i see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes, i have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Ah yes, the return of a song lyric. Once in a while I'll bust one out but let's not expect it regularly.

Let's start with the most current. Today my knee was sore as a mother and I wasn't really sure why. I don't think I slept weird and I don't think I banged it against anything. I was sitting in class and it started to bother me. I eventually started poking at it (stabbing would be too graphic a word) with my pen to try and work the pain out a bit. Maybe it's from the weather turning to a shitty cold and rain again. Just a couple of days ago we were blessed with shorts and sleeveless, and today it was back to sweats and hoodies. DAMN YOU NATURE!!!

Also today I had a paper due, which of course means I stayed up last night writing it. Like every good student I waited until the last minute to get my shit done. Supposed to be between 1000 and 1500 words (about 5 pages) across an annotated bibliography and the actual essay. ~700 word bibliography took about 3 hours while a ~1000 word essay took about an hour and a half. Whack how some things work out sometime. Anyways my "topic" if you will was Apocalypse Now Redux, which is where I started but I ended up going into the Vietnam War and touching on the current war in Iraq. Started it around 1:30 a.m. and finished a little bit after 6:00. Got to bed around 7:30 am, woke up 3 hours later, and went to class. Sporty chick wore foundation today I think. Yay.

On Saturday some of us went over to Bay Street to meet Dracus aka Darian. I've never met the dude before but now I am able to put a face to the persona. Thanks for inviting us, and thanks to Tim for hooking up the goodness that is Teacake Bake Shop. Please feel free to check them out if you're ever out there; the treats are really good!

Friday night I went over to Wiz's and finally got around to playing a Nintento Wii. That thing is pretty damn fun. I think so far my faves are boxing and bowling. Oh and I made my Mii, haha. Although it's no where as good as Sosage's Mii, his was really something. Hopefully there will be some online play soon. Oh better yet, hopefully Kevin buys a Wii sooner.

NCAA March Madness has just finished two rounds and it's been pretty fun to watch. I'm going with UCLA to win it all this year. Things aren't looking so good for my bracket though. In my main bracket I was in the 20% range after round one, but fortunately I'm up in the low 60's now and right in the middle of the pack. In my other bracket, the dude that has been in first place the whole time had Stanford beating Louisville in the first round. My goodness. That makes me question whether the guy is just lucky or stupid. Alumni choosing his school falls under stupid. It wouldn't surprise me though. I mean, just look at those Cal fans...

Allow me a moment to share a picture and raise a question. Pretend for a second we didn't know who Lindsay "Firecrotch" Lohan was and that this magazine cover featured a girl nobody knew about. Would you hit it? Or would you hit it only sans freckles? What's this, let her be Lindsay as we know her and still hit it?



The correct answer is yes, haha. Anyhow operating on three hours of sleep here. It's time to hit the sack.
