Huskies again, and Michel Gondry.

Surprisingly, there's no orange glow in the north yet, given that the Husky women beat Tennessee tonight. I imagine the drunken morons in Storrs are turning over cars and smiling for TV cameras, just like the idiots at Northeastern who rioted in February when the Pats won the Super Bowl. Can't wait to hear the stories of poor college kids ID'ed in photos being hauled into Vernon Superior Court. I didn't see the game, unfortunately, nor did I see Mussina pitching like Jeff Weaver either.

Sterling has another stupid catch phrase now for Yankee games. Last year it was the "Giambino", this year we're gonna be sick to death of hearing about "A-Bombs". Someone needs to smack him upside the head.

Watched the Michel Gondry Directors Series DVD at work tonight. Good stuff. Lots of experimental stuff with bullet time, editing tricks, and Legos. I actually liked it more then the Spike Jonze DVD, despite the fact that Spike's DVD has Walken dancing. Highlights of the disc are:

"The Hardest Button To Button" by the White Stripes, a marvel of live action stop motion editing and photography, as Jack and Meg make their way around Manhattan one frame at a time.

6 Bjork Videos, including "Human Behavior" and "Army Of Me".

and "Lucas With The Lid Off", an amazing video for a one-hit wonder jazz-hop white rapper from the mid-90's, all shot in one long, Citizen Kaneesque take.

Definitely worth your 18 bucks.
