I just think of myself as a ninety-*eigth* percentile kind of guy...
So I guess it's been a while since I wrote anything in this space. Me and Eliza celebrated one year of dating two days ago, and in the time that we have been dating, I have written a total of 7 entries, only 5 of which can really be called entries. So, needless to say, this has sort of been neglected. I've been told that some of thought I might be ( Read more... ) -

WE WIN! WE WIN! HOLY SHIT, WE WIN!!! Something I thought I may not see as a student at the University has happened; Lloyd Carr has won his last game as coach of the Michigan Wolverines! Well, that sort of makes up for this season. If only we weren't hurt the whole year... -

So I just got my last grade of the semester, from Econ 406. This was the class I was worried about going into exam week, as it was a class that I did a lot of work for before the class started, and then slacked off a lot once I was in it. I mean, I did the homework, and I went to...most...of the classes, but, I don't know, I just didn't put in a ( Read more... ) -
15 weeks? Really?
The last time I wrote anything here (not just anything of note, because we all know that it's been far longer for that) was 15 weeks ago. More than a quarter. Since I last wrote anything, a number of things have happened or changed, in no particular order ( Read more... ) -

What a damn day. A historical day. A really long day. Why do I always insist on getting drunk during welcome week? For now, I need to rehydrate, sleep, and hope that tomorrow's a little better than today. See you all then. -
On goals
At the beginning of the summer, I set a goal for myself: to read the entire Econ 406 book, which I mistakenly bought last year, thinking I'd be in the class, before the class even started. With a week left in summer, it's now clear that I'm going to fall short of that goal, though will probably be past the midterm. The first 6 chapters of the book ( Read more... ) -
Revisions and extensions
Alright, so, what was that all about. Kevin described it pretty well. Last week was Congress's last week in town before adjourning for a month, until after the Labor Day holiday (if you think that's a long vacation (technically "district work period"), look at Britain: they're off until October). On Tuesday, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD ( Read more... ) -
Parliamentary clusterfuck of the week...
Anyone who sufficiently knows me and knows that this happened knows that I want to comment on it. For now, I'll let YouTube (below) and CQ speak for me, reserving the right to revise and extend my remarks...

What can I say, I'm ahead of the curve
Mike Vick likes to do sick and wrong things to dogs. Allegedly. Yesterday, Sen. Robert Byrd felt compelled to come to the floor of the Senate in morning business around 5 PM and, well, talk about it. And I felt compelled to tell someone about it myself, so I talked to Kevin.[17:00] bkabby111: Senator Byrd is talking...at about 60 words per minute ( Read more... ) -
Opening and closing the narrative of the summer...
Apparently the music that I'm listening to right now is loud. I really didn't realize this until, without me hearing it, the phone rang. And rang. And, apparently, rang a third time, at which time my brother picked it up, somewhat annoyed. Was this my phone, I would not be surprised; as you all know well at this point, me answering my phone is hit- ( Read more... )
