the black swan has arrived my friends.  the nba salary structures were never designed to deal with players leaving for europe.  that day has arrived.  good job j-chill — you are truly a black swan.

caffeinated: omar really likes, but misuses, the term “black swan.”

Victory!

And now, on top of everything else, the Patriots are responsible for:

Eli Manning winning not just a Superbowl MVP, but a bunch of ESPYs. Eli’s acceptance speech for Best Play was pretty funny, though, so at least that’s good.

Seriously Though

unnamedplayer:

Batman was the best movie I’ve seen in a while.  Even when it felt long and drawn out, it was good… weird but true.  I won’t say more ‘til next week — don’t wanna ruin it for anyone.

caffeinated: for reals.  Batman ruled.  I wasn’t sure it was going to live up to the hype - at first, I was mostly indiffierent about this one, but by the week before it opened I was pretty stoked - but it managed to meet my high expectations.  And Omar is totally right about it being good even when it felt long and drawn out: there was at least one stretch where I thought, “oh, it’s probably over soon,” and when I realized I was wrong I was actually excited.  It was a treat that it kept going.

Ranking the movies I’ve seen recently, from best to worst:

  1. The Dark Knight
  2. Hancock
  3. Most of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix*
  4. 28 Weeks Later*
  5. The Break Up*
  6. Ironman#

* Watched on TV

God I can’t wait until college football season.

Even Omar’s inevitable reblog of this video with a comment about Big Game can’t ruin its awesomeness.

I did a 4-mile run (hung over, on little sleep, and out of shape) as part of Japan Day.  Good times.  Pretty good time.
