a few random observations.

today was the longest day i've had in a long time. and no tv, either! i know, it's truly a travesty to be kept active and out of the house for so long. how will i ever get in shape on my hawaii chair now?

anyway, i went to the duke game tonight, where a slew of fans were wearing green t-shirts related to some environmental thing on-campus. too bad duke played their worst first half this season, so of course the green shirts were to blame. as students threw mounds of their shirts onto the court at halftime, the staff picked them up and started taking them out. then, just as quickly as they were discarded, other people swooped in all vulture-like on the t-shirt wielders, nabbing themselves new, if slightly used, green t-shirts. awesome. i love that the FREE FOOD (!!!) gut instinct is alive and well.

then on the way home, after the radio station played the zz top song that is on guitar hero in the bighouse blues round (i couldn't tell you the actual name of the song, sorry), they played blinded by the light. i have always thought the lyrics said:

blinded by the light
wrapped up like douche
and a runner in the night

but apparently i am quite wrong. that pretty much sums up my day.

awesome.

p.s. weekend cliffhanger: i may be forced to snowshoe this weekend in the wilds of wisconsin. and when i was told to bring "boots" for the activity, apparently my banana republic 3-inchers don't count. hmph. anyway, if this outdoor humiliation actually takes place, i'll be sure to share. like i said... awesome.
