No wild cards won this weekend, which means NY did not win, though the Giants had a more respectable time of it than the Jets. The Jets did a pretty good job ... until the Fourth Quarter. The Giants did just enough to lose at the buzzer (quite literally), but a 8-8 team will almost take that in the playoffs. Well, Tiki still has the Pro Bowl.
I was checking over the NYT part of the time the Jets game was on -- nothing special, but some skim material. For instance, some Oscar picks -- many which I do not plan to see, Clean (a drug addiction movie in which Nick Nolte plays the respectable reliable adult character) was good though. And, yes, Little Miss Sunshine, which I watched on DVD.
Meanwhile, there is a new show on HGTV (Sundays at 10 EST) called "Living With Ed" (Begley Jr., the environmentalist actor, a true believer). Seems cute, if a bit forced (well, such is life without good writers*) -- his more "ordinary" wife is named Rachelle Carson. Well, that's a gimmee. Tamara was on late Friday Night, a good time for a horror movie, especially a somewhat lame over one. Even later, which seems to be normal, D.E.B.S. was on last night ... this is a light spy spoof about teen girl spies in training, one who hooks up with an evil mastermind, who is deep down a lesbian aching for true love. Cute, a bit thin. I saw most of it in the past, probably switching channels along the way.
Epiphany (Jan. 6) is really the end of the Xmas season, so as the day ended, I took down my little tree and the decorations. The holiday is not completely over, however, when you still have unused gift cards. Also, when I put the little tree away, I had to move a set of knives that I was given like last year** (someone else won them, or something, and didn't need them). So, if vampires or something invaded my place, a set is readily available on the counter in their nice wooden stand.
Always prepared.
