Is not good.
Well just kidding. Mostly.
The Australian Open is shaping up to finish pretty awesomely assuming Nadal moves past ferrer in an hour, we've got murray v. nadal and federer v. novak in the semis. Jake thinks the fed express is an attractive man. He said it. right out of his mouth.
The state of the union was tonight. I watched about 10 minutes of it before we had to go. I think it's pretty dumb that the conservative judges (minus the super classy, and also attractive John Roberts) sat this one out. Come on guys. It would at least be some good exercise for your senior bones.
In other news totally unrelated to me, I want to see the King's Speech. and not just because it got 12 Oscar nods. True Grit got 10, including best actor for Mr. Bridges, and best picture. I haven't seen social network, or the King's Speech yet, but True Grit has my vote for best picture this year.
Here's a history lesson of my own best picture award over the last few years...2007: Sweeney Todd. 2008: The Dark Freaking Knight. 2009: District 9 and then 2010: True Grit.
Before that...I didn't really keep track...
I'm also a pretty bad picker of superbowls...I have not cheered for a winning team...ever. The first one I really cared about was the Seahawks...that was...well. Not good. Then the bears lost...There was no perfection for the Patriots...Kurt Warner was tragically defeated...and there was no justice for the vikings. the year after. But I'm pulling for you packers. I want to have my first super bowl with a happy ending. Jake Gyllenhaal.
I just saw a gum commercial that claimed the average person has 28 first kisses. I do not believe it. What is a kiss even worth at that point? 28 different people? Goodness. Am I counting my mom here?
Should I write about my own day for awhile? I guess.
Ran again this morning. Flossed again tonight. Read some more about China. Learned this awesome game called...pictionelephone or something...Basically you pass as many notecards as there are people in your circle around. Everyone rights a phrase on there first note card then passes it to their left. That person draws a picture of that. Pass to the left. That person draws a sentence describing what he sees in the picture. Pass to the left. Draw a picture of what that phrase is...etc. etc. Once your original phrase gets back to you (and sometimes it is hard to tell if it is indeed your phrase) you have...probably not what you started out with. (same ideas as the telephone game you played in elementary school, where you start with "old mcdonald had a farm" on one end, 30 people later you have moldy donkey set off alarm...so it's...pictionary and telephone...what I think they called pictionelephone) It was pretty fun. Among the more memorable transformations were "my pet polar bear shot-himself" to "Koala terrorists hate eskimos, they shoot at their igloos," and, "Super man burns a sack of puppies with heat vision" to "The famous super hero, Super C, flies over a smoggy city"
I'm staying up to watch Nadal play Ferrer. Probably not really a good enough reason to lose sleep. But...I feel like not caring.
GC is going bowling tomorrow. I honestly might have to pass. Money and homework.
This week I actually have something to produce for class, instead of just reading.
Oh yeah! I had my first study group meeting for 313 today. It went pretty well. Considering it was mandatory and beard guy didn't show up. It's pretty clear to me it's not going to do anything to enhance my comprehension of the course material but, It was at least not a painfully awkward hour. We found a way to discuss Harry Potter and Dr. Horrible, and I exercised my social muscles.
Matt, Jake, and I also made our first trip to the rec center of the quarter (together at least). I benched 135 with ease. Next week I will move on to 145 I think. I know it's not a Richie Meier number (mr. 300) but, I'm happy to be keeping pace with Jake and Matt.
Matt caught me admiring my left bicep as we were watching the beginning of the state of the union address.
