musesfool on sports fans and schadenfruede - itself a comment on the Slate article "Why we root for underdogs."
( Germane here, because... )
Too bad I'm too lazy to refine this into a study of actual merit/quality. Somebody could do some quality school work on this theme.

1. NHL Playoffs are underway.
2. Hot Tub Time Machine. Not a great movie or anything. Could have been better, done more with the premise, no Back To the Future. But still fun to watch. Sebastian Stan amuses me.
3. Still using my Netbook as a daily machine while I wait for a replacement motherboard for my desktop PC. This is suboptimal.
LET'S GO CAPS! ROCK THE RED!!!

My cousin will be making her debut at Carnegie Hall on Friday, April 23rd. She'll be singing with renowned professional choir Musica Sacra in Mozart's Mass in C Minor.
Date: Friday, April 23, 2010
Time: 8:00pm - 11:00pm
Location: Carnegie Hall, New York
My cousin is a lovely singer, with a long background in music and this is her first major gig since moving to NYC quite some time ago. I'm very proud of her. While I understand most people aren't particularly inclined or otherwise free to see her show - I'm not averse to a bit of shameless plugging for the family.

Have taken in my computer to be looked at - initial diagnosis is that the motherboard failed. Waiting for full assessment, and then I get to decide whether I want to fix that or cannibalize for parts and just get a new machine. Yay.
In other news, "The Good Wife" is a really good show. I very much enjoyed tonight's episode.

Tried to wake up my computer from sleep mode the other day - monitor never came back on.
Connected monitor to a different computer, and it works. So apparently, I have a situation where my PC, on boot up, is not recognizing the presence of a monitor. (DVI Without any sort of display, this makes troubleshooting extremely hard.
Anybody ever heard of this one?
