Junk Drawer May 17th

by 92wastheyear on May 17, 2009 10:45 AM PDT Comment 239 comments

It is a nice sunny Sunday morning, I was able to sleep in, I have a nice cup of coffee and some toast. It really couldn't be more pleasant of a morning. Naturally my mind turned to those special people in my life........ and how they drive me abolutely crazy. I have been married now for 13 years to my lovely wife and over that time she has demonstrated many moments of grace and love. She has also built a growing list of things she does that set my teeth on edge. For instance, when ever we go grocery shopping and then return home with a giant car load of goods (requiring multiple trips from the car to the house), she will grab a handful of stuff and take it into the house (as will I) and then start putting stuff away and leave me to walk back and forth to car 7 more times (usually in the rain). On weekends, she feels guilty if she doesn't work harder on house work than she does at her regular job and gets pissed if I don't feel the same way. When she pours herself a glass of milk, she always stops drinking it when there are 2 inches left in the glass.....regardless of how full the glass was to begin with. When she cooks in the kitchen (where else), she doesn't clean up as she goes and she puts all the dishes in the sink with the disposal along with the scrap food which requires me to move all the dishes to the other sink just so I can clean off the plates and run the disposal.

So the question to all of you with a significant other that you have been with for a long time.....it this normal (I suspect it is) and what kind of things do they do that bug you?

It's tough finding a date

I have 2 guy friends, 1 girl friend, and a couple I can ask. I’m at that age where I can’t ask any of my homies with kids, and they have to have enough money to waste on a weekend in Vegas. One of the guy friends caught a flight to Japan today for a two week trip of Asia. He’s a Boston fan and said he’ll have to make a decision when he gets back. I think he’s a no. I think I’ll just get my room and flight and worry about my date later.

TiH: How's the weather in Hawaii today?

Here in Reno, it’s already crystal clear and 78….yesterday was stunning: Went up for a 4 hour hike with the wife and mutt around the Tahoe rim trail. Saw a bear—amazing. Finished about noon before it got too hot. Reno is kind of an armpit, but less than 30 minutes to Tahoe…

A lot of open ends apparently were meant to be continued in a series as it was originally planned to be a TV pilot

And films constructed with several side plots in vignettes are generally hard to understand violating conventional film or book form that viewers are used to. But even when watching it again a lot is completely open to your interpretation and never seems to come together in a way that makes sense. I remember I watched that movie in the cinema with one of the most intelligent people I know who has read and watched far more than I have, and we both couldn’t decipher it out of itself.

I e.g. also didn’t like Southland Tales, because parts of that movie were outsourced into comic books that the director also wanted you to read. And the script and editing was highly confusing.

I've always felt Lynch is better when he's forced to limit himself

I thought what made Twin Peaks great is that he had to work within the guidelines for network TV. It prevented his penchant for graphic violence and the like.

And it make it that much more striking when he did get away with it.

That's a good point.

How about Memento?

Weird or just discombobulated? I like it, but it’s a definite two-viewings-minimum. My wife still doesn’t really get it, but english is not her first language, so that doesn’t help. I am not going to force her to watch it again.

Personally, I enjoyed Memento

Sure, it was a gimmick, but it was written effectively. It was less of a twist, and more of a revelation when you realize who the villain is (I’ll keep it spoiler-free).

I haven’t watched it in a while though, so I can’t speak about its rewatchability.

with yao, then they should’ve been able to beat L* at home at the very least. I think what is getting forgotten is that houston probably wins this series with a healthy yao and that they were much better then expected coming into the playoffs. all that makes me very proud of the effort the blazers put into their first series in a terrible match up

You think LA is as lazy against Portland?

I think playing the Blazers would have energized LA’s supporting cast. It probably would have been 7 games, but the games would not have been so uneven, more like 1-2 blowouts and the rest tight games.

That Steve Nash is exactly the same as Kirk Hinrich, but worse.

We’re getting Bullocks in our area these days too, but they don’t seem that brilliant. Maybe it’s the clear light you have in AZ, or maybe the birds are actually brighter due to something they eat, etc.

Cleveland has two nice ones with Z and Wallace who actually can help an acquiring team still a bit

If Cleveland is shrewd, they might re-sign LeBron this offseason and then move one or both of those for a guy like Bosh or Amare. Then completely avoid the 2010 free agent brouhaha. NY and a few other teams would be screwed with their cap plans, or at least have vastly reduced options. I could both see happening, a ton of free agents in 2010 and 2011 hoping to get a good deal before the CBA ends (though the next one will likely reduce guaranteed contracts for sub-par and average players but not for top stars). Or a lot of them just signing another deal with their old team (like we hope/are pretty sure for Roy and LMA, and certainly fans of the Cavs and Heat hope).

they had a nice contract this year too with wally world

and they didn’t move it although ur right the market should be nicer for next year. That kind of deal i just don’t think happens it falls into the makes too much sense to happen category, and i think a lot of these teams with superstars becoming free agents are still going to hold onto them thinking they will stay for some reason.

he has a ways to go to be a good NBA player, but the foundation is there.

The Clippers and Blazers were among several teams in Reseda, Calif., on Monday watching a workout with Nick Calathes, Jrue Holiday, Earl Clark and Jon Brockman.

Stern would hate it.

I am offended at you peoples implication that the outcome of National Basketball Association games

can somehow be affected by Mr. Stern. Or his staff.

I like the whole team.

So I'm watching Sports Science tonight...

One of their segments is about using the crossover/fake in basketball to get around a defender.

First things first, when they showed NBA highlights of a fake, their first clip was of Brandon Roy owning some poor guy.

But when they had an “NBA star” in person to go through their science stuff, who did they get?

Stephon Marbury. I thought they’d get someone skilled for this purpose.

Funny note: Stephon actually has a Marbury jersey created. It’s basically a Knicks home jersey, but with the word Marbury on the front, instead of the word “Knicks”. It looked like a guy who’s living on memories.

Funnier note: I just rewound the PVR while typing and checked: The poor guy that Brandon drove around was Ron Artest.

Marbury has a pretty sick crossover

The few times I saw him play since his departure from the Knicks

he looked a lot more human. Did he show signs of life with the Celtics? I didn’t see every game.

not really

had one good game in the playoffs. I think we know it wasn’t his crossover that was holding him back though.

There's a Harrison Ford movie being filmed in Portland

About a month ago they shot some scenes around the corner from my house so I hung out and watched for a while. He looked younger than I expected. Must’ve had work done.

Good lord. It ate my comment.
