Not Sweet, Not Sixteen
So my Terps didn't do too well the other day. Against Butler. There were almost more kids in my high school than at Butler. How does such a thing happen? Oh wait, it was Maryland basketball. We can lose to the local CYO if the game counts. So sad.  Here's to UNC and bruised and battered Tyler Hansbrough representing for the ACC.Perhaps I can do better in MARCH GAYNESS. Likely not. Speaking of sports, I really have to say I despise the use of the modifier "Lady" when talking about women's teams. I was watching the local sports round-up of the Women's NCAA tourney and cringed each time I heard "Lady Colonials" or "Lady Terps." Something about it seems so diminutive and suggestive that these athletes aren't "real" whateveryourteamnameis but "Lady" whateveryourteamnameis. Those "Ladies" should get together and kick sportscaster ass. Labels: sports March 16, 2007
Icing on the Cake
Last night I celebrated the new job with a few drinks with a slew of good friends at Science Club where The Vodka Manx played some great tunes (Brazilian Girls live, mmm). I had a great time. I'm really excited about the future and am glad some friends could share in my happiness. Afterwards a group of us went to get a bite. As we enter Dakota Fanning Mary's Brokeback Titanburger, what should be on all the screens but the final moment of the VCU-Duke game. Poor Duke. But Dumbek said he'd never seen me so giggly. I'm suddenly reminded of one of my favorite screencaps of all time...  Labels: friends, schadenfreude, sports |
