I went to a Hawks b-ball game the other day. One of the guys from Phil's neighborhood b-ball team (Avory, center) had three tickets. He invited myself and Zach, right, to go. Phil had to work. It was the first game I've been to where the Hawks actually won. They played the Timberwolves. It was exciting. It came down to a miracle pass in the last second of play. I borrowed Phil's Hawks jersey that a friend baught for him. The back says his name, but it's spelled "Philp", not "Philip" like it should be.

I saw "Thank You for Smoking" last night. It was great, in a painfully truthful way. It's about a tobacco lobbyist and his ability to spin the facts around in favor of big tobacco. After the movie I went to "The Mellow Mushroom", with Zach, Mike P, Mike R, John, and Katie Lewis for some pizza. It was fun to hang out with them. There was some deep discussion too. Mike P and I started talking about New Orleans v.s. college : being called v.s. being equiped. It was good to hear opinions from other people. After I got home I smoked a cigar.
