Last Chance
Today is the final day of the regular season of the NBA. Portland plays Denver tonight, in a game that has plenty of playoff implications. Hopefully Houston loses to Dallas so Denver doesn't have to beat Portland. If that happens Portland will likely roll over Denver's role players and clinch home court advantage in the first round. It means we play the Spurs, who are notoriously kick ass in the playoffs especially in odd years. Having said that though we have beaten the Spurs three out of four times this season already. Including a thirty point blowout at home and a twenty something point blow out in San Antonio. I'm looking forward to tonight. If Portland had had a bad season it would be the last time that I would be getting press credentials maybe ever. Because they did well I will get at least two more games, even if they don't get home court in the first round. So thanks Blazers for that.
School is officially in its third week of the term. Its weird having two classes on the same day. It means my day starts at around 11:00 when I leave home to get to campus at noon to play basketball, then I have an hour break when I usually eat lunch, then I have a class at 2:00, forty minutes off, and finally a class at 4:40. I get home around sevenish, or a little later. It will actually be nice when the NBA season ends. I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and work on my fiction. I also have yet to get a chance to really ride my new bike. I rode home from downtown the other day, and that was a workout, but I really need to start riding on a regular basis. I sent in my notice that I would like my old job back at St Johns. I haven't heard anything yet, but its likely that I will get it back. The big upside to that is that I can ride my bike there every day.
I don't really have anything else to really report. As Lizzy mentioned in her blog, Robin Cody is running my fiction workshop this week. He wrote two books, one which I was supposed to read in high school and the other which I was supposed to read in college, that I haven't read. He is an interesting guy. One thing I like about writers is that they are all interesting people. They aren't all crazy like the dude from Californication, but they are at the very least interesting. I'm excited about school being almost done. I'm thinking only two more terms, and then I will be all finished. That is if I can get my thesis finished in the alloted amount of time.
Go BLAZERS! One more win is all we need!
