Who you gonna believe, me, or your own lyin' eyes?
BCS. Arrrgh. BCS. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHH.
King Kaufman is rather more eloquent about it. Here's the key section:
Hawaii didn't lose to anybody, ever. The Warriors started the season ranked No. 23 in the Associated Press poll, No. 24 in the USA Today poll, went 12-0, and finished the season No. 10. They'll play Georgia in the Sugar Exhibition Game ( Read more... ) -

Movies seen this week
Monsoon Wedding -- A gorgeous film, with a wonderful mix of Hindi and English culture that describes the three days before an arranged marriage (and an unexpected lovematch) in Delhi. Although the narrative is almost hijacked by what seemed to be a secondary plot point, it still trucks along. Worth seeing because of the great music, unabashed ( Read more... ) -
Morning Coffee Roundup
Nidia (my wife's new approved pseudonym) and I are at her mom's house for Thanksgiving weekend. The whole tribe are unrepentant night owls so I am sitting with the cats doing my Sunday morning thing. As usual when I mix coffee with The Internets I get kinda philosophical ( Read more... ) -

Dude, it's been 23 weeks
That's, like almost HALF A YEAR.
Sorry. Kinda busy getting married and then experiencing that. Been thinking a lot, though. I'm going to start posting twice a week and build up from there. -
Knocked Up, The Queen
Knocked up really is as good as everyone says it is. Might perhaps be the most honest relationship movie I've seen all year. It's also DAMN funny, like, laugh just about every minute funny. Highly recommended ( Read more... ) -
Neocons in need of lovin'
You know, there are times when I wish that the kinds of articles I posted about recently could just be proven to be some kind of liberal paranoia.
But then the Wall Street Journal posts fascist love letters from tenured Harvard professors and you realize that we probably aren't being paranoid ENOUGH.
Glenn Greenwald deconstructs, excellently as ( Read more... )
