A Couple Things XV

-- this week has to end soon. by Sunday I'll have wrote nine stories this week. And not some rinky-dink joints either. It's nuts.

-- I got a lot of ideas swirling around the newsroom right now. They should turn into some interesting stories. People told me that you might get handcuffed here at the Times, but I'm finding it to be the exact opposite.

-- Esquire chose Jessica Beal as the sexiest woman alive. I gotta concur with that, provided that you understand I'm looking at it as if I were a white man. But Beal is hot. I can't front on that. Are there a slew of other celebrities I'd choose over her? Yes. But Esquire was gonna choose a white woman and I can't say that I'd have gone another route given those restrictions. She's shapely, she's got full lips, she's pretty and she's not on the cocaine-n-barf diet.

But her greatest contribution to society was playing the mark for lil man Ryan Pinkston's coming out party on Punk'd...when he told her that she should 'show a little more skin.' it was heavy.

-- i'm not saying anything NBA-related until I look into a couple things. I may have a cool announcement in about a month, but we'll see.
