From "The Eleventh Hour" (episode 5.01):
[The Doctor has crashed the TARDIS into Amelia's backyard. He climbs out of the (now-horizontal) door...]
Amelia: Are you OK?
The Doctor: Just had a fall, all the way down there right to the library. Hell of a climb back up.
Amelia: You're soaking wet.
The Doctor: I was in the swimming pool.
Amelia: You said you were in the library.
The Doctor: So was the swimming pool.

Veronica: Okay, stop, I was shown a diagram once. I know how it works. But you knew, and you didn't tell me?
Duncan: This has nothing to do with us.
Veronica: [sarcastically] Oh, no. Nothing? Your secret illegitimate child gestating in the womb of your comatose ex-girlfriend affects neither you nor me.

Good News, Not-Bad-Yet News
I was really bummed that the UConn/Notre Dame game wasn't going to be nationally televised, since the last one was so exciting. I was actually a little worried that UConn was going to lose, since Notre Dame was one of the few teams to really challenge them. When I got home I checked my computer and found that UConn won -- 78 to 57! I guess I shouldn't have worried...
Since UConn's loss to Stanford, UConn has been ranked #2. (Baylor -- who only lost to UConn by one point -- has been #1.) Tonight, however, while UConn was dominating #7 Notre Dame, Baylor was losing to unranked Texas Tech. It's pretty unlikely they'll keep their #1 spot!
In Storm news (or not-news, really), Swin Cash hasn't made up her mind yet. I will be very sad if she signs with another team.
On a happier note: Swin Cash was in L.A. for the NBA All-Star game, and she did some charity stuff with other current and former WNBA stars. Here's a picture she tweeted of her, Sheryl Swoopes, Marion Jones, and Tamika Catchings.

Quote of the Day: Mila Kunis
Actress Mila Kunis (That 70's Show, Black Swan) immigrated to America from the Soviet Union when she was seven. This is from a recent interview in "W" magazine:
Question: What was the first thing you remember seeing of America?
Mila Kunis: A black man. It was at the American embassy [in Moscow], and all I had known were Caucasian people with blond hair, brunette hair, and sometimes red hair. You’re never really taught about anything else. I think I was frightened. And the beautiful thing was, the man spoke Russian. He explained to me that there are people in this world who are of different color. Being seven and a half, I asked him, “Does that mean there are purple people in this world?”
[I found the quote here.]

Random Storm-ness
Abby Bishop has decided not to return to the Storm next season. She says she wants to stay in Australia to prepare for the 2012 Olympics. I would think playing in the WNBA, alongside fellow Australian National Team members Lauren Jackson, Erin Phillips, and Belinda Snell would be good training for the Olympics, but what do I know?
Diana Taurasi has been cleared of the drug charges, but this article caught my eye for a different reason: The picture at the top. In the picture Diana Taurasi is guarding Seattle's Tanisha Wright. Something about the scene looked familiar to me. Specifically, it looked to me to be from that game-winning play in the Western Conference Finals. (The one where Sue Bird hit the three-pointer. Starting at 6:05 in this video.) At first I thought that was just because I've watched that game a lot, but then I looked in the background and saw the Storm's bench players standing, with their arms around each other. I was right!
In the comments on the "Sue Bird is #6" article, someone named "pilight" wrote "Bird is the best PG in WNBA history. She’s not the MVP, she made her teammate the MVP. That’s what a PG is supposed to do." I thought that was a nice description of Sue Bird.
Speaking of that Top 20 list, I decided to figure out how many players each team had on the list. Assuming I'm correct about the Top 5, here's what I came up with (assuming everybody plays for the team they played for in 2010):
Phoenix Mercury = 3 (Dupree, Taurasi, Taylor)
Seattle Storm = 3 (Bird, Cash, Jackson)
Indiana Fever = 2 (Catchings, Douglas)
Minnesota Lynx = 2 (Augustus, Whalen)
Washington Mystics = 2 (Beard, Langhorne)
L.A. Sparks = 2 (Parker, Thompson)
San Antonio Silver Stars = 2 (Hammon, Young)
Atlanta Dream = 1 (McCoughtry)
Chicago Sky = 1 (Fowles)
Connecticut Sun = 1 (Charles)
New York Liberty = 1 (Pondexter)
Tulsa Shock = 0

Only Lauren Is Left....
Slam Online is doing a "Top 20 Best WNBA Players" list.
Swin Cash is #12.
Sue Bird (announced this week) is #6.
Of Seattle's "big three", that just leaves Lauren Jackson. Where will she be? I would assume #3 or higher, but I'll guess I'll have to wait and see...
I've been trying to figure out who the top five will be. LJ, of course. Tamika Catchings, Diana Taurasi, and Cappie Pondexter for sure. But that's only four. Who am I missing? The author says he's projecting for the 2011 season, so maybe Maya Moore? Oh! Duh. Candace Parker will be back next season. I'll bet she's the last of the "top 5".
Podcasts for the list can be found here.

Heh. Little Did They Know...
This article, written on August 16, 2010, discusses the Storm's regular seasons success. In a paragraph about Sue Bird, it says:
"Bird might not be reeling off as many of the game-winning shots as she did last season, but she continues to light up the fourth quarter, her penchant for picking up her teammates late in games as evident as it’s ever been. And while Bird may not be nailing the buzzer beaters that nail down her team’s wins, she’s hitting the baskets that trim five- or four-point deficits to two or one."
Little did they that Sue Bird would hit two game-winning shots in the playoffs!

"Coach," Geno was baited during the postgame press conference, "do you think that referees discriminate against certain players?"
"Yes I do," he said. "I think they discriminate against players who commit stupid fouls."

Not Quite as Predicted
The Massey Ratings website predicted UConn would beat West Virginia 72-52.
West Virginia scored 51, so they were close there. However, the prediction seriously underestimated West Virginia's defense: They held UConn to 57.
An ugly game. UConn was behind for the first half, though they pulled to within two by halftime. They pulled ahead shortly into the second, and -- other than a few ties -- stayed ahead for the rest of the game.

[In a production of "Love's Labour's Lost"..]
I played the character with perhaps the best description in all of Shakespeare's dramatis personae: 'Don Adriano de Armado, a fantastical Spaniard.' Only I wasn't a fantastical Spaniard. For some reason, whenever I attempt Spanish it comes out as Russian or Italian, or a bastard hybrid of the two. I can manage a Mexican accent acceptably, so my Armado was an inexplicably fantastical Mexican.

Quote of the Day: John Walters
From The Same River Twice:
[Villanova coach Harry] Perretta has seen it all. The best player he ever coached, Shelley Pennefather, is now a cloistered nun. Villanova's career scoring and rebounder leader, Pennefather won the 1987 Wade Trophy, which is given to the nation's top collegiate female player. She was a three-time Big East Player of he Year. Today she lives in an abbey in Alexandria, Virginia.
In 1991 Pennefather, now known as Sister Rose Marie, entered the order of the Poor Clare nuns, taking vows of chastity, poverty, obedience, and enclosure. She has virtually no contact with the secular world. Once a year she is permitted to have visitors but can only talk to them from across a screened partition.
The first time Perretta visited Sister Rose Marie, in 1991, the Wildcats were in the midst of an exasperating 11-17 season. Cloistered life was looking good to him. "I'm coming over the wall!" he cried.
"Maybe," said Sister Rose Marie, who may have also taken a vow of sarcasm, "God meant for you to be a mediocre basketball coach."

Quote of the Day: Swish Appeal
Yesterday UConn (#2) played Duke (#3). Everyone expected a tightly contested game.
It was a blow-out. UConn dominated, wining 87-51.
From Swish Appeal's review of the game:
"Key statistic: It's really hard to win games if you shoot 15% in the first half."
The first half was particularly horrible for Duke. The score at halftime was 41-15. It took them over five minutes to score a basket. (Which made it 15-2.) And here's some fun numbers from the first half:
Duke team: 15 points, 11 boards, 1 assist
Maya Moore: 16 points, 6 boards, 3 assists

The first half was particularly horrible for Duke. The score at halftime was 41-15. It took them over five minutes to score a basket. (Which made it 15-2.) And here's some fun numbers from the first half:
Duke team: 15 points, 11 boards, 1 assist
Maya Moore: 16 points, 6 boards, 3 assists
