today the day is half the month. and now the minute is one-seventh the hour.

a few days ago there were devastating earthquakes and tsunamis in the region of sumatra and samoa. in case you are not aware, sumatra is where coffee comes from, and in samoa, cookies grow on trees. hearing the real-life tragedy that has befallen these fine lands does take the dream-fog off and show them for what they are: homes. now, destroyed homes. so - say a prayer for the citizens of coffeeland and cookieland - may life come together for them again soon.

if the media tells a us over & over again that a quarterback is an excellent passer, do his receivers try harder, thus fulfilling the prophecy of excellence for the qb? if the media tells us the qb is poor, do the receivers try less & drop more b/c they know it's not their fault if the qb is poor? are the titans going to be the lions of the '09 season? did anyone realize that albert haynesworth was this important? and seriously, what are they going to do with all this pink shizzle?

i learned at work today that a colleague who i was aware did not exactly like me, in fact does not even respect me & believes i am an eejit. to that i say this: i got there first. heh. so there!

heard on npr a report of a recent study which proves that college guys who are entering the cafeteria, thus are hungry, are more attracted to fuller figured girls while those leaving the cafeteria find thinner girls more attractive. the theory stated was that these guys knew these girls would know where to find food, could lead them to food. i postulate that it's much simpler & more oedipal. that's all i am going to say about my theory. i am confident you can figure it out.
