April 1

The feels-like-20-degrees outside (ON THE FIRST DAY OF APRIL!) chill is tempered by the fact that Duke lost last night. I know, sports as a general proposition are stupid (those 2 hours I spent watching the Nats scratch out their first win of the season is just *yesterday's* example - also, fuck Davey Martinez) but there was something truly gratifying in watching Coach K's perpetually pinched expression, like someone is waving a particularly noxious turd under his nose, transmogrify into his phony, after-the-game-gracious-face, which usually occurs after his team has won, be directed at a coach who bested him. 

Granted, Michigan State is not ~the best~ avatar for amateur sports (their athletic program has had, shall we say, some "issues" lately) but watching the last 10 minutes of that back-and-forth struggle fully expecting Duke to win (as they almost always do) and see them lose instead tasted pretty damn good.
