urgh
i think i reached a point of existential despair while watching the pistons tonight.
on the other hand, while i was driving home after school today classic rock 102.9 MGK played a track off of live bullet during the 5:00 attitude adjustment. 'katmandu'--there seems to me to be an allusion to shakespeare in it. any guesses?
'you've been through all of f. scott fitzgerald's books; you're very well read, it's well known'.
that's what the other bob just said on the stereo.
almost time for seinfeld.
love and cookies.
UPDATE: not that the heat needed much extra help to win last night, but i think they definitely got it from the officials. the always-verbose rasheed wallace had this to say, supported by larry brown:
i think they're right; the officiating was dismal last night, though i don't know if the outcome would have been different had the officiating been. at any rate, it means damon jones should stop his whining, especially since he says he's not crying about the officiating while he's, well, crying about the officating:

"You had to see that. It was just so blatant," Wallace said of the officiating. "I am going to find out who knows about basketball by reading your stories and seeing your reports tomorrow.
"We are going to win Game 6 because there will be good people out there reffing. They (the NBA) want a Game 7 'cause there's no other series. Y'all can't see that, then you're crazy."
Brown, who picked up a technical foul, stuck up for Wallace.
"He didn't get to play," Brown said. "I mean, three offensive fouls, that's tough. I don't know how he could've played in a game like that. He fouls out in 22 minutes in Game 4 and he's got five fouls tonight -- it's hard."

Perhaps the officials overheard Damon Jones mini-rant after the Heat shootaround Thursday.
Jones, discussing the Pistons' defense particularly on Dwyane Wade, felt the officials might have forgotten some of the new rules emphasis.
"Everyone says they (Pistons) are a great defensive team, which they are," Jones said. "But there were rules changes put in at the start of the year that don't allow the defender to impede the offensive man's progress. And just watching the game over and over again, they're doing some impeding of his progress.
"Is that being called? Am I am sitting here, crying about officiating? Never. But at some point in time, something is going to have to be done about that. Because he's been aggressive all year long, all playoff long, and him not getting to free throw line as frequent as he's done all year is a problem."
Note to Jones: Wade shot 10 free throws in Game 4. He has shot 40 free throws in the four games. He shot eight free throws in 27 minutes Thursday.
The referees are blowing the whistle, thank you.
