I keep reading the ESPN article I have open--"Flawed Terps are Williams' main concern"--as "Flawed Terps are Flawed." A more accurate summary, I think. Last Saturday's game against Miami is the first MD game I've deliberately not watched in, like, eight or nine years. I'm just glad they ended up winning ( Read more... )

The (mostly) Sports Version.

What I'm happy about

* The U of MD men's basketball team demonstrating that they are, in fact, capable of playing basketball.

* The U of MD women's basketball team being as kick-ass as they've been all season.

* Abby Wambach, because she got knocked on the head in WC, had to go off to get stitches, and came back in ( Read more... )

I came to work today because I wanted the $ and I actually have some work to do in preparation for this huge work thing we're having next week, but I feel like a little lost girl in a wasteland of empty cubicles. The clacking of my keyboard is echoing through the hall ( Read more... )

Whee!

Our gorgeous, spring-like weather of the past week seems to have run its course, and today we were subjected to low 40s and cold wind. There is nothing like having to walk to my work building through a wind plain to make me REALLY FREAKING CRANKY.

I spent this week rewatching Firefly (and fuming, of course, that there are so few episodes to watch). As a result, I have a ( few random thoughts. )
