Some of my desire is a response to very unnecessary and
+ Sign that I'm both looking sharp and living smart: went to Circuit City today and made a bee line to the HDTVs. I have my eye on two 32" models. Anyway, after making it pretty obvious that I was interested in one or two tvs - even going as far as asking one of the store associates a question related to the sets - I couldn't get any of the sharky salespeople to wait on me. I guess they thought I was too young and couldn't afford them. Ha! Ohs well, maybe I'll have to take a roadtrip to Reading Best Buy tomorrow.
+ Congrats to Serena Williams on her hard-fought victory today. I watched part of the match and a good deal of the crowd was against her...in Miami...against some Henin euro. Good grief! I've always liked Serena. She (and her sister) catch a lot of guff on the tour from fans and players for a lot of crappy reasons (black, hetero, dominant, outspoken father). I like when she wins, so she can stick it to all the people that were against her for stupid reasons.
+ Flood and I were just talking last night about the basketball recruiting enigma that is Herb Pope. Then this morning Flood sends me an email with a link saying Pope was shot last night. Hope he's feeling better soon. Reggie Theus is certainly saying a prayer. [via Flood]

are these annoying comments coming from the other person in our $0 pool? i'm curious to hear some of the comments that were made.
i listened to the beginning of "muscle and flow" but i had the volume down so low on my computer it really wasn't an actual "listen." the bit that i heard, i liked though.
Bingo!
Okay, I was going out to LNT, grocery store and Circuit City. He goes, "Basketball starts around 6:30, so make sure you get your @$$ back by then!" Who cares? And that's annoying.
Another one, we assembled for dinner (I was on the computer). It's halftime of Gtown/OSU. He says, "Low scoring game, huh, Todd?' I was like, "What's the score? I'm on the computer." Then he's like, "Oh he's so nervous about Georgetown, he can't stand to watch the game!" First, although I picked Gtown and they are/were my favorite team out of the Final Four, my life does not depend on the game. It's not like Cincinnati (Huggins era) is playing. It's not that big of a deal. Jeez!
Those are two instances. We all watched the games together, from the second half of OSU/Gtown on. It was just sort of annoying getting a question or comment every minute or 30 seconds of each game.
I envied you.
