so, i've discovered over time that most of my bloggin friends don't update over the weekend. this isn't always true, of course. i even noticed that i tend not to blog much between friday afternoon and late sunday night (which is right now). so, here i am at the end of another weekend.
friday night several of us went and kareoke'd @ tokyo garden. i always enjoy this. really, i feel alive on the stage, singing some song. this time was sorta odd, as tokyo was full of a large birthday party. mostly people older than ourselves, and not regulars. if it was full of regulars, i wouldn't have felt a thing, but i was nervous performing in front of completely new people. so, i started w/mustang sally, in homage to wilson pickett. i did some other stuff, and had a good time. finally, i was really bummed that the machine glitched during ghostbusters. i really enjoyed clowning around with that song until the words disappeared. hmmm, maybe it was a ghost.
saturday, we watched four brothers and played some cards. good times, came out ahead.
today, watched the afc championship game and then off to church. i was sad to miss the seattle/carolina game, as it was the one i wanted to watch. congrats to pittsburg & seattle. of course, all sorts of people will be talking about how no one will watch the superbowl, numbers will be down, etc. shoot, i just don't understand that line of thought. most years, my team isn't in it. yet, i don't think i've ever missed the game.
later adam came over and we wathed the omen. decent movie. creepy at points, goofy at others. and, it affirmed my distrust of dogs. and hopping fences with big pointy spikes.
the other day, i was talking with someone about the west wing. today, i found this on la. times. answering our questions about the future of the show.
in other news, mamba scored 81, the rest of his team scored 41. they won, and it's not surprising that mamba continues to pour in points with little production by the rest of his team. i am a little surprised that they're third in their division. really, it can't be good to have a guy on your team that rarely passes, that always looks for his shot and then takes it, that doesn't do anything to make his teammates better. sure, he scores a lot, and will shoulder the responsibility, but the last two championships were won be teams that complemented one another.
finally, one of my favorite writers was wrong yet again about carolina.

Marc Stein made an interesting point about Kobe last night when he said that we should just enjoy Kobe's point scoring. He also mentioned a young MJ was the same way because the Bulls were such a weak team that he had to carry them. I agree with you that the last two champs have been very team oriented but there is not much for Kobe to do with this year's team. Personally, I don't blame Kobe. Just look at what his team did against the Kings last week. The Lakers should have won that game yet it seemed like everyone but Kobe was trying to let the Kings win.
I'm a Rams fan also, have a good friend who coaches DB's for them, Gill Byrd. I thought they made a good choice with Linehan, Martz had to go, great coordinator, terrible coach.
