oof. not what i expected from the thunder last night... looking forward to going to game 6 friday night, though - it's gonna be crazy!

we really like Maynor here. he's a solid backup and very steady for a rookie. i have faith in him running the show when he's in there... we'd gone through many other backup pg's (Earl Watson, Chucky Atkins, Shaun Livingston) before we got him in the Utah trade and can definitely see him in a Thunder uni for a while... his little floater in the lane is sweet...

i'm a season-ticket holder, so i have faith since they have my money!

GO THUNDER!

got this Specialized Sirrus Elite last summer and put around 700 miles on it, looking for more this year since i'll have a full spring/summer/fall to put the miles on... love it... so light and fast! mine came with pedals, unlike the pic below ;–)

good to see jon spencer blues explosion doing something again.

all this. we had to get earplugs our pup's crying was so awful and loud... and on top of the crying and screaming, she pooped all in her crate the first few nights, making for a pleasant morning when we got up! but after about a week it was all good. and get earplugs.

has anyone had any experience with software to convert vinyl to mp3's on a mac? i've found some (audacity, golden records) but they look a little complicated for my tiny, technologically-challenged brain...

i am on the fence myself of whether he should have been fired or not, but i figured with the Josh Hamilton drama surrounding the Rangers last year that he would've been let go... apparently he offered to resign, but the Rangers didn't take it...

Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington used cocaine last year, got caught, and still has a job... http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/mlb/news/story?id=5003261

yeah, no doubt!

you could be on to something...

i think... why did i see Heart instead of Dire Straits that night back in '85?

Low Anthem were great the other night in OKC... never heard them before, didn't know what to expect, but i'm a new fan now... interesting to see them switch off instruments about every song - very talented...

can't believe it's been 25 years since i saw them... what a great show they put on...

about a year ago i got a refund from an AC/DC show in Tulsa that went on as planned... there was an ice storm which made traveling up the turnpike nearly impossible. the show was sold out, and was nearly full, but apparently there were enough inquiries to the venue/promoter about refunds from people who couldn't make it to the show that refunds for unused tickets were given out. fees and everything. this was a tickets.com ticketed show...

not sure if they've straightened out their differences, but they probably wouldn't mingle before or after the shows anyway... i'd bet the main reason they're doing it is they're all probably getting a pretty hefty paycheck for these shows...
