10 Things to Think About on a Friday

So this week I wrapped up the job, went to two-a-day distance running workouts and landed another job. Right. Under. The. Wire. Gainfully employed, I can no go dancing into the sunset of April, welcoming today's May Day festivities. Need some new music this month? I've got you covered. I don't have anywhere to be but practice at 3pm, but if you're stuck in the office til 5, here's a few things you can kill some brain cells with. Happy Friday folks!

1) I loved the ending of the Sopranos on HBO. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to see a full length movie.

2) Twitter keeps making the big headlines. Here in the Bay Area, Brian Wilson and Barry Zito both got themselves in a bit of hot water...Brian Wilson, as a result, is no longer on Twitter. Don't worry though, you can still find Sarah Palin tweeting.

3) Top Gun star Kelly McGillis has come out of the closet. Kinda takes away from that scene knowing that she was probably not all that into it...

4) Looks like Obama is going to get his first crack at naming a Supreme Court justice in his first year in office...David Souter is retiring. Mr. President? He had no comment.

5) Even if you aren't an NBA fan, most people can get excited by the fact that of 6 games between the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls, 4 games have gone to OT, including last night's triple OT. That's 7 OT periods through 6 games. Want more overtime? Game 7 is in Boston on Saturday.

Speaking of Saturday, check out this sports line-up: Kentucky Derby, Boston v. Chicago game 7, Manny Pacquiao v. Ricky Hatton. Even those not into boxing will want to watch the fight after they check out HBO's four part mini-series (available On Demand) Pacquiao/Hatton 24/7.

6) I love JoePa over at Penn State...a true icon of college football. He's now pushing for the Big 10 to expand to 12 teams. Visionary.

7) If you're looking for some free new hip-hop, here's Del's Funk Man.

8) The fight raging over the BCS and a college football playoff is raging in Congress. We want playoffs, Obama wants playoffs, isn't there a way to make the playoffs the bowl games?

9) It's Follow Friday. @spookygrimm @alankhalfin @dynamics @pdxblazersftw @azavi big ups yourself!

10) And for those we can't follow, I'm wondering when we're going to see @jenglace @mcella @chengj @hessica @kalice and @emilisq take on the world of Twitter.

Cheers folks, and remember, dry your hair before you go out in the rain.
