The Annotated Fan

42 - Elizabeth Harvest

Possible weirdo horror. It’s some kind of sci-fi version of the tale of Bluebeard.

I guess figuring rotations out is a lot easier when you don’t have to make active choices…

It’s absolute torture seeing how DA is fumbling this. When the Nuggets were a damn hospital wing I was sure he was going to be in the running for COTY.

Somehow more bodies has just proven anything positive we were taking away from his performance was more or less a consequence of circumstance.

On a slightly lighter note. The Joker Rule is once again triggered as we got another triple double from Jokic.

Range of the list is now 1-878

Pick a number and I’ll live with the results for my bonus watch. #MileHighBasketball

Another huge bummer for the Nuggets in a marquee matchup. Straight up not having a good time.

That first quarter was already a full Nuggets experience in miniature form.

They race out to a lead and get you to wonder if they are about to steamroll.

Then they start to cave on D and you think they are gonna GET steamrolled.

Finally they stabilize enough to let you know it’s gonna be rough.

It’s another showdown with OKC. That calls for a prime time matchup.

Blank Check just started their Peter Weir series so I’m doing a special rewatch rewind w/ two of my favorites of his.

Nuggets win - The Truman Show

Nuggets lose - Dead Poets Society

How Colorado's deadline splash helps remaining roster find clarity The Colorado Avalanche landed the 'biggest fish' at the deadline. Yet for some, surviving the day could be a reset.

My latest for Mile High Sticking looks beyond the massive deadline day deal and examines deeper ways the best team in hockey might have just gotten sparked. #GoAvsGo

Hamnet was indeed very good and Jessie Buckley will probably win best actress.

I have always been a fireworks skeptic.. but my dad’s birthday is the 3rd so I know he lived an adolescence where people thought it was smart to give him fireworks as a gift.

Like.. cool. So you think it will be neat when it explodes?

He instilled that attitude in me without even trying.

A military draft to go to Iran for a war of a baby man’s whim is psychotic work.

Almost like stopping him at any of the thousands of points of prior inflection should have been considered.

Huskers win in OT and finish their best basketball regular season ever.

I know March Madness is basically the most random sporting event but I’m still so pumped for these guys.

Well, the power play woes are still very real and annoying.

But on the other hand — a second straight shootout win against our two biggest foes? That’s the good stuff!!

An extra point on the standings lead is also nice. #GoAvsGo

Nate Dogg calls game in the extra round of the shootout! #GoAvsGo

Predictable but poopy that when Minnesota doesn’t like the reffing they can lobby and see results in fast whistles..

But last time these two teams matched up it was a veritable sideshow of lopsided officiating

Double new guy points on that goal! Roy from Kulak! #GoAvsGo

The *other , less obvious thing about having a garbage PP unit is that teams don’t fear you on it so they play even more on the borderline between aggressive and dirty.

Nothing like a SHG to make the blood boil. #GoAvsGo

Bah. Tie game on a PPG from Minnesota.

Let’s see if we can get it back on our own man advantage.. #GoAvsGo

MacKinnon scores!! Assist to Naz. Colorado takes the lead in the second. #GoAvsGo

If movie tix were less expensive I’d be considering a double feature tonight with The Bride.

About this.. consider the women this society actually seems to give you permission to admire

It usually reads like a textbook and feels decidedly ‘historical’

Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman , even Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton are now ‘ okay to admire ‘ among liberal men.. but it remains shallow

Somehow we need to understand that the absolutely brain dead sexist standard is designed to keep the focus of ‘ important people ‘ narrow and intentionally male

Even the women that our incel coded intelligentsia seems to approve of only gets updated like every 50 years and stays political in scope

I STILL encounter this bullshit as an adult where if talk about all the bands I love led by women I’ll get weird looks from people I’ve known for years.

The same goes for directors, authors , and athletes.

For real. This isn’t just an famous men problem this is a universal one.

But men not being able to admire women for their own sake and their multitude of achievements is the WORST kind of cultural failure.

MFs grow up in the United States thinking it’s ‘ gay ‘ to admire women as people.

Avs have an early start in another big divisional showdown against the Wild and we are rocking with more Oscar noms.

Avs win - Hamnet

Avs lose - The Secret Agent

#GoAvsGo

The universe hates ethical hoops. This is what SGA ascendency tells us..

But I will never fully give up hope with Jokic in a Nuggets uniform.

You think you are seeing ghosts but it’s just the Nuggets roster all fitted in various casts.

Legit the worst injury luck I’ve witnessed in 30 years of sports sicko life.

The revolving door of team torture.

Thank goodness for the Avs because this Nuggets game is an abomination..
