clock rule changed back!

good news for college football fans everywhere! the stupid clock rule implemented last season has now been repealed. the drama and intensity of the last few minutes of games will return. and in related news, the kickoff location has been moved back from the 35 yard line to the 30 yard line. this will almost certainly increase the number of returns seen on kickoffs. the new season is about to start!

a useful tidbit worth knowing

when reviewing powerpoint slides with a young intern, a white sequined thong is not considered appropriate attire for a 40-something year old man.

i'm not sure when a white sequined thong would be appropriate attire for a 40-something year old man, but hopefully it would be when i'm not around.

knowing the future

i'm sure that many of us have often wished to know the future. knowing stock picks, or application results ahead of time can certainly put our minds at ease. when a friend of my recently announced that she was going to break up with her bf, i would have taken it in stride if not for the fact that actual breakup didn't occur until somewhat later than the announcement. it's hard to hang out with someone when you know that they are about to not hang out with you for much longer.

above ground

after months of sleeping with my mattress on the floor, i am proud to announce that my mattress is now a full eleven inches removed from the carpet. sleeping on an elevated mattress is a bit disconcerting at first, with the ceiling being closer and all; however, after an period of adjustment, i suspect that the ease with which i can get in/out of bed will outweigh the feelings of claustrophobia i get when i open my eyes to see the ceiling that much closer to my face.
