I allowed myself to mope for the duration of a shower, and now I'm trying to look at it this way: 2010 has been fun, but it's not our year. After the success my two favorite teams had in 2009, it would be greedy to expect another championship this year.

So I got out of the shower and put this shirt back on.

I totally just realized that I need to go put on Paul Simon's "Have a Good Time." You know, the one that starts, "Yesterday, it was my birthday, I hung one more year on the line..." Because it was! It was a good day, mostly spent out in Worcester with the Gusters. Which seems appropriate, celebrate the turning of a year with the guys who have ( Read more... )

Chris Paul scores 61 points in High School for his Grandfather
My Wish: Chris Paul
Oh, we all know I'm a sucker for a heartwarming sports story. My cousin Pete recently reminded me of these two. Marry me, Chris!

Just read an update on this and I went back to read this older post and it really got me...

Making Rooms for Kids
I feel like I post about Ginny ALL. THE. TIME. At this point, you should just subscribe to her blog yourself. But I can't help it. I love her. She's probably my favorite blogger, in large part because she makes me laugh or cry with ( Read more... )

I loved this piece from WNYC on "The Uncanny Valley". It's about that "valley" between lifelike animation and real life, and how if you get something in that valley, it looks less like good, lifelike animation, and more like real life with something off about it. Fascinating ( Read more... )

Most Adorable Olympian*
Awwww, Geno. Can't wait to watch him play. But don't worry, I'm still loyal to my country - how cool was it when Brooks scored (his first goal in forever) and the Pittsburgh crowd erupted into "USA! USA!"
*I'll give second place to that sweet little JR Celski. But he doesn't have that Geno... how do you say "je ne sais ( Read more... )

I am so excited for the Olympics. They haven't even started, and I'm already getting all weepy over the commercials and the preview articles and and and... Just wait till the first underdog wins a medal after we've watched his/her heartwarming-life-story feature ( Read more... )

Ohhhh, to be back home: http://twitter.com/JanePitt/statuses/8558437968

(Actually, I'm sitting here with a giant peanut butter brownie, so same difference, probably.)

You guys, I got a $100 Urban Outfitters gift card just before Christmas, and I went to use it while I was in Pittsburgh. And they had this AMAZING cheesy vintage-looking Steelers sweater that I wanted so bad. But it was $68, and even though my gift card would have covered it, I couldn't justify spending that much on it. I got a pair of pants and ( Read more... )

Love Thursday
Oh, it's not news to anyone that stories about siblings just getmerighthere.

Millennium man
Another one mostly just for myself, but I really like Brooks, and would love to see him stay in Pittsburgh and climb that list for the rest of his career. Unfortunately, this post probably jinxed him because he got injured the next week here ( Read more... )
