I am defeated. (far beyond frustrated)
Beginning to remember how small this thing is. Will have to come to terms with that.
I am completely slipping. Missed yet another extremely relevant conversation about library technology. :/
I am also missing a lot of changes out there in the profession with people I used to know. - Julian
Purposely writing at this hour to reduce the chance that anyone I might know (unlikely to be anyone, these days) will see this. - Julian
"This hour"? It's 8:30 hereabouts. We always miss relevant conversations, no matter how hard we try. If they're relevant *enough*--they'll come around again. - Walt Crawford
San Jose State might want to consider giving up football. They have thought about it in the past.
Seeing parallels between Julie Mayer and Rihanna.
Just watched the end of the film adaptation of Robert Cormier's novel _The Chocolate War_. Yet another film or TV series featuring a member of the cast of Lost.
Glad I took a nap this afternoon (though I missed the early football games). Gives me all night to work.
Cincinnati looks really good tonight. Sadly, if they win this game, the pollsters will collude, and make sure they drop in the BCS rankings. Expect USC to move up a few spots.
Well, I was mostly right about that. Cincinnati stayed at #5, and TCU jumped them (they're now #4). USC is once again the highest-ranked Pac-10 team at #9... four spots ahead of Oregon (who beat them, and has the same record). - Julian
I love the price of today's Woot: $13.37.
The bill passed in the House. Predictably, right along party lines.
Nobody covers this kind of thing better (?) than Fox News. - Julian
There's now a ShamWow remix. Much better than the Slap Chop remix.
Now includes the ShamWow mop. - Julian
I'm thinking that the only reason I'm able to currently watch a game being broadcast from the Kibbie Dome is that the point spread players out there need some action to make up for losses earlier in the day, in order to have a better bankroll for more point spread plays on NFL action. That, or Idaho doesn't suck this year.
A late touchdown makes it a two-point deficit. Let's hope for a miracle.
No miracle tonight. That makes UConn 4-5 on the season. Five losses by a total of fifteen points (two by two points, one by three points, and two by four points). That's an average of a field goal difference in every loss. I really miss #6. - Julian
that's tough to deal with. my team K-State has made a dramatic turn around this year. Beating our instate rival made today extra sweet. - Satan thinks ur awesome
I'm glad the Big East put on a great show for its debut on ABC's Saturday Night Football. Hopefully, there will be more appearances in prime time in the future.
:( Looks like that's the game. Bearcats 47, Huskies 38. Less than two minutes to go.
Without question, this has been Cincinnati's toughest game all season. UConn's, too. How in the world did we lose four games by a total of 13 points prior to tonight? - Julian
After missing the two-point conversion, UConn trails Cincinnati 40-38. That's right... we've outscored the Bearcats 28-10 in the second half. Still in it...
We're not done yet. Bearcats 40, Huskies 32.
I don't think Notre Dame is going to be able to handle Jordan Todman. I'm still wondering how we lost four games already. - Julian
Barring a huge comeback by my Huskies, this one's about done. I should commend Brent and Kirk for staying focused on the game they're covering, and for not taking the opportunity to talk about the teams most people watching think actually matter.
Halftime. Cincinnati 30, UConn 10. Our worst losses this year were by four points (twice). The Bearcats must really be as good as their record suggests.
Bootsy Collins. That is all.
While driving around central Maryland today, visiting three public libraries in three different counties, I spotted a giant inflatable Brutus Buckeye on someone's front lawn. This was along Ridge Road in Damascus, Maryland.
Brent and Kirk definitely needed to study their UConn media guide a bit more prior to this game.
I bet a bunch of people here in the east turned on ABC, and wondered why they're watching some basketball schools trying to play football, instead of seeing USC, Penn State, or Oklahoma.
Pizza? Check. Beer? Check. T-shirt representing my favorite team? Check. I'm ready for the game. Go Dogs! Beat the Cats!
UConn vs. Cincinnati, on ABC. Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreit calling the game. - Julian
For the first time since homecoming, we didn't give up the opening kickoff return for a TD. The Bearcats took a knee for a touchback. - Julian
... but we're probably about to give up a touchdown on the opening drive. [7-0 Cats] - Julian
The girl beat the boys.
Next up is retiring to have kids. - Julian
Before I start getting hate responses -- I'm talking about Zenyatta. - Julian
If it had been an undefeated male horse that had won the Breeders' Cup Classic, then retirement definitely wouldn't suck. (Those who know the horse racing game would get this.) - Julian
Today: Wash car; get oil changed; make a road trip to return books (one overdue -- oops); watch football (go Huskies!).
I wouldn't want to mess with Elizabeth Lambert. Glad I don't have a ponytail.
She has a career playing for West Ham ahead of her. - Chris Z.
Passed out while working on something last night. Didn't come close to finishing. Hope the same doesn't happen tonight.
Missed the end of the football game, too. Boise held on. - Julian
I have less than 30 minutes to spend over a billion dollars. In Monopoly money.
Spent just about all of it, and bought two streets I had had my eye on for a long time. - Julian
Sometimes, it's tough to turn things off. Wish I didn't need sleep. Need more time. So much I want and need to do. *sigh*
