Tom is Away

that’s the first time I’ve seen a team give up before they even started playing a playoff game.

on the bright side, the bulls-celtics game was awesome.

watching the sixers

finally starting season 3 of Deadwood.

calm before the grading storm. Nothing to do for school until I collect everything on Monday.

if the sixers don’t win convincingly tonight, i’ll be pretty disappointed in them. Dalembert has to have his annual single good playoff game.

Maybe my new favorite thing on the Internet.

just scolded a student for the first time all semester. Not a bad semester.

As a bonus, now at least two people are frightened.

reason #232 why I enjoy taking the train into Philly:

On the way back to the train station, a cocaine dealer very loudly (and indignantly) scolded me for jaywalking.

trying to decide whether I want to watch the Sixers game in Philly or not.

76 cent beers at McGillin’s Old Ale House is kind of tempting, anyways.

Not 100% fulfilled? Try Quantum Jumping

tried driving to La Salle from Roxborough for the first time in 5 years. Got lost.

Not terribly lost, but still a little.

disappointing.

at mom’s waiting for some kind of insurance guy, then at La Salle for lunch.

Seen in a huge torso-sized font on the t-shirt of an obese student today:

GIVE ME
SOME CHICKEN
AND WAFFLES
FOR FREE

poll– which of these things that I nearly ran over today is more interesting?

a. Some dude in North Philly with the following: a homemade cast, a filthy shirt looking like he just left the coal mine, a boombox, baggy pants with no belt sagging so low that I saw the entirety of his leather bikini briefs

or

b. An adult turkey. Walking in the middle of Black Horse Pike in South Jersey.

I say turkey. I’ve seen crazy looking north philly dudes before. But a turkey? Come on.

Sheldon sounding more like the Sheldon I know

Sheldon Brown comments on the Ellis Hobbs trade:

“I think it’s great… I look at it as great news in terms of me being traded.”

I still think he’ll play hard if they keep him and he realizes his choice is to play or sit on the bench.

no matter what happens, the Eagles at least had a good draft for nicknames:

Shady McCoy
Macho Harris

Plus, they got a Samoan guy! (I think).

i do not support the eagles acquiring so many cornerbacks.

Jon Gruden on some NFL draft prospect (I forget who):

“I’ll tell you what, I can guarantee you one thing– this kid is going to be a football player.”

class prep, draft in background, too hot to dig summer clothes out of sweltering attic/loft thing.
