NCAA basketball observations:
First of all, Rick Majerus (and several others), when you get fouled, you shoot free throws. Not three throws.
I’m watching Duke/Gonzaga right now. Aside from the obvious rich white kid school’s draw, I am amazed at both schools’ abilities to recruit kids that look the part. I think 50% of both teams year after year have been made up of that brown haired, whiny faced kid who cried to his daddy when he didn’t get the color of T-shirt he wanted for the Kiwanis league in 5th grade. That same kid who always wore the newest Jordans and whose mommy would yell at the ref but only when a foul was called on him.
Lastly, I could look at this sophomore Heytvelt kid and tell you his name was Josh. With no offense meant to my friends named Josh, I would like to know the ratio of Josh:goatees.
Christmas is coming early for me today. I will arrive home to channels on my TV I have never seen before (although we did have it when I was four for about a year). I will also finally have the highspeed internets (Colbert audience laughs at that everytime). Along with that we are getting HD programming (BCS Championship Game at my house) and our high speed will be 10.0 Mbps download. With the internet, my backlog of posting might pick up, it might not.
Christmas can also come early for you. These radio stations that start playing only crappy Christmas immediately after Halloween (didn’t it used to be Thanksgiving?) really make me a Scrooge toward any classic Christmas song. Except for “Christmas Dream” by Perry Como; man, I love that song.
The radio station with nine lives, WOXY has the remedy. If you want some Christmas cheer without hearing “Santa Baby” every other song check out their Holiday Mixer. I thought it would be pretty tough to come up with a WOXY-level discriminating taste station devoted strictly to the holiday season. This stuff is great though. I’m currently listening to an original by The Walkmen.
If you get all Bah Humbuggy though, they still have their normal feed. If you aren’t listening to that already, then DO IT! (Then, Bibguy, you won’t have to ask me who the Scissor Sisters or Spoon are)
