Poor Georgetown. Scoop is handling it well, though. Really.
I, on the other hand, am beside myself about USC. What the hell is that?!?
If you haven't yet, please do take a look at the beta blawg 2.0. Any and all feedback is appreciated. I understand there are still some display issues (stuff not lining up exactly, etc.), but I'm more interested in what folks think about colors, fonts, sizes, etc. Thanks!
Other than that, I don't know. Have you seen the Planet of the Apes site and trailer? It's sooooooooo cool.
Howabout AmIAllYourBaseOrNot.com? Two great tastes (Am I Hot or Not and ALL YOUR BASE etc.) that taste great together. My brother did one even: the guy with the fish. All Your Bass. Funny. Give him a 10 if you see it. Or else.
A'ight, den. Let's see if I can't get this new site launched for Monday. Wish me luck. ßßß
Sorry about the late blawg again. They've actually got me working over here.
The redesign really is imminent: You can take a look here as long as you promise not to use Netscape Navigator. 'Cuz it'll look totally screwed.
All right, your regularly scheduled programming has been preempted by a special Battle of the Beltway edition of Scoop Casey's News Roundup.
<The Beltway Brawl>
Forget about W. versus Gore. Forget the Ravens and the Redskins. Forget about the Wizards — oh, wait, everyone already did. This, mi amigos, is the real Battle of the Beltway.
I can't hardly wait.
Georgetown vs. Maryland. Two teams, two schools, separated by 12 miles, travel 3,000 miles to go to war.
What's at stake, you ask?
Plenty.
There's also this business of Beltway bragging rights. For various and sundry reasons these two teams rarely play each other, despite their relative proximity. Nonetheless, the rivalry runs deep in the veins of both programs. They last met in 1993, when Georgetown was the undisputed heavyweight of Beltway ball. Maryland, led by Joe Smith, upset the Hoyas in overtime, 84-83. The two teams haven't played since.
For Williams and his terrible Terrapins, it's a chance to banish the ghosts of Sweet 16s past. For Georgetown coach Craig Esherick and his (my) Hoyas, it's a chance to (re)gain national respect and put a beautiful stamp on a solid season. It's a chance to say, without argument: "We're back, baby." It's a chance to reclaim the Beltway as their own.
And gosh dernit if the braggin' wouldn't be fun, too.
Go Hoyas. ßßß
Yo. Yesterday's blawg was preempted by a rolling blackout, and today's was almost derailed by a severe case of food poisoning. I don't know what the hell I ate yesterday, but my gut sure didn't appreciate it. And the less said about that the better.
Is anyone else ready for the anti-IT/Ginger backlash to start? I know I am.
You'd think that after taking a day off, I'd have plenty to write about, but that just doesn't seem to be the case. I got a new blender the other day, and it's pretty cool.
Oh, yeah. Salon is moving to a subscription model — sortof. Looks like they're gonna do an Inside.com-style subscription, with some free stuff, and the good stuff will be gated for subscribers only. The good news is that they're only charging $30 a year. Which seems completely reasonable.
Everyone think good thoughts about me and my gastrointestinal tract today. ßßß
Summer arrived in the Bay Area today, a day before spring was even due. It must be 70 degrees out there. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
If there's a better 90 minutes of TV than the Sopranos and Jackass, I'd like to hear about it. Sopranos is just freakin' brilliant, and Jackass isn't. It's yin and yang.
My old man got nominated for yet another Daytime Emmy. He's a pimp. Good luck. We're all counting on you.
I'm still hosed in my office pool, but I'm outta the cellar — kinda like Ratt. Now I'm third to last, but I think I'm in good shape for the later rounds. St. Joe's gave Stanford about all they could handle, but the Pac-10 is well-represented in the Sweet 16. Sadly, Southern Cal beat B.C., so not only does that screw up my bracket, but now I get to look forward to my boss, an S.C. alum, lord that over me all week. Very poor indeed.
Memo to all men: Enclosed footwear is preferred. Like your opinions, your feet are best kept to yourself. And while wearing socks with your sandals helps, it also makes you look like a complete idiot. Just wear some freaking shoes. Is that too much to ask???
This thing is pretty funny — unless you happen to be a recently laid-off dot-com employee.
I'm preparing to redesign this here site, so I'm curious to know what people like and dislike about the layout. Is the white on blue tough to read? Should the type be bigger? Should I give it up altogether? Lemme know what y'all think. ßßß
Don't miss last week's brilliant insight.
