[nothing's going to satisfy me except you and a baby and the color tv]
guys, if you like sports night, you should totally go read everything that was posted for putting the sports back in sports night -- every single story is fantastic, and exactly what i was craving when i thought this challenge up. i'm so pleased! it was like a birthday present ALL FOR ME when stories were posted on thursday.
and not to take away from any of the other stories because they really were all great, but one story absolutely, 100% stuck out of the crowd for me: bring me the head of bobby knight, by scrunchy. it takes bobby knight's oft-discussed 880th career victory and turns it into something more; it's a little bit heartbreaking and lot hilarious, and if you can pick out the line that made me actually clap my hands together with glee, you get ... nothin'. but you can be proud of yourself, i guess. anyway: this story is amazing, and you should all go appreciate it.
and thank you, thank you to everyone who wrote for this challenge, pimped it, betaed for it, all of that -- you guys are also amazing.
in other news, i had a rockin' birthday weekend: the axis was drunk and hilarious for, pretty much, three days straight, starting on thursday; the parentals got me an exercise bike, the boy got me more ram for starbuck, triskellita got me a tiara (which i drunkenly called "my princess hat" last night), lnboz made me the amazing sg-1 sings [min's] favorite songs, and the axis and siscat both took me out for dinner; the tarheels got me not only an awesome first round blowout of eastern kentucky but also a gritty, tough-nosed second round victory over michigan state. (rageprufrock also wrote me dirty haiku about the tar heel basketball team, but, uh, i'm going to keep those to myself.)
and on sunday, keri and i met t. to see black snake moan, which, people, was so unbelievably good i can't even verbalize it -- i mean, the justin timberlake/christina ricci sex was worth $6.50 alone, but then there was a movie to back it up, a gravely, painful, very real movie, and i absolutely adored it. my post-movie summary was A+, would buy on dvd. you guys should all go see it, because a) it's awesome and b) keri and i would like you to make us some fic.
and that, my darlings, is that.
