after last weekend's patriot's win at houston in overtime, tuna boy asked me if i had this magical feeling that the patriots just couldn't lose. he said he never felt that the patriots were in trouble even though they made some very costly mistakes and didn't wrap up it up until they were a minute or so away from a tie. i told him that i was not as confident as he was.
i can't wait to see what tuna boy has to say about today's game. the patriots blew a 21 pt second half lead in indianapolis. the colts (also 9-2 coming into today) had the ball on the patriots goal line trailing by 4 pts with less than a minute to play. i honestly thought the patriots were done. but they stopped the colts from gaining that 1 winning yard 4 times. i couldn't believe my eyes. what an incredible stand the patriots made to win this game. it would have been a devastating defeat to lose after having such a huge lead. i probably would have needed to add a new tv to my christmas list.
boy, oh boy. tuna boy.

race.ouch.oops.oh.
last night i started listening to the records that i bought on thursday. i thought i may have picked some good ones before listening to them but i wasn't exactly sure. you see, prior to thursday, every time i went vinyl hunting i had my trusty lovahhhhhh, kim, with me and she has a knack for picking the most amazing stuff (songs of the humpback whale represent!!). this was my first solo venture. marto was with me but shopping on his own.
anyway, i'm loving these records. robert redford taught me a lot about the wolf. the royal heirs album was all instrumentals which is fine with me because i can never have enough of those. the opening song on the strawberry shortcake album was pretty bouncy and funny ("one and one is fun/one and one is friends!"). the typing album had a copyright of 1960 and was still sealed. when i unwrapped it i felt like i had gone back in time or something. included with the album was a sheet that had the typing exercises written out so that one could practice without the album. there can be no denying that dorothy haydon is the master of home row. and i have never heard a man more excited to be talking about salesmanship than heartsill wilson. i had to slow the record down just to keep pace with him.
here's my dilemna, though. i have so many records filled with superstrange vocal snippets that i feel like i can't do them justice with my current turntable approach. i usually play a spoken word album on one turntable, an instrumental on the other, and record them simultaneously through my stereo. so i'm basically just adding weird vocals to an already existing song. sometimes i'll mess with the speed of the instrumental but that's about the extent of my manipulation. plus, having the results on a tape is not really optimal in the oh three. i guess i should mention that my current set-up makes it hard for me to scratch records without the needle jumping some (which never sounds good). my turntable table is not very sturdy, if you know what i'm saying. i've messed around with drews tables in vt and i've learned that i can actually scratch a bit which is encouraging. but i don't really get to practice much because we're only in vt for weekends at a time.
anyway, i have all these crazy records and the possibilites are endless but daunting. listening to the latest batch last night had me excited but also a little freaked out. i guess i'm just looking forward to getting settled wherever kim and i are going to live next and setting the tables up near the computer. then i could connect them to the computer and hopefully have a little more control over things. i'd probably need a sturdier turntable table though :)
whoa. that was long. i feel like i should end with my favorite 2003 albums. nope. passed.

visions of unicorns: weedstealer volume 2
remember the first time you read about the weedstealer? that was a long long time ago. how did you feel? was it not the most freshly amazing feeling your soul has ever sniffed? the states of mind that exist between here and there are vast and humid. if you had to choose between an electrical frying sock, a hyperdermic noodle, and sammy sosa, what would you choose? yesammyouright. remember when you lost your virginity to the weedstealer? you never wanted to forget how that moment felt in your loin. and now you won't with
weedstealer volume 2: remember volume 1?
"i love the shit out of this book. it's almost like reading weedstealer volume 1 in retrospect."

newg risham
in the newg risham
you will find
a lawyer or two.
close your eyes
and you might open them
to a lawyer's head
on your shoulder.
your sister's boyfriend
might find himself
in a jury box
in the newg risham.
world-changing verdicts
will fall upon guilty
and not guilty.
you will never see
a judge in the
same way again.
bluefish: do they organize?
ask a reporter
in the newg risham
and you just may find
the answer
you seek.
happiness is a dotted-line
but the newg risham
is solid.
miss it
and perish.

"well too bad acie's not in charge no more..."
acie earl is an effective scorer in the low post when playing against individuals of similar or smaller body dimensions. he is the all time leading shot blocker at iowa and has been the key to the tom davis full court press for the last 3 years. he is generally able to convert when he gets the ball in an effective position, but is wicked bad at creating. acie plays aight defense, but tends to rely on intimidating or blocking shots rather than aggressive inyoface defense. he has exceptionally soft hands for a dude. when motivated he is a very difficult player to defend with a single spatula. his game tends to look a little lazy, but that could be more a reflection on his love for pre-game marijuana than his heart.
