Go Utah

The Jazz-men have propelled themselves to 12 in a row. Wowzas...

What can I say? They're the home team. I love L.A. to death, dirty playing and all. But, this is the clutch. This the time that defines who people really are...and I can't go against the home team. The Lakers are gonna win the West. No doubt in my mind. And they deserve it.

But, my team is the JAZZ. They were my dad's team. He was there, courtside, before I even existed. Now it's my turn to pick up the torch. Go for it guys. Play like heck! I know you can do it!

You are sound itself...

I am currently listening to the new Sufjan Stevens song, You Are the Blood off that Dark Was the Night compliation CD. It is incredible. All the songs are very good...but when you get to Sufjan...wow. I mean, Ben Gibbard is fine and all...but Sufjan drops a track for some stupid collection CD and it comes off better than most of these guys' full length albums.

I want the next state, ASAP.

I Don't Wanna Go There

It's been far too long since someone's posted on here. So, I aim to bring more activity to this blog.
From one of my all-time favorite bands, Dinosaur Jr. Their new song "I Don't Wanna Go There." Rip it, J...

Telluriding It - Part IV

On top of the world, yo. The photo above was taken around Imogene Pass, elevation - 13,114 feet. The drive, courtesy of Telluride Outside, was on a one-lane road, sometimes only the width of the truck itself, with steep drop-offs. It was a white-knuckle drive, but very well worth it. The rest of the day, we relaxed, swam, ate. Tomorrow, we come back home. Boooo!

Telluriding It - Part III

Today we went to Trout Lake. We caught nothing. Ate lunch there. Lovely.
Then we went back to town and hit the park, which has a pond and a river that runs by. Zoe and I caught two fish in the pond.
Then we explored what was at the end of the road, east, past Telluride, because it ends on the map. Plus, you can see a waterfall from town (picture from part II), so we were curious how far you could get to it. Turns out there are two falls. The main one called, Bridal Veil Falls (picture above). We didn't take the one lane road up, but did get some good pictures.
Tomorrow we're doing a 4x4 excursion.

Telluriding It - Part II

Today we didn't do a whole lot but settle in. We took the Gondola, which is a form of public transportation here, to about halfway up the main mountain. Took in some scenery, snapped some pictures, and hopped back on the Gondola to the town of Telluride. There we visited a stream, ate lunch, and then went back to take a nap, which didn't happen. Zoe was too wound up, so we went swimming. For dinner, we went back to Telluride, but Zoe crashed on the way there. Probably because she barely got any sleep the first night in. Tomorrow - fishing.

Telluriding It

Yeah, you know you like that title. Arrived in Telluride around 6:30. That's a view from our room, of a fancier resort. All went well. More later...

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: REVIEW

...There are only three Indy films as far as I am concerned. End review.

Turning to Ice

With the Suns and Nuggets both down 2 games, I just may turn to hockey. Where, at least the Avalanche have gotten past the first round. They face bitter rivals, the Red Wings.

We're Ready...

So excited.

Climbing

The Nugs have climbed into the eighth, and final, spot of the playoffs with their win over Golden State. Will they fall? They've been climbing and falling all season. They better keep climbing if they want to get anywhere!

And all this talk about MVPs and not a mention of Iverson or Melo!? C'mon, fools! The best scoring duo in the NBA. Number 5 and number 6, respectively, in PPG, RBG, and AST. That's alright. The dusty, old cowtown is used to it. Don't even get me started on the team that's been to six Super Bowls, and just finally got a second member in the Hall of Fame. Pssshh!

Showtime

What happens if we lose?

Nothing! There's nothing at stake, and no threat. Beyond the shame of defeat.

Now all the planets are going to start cracking wise about our mothers.

[tearfully] I'm just glad my fat ugly momma isn't alive to see this.

Boycott

When you ask for volunteers to screen films, how do you keep quality control? Who's to stop an entrant from gathering an army of biased supporters? Maybe you do have some sort of checks and balances. Is there a grudge, then?

MVP

Aaaaaallllright, folks. Time to call your picks. Let's discuss who is walking away with the MVP this year, why and if they deserve it. Do you have any thoughts on who will win? Is it the same person who deserves it?

I'm calling Kobe Bryant. You could argue that he's virtually toe to toe with Lebron James and that therefore, James deserves it equally. But, aside from stats, look at what Kobe has done for the Lakers: he brought that team together. He is a fantastic player, but a better leader. And I think he's walking away with MVP because of it. Besides, James still has plenty to win.

Welcome to the West...

...ya arrogant snots. Lot harder than the East, huh?

Not as easy as it used to be...

This is EXACTLY what I needed to get pumped before the 48-hour competition. Yeaaaaaahhh....

Shaq Attack

Sheer brilliance? Or utter stupidity...?

Kerr's argument for adding him to the team is compelling and makes sense in theory, but we'll see. Let's just hope he can hold the middle court and give Nash and Stoudemire the freedom they need to be as offensive as possible.

The Scramble, The Catch

One of the best Super Bowls ever. Next to when John Elway finally won his first, of course. ;-)
With all apologies to Josh, Angie, and Jeremy...if the Patriots had won, I would have labeled it, one of the worst Super Bowls ever. Next to when the Broncos got trounced 55-10, of course.

Weird Fish on Arpeggi Bread

Shhh...don't tell them I did it.
