Ups and Downs

Last night, Celtics v. Blazers...DMiles is going binoculars, bringing them back from 18 down (oh no!, not again) and then PP gets crunked in the mouf. Cue lump in throat. Shit was sketchy for a minute or two (apparently he got poked in the eye too). But my dawg is one tough mofo and comes back into the game.
13 seconds left, Zach Randolph on the line shooting two, Blazers are down one. Clang, swish. C's inbound, no timeout (good!), rush upcourt, give the ball to PP. PP calls for a screen, Mark Blount doesn't come fast enough. Six seconds left. PP waves him off. Rueben Patterson closes in and D's him up. PP makes his move. He's driving to the hole! Two seconds, one second...wait, PP pulls up for a fade away. He shoots. Buzzer goes off.
SWISH!
That is my motherfookin' DAWG.
Ahem...owned.

Someone please check on Peter May. He's writing positive material on the Celtics. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

Ron Artest asked for a month off to go promote his upcoming rap record. Read that last sentence again. Since this is your next question, Ron Artest is getting paid $5,850,000 this year to play basketball. But he needs a month away from the Pacers to tend to his burgeoning rap career. Unreal. He also says he doesn't know the meaning of the word "integrity".

The Red Sizzle claimed LHP Billy Traber off waivers yesterday.

Morrissey likes to drink White Russians.

First we get a positive Peter May, and now Pitchfork is actually breaking a story! My beloved Super Furries are putting out their own compilation mix CD, with each band member choosing a few different tracks. Hott. We'll be treated to selections from the Beach Boys (natch), Meic Stevens, ELO, Underworld and Sly & The Family Stone.

New idlewild record in March '05!

Does this mean you fuckers will quit writing about them then?

Mucho props go out to blogger extraordinare Martin Van Buren for his mention in the Boston Herald. Yes, you could say I'm jealous. [via Grambo]

I went to iPod DJ night again last night but am unsure if I'll ever go back. It was such a downer. I got there late and it was uber-crowded. Then the douchebag bartender was a complete assclown to me for the second month in a row. I'm going to go back to the bar at some point and take his picture and post it so everyone can make fun of him. This guy gives a new meaning to the word "disgruntled". I'll save the details until that post. Maybe if I do go back I'll just order tons of beer and never tip him. All I do know is I will have my revenge! Everyone else left early but I wanted to wait around and play my set, then one of the DJ's decided that they needed to cut line and play their own tunes, thus bumping me down another notch on the list. At that point I said "fuck it" and went home. Maybe next time.
