Coming into Selection Sunday, the Albany Great Danes were unsure as to where they were going to be playing and as what seed. Now they know, as the selection committee has chosen them as a 15 seed and the opponent of the 2 seed Duke Blue Devils in Philadelphia in the midwest region.
Yesterday was steak and a BJ day. Normally I'm all for it. Who doesn't like BJs? But all week I've been out of commission. So I ordered M some pizza and went to bed. In my defense, despite not feeling
March 15, 2013 In order to stay fresh and hip in the world you have to have a jump start on everything. That’s why I am starting the next wave of Photo Memes.
March 15, 2013 You know, in this rough economy you really have to hustle to make a buck. It's tough out there on those streets. Real tough! I mean you really have to take advantage of any way to earn few green backs, right? As your favorite rapper might say: 'You have to get on your grind and ish'.
March 15, 2013 Albany's Knickerbocker Film Festival is set to kick off in April, which raises excitement and questions. Like “what the hell is a Knickerbocker”?
To watch 'The Place Beyond the Pines' is to observe characters making discoveries. Discoveries about their past, their environment, their heritage. When the revelations come they aren't met with gasps or dropped objects, but with an understanding, an acceptance that, yes, this is, indeed, the way things are.
While you'd swear with every bone in your body that this vast, rich, symbol-heavy tale was surely based on a thick doorstopper of a novel, the surprising fact remains that it is, actually, an original screenplay.

March 13, 2013 It seems as though the greasy breakfast staple that we've all grown to love, and love and love is as big as ever. There are signs everywhere showing our passion for bacon: 'Keep Calm and Eat Bacon' is just one floating around here. Hello, there's even the Bacon Brothers (I know that's their last name, but still) touring around the country playing their music. Yes, we all love bacon but what if you had to choose between Bacon or Oral? Which route would you take? Stopped you dead in your tracks didn't I?
March 13, 2013 Oh that title is correct, in my opinion, especially around here. Maybe it's just me though? I'm sticking with: 'In real life, ish doesn't go down like this.' Well hold on: It goes down like this but you know the chick is making a b-line for her comp only to block your number like whoa!
