with this picture

i've been watching loads of NBA playoffs. my roommates hate me.

they keep running the athlete's foot spot i worked on in october, and every time i see it, i think to myself, "hey, i bought that basketball."

magic johnson is doing these law and order promos where he talks about how no one loves the NBA action as much as he does, "but," he says, "sometimes i miss the dead bodies." the whole thing seems in strangely poor taste to me. maybe it's because of my recent writing work on dying, or maybe it's because he's got the HIV and lots of people die from that shit. i don't know.

also, i can't bring myself to rewrite the dying thing "funny." we need to have a story conference on this one.

so what i'm getting at, in general, is that there's something wrong with this picture. the whole thing.
