This Ain't Your Average Delta

Call me a dork, but I think this video is SO cool.

OSU v. LSU

How bad is it that a part of the reason I like college football better than professional football is that, in college football, those smooth and muscley calves are bare and nekkid?

Uh, yeah...

Just because 6AM seems like a good time to go to bed.

Confession

The Christina Aguilera fansite that I sometimes check has had a placeholder up saying it is "moving to a new server in a few days" for the past month.


Is it pathetic that I am actually aware that it has been longer than just "a few days?"

"No Country for Old Men"

Today I was that asshole whose phone rang in the movie theater. Dammit. Allow me to explain (before you condemn). So I'm going to see a movie because...well...just because, okay? So I decide to see "No Country for Old Men," and, not having read any reviews, let alone read the book, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

And WHEW. That was an excellent movie. Seriously seriously excellent. However...midway through it, my phone rings. WTF?! I thought I turned off the sounds!!! And I did. It turns out that, because my new phone opens two ways (it's a flippy Samsung that opens both lengthwise and widthwise), I needed to mute it in BOTH length and width modes. I didn't know this, and so...in the middle of the show...I hear a familiar ringtone, which sets my heart racing in utter horror and embarrassment. Dammit...I am NEVER THAT ASSHOLE. But...it seems I was tonight... :(

Well now...that's a first.

Now that I broke the barrier (so to speak) with using my kitchen the other week for Thanksgiving, it seems I now "fear no recipe"...! Prior to Thanksgiving, I had used my kitchen maybe once since moving into this apartment in...July. HOWEVER, after Thanksgiving is a whole other story. I baked cookies last night. Cinnamon sugar cookies. Num num. Now the only question is...what's next?

And...

Voila! Not a complete disaster.

So...

I bought a turkey.

Hello.

$150 Worth of Relaxation

Tonight I spent 0.5 hours with Nico playing fetch and watching him hunt down my rubber hair band.

Meh.

Crushes -- good or bad? I have one. It kind of sucks. There's a reason they're called "crushes," I suppose. However...have you an argument for? Surely it exists, my dear JSA-ers and debate club kids out there.

Unrelatedly, I took a meandering walk around the neighborhood tonight. I saw a bunch of stuff PLUS figured out what happens when people think the washing machine/dryer ate one of their socks.
This is a sock. A black sock. Specifically, this is a black sock I saw lying on the ground outside a laundromat. It appears to have fallen off of someone's heap of laundry -- whether clean or not I have no clue. However, it does appear to solve the anthropomorphic issue of a washing machine/dryer eating one's sock.

Also unrelatedly, there is this "Tiles for America" display on a chain link fence at a street corner near my place. I'd only really had a vague glancing look at it in the past, but I finally took some time to read some of the tiles and look at the website. I'm not one for sappy, but I think the overall idea is very powerful. Not only that, but some of the tiles were very moving.

The heart on this tile appears incomplete as it seems to be missing a bottom corner. Something about that speaks to me in that it appears the country is not whole -- although I'm sure such a message was not the original intent.
No words.
