  1. Final day of HOH was today, and I was only there for a little bit because the last two days had me tired, but I saw my homies Ra Ra Riot and we talked for a bit and I helped sell t-shirts with them. I also caught Kool Keith and got crunk with Diplo. All in all, great weekend. All you other Northern Floridians (and fuck, with the all the camping space, Southern Floridians too) missed out.


  2. BSS canceled when Langerado went under, which sucked, but I'm not too upset because they were replaced by the Mountain Goats. "The Best Ever Death Metal Band Out of Denton" under the moonlight tonight was a fucking hell of a time. Hail Satan. Deerhunter ruled tonight too, and HEALTH. Oh, fuck, Tilly and the Wall too. I don't even like Tilly and they rocked the shit.


  3. First night of Harvest of Hope was tonight. Due to some confusion with getting a ride, I didn't actually get there until 8, and the show ended at 11, but holy fuck Girl Talk is one hell of a party. There was some girl dancing on stage that I think I may have fallen in love with. I brought my 8 year old sister because she gets in for free, but also gets a 3 day pass wristband, so I now have an extra wristband, and in the process she asked me to buy her a Girl Talk t-shirt. Highly irresponsible of me, but I have a very hip sister. She was furious at the PETA booth when they demanded that a booth giving away rabbits as prizes be shut down. How cool of her.

     

    Mountain Goats and HEALTH tomorrow. w00t.


  4. We read Gatsby over the summer and most of us enjoyed it. The Honors and Standard English students (I'm AP) are reading it now and they seem to like it pretty well too.

     

    I have kind of an odd list of books I read because I started high school in standard English, then moved to honors, then moved to AP, so I missed stuff like 1984 because that's what the higher classes were doing, but then now I'm missing The Scarlet Letter because that's what the lower classes are doing. I'd like to read some of the Orwell stuff. The Scarlett Letter sounds boring.


  5. Messrs. Durst and Klosterman both have worthless opinions about music, so I guess they cancel one another out.

     

    Klosterman is pretty funny though. I know everyone on this board hates him, (except for Kamala? I think Kamala likes him too) but he's at least good for a chuckle.


  6. Some interesting potential comebacks in this thing, too. Corey Koskie is going to be play for team Canada. For those who don't remember, he's been out of baseball for almost three years since suffering a freak concussion during a routine play while with the Brewers.

     

    Oh my god.

     

    I just realized Corey Hart and Corey Koskie aren't the same person.


  7. Is the O-Line still the problem for the Texans? What about Alex Mack? To put first round talents at the two most important line positions sounds like a winning strategy in the trenches.

     

    Hey, Agent, so you think Beanie Wells would slip to the Jets but they'd still take Knowshon Moreno? Is there some physical difference between the two that you think fits the Jets better?


  8. Clemens struggles are very closely related to him playing behind an offensive line that may or may not have actually existed. Our quarterback last year threw 19 interceptions, and yet losses only started to pile up when our secondary took a shit all over the Meadowlands.


  9. You'd think the Jets would scale back their free agency hunt, look at their team, and see that they don't have a quarterback. Apparently not.

     

    Pissing into the wind.

     

    I disagree with this for a few reasons. Number one, Rex Ryan has made it very clear he plans to run the ball a trillion times a game, and hit you in the fucking face on defense. Second of all, a lot of people in the Jets organization are really high on Brett Ratliff (and some even on Kellen Clemens). Third, if Kurt Warner goes to the Niners, I'd say it's a lock that either Stafford or Sanchez falls to them at 17, because it'd be really out of character for Scott Pioli to take a QB at #3, especially when a stud like Aaron Curry could be on the board. The Jets have made all the right moves so far.
