just watch the movie or don’t and shut the fuck up

Ah, Joe Morgan! It’s you.

You really want to dig your heels in on this one? Truly retarded.

New Pornographers are still kickin’, although they’re mostly on the sunny-day dad-rock festival circuit now. Heard an NPR interview with their singers and they described songwriting as “hard work,” which I laughed at.

PER is a shitty statistic and basically tells you who takes the highest number of shots on your team.

I would suck on that leg until my jaw fell off. All about women who can squat more than me.

Top players in MP:

Oh, was that Carmelo who took them there? Seems like he took the Knicks to the playoffs, too. Of course, only when Tyson Chandler was on the team. But yeah, whatever: it was Carmelo who did that.

How is he worth max dollars? Finding a player who can give you .522 TS% is not that hard and you don’t have to spend $25M a year to get it.

I know you think you know what it’s like to lose, but have you ever lost in front of 100,000,000 people? Have you ever lost a game where coming in 2nd place is basically equal to coming in 30th?

Not only a max deal, but a mega-max deal with a fucking no-trade clause. As far as I know, only two players have NTC: Kobe (also a putrid contract, although he’s probably making the Lakers a crazy amount of money this year) and Carmelo Fucking Anthony.

Carmelo Anthony is not and has never been a max-level player. He is, however, very good at taking the highest number of FGA per minute on his team.

Simms vs. vuvuzela: who’s more annoying?

I sat between two guys in a touring rap-country band and they were passing chord charts back and forth over me for half the trip. If I weren’t sure that at least one of them was carrying a switchblade, I would have said something.

Twitter fishing

I commend you both. I have a friend commuting from New Haven to Stamford everyday and that alone sounds hellish. Can’t imagine making it all the way to GCT and then getting on a subway for another twenty minutes.

The people I know from NYC live in those places and commute a few times a week, working remotely otherwise. Kingston has become packed with creative types who acquire a project through NYC networking and then spend all day in the hip coffee shop (singular) uptown on said project.

Vanguard Roth IRA. Max it out.

One of the weirdest things about living in NYC is the prospect that you will live there from age 22 through age 35 (before you get married and move to Rhinebeck, Beacon, Hudson or Kingston) and have almost no savings — or better yet, mountains of debt — to show for it.
