school is out for the summer. all my papers are graded. all my end of the year reports have been handed in. and, of course, the spurs demolished the pistons last night. . .which made today such a great day to live in michigan. the same students that were talking serious smack yesterday were strangely silent today. what a blessed day. go spurs.
i will admit that there was a tinge of fear in my heart as the pistons went on a 17-2 point run in the first quarter. for a few minutes i couldn't believe my eyes and began questioning my perceptions about the series. . .but tduncan and mginobili strengthened my resolve. is there really a chance that the pistons could win this series? about a snowball's chance in san antonio. . .not that detroit is much cooler these days. if ginobili were injured, it would be close. if duncan were injured, they could probably pull it off. however, we know duncan is injured, but hasn't allowed it to stop him. i hope it stays that way for 3 more games (or 4 if the pistons eek one out).
kinda ironic that the pistons lost last night at the sbc center in san antonio and today sbc gave us fits with our phones. i doubt the 2 are related, but it is fun to imagine.
age of empires iii comes out in november. . .right before my birthday. screen shots look awesome. gameplay video looks even better. hope it lives up to the hype. hope my computer can handle it. funny thing is that there is a portuguese civilization (which is the hawaiian equivalent to blondes and pollocks in the mainland). recently the chief sent me an email regarding a scaled down version of microsoft windows in portuguese. i guess gates is close to hawaii. . .sorta. closer than i am. perhaps that will be the next phase of acceptable humor now that blonde jokes are pretty much passe. please, don't email me your blonde jokes.
the chief bestowed a great honor on me by asking me to be the best man at his wedding. as has been pointed out in the past, perhaps the title isn't right. "a decent man" would make more sense to me. . .especially since the girl should be marrying the "best man". i'll stick with hadji. that's a safe name no matter what the occasion.
timeline pics to come. . .probably later tonight.
more later. . .
peace and java
