Last night's loss hurt. The Wolves are 2 games back for the 8th playoff slot and had a chance to cut it to a game behind Denver because they lost. I listened to bits and pieces of the game on the radio last night and things seems alright. Ridnour had 13 assists and 4 turnovers, but those 4 turnovers seemed to come at really bad times. JJ Barea seemed to have a bad game with 5 turnover. Paul Millsap had 8 steals and they all seemed like at the end of the game and overtime. Blarg.
Hopefully Kevin Love can go tonight, he hurt his thumb late in the game and had X-rays afterward. As of this writing, it seems like he is ok but the whole Twin Cities sports landscape has been snakebitten with injuries, one just never knows...a simple tweak turns out to be a broken everything it seems like.
Luke Ridnour has notched 32 assists to 11 turnovers since replacing Rubio.
I sure have been scarce around here, eh?
I had given up on following through the TWolves gamelogs weeks ago, but now I'm backlogged on Cups of Coffee.
I haven't watch NBB's music video week and I've probably written less than ten LTEs for the week.
Well, I'm still alive! Just busy. Baby and Work, mostly.
I'll put a random ten here later... but you should share yours first.
Corey Hart came in again last night, this time with his kids, and they played a home run derby on MLB: The Show on one of our displays. Without hesitation he picked Michael Young to hit with. I really, really wanted to ask why.
NBBW and I saw Fher and the lads at a concert at Foxwoods a couple years back.
It was an Hispanic, not a Mexican concert. There were numerous Latino country flags being waved in the audience. So, there'd be like: Viva Panama!! (and the Panamanians would all shout), etc.

I actually got some good news the day before the Ides of March, as the director for The Apocrypha called and said things were very, very close; distribution is guaranteed and a five-year(!!!) deal has been okayed. A second group has stepped in to pay for it if the first can't. He thinks we'll be shooting in May. As always, I'm gonna say this won't happen, but we sure are close.
