Although the game was not really interesting, Shabtai von Kalmanovic (Spartak owner) presented to us a beautiful All-Star Game (by the way, what did you think about jerseys?!). Actually we have not seen the best ! Guess who was invited to the party??...Kelis !!!!!!! Yes...for real...I'm going to put a picture - don't worry Dee, on this one we can't see you have drunk...yes you have a little bit red cheeks but you don't have any glass in the hand, so no evidence!!! - .
If you are wanting more, it will be necessary to ask Diana : she probably has some pics and why not a video (perhaps directed by Sue ...who will be on Oscars nominee list this year I guess, like Diana, remember, who is nominated in the category "Actress in the last of the supporting cast " for Believe in me ! lol) ??!!
Et voil Dee ...now, you know what to tell in your upcoming article : this party...and your Oscar of course!! ;)
What happens when two constellations collide ??! On the one hand, Dee, Sue, Lauren, Tina, Kelly ; on the other hand, Penny, Tweety, Svetlana, Agnieska (and Sandrine Gruda... she's young, really good and french !! ;)). On January, Spartak won the first game 86-90 with 33 points of... DT !!!!!
To watch here : "http://video.sportbox.ru//Translations/20080304_16_marta_basketbol_c" at 00:10 in Russia (I believe 4:10pm ET in USA?).
I know some of you are wondering how I got these links. The explanation is easy: I'm in possession of Diana’s compromising pics and I blackmail her in order that she gives me links!!! To conclude, you should thank her!! lol
Seriously, in France, women’s basketball is hardly ever broadcast at TV, even Euroleague or international competitions. So I’m in the habit of searching on the internet for the way to watch some games. That leads me to improve my English (for the WNBA) and obviously to discover new languages like Russian! Actually Russian is really easy to understand!!! Demonstration:
Diana Taurasi => Диана Таурази
Spartak Moscow => Спартак Московская
Basketball => Баскетбол … :)
About All Star Game, it’s cool Sue and Becky will take part at the feast too!! Dee, I'd like to say a really important thing to you: March 13th 2008 is a good date for your first dunk!!!! Don’t worry if you are not in the USA, the world will be able to watch it on NBA TV (in live at 9am ET) ! And for the unlucky others who have not the channel or who will not succeed in getting up, I put the link here: http://www.fibaeurope.com/video.asp or http://video.sportbox.ru//Translations/20080303_13_marta_basketbol_m (for the ones who would like to learn to speak Russian ! ;))...so come on baby, spread your wings and fly!!!!
First, congratulations Dee! I did not see the game but I'm sure you played very well and obviously you kept your cool and politely talked to refs!!! lol
