Random Thought
Why do I continue to watch the American Idol? It is not funny anymore since they weeded out all the William Hungs and now, its like watching a pretty good karaoke show except Paula Abdul is there and no one is getting drunk. But yet I can't stop watching and feeling uncomfortable.
I revived my basketball career over the weekend with my debut for Team Discovery Channel over at the Sportsgarden. To get pumped up, I watched Hakim Warrick score 36 and then Louie McCrowskey score 12 points in the last 80 seconds of a SU blowout. What the hell was that guy thinking, dunking on Providences third stringers, pushing the ball up the court when they were up 20+? Just a classless performance, he should have started fouling the Friars to get the ball back. We won the game by the way, a solid 5 point victory. I went 1-7 from the field, including my first 3 point basket in over 7 years.
Right now I am watching the Pitt Panthers destroy BC @ BC....I hope Pitt's parents and coaching staff rush the court and then cut down the nets.
UNC @ Maryland was the exact opposite of the Duke/UNC game a couple weeks ago. I only caught the last 2 minutes unfortunately due to a indoor soccer game (11-4 loss, 0-2 for the session), but basically what happend was Maryland gave up an uncontested layup to the best point guard in the country, and then the best power forward in the country, Sean May, blocked a game-tying effort by the Terrapins to ice the game. What a finish!
On to the Academy Awards:
My best joke of the night came during the Best Documentary presentation when I posed the question "Did you guys know that "The Story of the Weeping Camel" is loosely based on my life?" I guess its funnier if you are on your fifth glass of wine.
The Oscar's are fixed, plain and simple. Nothing suprising or even remotely entertaining happened...although it was incredibly uncomfortable for everyone involved when Santana teamed up with Antonio Banderas to perform the Oscar-winning "Al Otro Lado Del Río" which I am pretty sure is Spanish for "My hair is incredibly greasy and I love it".
Thats pretty much all I got tonight....
