Random Quick Thoughts
I have told this story many times, and often no one has believed me, saying it was an urban myth. And yes, this is somewhat distubring.
In other news, I need an idea for a project that has something to do with online/web sites/mobile devices that can "promote healthier living." I know it's broad, i can't do anything about it. It's for a Microsoft collegiate competition called The Imagine Cup.
Can we talk about how much Northeastern University disrespects the ultimate team for a minute? We are trying to get more practice time in over the winter, so we apply for time in Cabot Cage, as that is our only option. We were basically given two times this month: 8-10 this Sunday (yes, during the Super Bowl) and 9:45 - 10:45 February 14th (yes, Valentines Day). I don't even care that much about Valentine's Day; Becky has never celebrated it in her life and with the exception of Phil all the guys on the team are more committed to Ultimate than women anyway (common, you know it's true). The point is, they give us the leftover times that no one else wants. Thank you Northeastern.
Speaking of which, this may be the first time ever that I don't watch the Super Bowl live. One of the team captains is gonna Tivo the game and we're going back to his place after to watch, and I know the game isn't going to be that good (I think it will be a blowout, though I'm not exactly sure which way), AND I don't exactly have a vested interest in the game (read: No bets, No Dolphins). But common! It's the Super Bowl! Yes, that's my entire counter argument... to whatever it is I'm arguing with myself.
A quote from Professor Rasala this morning in my Web Development class on how he teaches using .NET: "I teach this with great pride because their are so many little victories in discovering these things." You might have to know Rasala to appreciate that.
If ever I were to set up two people, it would be Bill Simmon's daughter and Jon Stewart's son. Reason being that the grandchild of the two icons would be the comedic authority on all things sports, pop culture, and politics. This person would have the funniest genes in human history (it's true, scientoligists have proved this). Of course, the current daughter and son are I believe 1 and 1 1/2 years old. Is it to early to be thinking about this sort of thing?
This is what happens when I stop paying attention in class...

Man, even *I* watch the Super Bowl. Carrie and I have our potato chips and dip and our stack of Baby-sitters Club books (for reading during the game) all ready!
