1. Death Cab fans: check out the "short film" inspired by Death Cab's Your Heart Is An Empty Room. Apparently the guy who animated the video/film is the same guy who wrote the song, which is neat even though I wasn't really a fan of this track. Turns out Death Cab is releasing a dvd of short vids/films/whatevers that were inspired by Plans. They're gonna be showing one vid a week on their website (this is the first one) until the release of the dvd. I eagerly await Summer Skin and What Sarah Said.
2. The Yankees have, no lie, sent me at least 6 press notes/packets since Spring Training started two weeks ago. They kill me. It's SPRING TRAINING. What are you issuing press notes for? And never you mind why I'm set up to receive NYY press notes. That's neither here nor there. The point is, I'm set up to receive press notes for 5 teams, and the Yankees are the only busybodies sending them out during spring training.
3. The Orioles play the Marlinstomorrow Thursday. Your guess is as good as mine as to who will suck less.
4. Snurched from [Bad username or site: piney61 / @ livejournal.com], this is kinda interesting, for what such things are worth: SI Players Poll - "Would You Welcome An Openly Gay Teammate?"
There's no information on how the poll was conducted (were the players asked this question over the phone? were the survey-givers male or female? were answers somehow given anonymously?). And I wonder how different the numbers would have been if the question had simply asked if players could accept an openly gay teammate, as opposed to asking if they'd welcome one. I'm actually a little surprised by the MLB results - 62% is a pretty strong showing for 'welcome' language, if you ask me. You see stuff like this, but then you see other stuff, so who knows. It is what it is. Who knows what any of it really means.
5. Spring Break, in like, 4 days. Whoo.
