Notes while trying to pass the time on a boring Sunday night:
- What is the point of King of the Hill? I know it was canceled, but does Fox really need to show the final episodes? Who is still watching this show?
- The rate at which we consume media these days is frightening.
- I'm looking forward to my fourth annual end of the year "best of the year" CD's. I need to pick up some more CD's to round it out and represent recent releases, but this year's could be the best yet.
- The Patriots can still make the playoffs. But it's not looking good.
- The Celtics are ready to repeat. And while Paul Pierce is still the C's best player, I think it's an open question now as to who the second best player is. That's not a knock on Kevin Garnett, but rather a nod to how well Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo have played so far. Tony Allen has played remarkably well in the sixth man role, subbing for Rondo, Ray, or Pierce, depending on who needs a spell.
- I think the only people who don't know that college football needs a playoff are the six commissioners from the six "BCS" conferences.
- What would I do without Slash Film, Baseball-Reference and Cot's Contracts?
- I wasn't surprised to find out that the "deals" during Black Friday were pretty much the most classic definition of the bait-n-switch. Unreal.
- Facebook is addictive.
- Sometimes I predict really stupid things, like when I predicted that Washington would notch the seven seed in the playoffs this year, or that the Giants would only go 8-8 this year. But for every stinker, I get one nugget in there, like predicting the Hawks to emerge and grab the 5 seed this year...ok, it's not a one to one ratio, but I'm not wrong all the time!
- Do I really have to wait another two months for Lost to come back? Come on...
- 24: Redemption did little to redeem 24's crappy sixth season, although the 7th season does seem to have a lot of good story lines. We'll see I guess.
- Why is there still no great hip-hop blog? Someone help me out here if you have any suggestions.
- I've got nothing.
