How to Beat Teen Wolf, the Watchmen, CollegeHoops, Hoora... for the Raptors, Alela Diane
- I found out last week - or maybe someone just reminded me - that Kyle's BFF Misha wrote this hilarious piece on McSweeney's "Covering Teen Wolf: One Coach's Guide" which is really worth the 7 mins it'll take you to read it.
- Liz and I went to see the Watchmen. And, after reading Sepinwall's review - where he says that basically the movie was unmakeable, ie. it was too dense, too many themes/backstories to cover. I haven't read the comic, and I walked away from the movie kind of indifferent. The action sequences were pretty cool, I loved/thought the idea of an alternate reality with Nixon as President was hilarious, but it wasn't anything I'm going to discuss at length with anyone.
- Did anyone see any the end of the Ten-MissSt. SEC final on... Sunday? There were at least 5 turnovers and somehow .3 seconds were added to the clock. Exciting? Yes. Entertaining? Yes. But please don't make that argument that this is better than the NBA...
- Speaking of the NBA... how 'bout those RAP-tors? I think their game vs. the Pacers on Sunday is probably the first game I've watched - in its entirety - in a good couple of months. Love the addition of Pops Mensa-Bonsu (or any Spurs castoff, really)... I don't love that BC is going to pay him WAY too much in the off season, or that its not going to fix the fact that the Raps look they have no idea how they're going to beat teams... but, hey, its a nice lil' silver lining... Also, on a hilarious note: during Sunday's telecast I'm about 95% confident that Jack Armstrong picked the Lakers, Cavs, Celts, and Magic as his final four despite the fact that 3 of them play in the same conference... way to do your homework Jack.
- Alela Diane's To Be Still - particularly since Liz likes it also - has been playing a lot around here this weekend. So, it bears repeating, if you like Neko Case, Jenny Lewis, et.al., you really ought to have a listen to this album.

Alas--as happy as it would make him to hear that you think he wrote it--the Teen Wolf thing is not from Misha. It's from Pasha Malla (a friend from high school). It is, however, undeniably awesome.
And: not better basketball (it would be ridiculous to argue that), but more engaging from start to finish (see: your very next bullet point about how you haven't watched a Raps game from start to finish in quite some time. There's a reason for that.)
I suppose the name should've tipped me off... I didn't think Misha was the type of guy who would write under a pseudonym (not like myself).
I don't know that I think its more engaging, so much as watching the Raptors is depressing. That said, watching teams and fans that care so much is pretty exciting...
