You Need The Glory; also, I take requests.

I can't believe the New Jersey Nets just scored 133 points in regulation, 157 points total, and still lost. That's, like, some ABA shit. Also for some reason it reminds me of Loyola Marymount in the 1990 NCAA Tournament, steamrolling Michigan with a team completely made up of freakish 5'4" elves with wicked three-point shooting ability who could run twice as fast as a normal person. Or at least that's how I remember it, but I was ten years old at the time, and sometimes memory fails us. At the very least, Michigan got their asses beat, by a bunch of Catholic midgets from California, and the entire state is still reeling to this day. Or not.

Pistons won, I won't care about the Nets until they actually move to Brooklyn, if they actually ever do move to Brooklyn, which I won't believe until it happens. Speaking of the Atlantic Yards project, I finally spent some time inside the Williamsburg Bank building. Well I guess that doesn't have much to do with Atlantic Yards, or the Nets, but it is three blocks from the site, and has a very nice view. I always imagined One Hanson Place to be empty and abandoned, even though I've walked by it a million times, and that's where I get off of the Q train at Atlantic Ave., but still, it has that feel about it. And maybe it is, and my oral surgeon is just squatting an office on the 23rd floor. Who knows? But the point of the story is, there's a friendly oral surgeon on the 23rd floor of the Williamsburg Bank Building, for the time being at least - I don't know that people who buy million-dollar condos want to live right next door to a place where the only business is ripping out people's teeth with pliers and hammers. Also, the view is great.
