Book - Roger Craig's Tales from the San Francisco 49ers Sideline (2004) [/] With the help of long-time 49ers beat reporter Matt Maiocco this book contains a plethora of anecdotes from Roger Craig mostly covering his time with the 49ers and a bit of college and afterwards ending with thoughts about the current 2004 year team. It is all anecdotes or thoughts each a few paragraphs length which makes for a somewhat disjointed but easy read. I found it interesting and Craig is very positive about his experiences and the 49ers team in general, the most ironically humorous are his thoughts on the current team and coach (this would be Dennis Erickson's 2nd year as head coach) and unfortunately I don't think any of his predictions panned out. Overall an entertaining read.

Movie - It Happened One Night (1934) [/] In this Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert romantic comedy, a spoiled heiress (Colbert) sneaks away by bus to meet her beloved. Gable is a down-to-earth newspaper reporter who recognizes Colbert and makes a deal to help her in return for an exclusive story. On the way they clash and slowly fall for each other... It's better than I expected. Apparently a classic though perhaps I'd only consider it that in light of the year released.

Popeyes Spicy Blackened Chicken Sandwich [/] This is a new menu item. Fast food-sized bun, fried chicken breast, mayo (with a bit of ketchup or something), pickles (which I omitted) for $5. I guess it's ok, not especially tasty but fine for a change of pace. I'd rather have the fried chicken.
