Linguistics: or how I learnt/ed to start worrying and hate grad school
I should preface this by saying that this next paragraph is going to sound really snooty. But, I wasn’t really expecting grad school to be hard. Ok, hard maybe.

and the earth stopped spinning. I went to see your Charlooootte Bobcats-cats-cats tonight for their last game of the season against the Philadelphia 76ers (who the Observer seemed to think was winning even though the Bobcats had the lead for pretty much the entire game before the last 5 minutes)

Seriously, can he get anymore awesome?! Yes, he didn’t wear the Steelers [...]
Breaking Fast
What can we talk about today besides Wachovia/the election/the craphole economy?
How about that there has already been 3088 seat licenses reserved for Forty Niner football. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t think we had it in us. …….………………………..Ok, back to the doom and gloom. I’m sorry. There is absolutely nothing [...]
