Today was the second day of March Madness.
Day 1 = 13 out of 16. Not bad. I can live with it.
Day 2 = 8 out of 16. Awful. Here are the games I have missed so far:
- Miami (FL) over Saint Mary’s
- W. Kentucky over Drake
- San Diego over UConn
- Oklahoma over St. Joseph’s
- Siena over Vanderbilt
- Mississippi State over Oregon
- Arkansas over Indiana
- Villanova over Clemson
I’ve got some ground to make up in my pool, if I’m serious about winning any sort of money this year. The good thing is that it’s still early, so I don’t need to panic…yet.

Part of me thinks Isabella doesn’t really have any idea what she’s doing with her stacking rings, and the other part of me thinks she knows exactly what she’s doing. You decide!

Day 1 of the Road To The Final Four has ended, and I managed to pick 13 of the 16 games correctly. The 3 games I missed were:
- UNLV over Kent St.
- Kansas St. over USC
- West Virginia over Arizona
I need to stop not picking UNLV in the first round. I always seem to think they completely lack the talent they had back in the Larry Johnson days, but clearly I’m wrong. They have enough juice to get into the second round. I don’t think it matters much though, as Kansas should dominate them in the second round.
By the way, Belmont literally threw that game away…it would’ve been nice to see Duke take an early exit, ja?
Anyway, we’ll see how things are looking after tomorrow.

We’re two months into 2008, and I haven’t been overwhelmed by any new music released this year. So far, the highlights for me have been:
- Porcupine Tree — We Lost The Skyline
- Nine Inch Nails — Ghosts I-IV
- Jack Johnson — Sleep Through The Static
Not overly impressive. I suppose if I were a Mars Volta fan , I would feel differently with The Bedlam In Goliath having been released in January.
But, I feel change is on the horizon. Here’s what we can look forward to in upcoming months:
- Counting Crows — Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings [March 25]
- R.E.M. — Accelerate [April 1]
- Dream Theater — Greatest Hit (…and 21 other pretty cool songs) [April 1]
- Gnarls Barkley — The Odd Couple [April 8]
- Rush — Snakes & Arrows Live [April 8]
- Portishead — Third [April 15]
- Elbow — The Seldom Seen Kid [April 22]
- Flight Of The Conchords — Flight Of The Conchords [April 22]
- Death Cab For Cutie — Narrow Stairs [May 13]
- Coldplay — TBD [May/June]
Not to mention new releases from Dido, The Doves, Massive Attack, and so on and so forth. We may be off to a slow start in 2008, but it looks like things will turn around this spring. I can’t wait!
