Game 4: Running Blog, 3rd Quarter

I'm falling a little behind…

10:00: Dirk looks unstoppable. Very scary.

9:15: I am really starting to like Dahntay Jones's energy is awesome.

8:32: 1-point game?!?! Denver what happened? The announcers just called Dallas resilient? You're better than that. Coach Sotola is telling you guys that that is simply unacceptable. Btw, the Angels & Demons/NBA playoffs dual commercials are not cutting it for me. Make them stop. Please.

7:37: Denver, 1-7, Dallas 6-8…and then Melo answers, twice in a row.

6:38: Good hard foul by Melo, preventing the easy basket.

6:09: Melo is starting to heat up! And Josh "on two bad ankles" Howard hits the two with an And-1 which he misses, but gets the Offensive rebound? And then gets fouled again? Ouch. That hurts.

5:58: 74-73 Nuggets. This game is really high scoring. The rhythm is infinitely better than Game 3, where fouls were getting called left right and center. Wait whats this? Terry's got 5 fouls! YES! This bodes very well for the Nuggets. On a random note, how do NBA players actually play chewing gum? I would bite my tongue off…but Jason Terry somehow still has his…

5:27: Nene with another great Block! Nene's channeling his inner Birdman, I love it.

4:02: Melo with the steal! And the easy lay-up! Nuggets back up by 9! Time to shoot some NyQuil…I'd be out and about, watching the Nuggets game with friends instead of alone, on my couch in my house if it wasn't for my leaky faucet nose. I guess it's a good thing it's a cold, my colds are really bad either last the end of one day and the next day or just one day. If I'm lucky it's the later, and I'll be 90% tomorrow.

3:47: A T on Kleiza, really? I didn't see what he did after the play, but that's unacceptable.

3:05: J.R. Smith! Hits the two! AND-1! Can he hit the free throw? NO! Come on J. R., your better than that.

1:41: Ok, the Nuggets go cold, and Dirk throws it away. Thank you Dirk, I'm really afraid we needed that.

0:35: J. J. Barea is killing us, cutting us open and then putting salt in the wound. Slicing through us like a hot knife through butter. Ok, that's enough.

0:00: 90-85. Ok, that could have been much worse. Let's see if I can stay awake before the NyQuil knocks me out for the fourth…

Part II: An Afternoon in Paklenica

Note: I've recently returned from an amazing trip to Slovenia and Croatia. This next series of posts (if I ever finish them) will describe some of the highlights, primarily with a climbing focus. Ok, you got me. It's almost 100% about climbing. Here's part two, An Afternoon in Paklenica. Route Summary (out of four stars): Vaginalna Manipulacija,  6a+ (20m): ★ Gerovit,  6c+/7a (14m) :  ★★★ (Awesome short route. Probably a fantastic warm-up for its neighbors) Butter Keks,  5c (18m): ★ (I don't remember this route, but know I climbed it) Crni Gad , 6b (20m):    ★★★★ (So good. Oh, so good). It's 1 pm, Martin and I are baking in the sun, and we haven't matched any of guidebook topos with walls. We're staring at this small, flat metal triangle drilled into the base of a seemingly blank, overhanging wall. Enscripted on the triangle is a route name and grade: Il Maratoneta,  8b+. We're not climbing this. We hike uphill a little farther,...

Verbal Constipation

Turns out I've got a disease. A bad disease. Well, it's not actually a disease. It's just an anti-diarrhea of the mouth. Think of as verbal constipation. As in you get into to a conversation or argument with someone, and only when it's all over do you actually realize how both of you were wrong and right. To keep running with the constipation theme, something isn't right, but you can't get it out until it's too late. Hmmm…I might have just taken that too far. Point is, the stuff you wanted to say, you suddenly never got the chance to say. And the stuff you did say was just dumb. Writing's a little different. Rather than being caught off guard and having conversations getting steered into directions you weren't expecting, you've got the chance to put your thoughts down. Read them over. Find the holes in your logic yourself. Fix them. Find the holes again. Leave 'em, and see whether somebody else catches them. It's essentially common knowle...

Shelf Actualization (A February Trip Recap)

Image
Marek on Gym Arete Direct (Adam) Nowadays, good climbing trips require electrolyte infused hard seltzers, dive bars with Dave Dangle, and good weather. Great climbing trips require some Rocky Mountain oysters, meeting the voice of the Enormocast, and secret blue point competitions... Saturday : Graham, Adam, and I ambitiously planned to send all of our projects on Day 1. Ah, Shelf, the place where great expectations go to die--although we did start strong! First stop: the Gym, where we immediately hopped on the  Gym Arete , and only to hear the unmistakable voice of the Enormocast (Chris Kalous) turn the corner behind us! Awesome guy. In the company of such esteemed greatness, we all sent: Graham and Adam, the Gym Arete; myself, the  direct start. Next stop: Spiney Ridge, to settle a score with  Hurricane . I weathered the storm, but Adam was tragically flooded away. For dinner, we met Christina at Pizza Madness, where Graham dropped some fighting words with the wa...
