What is UP with the Georgia Tech football team?!? I cannot believe we lost, in overtime, again. I cannot believe that Godsey threw so many interceptions, that Joe Burns didn’t keep the freaking ball in play to run down the clock, that the Maryland kicker made that long field goal, and that Joe Burns (him again) fumbled the freaking ball in overtime. Joe Burns is the new Stonehands.
I saw Alex on TV early in the game. He had his hands in fists and his mouth wide open. He made me laugh.
My first column appeared in the Daily today. I’ll be writing one every Thursday, and they’ll always appear in print under the title “Rarefied Air.” That’s what I picked to call my little spot of the opinions pages. Cheesy, but I was having an uncreative day when they made me come up with it. Anyway, today the column is about baseball. You can go to their website and read it for the next few days, and then it goes into archives, which I haven’t figured out how to get to on the web yet. Supposedly they’re there, but I can’t find them.
Direct quote from a guy Nick overhead while on his way home from class: “dude, some chick in the paper today wrote about BASEBALL…” Yes. that’s all he heard. I was very upset that Nick didn’t eavesdrop some more, or look to see if the guy was cute. Then he could have said “oh, I know her, you should talk to her sometime.” Anyway.
I talked to Leila tonight. Boy did she have a horrible day…I wish there was something I could do. A third of the workforce at her company got laid off (she didn’t, luckily), and then we lost the game. We vented for a while on the phone. In an effort to cheer her up, I have finally added a schedule to my webpage. Leila, now you can know where I am at all times.
{sigh} I wonder where Nick is. I banged on his door earlier and no one was home. And Emily was in Memaud (Memorial Auditorium…Stanford has weird nicknames for things), and she was busy.
Ugh. My diary entries these past few days have sucked. I’m gonna go read.

Well, instead of reading I checked my email, and after that, I called Christina. Ahhhh. One hour and fifteen minutes of lovely conversation and laughs. She is awesome.
