1) There is this Website/blog that compares college football programs to rappers. MSU is up on that. I'll leave it a secret for y'all to find out. I was a little disappointed. I was hoping for someone a bit more thugly because of the recent run-ins with the 5-0. http://tinyurl.com/dqz54. I actually saw it on allmsu.
2) I wrote the centerpiece for today's edition of the post. But in a sort of yin yang, balance of life deal, I was splattered with blood from a king mackerel fish early this morning and it stained by new linen shirt and a nice pair of shorts. I would have been furious, but it was 38-inches long, and you just can't slap around a fish that size.
3) Is anyone else upset at this no-voucher football ticket system they got running these days? If last year's Izzone revamp was like a Civil War-era leg infection, the new football system is the dull hatchet used to lop off gangrenous limb. It's just one more way that I feel personally screwed and personally offended by the powers that be. I hope they repeal this nonsense.
4) I can't wait to get back to East Lansing. It's not that I don't like it here. I love it here. I just miss my friends. I miss cool weather at night. I miss riding my bike around campus. I can't wait for autumn. I can't wait for sweatshirts and jeans on cool, autumn days.
5) I was pleasantly suprised the day the Indian woman at Dunkin Donuts made my coffee without asking me for the first time. After weeks of ordering my coffee the same way — black with two creams on the side — at the same time — 9:45 a.m. —from the same counter — on S. Dixie Highway near the Post— it was just there waiting for me one day. Needless to say, it made my day. That was about two weeks ago. Then it got worse (or better). Last night, I went to the Subway drive-thru (very common in Florida) to order a sub like I've done almost every night for the past 5 or 6 weeks. I keep a pretty constant diet. I try to be simple with food. Anyway, I start my order... "I'll have a 12-inch ham and turkey on honey oat with..." and I pause for just a second. That's when the girl's fuzzy voice finished my order... "with swiss cheese, lettuce, spinach, black pepper and oregano, right?" I was pretty floored. It was also the correct order of my usual request. She didn't say it in the most friendly tone, but I tried to joke about it with her at the window. I said something like,"Wow, you've got a great memory. I feel special." but then she just turned to me and said, with a twinge of disdain, "well you come here every night." So I grabbed the plastic handles of my sub bag and drove away.

(hi don, it's benita)
All touchdowns scored in the Silverdome are null and void.
Don,
I'm so there on the girls' side of the game vs. the Daily.
Yes, I've seen Elephant after a convo about it full of praises from a co-worker. Its impressiveness made me IMDB van Sant.
I too love GWH, it's one of the few movies I own (quirky fact: I don't buy many movies because 1. I don't have the attention span to watch them 2. The suspense is over once I've seen a movie once 3. I can usually predict the endings to new movies these days, unfortunately. I think I own a whopping seven, four of which are VHS.)
Anyways yes, through mucho criticism and (dare I say it,) a movie that rhymes with Heeley, I also admire Ben (and Matt) for how GWH came about. And for Project Greenlight. Crappy show, good concept.
Speaking of, how about that Trailer Fabulous?
