- are you ready for more football? (and some basketball?) -

This is looking to be a super (extended) sports weekend. A quick rundown:

1. Green Bay at Dallas (Thurs): Most Americans will miss out on what's perhaps the 2nd most highly-anticipated match-up of the season thus far because NFL, in its infinite wisdom, have decided to put it on the NFL Network. Ironically enough, any Canadian with basic cable will be able to watch the game on TSN. WTF? Unfortunately, I will not be able to take advantage of this special Canadian perk (and believe me, there aren't many) because I'll be on my way down to Seattle to catch...
   
   
2. Pacers at Sonics (Fri): ...which has become an annual tradition of sorts. Now, the Sonics are still winless at home (the only such team in the NBA if I'm not mistaken) and the Pacers have been pretty horrid for the past few years, but I'm excited just to see Kevin Durant in the flesh.
   
   
3. Oklahoma at Missouri (Sat): Yes, I now watch CFB too. Go Mizzou.
   
   
4. Ohio State at Butler (Sat): At Hinkle! OK, so I don't actually care about this game (unlike certain someone I know), but Butler are the Bulldogs and nothing is cuter than a bulldog. Except turtles.
   
   
5. Jacksonville at Indy (Sun): ...which I don't think is on TV on the west coast, but I'm sure Matt will make up for it by reading indystar.com all day long.

- this week's sign of the apocalypse -

Valleywag sort of touched on this a couple of weeks back, but today Google actually closed at $666. Coincidence? I think not.

- are you ready for some football? -

Top 10 reasons why I (am beginning to) love football:

1. To quote Jason, "it's the only sport where everyone has to work as a team to make anything happen." To quote Alan, "I agree."
   
   
2. Only a handful of games in a season, so every game matters.
   
   
3. Kick-off return for a touchdown = the most exciting play in sports.
   
   
4. Punt return for a touchdown = the 2nd most exciting play in sports.
   
   
5. Three words: Brett. Fav. Ruh.
   
   
6. The Manning Face.
   
   
7. The New and Improved Manning Face.
   
   
8. Colts games at the Nelsons (and the inevitable, collective heartbreak that follows).
   
   
9. Ducks games at Autzen (and the drive back along the Oregon Coast that follows).
   
   
10. Craphonso! (a.k.a. Best. Name. Ever!)

- 21st century digital boy -

To mark the end of the text-only era of Paranoid Humanoid, I give you my favorite song from 1990 (when 19 seemed oh-so-old).

- the aristocrats -

So, there is this video that's been going around on the Internets. I will not give you the name of said video since I don't want you to make the same mistake I made (i.e. look it up and watch it out of curiosity and be scarred for life), but I will tell you that it's quite possibly the most disgusting 60 seconds ever captured on video.

Also, I learned that I haven't yet lost my gag reflex.

Please send me Unicorn Chasers if you got any. Normally it would be Wonder Girls to the rescue, but frankly, I'm totally sick of that fucking song now.

- lost in translation -

Mom: When Paris Hilton came to Japan, apparently all she did was complain about how hot the weather was.

Me: Are you sure she wasn't just saying "that's hot!"?

- cool like dat -

I'm now blogging over at Schema Magazine (albeit infrequently) despite the fact that I'm neither "ethnic" nor "cool." (OK, I suppose I *am* ethnic, but I'm as white as they come, no?)

And if you're thinking "hey, this doesn't sound like something Hansol would write?" that's because my editor re-writes everything before she posts.
