought I was going to be able to get back on a normal sleep schedule, then the NFL decided to schedule the Eagles-Cowboys game for Sunday night. I haven't been watching as much NFL football this year - especially the Sunday night games - and was unaware they all started at roughly 1:17 a.m. Monday morning, Eastern time. So much for getting back on the right foot Monday morning.

In other news, I'm old and boring now.

Announcers tell us McNabb hasn't thrown an INT in forever, so it was inevitable he'd throw that pick.

I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that two of my cousins are stationed at Fort Hood, but the one who's currently deployed in Baghdad was probably safer yesterday. Thankfully, the one who's still based at Fort Hood, and the family of the other, who are also there, are all OK. Bizarre.

Tonight, I was using Songza to go through some music videos that I remember epitomizing the '80s (contenders "Land of Confusion", "Final Countdown" (the sorta-concert version) and "Got My Mind Set On You" all trail "Money for Nothing"), and decided to check on the lifespan of some '80s bands.

And discovered the Bangles are all at least 50 years old now.

Somehow, I feel like I aged a decade in the span of 15 minutes.

Five things I hate about the World Series, that are (mostly) not the New York Yankees:

1. Fox's insane overuse of closeups. We get to see every pore on Johnny Damon's nose, but don't know that the infield has shifted, the guy on second base just fell down trying to lead off and the third-base umpire is on fire.

2. Inane storylines from Buck and McCarver, who ignore everything that's going on to tell us that Mark Teixeira earned every merit badge the Boy Scouts had to offer, and what it means to him. Meanwhile, four innings have gone by, and we have to hope they manage to mention that seven runs have scored.

3. Eleven billion tie-ins, each of which must be mentioned or acknowledged at least once an inning, commercial break or pre-/post-game. Wanda Sykes, I'm looking in your direction.

4. The awful, disingenuous local Fox News promos, and awful local TV news coverage during the World Series. Are drunk, screaming people in a bar really newsworthy?

5. The reverential tone Ken Rosenthal and the other on-field reporters take with Yankees players after wins. I'm still not sure how Ken manages to be intelligible with A-Rod's dick in his mouth.

Oh, crap, McCarver can't even pronounce "Iggles" correctly.

Phantom score and an intentional walk to Chooch - what a weird inning.

Prediction: Wanda Sykes' new talk show will last 17 episodes, tops.

Rally lobsters come into the game: Flapjacks goes on my head, Utley homers. Flapjacks stays on my head.

Prediction: the American Express Faces commercial will be more memorable than anything from the Super Bowl.

Digital audio got garbled, and now Joe Buck sounds like Darth Vader's learning-disabled little brother.

Phillies starters for Games 5, 6 and 7: Cliff Lee, Cliff Lee, Cliff Lee.

Pettite is a human glacier. I could get a nice nap in between pitches.

The umps are gonna need to be escorted by tanks after that call.

Uh, A-Roid, aren't you supposed to be the best player on the field?

Swisher hasn't hit in a month. WTF?

Jayson Werth: awful facial hair, big bat.

Uh, Brett Myers? This should be interesting.

This just in: Cliff Lee beat the crap out of Chuck Norris in between innings.

A note for next summer: whenever the heck a drought hits, remind me to go out and buy some lawn equipment - whatever, an edger, a hedge trimmer, something. I picked up a leaf blower/mulching vacuum yesterday to try to put a dent in the four feet of leaves that have fallen on our yard through early-season nor'easters and constant wind and rain... so naturally, it was pouring this morning, when I planned to get up early and knock out some of that.

Now there are eight feet of leaves shrouding our property, and I'm pretty sure I might be able to get out and work on a non-rainy day by next Thursday. In the meantime, if you feel like coming over, just look for the house buried in leaves.

And they're mailing those bags to her office.

Her office in Maine, with a nor'easter having just slapped the East Coast, with winter right around the corner.
