It's strange. I actually have very little pain or even discomfort really.

What I’ve found is that it just sorta affects my core strength in the sense that it makes it a little harder to run/sprint/change direction. It just sorta feels weak though, not painful. The most significant symptoms are my energy levels drain WAY faster than normal because it takes a lot more effort to do basically anything athletic, and it’s harder to recover quickly.

So basically I’m just getting old.

Erm - just documentaries on certain topics.

So this ‘Run Ricky Run’ one is about when Rickey Williams retired from the NFL to discover himself. Lots of one on one interviews with him (during the period) and people that know him. I think someone chronicled his life during that period.

The ‘Straight Outta LA’ one was presented by Ice Cube and it was about the link between the emerging L.A. rap scene (mostly NWA) and the Raiders moving to L.A. (so mid 80’s?). Some documentary footage and lots of footage with Ice Cube talking to Snoop Dogg.

The ‘Small Potatoes’ one was about the downfall of the USFL. Lots of documentary footage and plenty of one on one interviews with those involved with it (Donald Trump, Steve Young, Jim Kelly, Burt Reynolds etc etc).

The ‘June 17th 1994’ one was probably the best so far. Basically just documented what happened the entire day O.J. went on the run in his white bronco. No interviews, just tv coverage from the day and voice overs.

Overall though they’re definitely worth a watch.

I think the hardest part for me would be counting all the rests. Clarinets in a concert band are often the equivalent of violins in an orchestra, so we didn’t have to count rests for half a piece or anything.

Rests destroyed me. Always. With any other instrument, you can follow along with the person next to you, or something. We’re out on an island, often counting 60 or more bars of rests.

No, you hold the face BEFORE the kiss.

brush the hair out of the way if necessary, curl your fingers so you run the back of them down her cheek from temple to chin, lightly hold her chin to pull her face toward yours, and then use both arms/hands to pull her close to you.

he wants to make T shirts

with an A’s Talk logo — as yet undesigned — and sell them. He said he’d take the $ and throw a big party for the audience and AN and whatnot.

We are trying to do a thing where we have the pregame Dugout Show and the postgame live from a sushi bar in Berkeley, and we all watch the game and party on sake and fish w/Chris, but this will take a couple of homestands to make happen with KTRB and whatever.

Never listened to Buan, but he sounded like a puppet.

You REALLY don’t want those when the team is losing. Sports Radio should be a place to vent your frustrations, float your crazy ideas and gloat about your victory. It’s not the place for logic.

So yeah, put in a good word, please.

All I need is a works visa, a place to live……..and erm…..lots of free time. I’m sure he’d love to have me on board! =P

But yeah – it’s boring if everyone is rational and level headed.

He's about as accessible as sports talk hosts come, I think

And he’s a relatively straight shooter, which is nice. No phoniness and he’s certainly not a team hack.

Is UZR the one that's broken down into little slices?

If that makes any sense.

And the other one is?

Cos they don’t mesh very well, or so I gather.

Like some of them LOVE certain players, but hate others.

Dewan +/-, you mean?

I’m not sure the specifics of that one. I think it’s similar, but less zones.

Possibly.

kind of, but he also steamrolls ideas

and if he steamrolls yours, its hard to rebound.

but, it’s his job to be well informed and opinionated. being in talk radio and being wishy washy is just…yeah. doesn’t work.

by noava22 on Jul 30, 2010 1:24 AM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah I've noticed that.

It's cos Bloom, CS and attijah (to name but a few) aren't here.

They tend to keep the conversation going all on their own.

So, um, I'm at Chez Poulet and there's three of us still up and

we’re playing Rock Band.

I’m scared.

sock puppets have never successfully defended castles, except when working with squirrels, which would never happen because squirrels know better than to trust sock puppets, except when their nipples have magical powers. -nm
