The "Impi" song that Orica Greenedge played for the yellow jersey wearing South African Darell Impey is catchy as hell. That team seems to be the most fun, but then again Australians owned teams usually are.

I finally saw Much Ado About Nothing today and it was great if you like Shakespeare. Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof were amazing, as were most of the other cast. Very nice adaptation.

You can't buy beer in Lexington on Sunday until 11 AM. That will teach me to not do my grocery shopping while the holy rollers are at church.
And I know it used to be no alcohol sales on Sundays here, but what the fuck is the difference between 11 and 9 AM?
