Random thoughts, 6-28-05
Jun. 28th, 2005 02:16 amOn the final run of GRE Vocab words. Saturday, July 16th shall be GRE Test day.
-----------------------
If major league baseball teams were stock...
UP: Angels, A's, Red Sox
Down: Rangers, Twins, Orioles
Teams that don't have a stand out All Star:
Rockies, Devil Rays, Royals
Deserve to start in ASG:
(AL) Mark Teixeira, 1B
(NL) Derrek Lee, 1B
-----------------------
The NFL Draft had 34 million people watching it. It will be less for the NBA draft but I'm sure there will be quite a ratings spike for ESPN when Bogut gets selected number one. Yep, the Bucks will pick an Australian who played college ball at Utah.
Random note that will be probably be mentioned too much during the draft special: Jordan was picked third in his draft class. The excuse for the team picking first was that they needed a center. The Bucks need a center. Hmmm....
-----------------------
Going to a Final Fantasy concert this Friday in Dallas. Somehow my ole high school crew convinced me to hear Nobuo Uematsu music performed live. Nostalgia and nerds do mix.
-----------------------
In Magic news, the ten painlands will be returning to the core set (that's one way to sell them). City of Brass is out though. But...so are Birds of Paradise. But birds will return in Ravnica, as the whole block is doing the multicolor thing ala Invasion (complete with kicker too, I bet). I think it's likely that City of Brass will return in Ravnica block. I mean, Ravnica is a city of guilds, so there's bound to be some brass somewhere in the city. Taking two good color fixing cards out of the core set and putting them in a block like Ravnica sounds like something they would do (plus it saves them from making yet another city variant).
