You tell ‘em coach

Posted by Varies at 7:22 pm in media, and college

Since most of you kids are still in school and not yet considered professionals, this might be an interesting thing to think about. I’m sure that you folks aren’t tuned into sports like I am, so I’m going to link to a video here and comment on it after the break. After you watch it, take a moment to form an opinion, and we’ll have a one-sided discussion!

Just a bit of advice — all videos of this press conference are kind of quiet, but don’t turn it up too loudly because it crescendos sharply at certain points.

Walking through them made me feel safe, then enclosed, then trapped, and then I’d been walking through them for so long (and was slightly hungover) that I reached this strange state of… not really being able to process anything.

One of the things I got an awful lot of credit for in Plano was my bike rides. Often, people ask me how I do it. So, here is my ’strategy’ in brief:

  • Push yourself physically to build strength
  • Always be careful and courteous to pedestrians, drivers, and other bikers

A Room for Improvement

Posted by Bowman at 3:49 pm in and college, lists, parakeets

Dorm Room “We need to rent a-”

 ”Car!”

“… vacuum.”

“Right, a vacuum.”

“This room gets pretty messy after all.”

“What we need is some rugs. You know. Little area rugs.”

“I could get some sometime. They’d probably make the room look better.”

“You know what would rule? A parakeet! It would rule to have a parakeet.”

“Uh…”

“Wait, no, that would be the opposite of rule. No, nevermind.” Read the rest of this entry »
