St. Patty's Day

Wow. Could anyone have come up with a better drinking combination than St. Patty's day + Opening Day of the NCAA Men's Tournament + first 60-degree weather of the year in NYC? It could spell disaster for quite a few people, but not me! I am sitting in an office trying to watch the games on my computer, yay! It's probably for the best since I went to Chicago for St. Patty's and was pretty much incapacitated by 8pm after cleaning up other people's unfinished Irish Car Bombs. Gross.

It feels great to have the Heels back in the tournament and at a #2 seed at that! I could make out with Kendall Marshall right now, and no, Kendall is not a girl despite the ambiguity of the name. He's the 2nd coming of Ed Cota except he's got lighter skin and he already has a jump shot as a freshman. God bless him. I obviously picked them to win the championship in all of my gambling situations since I am a homer but I'm not sure that they have the chops this year. I just hope that if they lose, they do it soon so I don't have to stress out about a potential Duke-UNC National Semifinal game.

The Game of Thrones TV show is coming out in a month and they announced a release date for GRRM's fifth book in his series! Exciting times for SciFi nerds everywhere. Season two of V was surprisingly entertaining even though some of the stuff that happens make no sense at all. I'm not even going to come up with examples because I am pretty sure that I am the only person that watches that show. There's not much else on TV that's been that great - Archer Season two has been pretty disappointing although it's still better than most anything else out there. Get into it if you already haven't.

You can throw Derrick Rose onto my list of NBA man-crushes along with Kevin Durant and Steph Curry. I watched him play in person and he is an athletic force of nature. I can't wait for that team to play lock-down defense and ride Rose to the finals. KD, however, has his work cut out for him in the West although I do believe they can do some damage to the Lakers with that front line now that they have Kendrick Perkins.

I'm doing some domestic jetsetting to locales I've never been to before such as Newport Beach and Ann Arbor so hopefully will have some good things to say
