Early Summer Observations

We need rain here, badly. The flies are multiplying faster than rabbits on Viagra and my lawn is developing a jaundiced hue.

The NBA....sucks. Okay, there have been a few good games here and there as we come down the home stretch, but can anyone hit a shot? I was watching some old school 76'ers vs. Celtics recently and the game is almost unrecognizable compared to the crap we are subjected to for what seems like 8 months every year. Who's excited about a Cleveland vs. San Antonio final?

A friend pointed my towards State Radio this week. Awesome reggae/indie rock meets Billy Bragg band. Features former Dispatch member.

I bought The Departed about 3 months ago from my pain in the ass movie service after they sent it to me despite my returning the damn monthly card. I figured I'd keep it...Nicholson, Damon, DiCaprio, Wahlberg, Baldwin...great cast, so what the hell. So, it sat on my self for 3 months and I finally watched it this week. If you dig some violence mixed in with a cool twist on a classic mobster theme, you'll love it as much as I did.
