so i get this text message from the chief letting me know that the dodgers win their division against cross-town rivals san fran. sweetness. funny that he mentions depodesta may have known what he was doing. i still submit that they won in spite of his mess rather than as a result. . .but then again, you know my success in sports predictions this year.
so i'm at mbyers house watching northwestern own ohio state (notice the new poll), and one of the commentators announces nugent as a heisman contender. i just laugh, but apparently he was serious. so this starts the conversation about whether a place kicker actually deserves it. . .and since nugent has most of the buckeye's points, he is (arguably) their "best player". then in ot when he shanks the kick and they lose, another commentator says "and you were going to give him a heisman?" as much of a fan as i am, i have said all season that they weren't good enough to be in the top 10. last night proved that. my prediction is that purdue will win the big 10. iowa won yesterday, but they aren't as good as i previously thought.
my students crack me up. one thinks i only have 2 responses to any statement: 1) wow or 2) nice. she is forgetting 3) hala and 4) really?
so we are going over the plagues in class. . .one of the choices was the plauge of cats and the question comes up, "were cats part of the curse on adam and eve?" hmmm. . . perhaps i should post my list of "why i hate cats".
most recent fun with windows xp powertoys. they are sultan. . .especially multiple desktops and alt-tab preview.
the new kid tasted rice for the first time this week. perhaps sometime i should explain the significance of this.
presidential debate this past week was basically a waste of time. no one's mind is changed. bush tries to explain why his opponent (who will remain unnamed for numerous reasons) is "unfit for command" while his oppoenent continues his pathological lying tendencies and repeatedly shows his own inconsistencies. amazing that people can find anything worth voting for in this guy. tis a shame that most people don't know how to think for themselves. this is my only explanation.
more later. . .
peace and java
