Damn-age
Not much of an update -- just some recent screen caps:
Some Yahoo! Sports employee having a little fun (maybe a King's fan)
Multiple solutions left to the constraint solver (me) -- oops!
As you can see from these screen-caps, I've been taking a break (spring break) after submitting my first paper. Yay (hope it's accepted)!
Other than fantasy bball and minesweeper, I've been reading To Live by Yu Hua. It's about life in China around the Cultural Revolution. It's not as strange as The Past and the Punishments, but it's a tear-jerker. The writing is simple, and just seems to flow; there are no chapter breaks, which is the total opposite of The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. With chapters, there are obvious spots for the author to leave cliffhangers. Without chapters... it seems like the author is obligated to maintain your interest all the time (generalizing here, obviously). Ultimately, this is also true of The Da Vinci Code as each chapter is about 3 pages long.
Finally, I've been catching up on One Piece (thanks crunchyroll.com). Definitely my favorite anime/manga. This may be a bit of a stretch, but I think it's like a modern Water Margin (aka Outlaws of the Marsh -- the novel that inspired Suikoden). Come on,

Bad Games?
What's more painful to watch?
- D-Wade shoots 23 free throws with a total of 99 free throws between the two teams. As a side note, I can't wait till Corey Maggette is traded to the Spurs, and the Spurs (w/ Ginobli and Maggette) play against the Heat (with Wade and Shaq). Bucket-fulls of free throws ensue.
- A blowout such as this one (but it's "your" team that won).
- Sacramento loses five in a row during their home-stretch, where 3 games went to overtime. My mom went to Arco Arena to watch the latest OT loss (to Houston), and Yao Ming didn't even play because of injury. EDIT: My mom ended up not going, but the losing streak is now 6.
