My oh my, what a basketball game. Alas, Cincinnati forgot how to get the ball through the net in the end. Every single time the ball hit the rim there was an all out battle for the rebound. I think I got bruises just watching.
No, Cincinnati kept letting Jihad Muhammad have the ball at the end -- in the last 3 minutes he attempted something like 8-10 shots, and I don't think he made any of them. He was completely hogging the ball, and should have started passing it when it was obvious that he wasn't getting any of them in. I won't say he cost Cincinnati the game, because it's a team sport, but DAMN. Leaving Muhammad in was a really stupid move on Coach Huggins' part. I'm actually surprised it was *only* a 9-point game.
And, yeah -- it was a very rough-and-tumble game. That's par for the course with Cincinnati basketball. Buncha thugs. (I'm not actually a Cincinnati fan -- I think they're a bunch of junior-college criminals who don't graduate -- though I live right in the University area.)
I haven't had time to watch any of March Madness, but I'm so happy that Duke progressed. I'm a hoping that during the quarterfinals that they face up with UNC and then CRUSH THEM.
Ahem.
Happiness is loading entirely different music into my new mini mac. It's a perfect repository for Sinead and Tracy Chapman and Green Day.
Here are the things that come up with when you try to threadsuck-n-search after a long hiatus, and your name is Gus:

ting. This one provokes self image issues. Nothing, however, that the residuals from a
Prozac Nation
book and movie could not assauge.
Gus, can' t you specific to search only for whole words with Gus? I do that for kat since we have at least four folks with kat in some part of their name.
gus should look for the proper phrases like...
Gus is foamy
or
We miss Gus
or
Where is Gus now
Part of the problem is that it can't search on words of 4 letters or less. You need a longer name, Gus. Maybe we should start calling you Guss.
Kat: I could, now that you point it out. I will miss the AnGUS quotes, though. That boy should post directly into COMM.
Around Casa Gus:
Not everyone is cut out for the rural life. The Goilfriend is getting a lot of work and sex accomplished, but I am suspecting that she is beginning to miss the urban buzz. Seoul and Bern are both very urban and urbane places.
She may be the only Korean person in the county. Even I can tell that she is getting a lot more of those "DIFFERENT PERSON!" looks than are comfortable.
Being the County Resident Different Person helps with that particular sensititivity.

Sucks, Gus. You guys need to move down to the Mad City. We're not Bern or Seoul, but at least we vote Democrat.
OK, Sail Aweigh, let's swap. You can come live at the farmhouse and me and the GF will come live in your Mad City bohemian loft.
