Dear LeBron, bite me. I have always said you were overrated. Dear Shaq, WHO DAT!!!

(Bonus points to Dilbert creator Scott Adams for this answer: "Saints are obviously favored by the Almighty Creator of the Universe. Colts are hoofed beasts that poop wherever they're standing. Advantage: Saints. The score will be infinity to 666.")

tjcrowley was in town this weekend, and I went out and had too much fun with him, and now I think I'm having a slight flu relapse. I'm not talking about flu in a bottle, either; the only thing I drank was about a third of a very nice bottle of Veuve Clicquot at Clancy's on Thursday night. Mostly I just wore myself out. Darren is one of those friends so dear ( Read more... )

Talk about clicking on the wrong link ... somehow, some way, I just ended up on a N.C. State basketball fan forum, and observed that their derogatory nickname for UNC is "Carowhina." Jeez, that's the best you could do ... Cowfuckers? A better nickname might be "Caro-why-do-they-always-beat-our-shitkicker-asses-na," but I thought that might be a ( Read more... )

Halftime, hoping my Tarheels won't get turned to dust in the wind by Kansas.

I've organized a rally outside Our Lady of Good Counsel (this must stay outside the church to avoid getting Father Pat in trouble, as he has nothing to do with its planning) for Wednesday at 11:15 AM, the day the archdiocese's final decision on the church closings is ( Read more... )

Chris has me taking an unhealthy interest in basketball again. I always keep an eye on Carolina, but in general I have become much more of a football fan. Now my dad's alma mater, Western Kentucky, is in the Sweet 16 (but having a hard time right now against UCLA). I'm currently watching Louisville play Tennessee and hoping Tenn will win because I ( Read more... )

DEVIL PZB: I don't wanna edit manuscripts tonight. I wanna smoke pot and read It for the ten- thousand-and-thirtieth time ( Read more... )

We decided we were too lazy to make it to the haunted house. Instead, Chris is watching the TNT season opener (that would be basketball, for those of you who don't follow sports; TNT features "Inside the NBA," the entertaining postgame program with Charles Barkley, whom I used to like but lost respect for in November '05 when he flippantly ( Read more... )

Tired. Sore -- too sore to stay as long as I would have liked at the crawfish boil yesterday. I feel as if I've just started to get back some semblance of a normal life and I really don't want my physical condition to start dictating again what I can and can't do. Of course, part of my problem is that as soon as I think I have some semblance of a ( Read more... )

My fingertips are killing me. I know that's not one of the body parts I usually complain about, but it turns out that installing peel-and-stick tiles (a better name for which would be "peel, stick, curl up, detach from floor, and finally re-lay using tile adhesive, sold separately, tiles") correctly is a lot harder than slapping them on every which ( Read more... )

I see where the following poorly written and punctuated comments were added to my Wikipedia entry (by an anonymous user, natch):

In the months that have followed [Hurricane Katrina], Ms. Brite has been an outspoken and sometimes inscrutable critic of those who are leaving New Orleans for good. Her criticisms have continued, despite the fact that ( Read more... )
