What a Man.

In celebration of my having figured out how to put videos in my blog, I bring you one that I enjoy very, very much:

(In case anyone's wondering why there hasn't been a Ridiculous Boyfriend Spotlight on Acie Law IV--that's because it's not ridiculous. I mean, we went to college together. We did! Technically. And I, of course, have A Plan. But it's A Secret Plan, because I don't need any random internet hussies stealing it.)

Ten Cents Well-Spent?

I've never text-message voted for anything before, but voting for Acie Law IV for the Naismith Award must be worth it. I mean, there's always a chance (a chance that gets better for every game A&M continues to play in) that he'll beat Kevin Durant, and I might as well do my part to help that happen.

And as long as I'm on the subject, I might as well extol a virtue or two of Acie's, to wit: so, that li'l freshman point guard for Louisville, Edgar Sosa, was understandably disappointed when his team lost (when, after a 31 point game from him, he missed two free throws and a last-second three at the end). But Acie made sure to tell him what a good job he'd done, and how he had nothing to be ashamed of.

Awwwwww. (Virtue 1: so nice! Virtue 2: classy!)

That picture is just barely behind "Acie and Billy share a special moment on Senior Day" as my current favorite Acie picture.

Edited to add: SWEET SIXTEEN, BABY!

I Am The Target Audience!

Check it out! On the ESPN.com homepage (well, for now), they have one of their Big Dance rollercoaster cartoons:

It's Acie! Next to Bucky!

Really, what are the odds?

Updates of Various Kinds

1. I did not win the John Adams eyeliner picture. Very sad. I'll just try to console myself with the fact that it says "For David." After all, I'm not David.

2. It continues to snow, so today I walked on down to Ace Hardware and bought a shovel. (I walked because I can't move my car--hence the shovel.) The best part of that story is me jaunting about town (including a trip into McDonald's to get me a salad) with a shovel over my shoulder.

3. Still no George Washington dollars at my bank. I went in and asked, and even got the same guy. He didn't remember me specifically, but did have the air of someone who's been asked the same question many a time.

4. More and more people are discovering how mind-bogglingly, superhumanly, unbelievably fantastic Acie Law IV is at playing basketball. That previous link is but one example of what I'm talking about; type Acie Law IV into Google News if you don't believe me. I dare you.

BASKETBAAAAAALLLLLLL!

Now that the Fightin' Texas Aggies have won possibly the biggest pair of games in Aggie basketball history, the sports world in general is starting to cotton on to two major facts. I, of course, have known them for slightly over two years.

1. The Fightin' Texas Aggie basketball team is FOR REAL.

2. Acie Law IV is THE MAN.

(That's an old picture, from the night I figured out Acie Law IV is THE MAN, but it's a classic.)

Clearly, Billy Clyde Gillispie is also the man, but I think there was a better general awareness of that than the other things.
