After beating the Blazers tonight, the Nuggets won the Northwest division for THE FIRST TIME IN 18 YEARS. The last time we won the division Melo was 3 years old. Everyone kept reminding him of that while they re-ran clips of the '88 team in their short-shorts and the old rainbow uniforms and Doug Moe screaming from the sidelines. Everything is ( Read more... )

Brokeback was even more, um, devastating? this time around. Maybe it's just because tears are contagious and Roo was crying for the last twenty minutes or more and because it was close to one in the morning and cold as a tomb in that old theater. I don't know ( Read more... )

Every time I hear that song while I'm driving I get distracted by an NBA Cares montage goin' on in my head. Y'know, KG and the computer, Camby in South Africa, Manu in South America and, of course, Melo with The Santa Hat.

Speaking of, horizon_greene came through with pics of that Nuggets/Suns game. The boys beat the Bulls (barely) last night, and play the Cavs ( Read more... )

It wasn't the prettiest, but we did it. WE WON. And I think we played better than the talking heads are giving us credit for.

I will be watching the games tomorrow with bated breath to see who wins the Steelers/Colts match-up, because if the Steelers ( Read more... )

So, I had my eval yesterday. And I don't know if it was the phase of the moon, or what, but in a class where attendance is more of a "if I'm in the neighborhood, I might as well drop in and see what's happening" thing instead of, you know, a requirement, the WHOLE class showed up ( Read more... )

Finding papers that have been copied off of the sites like gradesaver.com is never a good way to finish out the weekend before a major holiday.

I tell them and tell them. I say, "As soon as I see the word "superlative" in your essay on Beowulf I'm gonna know that you bought that sonuvabitch. So don't TRY IT."

( Work and Sports and Melo. Because everyone needs a little Melo. )

I should never be allowed to make decisions regarding large amounts of money. NEVER. It always ends in tears. And debt. So, we won't talk about the car I bought over the weekend.

Instead, how about them Broncos?

And in other football news, how about some wise words from The Couch Slouch on the Colts: "What I don't understand about Manning is this ( Read more... )

On my way home tonight, I remembered, last minute, that I needed milk or I was going to be eating a cheese sandwich for breakfast. There was a problem, though. See, the only think open around here (as I've mentioned before) is The Ghetto Safeway. The one with The Squeaky Toy. The real problem with it, however, is the cops. They just congregate ( Read more... )
