Heavy Metal Sunday is pissed off about his bracket

I know nothing about basketball, but each year, I take part in davehogg's NCAA Tournament pool. Now I understand where the term "March Madness" comes from. I have no idea who half these schools are, and they have taken over my life! Of course, after an optimistic start, my nearly random choices have burned to the ground.

So I'm pissed off and mad about it. As are the Texas Hippie Coalition a band out of Chickasha, Texas. They have released their first nationally released album, Rollin distributed by Carved Records and Sony, which moved into the top ten on the CMJ Loud Rock Chart. Nicknamed "The Band of Outlaws", THC is a hard rock with influences in Metal and Southern Rock. THC is made of lead vocalist Big Dad Ritch, bassist John Exall, guitarist Randy Cooper, guitarist Crawfish, and drummer Ryan "The Kid" Bennett.

These guys need to work with David Allen Coe like yesterday. But anyway, as I wait to see what new horror today's games brings me, enjoy Pissed Off and Mad About It form the best-named band I've seen in some time, the Texas Hippie Coaltion

Yes, I'm going to shave later...

I have found a new barber shop. Well, it's a hair place, run by the ubiquitous nice Asian ladies. Why I'm going back is that after I asked for an all over cut with the #1 guide, she made very sure I understood just how short this was going to be. I could also understand her despite her accent, which helps. Shave, trim the bear, and I'll look and feel more human.

We had gone out to make use of a Chili's coupon for free queso, and ended up being the first customers of the day. This had advantages and drawbacks. The skillet queso was great, but some of the chips had spent not quite enough time in the firer and were still soft and nearly translucent with oil that hadn't boiled out. When my fajitas came, the tortillas had the exact opposite problem. The top few on the stack had dried out and had become stiff. Not big problems, there were enough good chips for Kiri and me to devour the cheesey, tomatoy goodness, and our server quickly replaced my tortillas with fresher ones from deeper in the stack. I was making Kitchen Nightmares jokes as I dissected my food. One nice surprise was seeing collie13 at the restaurant. She just had time to say hi and give quick hugs, but nice seeing her again.

Enough excitement for the day.
