Bad Behavior

Called in sick yesterday. My weeklong birthday celebration drinkathon finally came to a close on Tuesday night so let us never speak of it again. I seriously can't remember ever being more tired than I am right now. After two concerts, four nights of massive drinking displays, one DJ gig, a truly regretable quote and not enough sleep, I'm seriously hurting.

Big ups to everyone that came to bluestate on Tuesday. I'm trying not to take the fact that it was one of our more sparsely attended events ever personally. Actually it was better to have more friends than randoms in the room when it was all said and done. Special shout out to Catherine for the cupcakes (a big hit with everyone, obvs.) and L Boogie and Johnny English for the Cakelove and the presents.

In my sleep deprived state I forgot to bring in my birthday set list, so it will be revealed tomorrow. Until then, peep the photos.

As if that wasn't enough stuff filling up my schedule, we have exterminators coming to our apaprtment sometime this week (hopefully today) so I've had to find new homes for Mr. Pink. Miss Gl*mrocker was kind enough to take him from Monday until last night, but of course the bug people never showed up. So today I had to take him to the local vets and board him for the day. I spent the extra $4 and upgraded him from the "mid size cage" to the "junior suite" and also paid $8 so he could get half an hour of playtime in the "catnasium". All this and he's still going to be majorly pissed at me when I go pick him up this afternoon. *sigh* Kids.

Big Game 7 tonight. Who's gonna step up? Are the Spurs gonna choke? No team has ever won two Game 7's on the road in one year, so while momentum is on the Piston's side, history is not. Too bad I'll be asleep before the final buzzer. These 9:20ish tip off times = no buzz.

I won't bore you with all the Celtics related players playing in this series. Like how we cut Ben Wallace (ML Carr wanted to make him a shooting guard) three times as well as Bruce Bowen (actually, that's a good thing). And how we had the worst record in the L the year Tim Duncan was the top overall pick. The Celtics had two lottery picks that year and could have walked away with Duncan and someone like Keith Van Horn or Tracy McGrady, but instead got stuck with the third and sixth pick and Chauncey Billups and Ron Mercer respectively. Rick Pitino traded Billups in his rookie year saying he'd never be able to run a team. He was 2004 Playoff MVP. Idiot. Lastly, Chris Wallace wanted to draft Tony Parker with the last of the team's three draft picks in 2001, but Celtics matriarch Red Auerbach over-ruled him and took Joe effing Forte. We won't discuss how Chris Wallace decided to take the Nuggets pick that year (from a previous trade) when could have rolled it over until the next year (we could have drafted Amare Stoudamire with that pick) or the following year when the Nuggets took Carmelo Anthony with their pick, third overall.
PS - We took Kedrick Brown with that 2001 pick. But I'm not bitter. Not at all.

But I think the big question about Game 7 is will Peabs pull another Michael Stipe?
