unless you’ve been living under a rock, or simply do not care about professional basketball, you are aware that the Seattle Supersonics‘ new owner upped and moved the team to oklahoma city.

you know, this sort of stuff happens now and then. as you can imagine it really sucks if you’re a local fan of the team.

me? I’m not affected by it, really. but what offends my sensibitilies is the new nickname and the team colors.

to me the logo looks and the name sounds like a team from the nbdl (the nba’s minor league). examples include the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Reno Bighorns, and the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. not to mention the Albuquerque Thunderbirds.

so not to be That Guy who just bitches about things in a blog and have nothing else to offer, here’s a list of my suggested teams names right off the cuff.

The Oklahoma City Obliterators
The Oklahoma City Oscilloscopes
The Oklahoma City Octopi

and my personal favorite:
The Oklahoma City Ombudsmen

there you go.

managed to completely fumble the US national anthem during the swimming medal ceremony tonight. the anthem started somewhere in the middle of the first verse, then seamlessly skipped back to the beginning, and then ended before the big crescendo at the end.

bravo.

hell motherfucking yes.

what’s next, jon & kate plus 8 on psp?

I hear people confusing the two all the time and it drives me absolutely fucking bonkers, to the point where I make a point to correct the person. I have become That Guy.

let me make it absolutely easy for you:

> direct flight means it’s probably gonna make a stop somewhere along the way.

> non-stop flight means exactly that: it’s not going to make a stop somewhere along the way.

there.

holy crap.

I walked out of cloverfield a half hour into it.

an entire feature length movie shot from the viewfinder of a guy running with a camcorder just isn’t cool.

in fact it’s the worst thing I’ve ever paid money to see in a theater.

…the end of december. and it sure as hell feels like the end of december too. brrrr.

so yeah, a few films I’m itching to see before the end of the year:

juno
I am legend

in that order but I think I’ll end up seeing I am legend first. I remember they were casting for the vampire mutants roles a while back, at first it was like “if you look like a freak, or are some sort of contortionist, please come to this audition” and then later it became “ok, if you wanna be in this movie then show up for this audition because we have to fill a huge cavernous shot with you lot.” I also remember they closed down washington square park for a weekend and had an entire row of burnt up cars lining a street north of the park.

so yeah. then january we got:

cloverfield
be kind rewind

though the last time I really looked forward to a michel gondry film I was largely disappointed. we’ll see how this one goes.

are you serious? will smith is going to direct a remake of the karate kid with his son playing daniel larusso?

kill me please.

final fantasy. what in theeee fuck? and it’s not an accident either, evidently the brains behind FF is a fan of the video game franchise.

COME ON!

though I am really liking these song of theirs/his right now.
