Do they get elbuzzard in Spain?
The Hornets are officially a New Orleans team now. They got our hopes up, made us believe, and then almost made it.
I will now call myself a Hornets fan, because they broke my heart. I stayed up to watch the game and everything. It got exciting there at the end, when they almost won.
Almost.
In keeping with the current trend of how things are going in my life, I was almost hit by a car this morning. I know some of you have walked around with me, and know that I have a thing about enforcing the sanctity of crosswalks, but in this case, I was on sidewalk, and some lady turned into the driveway behind the Biltmore without looking.
Starting your day off by shouting a string of obscenities at the back of a car is not part of a balanced breakfast.
On behalf of pedestrians everywhere, if you are driving today, don’t be an asshole.
Eek. This one snuck up on me.
Get back into town!
Brent and I tried out the website muxtape.com. It basically lets you make an online mixtape, that anyone can access over the interwebs. We put together mixes of our favorite songs of 2008.
Check em out if you want to. We don’t care what you think.
Usually I like a little eye contact from my lead singer, but this guy really made me uncomfortable.
Then he stood next to me throughout the Cut Copy show. When Chelsey gave me a kiss, he quietly slinked away.
I know the elbuzzard faithful expected a draft post on Monday morning. For that I apologize. I’m much better at free agent signings than drafts. With the exception of our last pick, we only took guys who wore red in college. Excellent draft strategy.
We traded up to get Sedrick Ellis, a DT from USC. Apparently, he’s real good. Like all college players, I don’t know a lot about him other than what Mel Kiper says on TV. He’s a defensive player. A run-stopper. I like that. If he pans out, and we can get consistent pressure on the QB, our secondary will look a lot better than it did last year, even if Chasin’ David is still starting. Also our Dline coach Ed Orgeron was his coach at USC. So we should know what we are getting. In theory.
What I really like about our draft is our sixth-round pick. Taylor Mehlhaff. A GODDAMN kicker. He was the first kicker taken in the draft, and was the highest ranked by most everyone. Who cares, right? Who cares about the kicker? Why waste a draft pick? Just sign a free agent, right?
That’s been working out great for us, hasn’t it? No more Mare (well, he’s already been cut), no more Cundiff, no more Marteen Gramatica, no more whoever we have kicking for us now. No more having a kickoff guy and a field goal guy. Just one guy who does both. I really hope this guy can do both, the criticism I’ve read in some places is that he’s a better kickoff specialist than field goal kicker. I’m just glad to see us addressing a position that caused us no end of grief last year.
Assuming, of course, the kid can kick.
Marnie sent in some more photos from the big wedding shindig. Hers are first in the list, if you’ve checked out the gallery before.
Here are some highlights:
She actually thought to take pictures of the bride and groom…
Leslie sums up how we all feel:
