A Case Of The Saturdays

Bill Lumbergh from Office Space calling the dogs:

"Um, yeah...Dawgs? I'm gonna need you to go ahead and go. Ahh...and if you could sic 'em? That'd be great, thanks. Woof, ahhh....woof, woof."

Beat Tech.

ETA:
"Yeah, thanks. And, ahhh...while you're at it, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and ahh, beat LSU next week. That'd be great. Thanks a lot."

Crossword Puzzled


Can people actually solve the New York Times crossword puzzle? They can't, right? It's all just an elaborate ruse, right? I'd never tried it before, but I thought, hey, I've gotten pretty good at the Red & Black crossword-- why not give it a shot? And on the Times website they post an old puzzle once a week, and really, you've got to be kidding me. I don't know what a "notable name in derring-do" is! I don't know what "Nickel in a pocket, say?" means! And it's trying to tell me that the four-letter word that proceeds "Costa" is, in fact, not Rica.
I feel stupid. I need to go learn about forty-seven thousand more words and then try again later. Geez.

A Touch Of Evil


This doesn't look like the face of a killer, does it?
I can't believe I haven't posted any pictures here of this kitten. Myra got her way back in September, I believe, and she's pretty much consumed our home lives ever since. But make no mistake-- she is the devil incarnate.
You wouldn't know it just by looking at her, and I'm pretty sure that's how her evilness escaped our notice at first. She was only five weeks old when we got her, and was almost tiny enough to fit in one hand. She's bigger now but still kitten-sized, but that's very deceptive. You would not expect something so small to be so evil.
She plots our demise. She really does. Just sits around staring at us, biding her time, waiting until the hour is ripe for her to make her move, and then bam. One of these days she's going to get one of us when we least expect it. We're walking on eggshells here. She's already building up an arsenal of weaponry-- everything small enough for her to fit in her mouth, she drags into Myra's bedroom. So far no kitty dynamite has been discovered amongst the catnip mice and stray socks, but we are on guard. I wouldn't put anything past her.
When she does it, she will probably make it look like an accident, but now you'll know the truth. And if somebody would be willing to avenge my death, yeah, that'd be great. Thanks.

Early Riser

A plague on the house of whoever invented the 12:30 kickoff.
I want to go back to bed.

Greetings, Take Four

This place needed a facelift. Also, it wasn't working with my browser, and so as much as I loved the old layout, it just had to go. Enter Blogger template. Easily the least creative this place has ever been, but hey, what can I say, I like polka dots.
Saw Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire last night at midnight on IMAX at the Mall of Georgia with about twenty other people. I think it's safe to say we loved it. It was so funny. And the acting is better, as is to be expected, because the actors are growing up. I was wondering how they were going to show up Cuaron's take on book three, because I loved that film, and was afraid that this would be just a cheap imitation of the dark quirkiness of that one. But it was very different, cinematically and otherwise, and I really enjoyed it. It even made me like the fourth book a little more, and that's saying something.
It's finally the weekend and even though I have a shit ton of reading to do, I'm going to have fun if it kills me. Tomorrow I think I'm going to a party for Michael and his roommate's birthdays, but tonight is wide open. I'm pushing for a session of drunken Taboo, but we'll see. We'll see.

Still Going To The SEC Championship...

Tragedy struck last night when, after nine lead changes, Auburn scored with only six seconds left, not enough time for us to recover our lead. The final score was Auburn 31, Georgia 30. If it wasn't for the fact that Spurrier saved the day yesterday, tears would have been shed by all.
But it was a really good game. All it basically amounted to was that whoever scored last would win, and Auburn managed to score last. If the game had gone on, it would have just gone back and forth some more. All in all it was a good game. And sure, if Richt keeps calling running plays on 3rd and 10, he's gonna get a punch in the face, and sure, our receivers need to put some glue on their hands a la Orlando Jones in The Replacements, and sure, we now have a record of 7-2, which is not the record of a championship team by any means. But it was a good game.
Illustrations!



Definitely the science majors' idea to spell out UGA > AU. Half the people who saw us didn't get it, or took awhile. We did manage to get on national TV at least three times, though, so I'd say we win. That's Melia, Lisa, me, Melissa, Kim and Shaylee in the shirts.

Before the game, Hairy Dawg destroys a stuffed Auburn Tiger...or was it a Plainsman? A War Damn Eagle? Hmm.

We love our boys. Notice one Milton alum in particular, #4, standing near the middle.

Some of the people I was with tracked down Uga and his owners on their way home to Savannah. Poor Uga. He's sad. We were sad, too.

But at least we were immortalized on ESPN for a few glowing seconds. Good thing I taped it. If you missed my national television debut, you can always catch it on CSS on Tuesday night.
Okay, really. Time to read for History. Until I die.

Pigskin Picks

Man, I never thought I'd say this, but I love me some Steve Spurrier right now. I can't believe the 'Cocks beat Florida, but I'll take it. This means we'd have to not only lose to Auburn, but lose to Kentucky (although to be fair, Kentucky is fairly well killing Vandy today) in order to not go to the SEC Championship. I like those odds.
Now let's focus on today. GO DAWGS! Beat the hell out of those War Damn Eagles!

3000 Words

Let me preface this with the fact that my blog seems to be broken. At least, for me it is. Symptoms: None of the graphics load. While I can read my comments, it won't let me put my cursor in the comment box and thus I cannot respond to any comments. Also, after I visit my blog (and no other site seems to do this), the graphics on any subsequent sites I view won't load, and I have to close the browser and open a new one. Any suggestions?

So it's been awhile, but going over old news is boring. I just wanted to post a couple of pictures, since those are always much more fun to look at than my words.

At Karen's for a Trailer Trash Hullaballoo a few weeks ago. I'm somewhere in the middle amongst the mullets. I was a Nascar groupie, complete with scrunchie.

For Michelle and Lisa's Halloween party a couple weeks back, we were Greek goddesses. That's Myra, me, Kim, Sonika, and Melissa as Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Demeter, and Hera.

Karen and I at the same party. She was a Catholic schoolgirl, which is amusing since she actually was a Catholic schoolgirl.

That's it for now-- my external hard drive is dying and so all of my pictures and music are currently sitting in Ben's hard drive until mine gets fixed/replaced. I do so love to show off pictures, though, so expect more once I can regain access to them.

And now it's time to go do some schoolwork (ha) and study for a Psych test. More to come.
