Texas, Cavs-Blazers, Lost

by Brian on January 22, 2009

in Cleveland Cavaliers,Dallas,Girls,Lost,NBA

I’m not sure someone could beat this version of Texas unless they were intentionally doing it wrong.

This was Rachel’s Texas – she’s the girl at the gym with the pretty smile.

She accused me of trying to make her feel stupid, but I think her open border there at the bottom is actually some subtle social commentary about illegal immigration.

That’s not stupidity; that’s social commentary via art. That takes smarts.

And yes, this drawing is right-side up – she’s the first person I’ve seen put the right angle portion on the bottom like that.

Anyway, let’s talk about what a bad person I am. I watched the first quarter of Cavs-Blazers, and turned it off. Congrats on the win – I’m disloyal and a non-believer.

Truth be told, I was just too wired after watching Lost to concentrate on it. This is by far one of the greatest shows of all time, and the way it makes itself feel like a completely new program every single season is amazing.

I’m not going to get into it in this post – if you want to discuss in the popular new commenting system, go ahead. I’m just trying to wrap my brain around it all still.

I love this time-jumping thing – it’s a really clever (Becky!) way to show us the secrets of stuff like the pirate ship and the four-toed foot without taking a break from the narrative. And agitated Sawyer is the best Sawyer there is.

My one, solitary problem – I think the end of the show is way too obvious at this point.

    If your diabolical, like me, you'd be thinking that Brian is using this post subtly (or not so subtly) to woo Rachel (the girl at the gym with the pretty smile). I would bet my life on the fact that he used us
    (his readership) to play her like a violin.

    ___Example___

    Brian: (Sees Rachel blowin out her triceps) Hey Can you draw Texas from memory???

    Rachel: Huh? What are you talking about? (Curious as to the angle Brian is using to gain her attention)

    Brian: Can you draw Texas from memory? What I mean is, I do this blog thing and I'm doing posts on if people can draw Texas from memory and thought it'd be cool if I asked someone from the gym

    **At this point Rachel is flattered which leads to some small talk and Brian displaying characteristics of a humorous, non threatening, gentleman who by all accounts isn't ugly and has loaded weapons for arms**

    Brian: (Tells Rachel the blog as she draws Texas and maybe even gives her his digits if he's brave enough) Check out the site, I'll put your post up tomorrow.

    THE END.

    When they meet up they'll so have a conversation about how silly this was (the post and how ironic it was the Brians readership totally called him on it and how flattered she was)and then she'll excuse herself, retire to the ladies room, and slip in her diaphram.

    More important than the Cavs-Blazers…The Knicks beat the Suns! They're 2 games back of a playoff spot!

    Also, I've never seen Lost, but I will confidently state that the greatest TV show of all time was Twin Peaks.

    uh oh, Brian's discovered GOT's secret Spaeth fetish. The sentence regarding Brian's looks and specifically the “loaded weapons for arms” are quite telling.

    More specifically his eyes that double as sunsets and was whispy hair that reminds one of a peaceful cornfield that one might graze in if they had a lazy sunday or two to let go of.

    I don't know if you'd like Lost – might be too mainstream for you.

    so….the game last night was good, even though we lost.

    I think the Cavs must have read my pre-game post, they won the game in almost exactly the fashion I predicted.

    Damn you Rookie Gregory Odenthal! Why aren't you playing like an all-star every day?
