"It's Friday. You ain't got no job, and you ain't got s*** to do." What movie is that from? The answer is here.

Happy Friday everyone. It's looking like a great weekend...the Hawks are gearing up for an epic tilt at the Horseshoe against Ohio State and this is the game that we need to win to get our season back on track. I think it's fair to say we haven't really put it all together yet this year (Ball State is one of the worst teams in the nation) so this will be a big test for us.

TheDad is in town this weekend for the big Lyric Opera Gala, which I will be attending tomorrow night. The opera is Carmen, which should be fabulous. Before that, I will be hosting a large brunch in my tiny apartment for the Hawk game, which should be equally as fabulous.

Props to my buddy at work A-Nizzle for being a loyal reader of the Offering. I now get flak for not posting early enough in the day.

Hurricane Rita has weakened to a Category 3 but has already started damaging the Gulf Coast, so keep the residents of Galveston, Houston, New Orleans, and coastal Mississippi and Texas in your thoughts this weekend. If you're so inclined, help them out as well.

Also, one more thing- if you would like to try some electronic music for people that don't like electronic music, check out Daft Punk's Discovery. It's melodic, fun, and worth a listen.

Have a great weekend.
