Blood Work, Stevie Nash and What the Hell is Wrong with Pat Riley?
Women are always complaining about men's fascination with breasts. But what if men were absolutely indifferent to breasts? What would women do then with these things that serve one function once or twice in a lifetime, and the rest of the time are just in the way? ~ Jonathan Carroll
I just got back from an extended trip for radiation. After they irradiated me, I had to visit my doctor. That means he pulls my hospital gown down and looks at the place where the other girl used to be. I don't care. I'm so accustomed to having strangers look at my breasts that I'm thinking of doing a calendar or something. I guess I'd need to wait until the left girl gets reconstructed. Very few people find mastectomy scars worth paying for.
After the doctor visit, I had to go do blood work. I have to do that four more times at various intervals, so I came back to work and wrote "blood work" on those dates in my calendar. I started thinking about how weird that looks written on my calendar. That's when it occurred to me that there should be a band somewhere with that name, don't you think? Blood Work performing Saturday at Emo's? It's one of those names that could go with any type of music--alt, country, jazz, rap. Someone needs to get busy on this. Get a band, people.
Why oh why do they only bring on the good NBA playoff games after my bed time? It breaks my heart that I wasn't able to watch the Phoenix game last night. The NBA needs to schedule the Detroit-Cavs game at 10:00 and bring on little Stevie Nash early.
I'm thinking the Miami game might be really competitive. Poor Pat Riley. He's coaching alright, but when you look at his eyes, he's looking really depressed. He should quit coaching and go grieve his mother's passing. Or maybe he's just depressed that his team appears to be ignoring him. I hate it that he's started dyeing his hair now that he's back in the coaching biz. What's that all about, I wonder? I think he went back to coaching because Phil did. He's very competitive with Phil Jackson. It must give him some solace that Phil's sittting at home right about now, wondering why Kobe wouldn't take any shots in the second quarter of the seventh game. I know it makes me feel better.
The Mavs-Spurs game is starting at 8:00-ish tonight. All of my co-workers are rooting for the Spurs. I used to be a big Mavs fan, but they let Steve Nash go to Phoenix. What idiots. Who needs Steve Nash, anyway? He's just the MVP for the second year in a row. Yeah, let's get rid of him. Even though I'll never forgive Dallas for that, I still don't think I can root for the Spurs. I hate their owner. I used to work with him about 30 years ago because of some irritating interpersonal interactions between us. Yes, I hold a grudge.
