Buzzed and confused.

Today? 100 degrees. Tomorrow? 100 degrees. Day after? Forecasts predict temperatures topping 100 degrees.
Good thing the AC burns more gas. Good thing gas is topping $3 per gallon out here. Good thing I drive an SUV. Good thing I live 15 miles from work. Good thing I make crap money.
I think tomorrow I'm driving to work, parking, rolling up the windows, and just sitting there. The heat should finish me off in about seven minutes ... and we're talking 9 in the morning. Christ.
...
Watching Steve Nash at the press podium every night... was he an extra in Dazed and Confused? I'd happily put money on the table for that wager, just to see what happens.
...
Yes, the Lakers choked and blew three games in a row, after a 3-1 lead on the Suns. You do not have to email me this. I did happen to catch something on it, thank you.
While we're talking hoops, tonight I met yet another Spurs convert, who abandoned her hometown team to pull for San Antonio because, quote, "I like the way they play."
Fuck, people! Well I enjoy the Pistons' team ball. I can even appreciate Nash's style as he breaks down the defense every trip up the court by switching off the pick, combined with the Suns' run-and-gun offense. Shit, I'm even impressed with the way God's Country's other team, the Clippers, are executing. But it doesn't mean you renounce lifelong, birthright allegiances! What happens when Duncan, Giniobli and Parker get traded in their golden years and eventually retire? Do you leapfrog to the next team that plays "fun" basketball? Christ, these so-called Spurs fans give me a coronary. Unless you can show me a birth certificate that lists a San Antonio-area hospital, just don't go there. If you prick me, do I not bleed royal Purple and Gold?
...
Tonight I whored myself out for a red-headed slut and two beers. Sadly, those are all drinks. I participated in a company video shoot at a local bar, raving along with several other new hires how much we enjoy working here. Who knew I'd sell my soul by 29? ...you did?
...
I know it's old news, but I simply don't understand people who didn't find Stephen Colbert's presidential roas- er, "Correspondents Dinner address," funny. Uncomfortable? Sure. Awkward for everyone in the room? Absolutely. But that only makes these things ten-times funnier. Shame on the WaPo writer who interpreted that as a bomb. Colbert had the testicular fortitude to force POTUS to sit there and finally listen to the laundry list of crap that has been this administration. Even if you're a Republican/Hawk/Social Conservative/Bigot (couldn't resist) and disagree, you've got to at least appreciate the humor of the situation, the way we all did back during the Clinton roasts. Could someone please help me down off this soap box? I'm a little buzzed...
...
Last Friday I hit the Rose Bowl to cover the Mexican National Soccer Team, before they head off to Deutschland for the World Cup. If you've ever wondered what it's like up in the stadium press boxes - picture a bunch of fat lazy sportswriters with the best seats in the fucking house, slumped over laptops, writing absolutely nothing, making repeat trips to the buffet line.
In other news, I've completely shifted my career goals.
...
Speaking of news, one of the cities I cover is looking to annex a vast portion of adjacent equestrian and farm land. It's messy and complicated - all sorts of revenue stream issues, redevelopment agencies to get around, mixed-use, land-use, streetscapes, densities, municiBLAH.
Fuck that. I'm writing this with the headline: "INVASION!!" We'll have the armies of La Quinta storming the ranches with pitchforks, pillaging and burning down the houses - mercilessly slaughtering the families.
Which would you rather read? A man needs his Pulitzer.
