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

glory, glory, unc, our hearts will live with thee - fight, fight, fight for the blue and white are rolling to victory. i have pretty much been staring at this photo non-stop all weekend, and it just. i can't even. i love this picture so much it hurts.

also, on friday, there was possibly an incident on campus involving me being a spaz and also involving wes miller, but resmin says i'm not allowed to talk about it anymore. (upside: did not commit sexual assault and did not actually light wes miller on fire. downside: well, did not get laid by wes miller. overall: not forced to watch duke game in jail; probably for the best.)

and there was a brief moment of friday night dinner-time terror regarding YET ANOTHER broken can opener, but apparently i just suck. i can fake it at being a grown-up most of the time; i remember to get the oil in my car changed, i bought a desk chair, i pay my tuition on time, but in the end, i can't work a can opener and i have an oversize tupperware for a coffee table.

i haven't talked about school much this semester - because there are only so many ways you can talk about wanting to beat microsoft access into tiny pieces with a big stick before it gets old - but basically i have a wild brain-crush on my collection development professor. ( a little about coll dev, which i was dreading, and is turning out to be my favorite class of the semester )

i had a wildly laidback rest of the weekend; saturday pru and i went out to southpoint and fondled the laptops at the apple store, drooled over cookbooks at barnes & noble, and mindlessly wandered around target again. (i bought more jell-o, because clearly i have not learned my lesson. also i bought a vegetable peeler. GO ME.) i wrote a lot, and updated my page-of-what-i've-written-this-year for february. i slept a lot. i fed asb's cat and pilfered her internet to download a lot of hank williams, jr. i spent 10 hours on sunday hip-deep in pie database designing, got fed up with access's design view not letting me do what i want, and taught myself enough mySQL to hack the query in my homework. it was a pretty good weekend.

at one point, in a fit of boredom on saturday evening while waiting for tip off, i contemplated shaving my head. mostly i really need a haircut, i can feel the hair curling around my collar right now, and it's driving me nuts. you will all be glad to know i still have hair; i'm not sure i can rock the bald look, as tempting as it was. a cat scan technician once told me that my head was shaped like a light bulb. not exactly the head for shaving, you know?

and finally: this map of major league baseball teams by fan location makes me so happy; all those weird tiny pockets of cubs fans? are people who live where wgn is a standard superstation on cable, heeeee.
