Down Goes Arquette!

Well, if you were dying to know what actor David Arquette — from such cinematic gems as Scream, Scream 2, Ready 2 Rumble and See Spot Run — has been up to lately, here is your answer.

According to the report, he was trying to help a security guard, which is quite noble of him. It’s still hilarious. I mean, common, Arquette is probably one of the worst actors in Hollywood. Seriously, maybe the absolute worst. Thus, him falling down in public only makes sense.

But apparently he’s a pretty good guy, which is worth something. So in his honor, the picture of him laying on his butt at a Lakers game is my new desktop wallpaper.

Wow. The Red Sox are finding new and exciting ways to lose baseball games. I was on my way back from a meeting Monday night, listening to the game on the radio, and heard the Sox were down 6-1 early. A rout in progress, or so I thought.

I was still working at around 10:30 p.m. when my roommate, who happens to be a Yankees fan (I know, it’s terrible), called me, all excited, because Alex Rodriguez had just tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with a two-run bomb. TIED THE GAME? The Sox were winning? Since when? Since then. Now it was tied.

Five minutes later, I get a text from my Yankee-loving roommate, saying “Walk off!!!” — referring to the game-winning home run hit by Marcus Thames.

Although the days of a Red Sox win or loss actually affecting my mood are long gone, some losses leave a residual sting. Monday night's stung a bit.
