Not only did Brian try to send me to the gym this week wearing a handwritten sticker on my back that read, “I [heart] being a bottom,” but he has taken to writing little witticisms on his rent check, such as, FOR “Rent and Sex.” If I merely had to deposit these checks at the ATM, this wouldn’t be a problem. But today, I had to deposit the check with a teller because I had to take care of a minor issue with my cash reserve. So I’m holding his check that says, “FOR June Rent and Good Doggie Style,” and I have a 50/50 chance of getting either the old Armenian woman who barely speaks English, or the cute college boy who I flirted with mercilessly the last time I was here. As I get closer to the front of the line, praying to get the Armenian woman, College Boy looks up and smiles. Fuck. He remembers me. I’m praying and I’m praying to not get him as my teller, because as much as I joke about these things, I’m actually quite modest and I have a feeling that as bored as he is with his job, he’s going to notice that unusual little notation on the check. I end up getting the Armenian woman who didn’t seem to notice, but if I had gotten College Boy, I would probably have a great anecdote here about a ten-minute babble to a stranger about how I’m not a prostitute followed quickly by a mid-afternoon neurotic panic attack. Love your sense of humor, B. Love it to tiny, tiny, sharp, jagged bits.

Today, I asked my brother what he wanted to be for Halloween this year, and he said, “A gay FBI agent.”

My ESPN Draft Picks Entry:

Team Gonads and Strife

Updated

1st – Orlando Dwight Howard, GA HS Sr. PF
2nd – Charlotte Emeka Okafor, UConn Jr. PF
3rd – Chicago Andre Iguodala, Ariz. SG/SF
4th – LA Clippers Shaun Livingston, IL HS Sr PG
5th – Dallas Andris Biedrins, Latvia PF/C
6th – Atlanta Devin Harris, Wisconsin Jr. PG
7th – Chicago Luke Jackson, Oregon Sr. SG/SF
8th – Toronto Luol Deng, Duke Fr. SF
9th – Philadelphia Ben Gordon, UConn PG
10th – Cleveland Josh Childress, Stanford Jr. SG/SF
11th – Golden State Jameer Nelson, St Joe’s SR. PG
12th – Seattle Kirk Snyder, Nevada Jr. SG
13th – Portland Josh Smith, GA HS Sr. SF
14th – Utah Sergei Monya, Russia SG

This is what I’d like to see from the Golden State Warriors:

1. Package Nick Van Exel and Jrich to get rid of Van Exel’s salary.
2. Sign Mehmet Okur. They could really use him.
3. Clear cap space so we can make a play for Yao next year. Yao wants to come to the bay area.
4. Trade their #11 Draft Pick in this year’s draft. It’s a weak draft. Better to go for a future lottery pick in a deeper draft while using this pick as bait for enabling the above.

Scenarios
NVE makes 12M with 2 years left. J-Rich makes 3.5M with 2 years left.

1. NVE/JR (+filler) to Memphis for Pau Gasol/Bonzi Wells. Bonzi’s 8M comes off the books after next season. Mike Dunleavy Jr. gets displaced but he can play 4 positions. GS will probably have to give up draft picks as well.
2. NVE/JR (+filler) to Dallas for Antoine Walker/Tony Delk. Antoine’s 14M comes off books next year, and Delk returns to the Warriors as a shoot first point guard.
3. NVE/JR to Portland for Theo Ratliff, Qyntel Woods, Dan Dickau + Future First Rounders. Theo’s 10M comes off books next year, Qyntel could develop, Dickau sits the bench.

These are all financial scenarios. The Warriors have GOT to get rid of Van Exel, even if it means giving up Richardson, to pave the way to signing Yao and/or Nash.

But then again, the owner of this hopeless franchise is hella cheap.

Hump Day Means Office Productivity Day

jckurily: what other bad movies did we see
Me: i don’t know about bad but we saw red dragon (where you threatened to punch me in the head)
jckurily: in the face, julia.. not the head
Me: that’s right, in the face
Me: i’ll remember your fist when i try not to get scared watching gothika
jckurily: trust me, you wont get scared from gothika
jckurily: you will laugh and hate yourself for renting it
Me: self-loathing…the best kind of effect from a video rental
jckurily: it is… thats my motto
Me: if it doesn’t make me want to kill myself from disgust, then it’s not worth renting
jckurily: they have a whole section dedicated to that area
Me: like next to Special Interest and Academy Awards?
jckurily: exactly… but you have to show a special card in order to rent these movies
Me: you mean your anti-depressant prescription
jckurily: or a used condom
Me: if you have a used condom, you don’t need self-loathing videos cuz you’re getting some
jckurily: unless, you were so desperate, you pretend to get a used condom because you really cant get any so you need to get these videos to fill the void
Me: whoa
Me: we’re theorizing about someone bringing a used condom to hollywood video
Me: that’s funny, because i was seriously thinking about the psychological elements of what you just said
jckurily: and what is that?
Me: that someone must be real fucked up in the head to fake a used condom to take out a video. :-)
Me: not considering the fact we’re probably real messed up for theorizing about a world where one must present a used condom to take out a video that is recommended to having the effect of making one want to kill himself
jckurily: or people who talk about people who theorize about people who would go to HV with a used condom to rent movies that are bad
Me: or people who think about wanting to talk about people who theorize about people who would go to hv with a used condom to rent movies that are bad
jckurily: or people who point out people who think about wanting to talk about people who theorize about people who would go to hv with a used condom to rent movies that are bad
Me: or people who passively sit by and encourage people who point out people who think about wanting to talk about people who theorize about people who would go to hv with a used condom to rent movies that are bad
jckurily: or people who unjustly accuse that a person is passively sitting by and encouraging people who point out people who think about wanting to talk about people who theorize about people who would go to hv with a used condom to rent movies that are bad
Me: or people who never explained the dangers of prejudice and ignorance to people who unjustly accuse that a person is passively sitting by and encouraging people who point out people who think about wanting to talk about people who theorize about people who would go to hv with a used condom to rent movies that are bad.

jckurily: have you seen my baseball?
