For What it's Worth

In no particular order

J. Stevens, whose name I will almost never mention here again- blew a .2 - Told you he was a stupid bitch.

I feel terrible for the Edwards family, but he should not run, not now. He's a young guy. John, stay home and take care of your wife and kids- they need you. And in 8 years, imagine the pickup lines. "Hi, I'm John, head of the free world, can I buy you a drink?"

I heard these guys on Howard Stern today, they were pretty good, and an interesting concept. If they came to town, I'd probably think about going to see them. The Fab Faux

A Little TV Wrap-Up
Lately, I've been really getting into watching Brothers and Sisters

I have TiVo'd every episode of Friday Night Lights but have only watched a few. Its a great show, and not really about sports. My ICE told me that people better watch it because it hasn't been renewed yet- so if you haven't seen it- give it a try.

Top Design, which I'm also watching on TiVo, so I could be quite a bit behind schedule finally got rid of that freaking annoying kid Michael. Finally I can watch the show.

VOTE SANJAYA Because it's funny.

Spring Break
Went to Spring Training last week with Mom, Pops, Bro and myICE. We had a great time. I sometimes forget how much I love to just watch baseball. I'm going to have to pursue my dream of visiting all of the minor league ballparks some day on vacation. I did completely lose my voice on the trip, which everyone was amused by, luckily myICE has a personality and is friendly and outgoing, she made it so that I wasn't a necessary bridge. She is amazing. (Mom, if you are reading this, I'm saying anything negative about you, you are amazing too- I'm just saying...)

Lately I've been feeling like if I was paid hourly, then I could start my retirement early.
As I write, its 7:30ish- myICE is watching Top Design reruns, and I'm waiting for a file to download so that I can check it out and send it to a press in California where 2 members of my team are anxiously awaiting its arrival so they can approve it on press. We don't usually work this way, but everyone in front of me has been late and now we're at the last minute. The bad news here- I've done something like this almost every night this week. The worse news. Its going to be like this until May. Worse than that... The guy who works for me that does files (J- you are amazing. I would be lost without you) the only other person in my company who does this particular function of my job will be taking maternity leave in late May. So make that Crazy for me until June. The crazier thing... He just bought a new house and is going to sell his current home and move himself, his 2 year old, and his 8 month pregnant wife by May 11. He's really busy- when I think I have it tough, I head down to Starbucks with him for the latest highlights. Suddenly my crazy schedule is a breeze.

Starting next month, when you walk into one of our branches, I will have touched every single printed piece you see. I think its time for my team to grow.

The Boyz
Doing great. D is taking names and kickin' ass on the soccer field. And making time for baseball as well. And on top of that, he's still managing to get good grades. I couldn't be more proud.

M Is a ROCKSTAR in the making. He's got the look, and digs it. He has personality to the 9's and he loves to entertain. He is like the boss, as some of you may have noticed. To entertain you he will give until there is nothing more to give and he collapses in a heap on the floor.

Movies
Casino Royale was a beast. If you haven't seen it, i suggest you do. Its different from all the other Bond movies. More cerebral, quiet. The first scene after the credits was amazing. After you watch it, watch it again and be wowed with the camera shots and how they managed it all. Even if you told me it was all animated or some ILM voodoo stuff I will still say its amazing. The cinematography should have won the Oscar for that one scene alone.

Can't wait for Blades of Steel. Although I imagine like all Will Farrell movies, its a bit better after a drink or two.

And with that- Gin Hahn,
