Birthday Setlist
Not to beat a dead horse into the ground, but I was so tired last night that I went to bed at halftime. And Ted Leo was in town AND I DIDN'T GO. That should put it in perspective for you.
I fully expected to wake up this morning hearing how the Pistons just won back to back titles. Honestly neither team was impressing me in the first half. So now I guess we should get ready for the deluge of is Larry Brown quitting articles. Ho hum. Respect to the Pistons though, repeating is no easy task and neither is winning one Game 7 on the road, much less two in succession. I actually respect my hated (former) rivals more than ever this year. They almost turned two with Lindsey Hunter as their seventh man. Now just imagine if the first guard off their bench was Dwyane Wade. But don't worry, Darko's gonna be good someday! At what, I have no idea.
Stupid exterminators didn't bother to show up yesterday so poor Mr. Pink had to make a return trip to the vet's office today. He wasn't very happy with his temporary surroundings yesterday. They said he sat in the corner of his cage all day and didn't eat anything. But on the bright side, they didn't charge me for the "catnasium". Oh, and he's a healthy boy. He got a rabies shot and he weighs in at 10.6 pounds.

This is how drunk I was: I was severly pissed off yesterday that I forgot to play my singlemost favoritist song of all time on Tuesday, that being "Sometimes(Lester Piggot)" by James. Then I looked at my setlist last night as I typed it up, and apparently, I played it. *shrug*
Sorry for those select few that actually came to dance. I had a backlog of my fave songs that I was dead set on playing. I know it's very hard to get your groove on to Billy Bragg, but it was my birthday after all. I'll make it up to you on July 9th. :)
I understand the Darko stuff, but here's the real deal.
When drafted the Pistons were deep at shooting guard and small forward, having just drafted Prince the year before, in a move that I believe dwarfs having the foresite to draft Mello or Wade. Not that he's better, but they got a fab player low in the draft.
The Pistons needed a big man bad, they needed one so bad that they traded a big part of the best bench in the league to get a very good one in Sheed.
If Darko was on a crappy team after going say, 5-7, he'd have numbers and hardly a win to his name, I really believe that.
Laimbeer for coach, with assistant Mahorn. It's the only thing worth doing with a team that already knows how to run itself.
Any chance of making a podcast(s) from your birthday setlist? Happy Belated Birthday, by the way.
