Upon closer examination...

Okay, most of this is going to be about sports, but sports in name only...these are two pretty interesting things I found this week:

Christening the parking lot. If you don't have an NYT account, here's the synopsis: Everybody's favorite husband of a baseball player's wife, Kris Benson, got traded to the Orioles. Was the aforementioned wife, Anna, upset? Of course not. This brings her one step closer to fulfilling her dream of "christening the parking lot" at every major league stadium. Yes, that's an actual quotation. Oh Anna, you classy, classy girl. Read the whole article, it's worth setting up the free account for it.

And while I love to be the grammar police, I found more than one thing suspect about this injury article on Marty Turco. "Marty's a got a bit of a sore, don't know what it is, groin, hamstring, something," Tippett said. "It's just a little tender, and we decided to give him a night off. ... It's more precautionary than anything." Thanks USA Today, for mistranscribing that, but if I focused simply on that, I'd be beating around the bush. They're being pretty ambiguous about his injury, which is uncommon in sports. Does anybody else think Turco should check himself into a hospital under the pseudonym Ron Mexico to check if he has an STD?

So today I start my homework for the semester and watch lots of football. I think I'm going to take it easy, maybe show up at the elmwood for a little bit, but try to keep it a rather light day on the partying front. Gotta stay on the right foot and take calculus for the first time in 5 years this semester. And please, no you + me = us jokes.

Goals for the week are to get my transfer credits FINALLY settled, contact places about part time jobs, and go to the gym three times.

Two more quick notes:

The new strokes CD is dollaz.

You haven't heard music until you've heard Miles Davis play A Night in Tunisia.
