Hey Hey

The Pistons just took Game 7, to go into the Finals. This was clearly the best game of the series, and I feel like both teams can be extraordinarily proud of the way they played. Dwayn Wade is the real deal, he's certainlty the best of Shaq's running partners, even this early in his career. The rib injury will be used by Pistons critics to say that the Heat weren't full strength, but injuries happen, you play with what you've got.

There were a couple of interesting things in last nights show. One- Light in the Piazza looks totally fabulous and timeless, and I thought, given that it actually won more Tony's than Spamalot, that it might win. Alas, it was not to be, but Spamalot also looks like a fabulous show that deserved the honor. I was gratified that Bill Irwin won for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and the reaction of his castmates. I can't imagine what it's like to be in a small cast like that on Broadway and how close things have to be between these people. When you see how much cast's support each other, its really amazing, and its what makes theatre great.

It was also gratifying, to use Laura's word, to see the amount of people, like the winner for choreography, and the winner for best actress in a play, who thanked their partners. Then there was tear-inducing sight of Edward Albee paying tribute to his just deceased partner. It was very touching, and if Middle America chose to focus more on the Cagelles than these touching moments, they have a screw loose.

The real winner last night had to be Edina Menzel, because she's a winner every night. She get's to go home to Taye Diggs. She's really attractive too, though. The serious issue, though, is that they've gotten hate mail because of their marriage. That's incredibly sad.

Its kind of fun watching women's softball. Michigan is in the Women's College World Series, and its so interesting to watch, because its totally different than baseball. Everything favors the defense. The pitchers not far away, and they throw incredibly hard, and its hard to hit anything called a "riseball." The bases are only 60 feet, but most of the time the defense is in so tight its hard to do anything. It was also interesting watching Lacrosse Memorial Day weekend, just because, again, its a cool sport that's fun to watch because its different.
