lesse here...

"russell rules" is an excellant book; i've gone through 70% of it yesterday, and it's an excellant book by bill russell. it's designed in a leadership success type book, but he still gives a lotta examples from his boston celtics days, which was originally why i picked up the book in the first place; to know how the man thinks.

the nba finally released a san antonio spurs dynasty/championship dvd set. needless to say, it might be the best boxset i've seen for the nba. basically, it's got all the games from the nba finals that they won. so, 16 games in all, all 4 championships, more than the other franchises' "1st championship" sets or "dynasty" sets. very impressive. costs a ton though; it was 80 dollars at fry's. i still like being able to view all the games of one series though. well, i guess technically the 2007 finals is in its entirity.

and the 2008 boston celtics dvd's pretty good too; features entire 4th quarter against cleveland, game 7 and detroit, game 6.

i'm trying to discover how to get myself to study harder and more often on the pcats, by thinking about how i can discover that joy of wanting to learn more about science.

all i've done since i've checked out the "third eye blind" cd from the library was put track 3, "semi-charmed life" essentially on repeat. ad infinitum.
