random chaos

I'm in a random mood so here comes some junk you probably could have lived your life without, but maybe it'll help you pick the winning lottery numbers... and then I only request 10%...

1. Candace Parker dunked twice in a game today. Fourth woman to dunk in a college game, first woman to dunk in a NCAA tournament game, and first woman to dunk twice in a game. I have mixed feelings about the dunk. It drives me insane when some people write off women's basketball because there isn't dunking... I don't think the sport needs it to be entertaining or competitive... I love that CP shocked everyone winning the McDonalds high school dunk competition two years ago and I love that people can stop bugging her about when she's going to dunk... she did it... twice... and it was sweet!

2. I was easily irritated this weekend... and I knew it. Who slows down at a green light just waiting for it to turn yellow... of course it does... and then slams on their brakes to stop for the yellow light even when they had plenty of time to keep going? Who opens their window a mile before the bridge toll only to freeze the rest of us out? Who says they're trying to see what something is and when I tell them they get mad? Who questions if a dvd will work in a dvd player because it has a hole in the middle (ok that one's not irritating as much as it is just funny)?

3. My computer has a bug in it. I don't know a lot about spyware/malware or whatever you're supposed to call it, but I think I've run every free software possible and have submitted myself to the techie gods of some forum to tell me how to remove the stupid thing. On the bright side my computer still works and I haven't lost any files so I should be grateful I only have to deal with security warnings and porn pop-ups right?

4. There are a bunch of first graders in viriginia who think I played basketball at the University of Tennessee... haha ok that one just makes my day!

5. I am currently tied for third in my office's tournament bracket challenge, however my future does not look bright as only 5 of my predicted elite 8 are remaining with plenty of opportunities for upsets between now and then. Go Zags!

6. I read a bulletin about this kid that was in love with his best friend and never told her because he thought she didn't think of him like that. She got married and then passed away... at her funeral he found out she had written a journal in high school or something about how she loved him but didn't think he felt the same way. I suppose it's trying to tell you to lay it all out there... and in that case it's pretty obvious to see they should have done that... but where's the bulletin about the kid that told his/her best friend and then their friendship was all weirded out or they tried to date and everything ended in a mess. I think it's a good story... but I don't think we can forget the alternate endings.

7. I have barely more than a month to get in shape for that highly anticipated alumni game at methco. Before Chris threatens my life... yes I'm running... is it pretty... no... but I think I needed an excuse to get moving. (Thank goodness the girl scout cookies have finally been eaten and removed from storefronts across America!)

8. I was going to try to go to 12 because I like that number and it felt like an even dozen... but I'm getting lengthy and running out of wit... if I even had any to start with. I hope you have a great week...
