i may be a bird in a cage but at least it's your cage

a. So, back in September, triskellita went out of town two straight weekends, and when she got back, shep. and I were into bandom, and college football, and t. was all, wtf is this alternate universe of my life? This is only worth noting because last night during the Carolina/BC game, ESPN showed tonight's NBA previews, and I said of the Wizards game, OMG, CAN WE WATCH THAT? Somehow I'm an NBA fan these days. I don't know.

b. Speaking of Carolina, I do believe that last night we bent BC over so far that their mamas felt it. Florida State Sunday, and Duke next Wednesday. Bring on the 'Noles and the Blue Devils, bitches. (quicknow, you know I say that with all love and affection for you, and none at all for The Paulus, and The Scheyer.)

c. There are 358 NCAA Division 1 men's basketball's teams, and on February 23, 357 (if you count Tennessee) of those teams will be rooting for Tennessee. Somebody's going to run the table again in the near future, but if there's a God out there, it won't be John Fucking Calipari. C-USA, my ass. M-PAS: Memphis plus Atlantic Sun. That's not a conference, it's a goddamned bakesale.

d. From now until the first weekend in April, I'm paying attention to bandom, I'm still watching SG:A and FNL and Psych and I'll catch last night's SPN tonight, probably, but college basketball is my fandom. If you couldn't tell. A good basketball match-up will supersede anything else on my TV.

e. Speaking of bandom, I cannot stop looking at this picture. First off, Ryan Ross's suit brings me such glee that it cannot be textually rendered, and secondly, Spencer Smith's stupid little face, and thirdly, what the hell is Brendon Urie wearing, and FINALLY, MOST IMPORTANTLY, JON WALKER'S STUPID LITTLE FACE AND HIS STUPID LITTLE FEET. Every time I look at that picture I think Jon Walker DOES NOT WANT SHOEZ, because exactly the look he has on his face and his feets, if feets can have a look. Ugh, I love them so much.

f. One last morning of putting on grown-up clothes and hauling off to sit in my boss's boiling hot office talking London through the details of our project. Yesterday was a banner day; AJ went off to a meeting in the afternoon, which gave me two whole hours to go through all the super-technical specs with London without having to stop and translate taxonomist talk into normal person talk for AJ every five minutes. It was a whole day's worth of work in two hours!
