I, too, like the Texans' pick.

Crazy story. I know it is such a freak accident that it'll never happen to him again, but I'd have such a hard time getting back out there.

The last week I smoked was the Saturday night before classes started in the fall of my freshman year of college. I don't really know why, but I decided to quit after that. Beer was easy to get in college, but my reasoning was that it still took more effort to get drunk than get high. You can get hi...

I still smoke on rare occasions - usually when I visit an old friend, but I cut back to this level when my daughter was born. Gave away all my paraphernalia when she was just a few days old. When I'm out there, I love picking out my goodies from the menu from the dispensary my sister frequents. Ice...

I think he was joking.

Btw, Lakers will not win the 2013 NBA championship. I just now figured this out. Neither will the Rockets. I'm scared to look up the most lopsided series in playoff history because I won't be surprised if the Rockets beat it. Well, shit. Had a great chance to steal one last night. McHale's adjustme...

Just got tickets to see Bob Dylan, Wilco and My Morning Jacket on their Americana tour this summer at the local amphitheater. God, I hope Dylan is better than he was when I saw him at B.U. Just ask Sybian how bad it was. I have a friend who is leaning hard on me to join him at that show when they c...

The Black Crowes in Austin on Saturday night!

I love the dark chocolate peanut butter cups.

Todd Barry premieres his this week.

Michael Shannon deserves some kind of an award for this. I sent that link to my LadyFriend in Seattle, who forwarded it to her 20 year old daughter who is in a sorority. The daughter said that her sorority had already had a long talk about that email, and are using it as a "teaching moment&quo...

A. Damn. This shit is crazy. Been up since 5:00, and took me until 6ish to get through my Twitter feed (Tweetbot only loaded the last 800ish tweets, so I missed out on most of the earlier events last night/early AM). My money's on others involved. B. Finally got my ass here to Swamp 6.0. My legs we...

The Czech Stop is awesome if you ever find yourself on that stretch of highway. Do they have Czech food? (Dumplings, sausages, kraut and whatnot). If so, I'm going to add that of my list of places to check out when I take my epic roadtrip one day. No, it's pretty much a bakery/gas station. They hav...

The Rockets will not finish within 10 points in any game against the Thunder. They've run out of gas. Not a bad result for the youngest team in the league. Bring on Josh Smith.

The correct answer is John Amaechi. John. Amaechi.

He's no Biggio.

Yeah, this seems like a no-brainer.

I'd probably have become a teacher. Good union, not terrible pay here in MD, good benefits, can find work in most other states, summers off (or work half days in the summer for good pay). Ultimately, I wouldn't mind teaching others to teach so I can make sure the shitty teachers my Max has run into...

THE ASTROS WON A SERIES, THE ASTROS WON A SERIES!!!

Finished that Traffic book that had been mentioned here a few times. Pretty interesting and eye-opening.

About halfway through The Passage. I hear the second book is awful, but I'm really enjoying this one. I did not read the flap so went into it nearly blind.

Giff

Rockets won thanks to a goaltending call at the buzzer on Jermaine O'Neal. First playoff berth since 2009. Not bad for the youngest team in the league.

How's mister d doing??

FX is developing a vampire show based on the The Strain trilogy.

Johnnie wrote:So wait, Californication finished up this week? Why was I able to get a hold of the final episode last week then?

I think Showtime makes episodes available on their website the week before.

Justified's finale was satisfying. Next season should see some pretty awesome Boyd/Winn Duffy scenes.

I hope he didn't inherit his dad's love of the booger sugar.

That show is getting funnier and funnier.

There was nothing quite so delightful as an Ebert review of a really bad movie. I think he got a perverse kick out of dreaming up new ways to say "this movie sucks". For example, from his review of the movie "North": "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this m...

You'd think at that point you'd just let him have the game off. Except wouldn't that completely undermine the point of BOTH parties? Rockets want him to be available. White says he can drive to games. Blah blah blah. Well, I thought the issue was him being able to take the bus when feasible. Doesn'...

How is the Royce White thing going? Outta site outta mind it seems. He's played well at times in the D-League and others he's played awful. He's such a unique talent that it will be a shame if he doesn't ever amount to anything. My favorite story of his so far is him taking that damn bus to Santa C...

Either the intro to Ants Marching or Sanford & Son theme song.

I think Fallon's show is hilarious...Thank You Notes is my favorite sketch. And as Johnnie mentioned, the house band is awesome. I'd figure this site would love him just for the musical guests.

Chris Carter's line for the series - 0 fer 11, 7ks. Good work!

AB!!! Thomas [sic] Jones, straight from D-League to a double-double! He was very close to two sure-fire SC top 10 plays on put backs. He's very good. I'm surprised he has spent all season in the d-league, and I was hoping when they dealt both morris and patterson that he would get more run, but I'm...

Louisville/Michigan earns me a cool $118 in a Sweet Sixteen pool.
