i may be a bird in a cage but at least it's your cage

la la la basketballcakes: carolina @ state, 02.22.06, plus a little idle early spec on the tournament. also, if keri decides to make unc the default basketball team of her soul, i win a toaster.

since buying my new desk chair, i have not wanted to do anything but sit at my desk in my chair and write. this means that all sorts of things have been piling up on the tivo sans watching, so after churning out 1300 words last night, i crawled onto the couch and watched five straight episodes of friends.

okay, so maybe i've turned into one of those people that spends a lot of time in public saying, "oh my god, on this episode of friends i watched last week ...", and that's sort of embarrassing, but yesterday i got to watch the episode where rachel and monica face off against chandler and joey in the personal trivia contest and then lose the apartment to them.

and: miss chanandler bong! that never stops being funny, okay?

it's thursday again. this keeps happening without me noticing. what's up with that? okay, anyway, top five list, courtesy of resmin: top five things you'd bring to the apocalypse. you know, if the world is going to end, or is ending, or has ended, things you would want to have with you. flights of fancy, sensible shoes, whatever you think would be most useful to have while trekking across northern canada hiding from zombies and radiation. BE CREATIVE, CLASS IS BORING.

my list:

1. one of those flashlights that you shake to charge up. it would never run out of batteries! and some of the big ones are almost as heavy as maglites. good for beating people, zombies and alex rodriguez to death. (a-rod would totally survive a nuclear apocalypse. it's part of his pact with the devil.)

2. a shotgun loaded with rock salt. i have learned many things from supernatural, and this is one of them.

3. waterproof matches. you know. useful.

4. joe flanigan. ... what, is it so bad to want to repopulate the earth with REALLY PRETTY BABIES?

5. war and peace. hey, i'd finally have a chance to finish the damn thing! also, useful for bludgeoning zombies. always consider the bludgeoning zombies aspects of your apocalypse survival kit. it's important!

right, come on, it's your turn, let's hear what you would use to save the world. COME ON, I'M BORED.

okay, also, unrelatedly? stargate: atlantis writers, i understand that the taniyama-shimura conjecture is a really easy piece of higher math for non-math people to comprehend and consequently reference, but please, could you keep my father's thesis advisor out of your porn? it makes me squirmy, and not in a good way, kthx.
