Should this Surprise Me or Not?

Exposing Myself, part 2

I buy all my clothes at Target and I'm not ashamed to admit it.  I just bought a polo, button up, and some nice slacks for a grand total of $58.  I don't even remember the last item of clothing I bought that wasn't from Target.  They fit great, look great, and are cheap...not unlike myself!

Getting closer to the end

OK, so I removed my last post in an effort to protect the innocent. But rest assured that, if you didn't see it, you didn't miss anything too exciting.

In other news, my 3L year is 3 1/2 weeks in and it's fun and boring and annoying all at the same time. The clinic is awesome because it makes me feel like an actual lawyer; and, since I am provisionally licensed, technically I am a lawyer...for now. My earliest class starts at 1:40 so my mornings (like today) are filled with The Price is Right and scrambled eggs.

The most important thing right now, though, is that football is back. I just love it so much! And pretty soon the Jazz will be back on, and that is basically what my life revolves around. So much so that I am getting League Pass so that I can watch every second of every game :)

And thanks to Ma for sending the zucchini bread, it is the BEST!

Pretty sure the cameras need to be IN FRONT of the backstop or at least to the side.

MSNBC = FAIL.

I Weep for the Future

From a poll on CNN.com's front page.

Granted it is unscientific, but still...43%!?

Cheaters

So, the age limit for Olympic gymnastics is 16, you can't be younger than that. Someone please explain how this girl made it to the arena...

Why my Mom ROCKS

Mom sends me packages about once a month which normally include some kind of delicious concoction like choc chip cookies or Mormon magic (as the roommate calls it). This last package was different though...

First, the Costco Brownie Bites (cheaper and easier than real brownies, and, while not quite as good as real brownies, they're likely packed with preservatives which help it survive through the mail).

Next is the chocolate frosting in a ziploc bag.


And finally, the pièce de résistance, the chocolate sprinkles.

A bite of chocolate goodness...

Thanks Ma!

This is Where my Brain Goes

So there I am, right? Running at the park, minding my own business, rocking out to some Kanye. My mind is wandering and i start focusing on my feet. I was trying to run to the beat and I thought, "I can either increase my pace or my stride." You know what I thought of next? That's kinda how radio waves work. AM vs FM. AM is amplitude modulation, like lengthening your stride. FM is frequency modulation, like increasing your pace. Should I be worried that my mind immediately went to the nerdiest thing possible?

Dear Dad...

Remember when I was talking about cooking country style ribs in the crock-pot, and I mentioned that it needs something? Well, your suggestion of a dry rub then a quick sear first was pretty much the greatest BBQ advice I've ever gotten! They are better tasting and more tender!

Annoyance

Underdogs

After watching the ESPYS you have to wonder what some of the nominees are feeling. For example, the nominees for best team were: the New York Giants, the Boston Red Sox, the Boston Celtics, the Detroit Red Wings, the Kansas Jayhawks, and....the Tennessee LADY VOLUNTEERS! I wonder what the Vegas odds were for a women's college bball team to win "best team," 10,000-1? 100,000-1? I bet the odds weren't very good for the men's college team, the Jayhawks, either. How about being a "minor" sport? A female skiier was nominated for best female athlete, a female tennis player was up against Adrian Peterson in Best Breakthrough Athlete, a track and field athlete was up against Brett Favre for best record breaking performance, and the 2 most anticipated categories: Best Male/Female Action-Sports Athlete, and Best Bowler. (Just for the record, Norm Duke won for best bowler...so there you go.) Don't get me wrong, I love all sports (except soccer...BORING!) but to put some of these people in these categories, it's like nominating Michael Bay with Scorsese and Coppola.

I was pleastantly surprised at how good a job Timberlake did hosting, although the Memphis/Kansas thing got a little tired. The best moment was probably Will Ferrell and John C Reilly making demands requests in order to be the hosts of the show ("I want to play 18 holes of golf with Tiger Woods...on the moon.") All in all it was a great way to spend my Sunday evening, especially in HD.
