back before the red sox beat the yankees and went on to win the world series last year i said that if there were one team besides the yankees i wouldn't want to win the championship, i said it'd definitely be the red sox.  i cringed at the potential for a red sox/cubs world series in previous years because i knew at least one of the cursed teams ( Read more... )

it's raining again.  just when i start to get used to warm and sunny, it stops.  oh well,  soon enough it will be 90 and 90.  it's baseball season, but i haven't gotten into much yet.  alabama's team is doing surprisingly well, but i haven't made it to a game yet.  i wanted to last week, but it got rained out, of course.  i've been watching some ( Read more... )

ah, so spring has broke. as the case has been since 8th grade, i'm sitting at home in birmingham for practically all of spring break. not really a big deal, though. i have managed to keep myself busy thus far and i can't imagine running out of unproductive things to do anytime soon. i have rediscovered playstation2 thanks to a two year out of ( Read more... )

three things to be happy/thankful for:
1. this weekend's visit from nashville and auburn's finest.  patrick also came, but he cannot be associated with a city until he picks one that he isn't too cool for ( Read more... )

a great weekend has just passed and a very busy week ensues, to be followed by a brief respite, followed by what is sure to be a stressful week.  to elaborate:

i went to atlanta this weekend for the SEC basketball tournament.  i was on my way there when the news broke about the guy that shot and killed three people in an atlanta courtroom, then ( Read more... )

i decided to give a shot to death from above 1979.  it made me drive back to tuscaloosa at a high speed a little while ago.  pretty good for now, but i doubt it's something i'll be listening to with great frequency for months and years to come.  that's ok, though ( Read more... )

it's raining outside, but i'm inside, so it doesn't really matter.  sunday night is a good night for television.  the simpsons, desperate housewives and boston legal make it worth my while.  ever since college started, i haven't kept up with television beyond sportscenter on a consistant basis.  sure, there have been temporary obsessions with who ( Read more... )

i never knew this:

Pope Gregory abolished leap years for every year that is evenly divisible by 100, except those that are evenly divisible by 400. (So, the year 2000 had an extra day, but 1900 didn't and 2100 won't, either.)

taken from here.

it's nice to be sitting at home with my feet propped with the tv on.  the apartment is empty, except for me, so it's all peace and quiet, except for the tv.  it's been a pretty good day and a pretty good week.  i have a finance test on monday and an economics test next thursday.  that will end the good times, for sure.  i went to the rec today, so ( Read more... )

i'm about to go to bed.  yes, it's fairly early, but it's raining, i have a headache and any fires i set over the course of the day have been safely extinguished.  i make that sound like there were many problems a'brewin', but there weren't.  basically, an all-round boring day with gray skies and drizzle.  i played basketball at the rec for 2 hours ( Read more... )
