We're still playin', baby!

The machine is working just fine, thank you very much! Ellis and Harington were off tonight, but hell, Pietrus and Barnes picked up and the team just kept the pressure on. Nellie was dishing defenisve plays masterfully. During the post-game interviews, even the Mavs admitted to getting rattled with Golden State's arsenal of zone and swarm plays.

The media is still in shock (and you know it, still saving some for the Mavs to come back). But now they can't do anything about it. The Warriors are playing hard, playing defense, attacking inside and outside....its the playoffs, they're winning. They can't escape it. They have to talk about the Warriors and suck it up!

Game 3 Revenge!

Each Warrior playoff game has really been a time capsule in itself. There are no wild declarations of championship goals, just happy to still be around and playing each game as if it was the last....and I think that is just plain awesome. At the end of last night's game, there was confetti all over like we'd just won it all!

The Warriors devoured the Mavs. The Addams Family slogan is repeating in my head: "we gladly feast on those who subdue us".

It's just game 3, but indeed, we savor each victory.

HA! Warriors win game 1!

"A shocker!"

"These pesky Warriors..."

I love it. Watching ESPN and listening to the tone in the newscasters' voices as they have to read their teleprompters and declare the Warriors winners of game 1. You really have to give the guys credit. They kept it close and kept themselves focused despite everything Dallas threw at 'em. So many heroes in this game, but I'm really impressed at Matt Barnes. Other than the mohawk (yeah, I know, the photo's a stock one :) ), he really made his presence felt...defense, rebounding, long range shooting, assists....all within the limited time off the bench...very commendable.

Sweet :)

Warriors make the playoffs!!!

Sweeeeet!!! Man, I am sooo proud of these guys. A lot of credit really goes to Chris Mullin for working on the lineup until he finally got the right mix of guys. The Warriors look like the underdog waiting to breakout.

Woohoo!!!

Grindhouse

Of the two films, I enjoyed Planet Terror more. Rose Magowan's Cherry Darling rocks and I thought Marley Shelton's Dr. Dakota Block and her "injection-gun" was really original. And man...trucks, trucks, trucks! Aww it was great to hear all the truck engines and watch all the heavy metal charging through all the zombies! The dialogue was just right (comapred to Death Proof's dragging conversations).

The filler trailers were fun and worth all the laughs and cheesy concepts. Danny Trejo's Machete could probably be done as a whole movie (Grindhouse 2?) in itself. Another nice treat were all the silly animations.

Death Proof as a whole had a good story but too much dialogue. But it did have clear winners: Kurt Russell, classic american muscle cars (love the sound of those big block engines), and Vanessa Ferlito :) All of Kurt Russel's dialogue were great. For some reason, I was very annoyed at all the black woman langauge....honestly, I don't think anyone else could say those lines...not unless their name happened to be Jackie Brown.

Ran for Miles

Well I got myself a new day

And I got myself a second chance

So I headed to the bus stop

And the sun, the sun was warm on my back
Today I ran for miles

Just to see what I was made of
Today I ran for all that was mine
Well I got myself a song inside

And I got myself some full blown daylight

Wanna tell you just how hard it's been

Trying to talk myself out of jumping
Today I ran for miles

Just to see what I was made of
Today I ran for all that was mine
Today I ran for miles

Utopia

Assimilation: Complete

In constant brainwashing of the Felt Mountain album, I am hopelessly hooked 'till the end. While this outstanding album already contains Lovely Head and Pilots, the unsung hero for me is Utopia.

Current state: Junkie ;)
