More Notes and Observations

• Springlike in Oregon for the past week and days ahead. Had me checking for cherry blossoms. I almost feel guilty when hearing about all the snow that's been falling at similar Northeastern U.S. latitudes.
•  I've taken note over the past year, of changes in what I look forward to daily. I'm finding that what I primarily want to do nowadays is get home from work, stay home, watch a movie or two, add content to my several ongoing attempts at blogging, listen to music occasionally and sleep. That understandably coincides with my increasing agitation at so much that I see when out and about.
• Mainly I desire to outlive the coming of "The Big One" .... forecasted N.W. earthquake that is.
• I'm extremely thankful for the years 1935-1965. There would be a lack of good movies if not for those times. And also a lack of good, bad movies. Like the classic, "Plan 9 From Outer Space.
• The NBA All Star game .... Why bother any more? 133 three point attempts taken. That's a joke. It makes a mockery of the game. The way they go up and down shooting three pointers and uncontested alley-oopps and no defense being played, each team should have scored 200 points. Saw a replay of the 1993 game a few days ago. At least there was effort there. It wasn't a total mockery. The players from that era must shake their heads at what it's devolved into. Why can't the people in charge of the league see it? How about skipping it for a few years? See if that changes anything. I hear there's a campaign to get a game in Portland. Portland organizers should drop the thought. Who wants to be affiliated with that fiasco? I can't imagine paying $100-$200 for a seat (or whatever a ticket price would be) and actually feeling afterwards like I was entertained. Hope you're feeling proud NBA!
