defeating darwinism
today -
I went to the library and picked up Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita . I needed something (relatively) light to read on the train when I go to school.
I watched Godard's Alphaville - which I thought had an interesting juxtaposition of a fascist technocratic future with characters with the ambience of a detective film, one of those pulp features. It was good because it was a science fiction movie that wasn't geeky in the least.

started reading Origins: fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution - it's a tough read, considering i don't have any background in astrophysics....i want to trudge through it though because i think it is an extremely fascinating topic, the thing is i just have to look in the glossary often because i am not familiar with a lot of the terms.

watched Kansas beat Memphis in a great Men's final game. I was right, when I did my bracket, I said Kansas would beat Memphis in the finals. I also thought North Carolina would be there, but I was way off with Connecticut. I didn't think UCLA was tough enough to survive, but I guess they were tough enough to get to the Final 4.
played ball this morning....I actually shot 109 times, making 45 of them. I was 2 for 8 from 3pt, but I missed my last 6 threes. I was making some nice assists and controlling the ball for once. I felt like John Stockton. I actually did a pull up 3 like Stockton used to do and missed. Heh. If this was an actual game, I would have scored 92 points. Makes you appreciate Kobe's scoring 81. (And Wilt's 100, but he was bigger and more skilled than the other post players, other than Bill Russell in his era, so I think Kobe's 81 is a greater achievement, since he's a perimeter player playing against better competition than Wilt.)
