I'm a bit behind on posting about this.  I still think these things get blown out of proportion, but this does give me motivation to wash my hands, especially since I work in a public place.

Swine flu may reach 50% infection rate in Arkansas.

I've only been seriously sick once since moving here, a week long bug that I couldn't kick for the longest ( Read more... )

I went to Applebees to have some fish and chips while watching the Colts pull off a surreal win against the Miami Dolphins.  A happy note as thunderstorms tore through here all night long.  My ever reliable ceiling has been leaking non stop for a few hours now.

I do have something to comment on I suppose ( Read more... )

My lack of faith in the big ten is hurting my bracket..  Oh the irony...

BTW, watching some of the upsets, I've noticed that if you're a lower ranked team looking to be remembered, you're better winning a dramatic close game than actually blowing out the higher ranked school.  Everyone remembers Valparaiso and Bryce Drew's game winning shot, but do ( Read more... )
