MAN CAVE: Life without the NFL

POSTED: Monday, January 30, 2012, 12:00 PM

Filed Under: Man Cave

This was my first weekend without football in a long time, so I spent my time taking in a few new experiences. I took notes:

— I started playing Words With Friends, the iPhone app which got 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin kicked off an American Airlines Flight at LAX. I'm generally not that good at Scrabble, but I try to participate in mass hysteria whenever possible.

— I downloaded the Netflix app for iPhone and watched Norm McDonald's special Me Doing Standup. This app is the only reason I ever make it to the gym.

— I checked out a freaky documentary about DMT starring Fear Factor's Joe Rogan. Now there's some stuff I'll be staying away from. A good strong India pale ale is all I need, but God bless these folks who signed up for a clinical study on this psychedelic drug known as the Spirit Molecule. While the doc did a good job generating a serious conversation about the issue, it was always silly when the DMT-advocating Rogan showed his face on screen. What, Snoop Dogg wasn't available?

— I listened to the forthcoming album by Ben Kweller, which is full of catchy, toe-tappin' power-pop. Kweller's coming to Union Transfer on March 21. If you want to wait to see whether or not you're going to like the new album, it's clutch, get a ticket.
