Hump Diggy

The Nascar Nextel Cup Series visits Sonoma this weekend for one if its two forays into the wonderful world of road racing. Yes, God forbid they’ll be asked to turn right, shift gears, use their brakes, you know, normal driving activity! I’m sure someone will have something to complain about. Regulars like Jeff and Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart and Rusty Wallace are road course pros. You also get specialists like Boris Said and Ron Fellows but all in all, most of these guys can’t handle the demands of this type of racing. Unfortunately with the ever-growing nature of the Nascar schedule, the Sonoma and Watkins Glen races will probably become victims to attrition in five to ten years.

Man, there is absolutely NO buzz about this year’s NBA Draft which takes place tomorrow. Last year was the year of Lebron and although there was little drama, there was much hype. The Akron Beacon-Journal’s Terry Pluto wrote today that he feels the Cavs should draft St. Joe’s point guard extraordinaire Jameer Nelson. I don’t know, I kind of like the offense running through ‘Bron but that’s just me. The real buzz is two-fold, what’s going to happen to the Lakers and what’s up with this T-Mac deal?

So Mary-Kate Olsen has an eating disorder. This comes as no surprise to anyone who has seen her in the past year. Why this is breaking news is beyond me? What’s next, am I going to see a headline that reads “Kirstie Alley may have gained some weight in the past 15 years”? Maybe someone will ask, “what affect will this have on the presidential election”?!

Picked up “My Life” yesterday. Great deal at Target, it’s only $21 versus suggested retail of $35, haven’t seen it advertised any cheaper anywhere else. It is one thick book! I’m sure it’s good too; just have to finish “The Da Vinci Code” first. At the current rate, it won’t take long. I’d love to get my copy autographed but I don’t think the book signing tour is making a stop in the ‘Burgh.

Until we meet again, parting is such sweet sorrow!
