Thieves and the Manic Pixie Dream Girl

Lately I've been listening to the current Queen of Quirk, Zooey Deschanel. She hasn't got a remarkable voice but most of her tunes are okay. Some have turned out really rather well. Like this.



Considering that she writes most of her original material and that she's known primarily as an actress, I'd say that she's one pretty talented lady.

the Boston Celtics Ad Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett



The final act to mark the end of the second Big Three era.

Pierce will always be remembered as a Celtic. Garnett will be remembered for bringing an NBA title to Boston by holding the team accountable for their play. Pierce is definitely getting his jersey number retired in Boston; as for Garnett, the chances of his number being retired are pretty high. In my opinion, both would be highly deserved.

It's telling that the Boston Celtics management did not take out ads to thank either Ray Allen or Doc Rivers. Both will be remembered for their roles in Banner 17, but their departures from the Celtics were on their terms. Unlike Pierce and Garnett.
