question

first and ten on the twelve, fourteen seconds on the clock, no time outs, no open receivers. do you:

a) spike it

b) spike it

c) spike it

d) try and make run for it against the number two rush defense in the pac 10 because you're the second string quarterback and that makes you invincible

we had two weeks to prepare, and this is all we have to show for it? c'mon tedford, you can do better than that. i know everyone says you're too conservative and want to see more gutsy calls, but that was just stupid. a field goal would've put us into overtime. oh well. number one cal had a nice ring to it. i swear, if we have to play in the holiday bowl again, i'm gonna be pissed. bumped into some peninsula alums at the game; that was cool. go panthers!

a craptastic week is (finally) coming to an end. just waiting for a lift from the raiders tomorrow.

and now for the video of the day: (lyrics here)

can't sleep...

if you know who stephen fry is, you'll get a kick out of this.



if you don't know who stephen fry is, watch as he hosts the greatest quiz show EVER.

and because it's raining cats and dogs...

oddly enough i'm not happy right now, for a myriad of reasons, not least of which is the fact that the performance of king lear that i was watching (starring ravi kapoor aka crossing jordan's "bug" in the role of edmund) was rained out midway through the second act. i suppose this would be more representative of my current state of mind:

because there's a f***ing h in it

the funny part isn't the fact that he's in drag; he does that all the time. i'm sure it was funny the first couple hundred times, but now i think he does it because if he doesn't he'll be pelted with tomatoes. either that or he really likes it.

a case of you

OMFG U SUCK

i think that just about says it all. to give it a little perspective, at the end of last week, tom dienhart of the sporting news made the following comment at the end of his week 5 awards:

they shoot horses, don't they? stanford at usc

and here's the best headline i saw out of all the newspapers in the racks:



i never thought i'd say this, but way to go furd! (now go lose out the season...)

i'm as big a celeb gossip whore as anyone, which is why this video really hit me hard. i'm still a gossip whore, but now i feel bad about some of it. not all. *some*. because some people just deserve to be laughed at.



ps for those of you wondering if i went crazy on that last post, no, i didn't. i already was crazy. that quote was off a bumper sticker being sold at the alternative press expo. it caught my eye because 1) it sounds cool and 2) i like corn dogs. i don't like corn. but i like corndogs. go figure.

life is like a corn dog.

i don't know why, it just is.

in other news, the cw cancelled veronica mars. the cw sucks. in fact, all network tv companies suck. and record companies too, for that matter. you have to be the best selling product out there or else you get kicked to the curb. whatever happened to just being good?

i got a b in english 1b! a friggin' b!!! the last nail is in the coffin of my undergraduate career. now i just have to wait for the stupid diploma...

a woman after my own heart...

at least we're not being shutout...

"from birth, all we ever truly want is for people to love us. whether we're black or white, businessmen or crack whores, satanic lesbians or self-mutilating homophobes, barbara streisand or gary coleman. it's what makes the world go round. so if you're out there, david duchovny, why won't you love me? why?" - jerry springer

if all the world's a stage, then i want to operate the trap door...

i just bought tickets to six different theatre productions. i needed one shakespeare play for class, and i ended up booking shows for a month and a half. i feel so...cultured. like cheese. only not as smelly.

cal football season tickets came in the mail today :-)

metros i've been on:

Got at b3co.com!

munich has an s/u-bahn like berlin, but they use the same symbols. lazy germans. i've also been on light rail systems in leipzig and rostock (germany), and long beach and san jose. and the monorail in las vegas. and seattle. and disneyland...

music meme thingie

from beth:

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.

1. i can't imagine all the people that you know and the places that you go
2. i can't believe i could've been so blind but love is strange
3. i need to be myself i can be no one else
4. when i wake up well i know what i'm gonna be
5. she left dallas for california with an old friend at her side
6. somewhere over the rainbow way up high
7. and there i stood just like a soldier i was tough until i saw her
8. everything is open nothing is set in stone
9. when i'm standing next to you there's a song that sings i know everything's feeling right
10. met you a week ago today how the time flies when i'm by your side
11. scots wha hae wi wallace bled scots wham bruce has aften led
12. i'll always remember it was late afternoon
13. elope with me miss private and we'll sail around the world
14. i could hide beneath the wings of the bluebird as she sings
15. must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again
16. childhood living is easy to do
17. my life is brilliant my love is pure i saw an angel of that i'm sure
18. he was a boy she was a girl can i make it any more obvious
19. you need coolin' baby i'm not foolin'
20. calling the shots from time to time i though i could make it but maybe i was wrong

a couple hints:
one (unofficial) national anthem
two songs share a title
three covers
four scots (i've been on a scottish kick lately)
five (at least) artists are younger than me

i don't have that many songs on my itunes since i mostly listen to cds (cds? what are those?), but i do have my entire oasis collection on there, so i had to filter out most of the oasis songs, otherwise they'd make up half the list. :-)

have fun.

while watching a vh1 special on brokeback mountain yesterday, i heard academy award winning director (yay!) ang lee use the word "schlep". i don't know about you, but that just sounded weird. i mean, could you imagine steven spielberg going "aiya!"?
