So...More Quick Hits

• This week in football: lost in the first round of Fantasy playoffs, but then again, real life Ravens won. Their defense looks great, and the offense isn't terrible. Here's to continuing the winning ways.
• The Arcade Fire aren't a very good band. The lead singer, live, sounds like someone squeezing an old Mickey Rooney to 4/4 time.
• Rounders is still a great movie, especially the role played by John Turturro. The exchange in the law library is classic: Jo - Knish, how are you doing? Knish - The same.
• The zero conundrum: seeing as how linear time, according to our gregorian calendar, measures time A.D. and B.C. (or B.C.E., or whatever terminology you decide to use). Is there a year zero? or is there simply a 1BC transitioning into 1AD?
• Of the radiohead inspired late 90's, early aught bands, which was your favorite? Coldplay, Travis, Kent, Muse, Keane, Sigur Ros, etc. I don't know...I held high hope for Travis...can't stand Coldplay after their last album...Sigur Ros is a mood specific band...Muse didn't do anything while Keane attempts to pop it up. I have no comment on the defunct Kent. So the winner? Super Furry Animals? National Skyline? The damned Vines? I have no clue...this is a ridiculous line of logic.
• Someone needs to make a Sugar Hill Gang alarm clock. An episode of Scrubs featured an alarm clock with a ring of Rapper's Delight. I wish it really existed.
• Final thought: Chuck Norris’ hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.
