BTW, wanted to get this out of the way...NETS IN SIX. Also, Koller??? Neither Philly nor Dallas has any heart. Also, Kentaro?? Boston=no heart. Thanks

WOW, i had never really watched Gilmore Girls before last night, but I must admit its an oddly compelling show. I have a large head so I should not really talk but it seems to me that the daughter has a forehead out of Frankenstein or something. I placed small bets with myself to see if any point she would make a sudden movement and fall over on herself.

You know what`s diffferent about NBA playoff coverage in the US and abroad? The commentators have a lot more fun in the US. I am one of the few who enjoy Bill Walton for example. Last night, I did a lot of Walton imitations while watching Spurs-Mavs game 6..."RAEF LAFRENTZ, Throw it DOOWN BIG MAN" etc. I also really enjoy the snerk that Van Gundy and Fratello throw at each other on TNT. Like when Jeff throws in some comments about interviewing for this job or speaking with LeBron on the phone and the Czar works really hard to remind everyone he is also a coach who is available for interviews.

DUMB AMERICAN EXPERIENCE OF THE DAY
Last nite on my way home from work, I noticed I had missed the bus and had to cab it. I spent about an hour in a cab with this dude trying to figure out how to navigate through Itaim (the neighborhood i live in) which seems to be all one ways that go in ways I don`t want to go. At one point I figured he was trying to screw the dumb american out of some money but he knocked 8R$ off the tab which was about right so maybe he]s just dumb. Oddly enough, the trip did expose to me that there is an Irish pub about 1/2 a mile from my flat. Bangers and mash anyone?

Once I figure out how to post pictures on here. I will try to post pics of the Office I work in which is interesting because its an incredibly nice office complex with about 7 high rises that are on a border with some of the most depressing looking slums you can imagine. Apparently this is very common here.

Oui from Brazil or Ahlo i suppose which some people also get away with. for a long time I was updating this site with info but that is not really likely with my current limitations at work. anyway, new feature

DUMB AMERICAN MOVE OF THE DAY
walked into a tapas restaurant last nite hoping to find some people speaking spanish to spare myself getting laughed out of a restaurant again. I placed an order and got a plate of cold cuts when i expected something more closely resembling, you know, tapas. Whatever my fault. I put on my old school adkins hat and ate a plate of ham and salami...um...yum?
