I haven’t updated inkless in a while, I know. I’ve been both busy and distracted. I’ll try to keep updating as the time continues, but no guarentees.
The only downers in my life: unemployment and the slow, agonizing fall of the Phoenix Suns. Tomorrow, Amare (or rather, Amar’e) is being put on the free-agent list and most likely going to leave Phoenix. Terry Porter is going to be cut and Nash is going to be the best point guard in the league surrounded by lackluster offense. I think the only awesomeness that could come from this trade is if Luol Deng goes to Phoenix. Hah!
This weekend was Valentine’s weekend plus Tobias’ birthday party, PLUS the All Star game. Had some breakfast in the city with the girlfriend and some friends on Sat. @ Mama’s in North Beach. Good stuff, great service. Highly recommended if you can bear the hour+ wait.
I also recently put together a desktop with a wolfdale processor and a mid-range graphics card. Technology really does become exponentially better as time progresses. The thing runs remarkably quiet, cool and fast. A few friends and I picked up a copy of Left 4 Dead. I have now lost a few hours of my weeknights to INCREDIBLE fun.
In other news, I have an interview with an economics consulting firm on Tuesday. Wish me luck!
That was a quick little update. More to come, hopefully.
UPDATE (2/18): Looks like Amar’e is staying a Phoenix Sun!
I really need to stop watching the NBA, it’s probably not too good for my ethics. This post is going to contain a lot of basketball terminology, just as a warning.
I’m an avid Suns fan, so even though what I say is a bit biased, I do think that the NBA is wrong in their decision making lately. The Suns came back from a seemingly unsurmountable deficit in Game 4 of the Western Semis to beat the Spurs 104-98. As impressive as that was, the final 18 seconds saw something even more incredible (in the negative sense).
Nash is taking the ball down court with the Suns up 3. He dodges one fall and sprints down the sidelines. Robert Horry, a veteran on the Spurs known for his consistent clutch shooting, is in front of him. I think he’s gonna do the very easy to do, normal, non-violent, grab the player kind of intentional foul. However, to my disgust, he hip-checks Nash into the statistics tables on the sideline. Here it is:
More after the jump.
