-Here's when college basketball is watchable(outside the tournament, of course): Holiday season title games(like IU/KU last year), Low- and mid-major conference tournament title games, CBS Saturday afternoon non-conference games, ESPN Saturday night games. Outside of that criteria, it's 50/50 whether it will be an enjoyable experience(20/80 if it's a Big Ten regular season game).
-"Moana" really is very good, and extends a string of high-quality Disney animated films. Their strong run seemingly coincided with the slow decline of Pixar films(outside of "Inside Out"), when everyone in the industry assumed that the opposite would be the trend going forward.
-Two months until this California trip. Hotels booked, itineraries sketched out, all that's left to do is book the return flight from SD and book the rental car. We're at the point where we're basically throwing the budget out the window and just ok'ing every extra expenditure. Once in a lifetime, ATKOT.
-So much intrigue in tonight's Draft Lottery. Must-see viewing. Crazy how much the Lakers have riding on what happens tonight.
-Go-to background instrumental music rotation for when I'm working/writing: "Clair de Lune" by Debussy, Verdi's Requiem, and Vivaldi's "Four Seasons". That's all I need.
