brief moss reaction: i heard tony dungy on fox sports radio this morning. (who knew it existed?) as you'll recall, tony dungy was the most puritanical of the puritanical back in november when the bare-backed nicolette sherican jumped into the arms of terrell owens. i expected more of the same this morning, of course, but got nothing of the sort. instead, dungy didn't exactly defend moss, but he certainly justified his actions. apparently, there's a lambeau tradition in which celebrating packers fans line the fence near the visiting team clubhouse. as the bus is on its way out, the victorious packers fans drop their pants, bend over, and add insult to injury by revealing their pale white asses to the losers.

what all this means = besides being the most talented receiver in football, moss is also pretty clever.

also, i've now officially been hooked on 24. i had avoided it for its first three (two?) seasons, because i knew that the next effect would indeed be 'hooking.' so why did i decide to watch it? because the promos told me to. in the past, the words of nemo used to keep me up-to-date (and confused) regarding the goings-on of jack bauer, but, alas, he no longer writes.

other things:
- i've created a mix tape for my sister, at her request. yes, a 90-minute mix tape, complete with epic openers and closers for each side. she needed the tape to drive back to new york next week (yes, she needed a tape). we'll publish a tracklisting as soon as i get confirmation that it's been received.

- i gotta tell you, there's nothing more frustrating than being without a computer at the office. i feel like i've slogged through four straight unproductive work days, probably because i have. hopefully we'll have a repaired one in the next three weeks. hopefully, or i'll probably crack.

- i've spent some time in the last two days moving files from old computer to new computer (there are probably more efficient ways than emailing 3 meg music files, but i haven't found them). the old computer was overtaxed in such a way that music was unlistenable, so it's nice to hear the streets' original pirate material for the first time in more than a year. it's a truly fabulous record, although a grand don't come for free is leaps ahead of it.
