Playoffs

These days I've been thinking a lot about my good friend and former roommate Nas, and how, right as her beloved Mavs have made it ot the playoffs for the first time in history, she's in India for an internship. I guess that's what Tevo is for.

I've also been thinking about Shaquille O'neal and his foray into law enforcement. Apparently he's somehow found the time to participate in some actual cop-related work by assisting in the arrests of some child pornographers. Personally, if I was getting arrested for being a complete pervert, I would totally want the arresting officer to be Shaquille O'neal. Although it might be kind of terrifying since he's like nine feet tall.

Also, when the hell did he find the time to get trained to do this?? He travels all the time for basketball and events and stuff, and he and his teeny-tiny wife have like six young kids. I think he really must be a magic genie, like in that terrible movie . . . .

awww, thanks for thinking of me, rach. actually, the spurs are my beloved. and they're out. which is sad. i really wanted to see a finals between the spurs and the pistons...

but, i am happy for the mavs. and i definitely want them to beat the heat (not a shaq fan, myself). believe it or not, i saw game 1 a day later when they aired the ESPN broadcast on indian TV. miraculously, they found a way to broadcast it in between world cup matches. as i was laying in bed sick at the time (like i've been doing for the past week, unfortunately), it was a welcome remedy. basketball always makes me feel better -- especially when i'm on the other side of the world. :)
