No update for a while…worked a genuine 80-hour week. I can’t recommend it, especially with KU playing twice and occupying the rest of my time.
The Wizards, as you may know, beat DC 2-0 to open the season. Both new strikers scored. I spent much of the last two days moving season ticket holders from seats they didn’t like; in most cases, we were moving them from places that we told them they wouldn’t like. No problem, though…it’s my job to help.
Of course, Saturday’s win was sandwiched by two tournament wins for KU. After Sunday’s heart-stopper, I have to admit that I was more stunned than jubilant. Then I headed downtown to meet Keith and Abby for dinner. As soon as I got out of my car, I heard the revelry, and I finally accepted that we were back in the Final Four. I didn’t walk from Round Corner to Free State; I paraded, taking my time along the way to soak it in.
I don’t know what to do with myself this Saturday. Honestly. I don’t deal well with stressful games, and this is easily the most stressful game I’ll ever experience as a fan. One of our season ticket holders is an anaesthesiologist, and I asked him today if he could prescribe something that would just knock me out for two hours.
Me: “Mark, prescribe me something, please.”
Him: “A six-pack…better make it a twelve-pack.”
Topic for debate:
Which is the guiltier pleasure: farting in someone else’s cubicle, or scoping out slutty Facebook pictures?
You decide.

Fartier is definitely guiltier. Of course, 1) I’m still a bit younger than you so maybe I don’t mind looking at slutty college pics quite as much and 2) I kind of feel that’s what Facebook is for.

Guiltier yes, more pleasurable no. I vote facebook.
Also… I have to be deep in the cold, black heart of Misery for the game. Last time that happened was for the debacle at Arrowhead. Needless to say I’m pessimistic.

Dealing with a stressful game? I recommend throwing a heavy, wooden chair, especially when your team is the victim of a bad call at the worst time.

A stressful game, indeed, but I am excited to watch it.
I would definitely say farting in someone else’s cubicle. Somehow, the look on their faces when the fart is smelt is satisfying.

After reading your tale of woe, the abrupt topic for debate literally made me laugh out loud for 5 minutes. Chiyo took a video even.
I love farting in someone else’s space. Recently I’ve been farting in another teacher’s classroom and closing the door just before class. The students are taken aback to say the least.

Eh, no facebook photo looky-loo for me. And since there’s no cubicles at my work, I have to settle for our very small and constantly warm copy room. The xerox machine covers up the sound nicely, I admit.
