“A few blocks away, The Family Clothesline has a green window display and green...”
– State Patty’s Day. It’s kind of crazy that they’re even still having this after some kid fell off the roof of Deike and died this year because he drank too much at a frat house, but I mean, recovery only works if you mean it when you say you have a problem.

A lot of the spam we get at work comes with these form-generated subject lines where the variable is whatever your account name is, and then it fills out with “freee v1agrA” or whatever. The ones that come to our departmental mailing list are the best, because I like getting e-mails that say “Dear Mr. cataloging.” That’s right, without me this place would fall...
there's a new sport
Friend of mine decided that if the Summer Olympics can have beach volleyball, then the Winter Olympics should get to have snow volleyball. We’re starting the revolution this afternoon at 4:00 out in the volleyball pit by East Halls. This afternoon’s forecast calls for snow flurries, wind gusts of up to 30 miles per hour, and a temperature of 33 degrees. Nothing worth doing was ever...

i’m still not sure how that happened
I haven’t even really been watching that much Olympics, because the hockey and curling didn’t get going until today, and everything else is on a tape delay so I just watch highlights when someone tells me to. But even just those two sports are going to suck away every other thing I’d planned on doing for the next two weeks. I had big plans for writing lyrics for this one song...

on my lack of historical perspective:
I think if I could travel back in time and space to change our reality, I would go back to London in December 2001 and buy a ton of copies of “Murder on the Dancefloor” so that it would get to #1 in the UK like it should have.
In response to this I thought it would be fun to post my ordered list of Big Ten college towns, which I’ve put a lot of thought into now that I’m familiar with all of them. I should admit my biases up front, which are: good fancy beer bars, thriving music scene, urban (not rural) development patterns (including transit and a dense urban (yet affordable!) center), proximity to other...
Omar Vizquel to wear Luis Aparicio's 11 →
I like this move and wish teams did it more often. One of the things I like about soccer is the way they semi-retire numbers, only bringing them out when someone inherits the legacy of that number (see: Celtic, #7). Of course, Vizquel is basically signed as a player-coach and will be lucky to get 100 plate appearances, but whatever.
The New Math on Campus →
So this got passed around all my Chapel Hill friends on Twitter at the weekend. If you want to get outraged about gender stereotypes, I totally recommend clicking that link and reading the article. That said, I didn’t really recognize any of this in my Chapel Hill experience, even with probably half my friends there being undergrads at the time. Maybe I should have hung out at Pantana...

This is like if Coast to Coast with Art Bell ran for Congress, which is to say, it is my favorite thing.
‘On 13 August 2007 George phoned in and revealed his plans for London in the year 2020, which included turning the M25 into a “wonderwall” and London becoming “the party capital of the world,” financed by “the bank of a zillion wonders” in which every...
