this is by far the funniest one-liner i have heard in a really long time, courtesy some guy named zach russo and espn.com’s page 2:
“if french stewart and renee zellweger had a child, would that kid be blind?”
freaking hilarious, in my opinion. made me laugh out loud. good story.
my fantasy baseball team, the yahoo-drafted one, is on its way back to the cellar after a burst of glory a week ago. i have moved all the way up to 4th place out of 12; now i’m at number 7 and falling. i’d trade for new players, except i have no one to trade. oh well, at least i’m still king of the hill in the houston-people league. oh yeah.
i made up the 279 midterm this afternoon, and i think it went well. i was surprised by a question on greenwich’s right ascension, and how it changes over the years, but i think i may have worked out the answer. (meaning i worked out something that made sense in my head, but it remains to be seen whether the answer was actually right or not.) it was a 4 part question, and i knew that the answer to one of the parts was “the period of the sawtooth is four years, because of the way we use leap years to readjust our calendar.” so i just took the concept of a leap year and went running with it. hope i’m right.
anyway. yeah, i know, listening to a description of my test-taking experience is so exciting, right?
i’m hungry. good thing dinner is soon. tonight i really want to see a movie. maybe i’ll go.

i’m so pumped. i’m such a geek. a few days ago i finally reached the point of no return–when my hard drive was completely full and there was nothing i was willing to delete. so last night i went out and got a great deal on a sparkling new 120 gigabyte drive. i installed it tonight (and thoroughly impressed my english-major roommate, who i think had never seen the inside of a computer before), and transferred all my pictures and mp3s to the new drive. i know–funny isn’t it? that i had to buy a new freaking hard drive just to hold my digital pictures and mp3s? i had long ago lost track of how much music i have on my computer, but it turns out that i have somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 gigabytes of it. yup. my c drive (13 gigs) went from being completely full to being less than half full, while all the files barely make a dent in my new enormous d drive. this make me quite amused.
such a geek.
