We're hitting that time of year when it's warm one day and cool the next, rainy for two days and dry and windy for five others. It wreaks havoc on my mild allergies and definitely puts a creak in my 36-year-old bones.

However, I'm feeling good upon returning to work after a week off. I'm rejuvenated. Ready to hit it. But, before I do, a few notes from the weekend:

1. Henryetta's winning streak is over, and I got to see it in person. We stood along the fence near the north side of the end zone to see the Knights get clobbered 43-6 at the hands of the defending Class 2A champs, Chandler. The thing about this defeat is that it wasn't really even that close. The Lions outsized Henryetta on both lines by a ton, and Henryetta was able to show no speed whatsoever. To be honest, and goodness knows I'm pullin' for those boys, but I'm hard pressed to believe the Knights were actually undefeated up to that point. Not based on that performance.

2. Adrian Peterson is done as a Sooner, and it bothers me none. Look, the karma fairies have not been kind to OU since the guy came to Norman. Of course, I'm not looking for some cosmic connection between our swoon and his presence, but it's time that Oklahoma find its identity in a post-A.D. world. Truth is, Quentin Griffin was still a better college running back. He did more for OU than any back in Stoops' tenure, even if he's not nearly as talented as Peterson. Perhaps it's time to give little No. 22 the credit he really deserves, alongside Little Joe, Billy Sims, Greg Pruitt and the rest.

3. Watched Syriana over the weekend. While it was interesting, and it carried an important message about the role of oil companies across the world, it was hardly a riveting movie. I was fairly bored by the whole thing, and I'm the core audience for this movie -- a good, anti-oil liberal. Nevertheless, I think it picked up some toward the end, enough to salvage what was otherwise a mild waste of two hours. For a complete waste of two hours, watch "Failure To Launch," which was a piss-poor attempt to duplicate the charm of "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days." Terry Bradshaw was surprisingly engaging, but Sarah Jessica Parker was a turd. Not to say I wasn't entertained because I was somewhat. The concept of the movie had potential, but it just wasn't all that funny and damn sure not original.

4. One movie I cannot wait to see is officially called Borat's Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, the brainchild of comedian Sasha Baron Cohen, who is best known as the guy who plays Ali G. I can tell you from having watched all the Ali G videos that featured this Kazakh character that this has the potential to be the funniest thing ever put onto film. I might literally pay $25, $30 to see this movie if I had to, his previous work as Borat is that good. If you don't know much about Borat, I'd just suggest that you not bring the kids and that you leave your stuffiness outside the theater because the character is crude, rude, racist, sexist but belly-laugh hilarious.
