I haven’t been sleeping much lately. There are issues that are too personal for the web, and I don’t want to become one of those people (I’d be linking someone from my past there, but I don’t want to give her any hits 😉 ). In the meantime, I’ve been watching a lot of Scrubs. A number of people kept telling me to watch it, and now I’m finally catching up after having downloaded the first season and a half (the rest of season two is on it’s way 🙂 ). One of the best parts of the show is its use of music. I was particularly excited when they used the incredible “Fighting for My Love” by Nil Lara in one episode. But what hit me most was a later episode that had a trobadour following the main character around for much of the episode singing a song with an acoustic guitar. I knew I recognized him and his voice, and eventually realized that it was Colin Hay from Men at Work. The song was an acoustic version of “Overkill” from their 1983 album Cargo. It’s an amazing rendition that, for obvious (well, to me at least) reasons, has been running through my head non-stop. I guess I’ll just reprint the lyrics without permission or written consent:

I think my heart is still pounding
My evening wasn’t going very well. Actually, it was downright sucky. So I’ll just say that I really needed this pick-me-up from the Eagles. The Eagles beat the Packers to solidify their lead on a wild-card spot and remain only one game behind for the division lead. They did it at Lambeau when almost nobody thought they could. It was a nailbiter with McNabb’s game-winning TD pass hitting Todd Pinkston with 27 seconds left on the clock. That was great football. That’s why I watch the game. We’re talking about a game that wasn’t sealed until Favre fumbled the ball with 1 second left. After finally taking the lead, the Eagles gave up a 45 yard TD run by Ahman Green on a fourth and 1 play then turned it over on downs when they failed to convert a fourth and 5 of their own. Yet for some reason I still didn’t give up hope and continued to watch – and the Eagles responded with possibly the biggest W of the year so far. Thank you guys!
P.S.(I couldn’t find this article about Philly fans last night when I originally posted.)
