Even though I’m surly today, this article about the pain and joy of the Christmas season put a smile on my face. My joy, age 8: getting a Cabbage Patch kid and therefore gaining admittance to Carrie Van Hoosier’s “Cabbage Patch Club” (the little bitch had eight of ’em). My pain: mine had glasses. I know Mom was trying to make me feel good about myself and all, but I just felt like a big nerd who had a big nerd of a doll. I still got in the damn club though.
GAHHHH
ARGH! After that whole friggin’ apology, I find out that the site’s damn FTP server is down! GRRR. I’ll blog anyway and upload everything if/when it comes up.
Sorry!
Okay, okay. I know I haven’t posted in FOREVER. I know that the website is horribly OUT-OF-DATE. And I know that the Blog Archive is completely BUGGERED. I’m sorry! Following the whirlwind trek to the Weasel Reunion, I had to haul ass here to get ready for my sister’s long-awaited London visit. So I’ve been on holiday for a week, and now that I’m back at work I’ve had tons of crap to do. BUT… Hopefully today I’ll be able to do some work on this stuff. I’ll try. You’ll see. 🙂
Jersey kids
Bob says of the Rutgers victory this weekend: “We’ve got some Jersey kids and we’d like to get more.”
Purdue
Purdue’s going to the Rose Bowl. Big whoop. (My mom goes there though, so I have to give her team small props.)
Helmets > Gators
Woohoo! It appears our late voting surge pushed Notre Dame’s “Painting of the Helmets” to the top in the Semifinal Tourney of Traditions at ESPN. Next week we take on Florida and that RIDICULOUS Gator Chomp. Remind everybody you know to vote!
Michigan sucks
A senior from Siegfried wants to get Martin Sheen as his commencement speaker. Apparently that episode of “The West Wing” was a big hit on campus. I quote, “Anyone who would say ‘Michigan sucks’ twice on a prime time program deserves some sort of reward.” *giggle*
Basketball
Looks like the new Men’s Basketball Coach is trying to win over the students. Let’s see if he plays Bookstore Basketball though…
Quiz
Guess The Dictator/Sit-Com Character v2.0. Kel insists that this is blog-worthy… and I have to agree with her. 🙂
Correction
Whoops! Josh Kirley is NOT who I thought he was! He is, in fact, “Uncle” Jimmy’s nephew. Huh. I thought he was the bald guy. *grin* (Thanks, Kel, for the correction.)
