Charlottesville is gorgeous and awesome in the summer. You can sit on the Lawn drinking whiskey and playing football and no one gives a damn. I wish I had stayed there more often between schoolyears.

Don't hate. We have some very nice mountains.

I want that little floating head. I'd have some sort of little amusing-looking dog now, but my apartment doesn't allow pets. Maybe next year.

Haha. I guess that's how you spin an asswhooping. Jesus, that's funny.

The aftermath should be great. How do you spin getting your ass beat?

Bet Stephen Jackson did it.

Patrick, tell me you took that photo after ejaculating on the back of her head. And sorry folks. I'll vote harder next time.

You can follow Webb/Allen as quickly as results come in here. With 35% of precincts reporting, Webb is leading by thirty-eight votes.

Out of shape, single mother of two. Her revitalization via country music has gotta start soon.

(re: first bolded part) They don't show the characters 24/7 ... is it too difficult to presume that some of the times that the viewers are seeing, say, Hurley and Desmond, that Claire & Charlie are sitting in a different part of the beach talking about what they miss from home? If it's not crucial to the plot, there's no reason to show it. On point one: it's not too difficult to presume that. I'd just like to see it. It might not be crucial to the "plot," per se, but it is crucial to the characters. When it's just a bunch of ciphers running around the jungle, I get bored. The human element that was so compelling in the early going is really drifting away. As for saying that the redshirts are normal--okay, fine. But isn't it interesting enough to see how this people survive on a freakin' island in the middle of nowhere without them all being connected to terrible deaths? I guess this is just me bitching about the stupid flashbacks again. I miss you, season 1.

Seen ads. Heard buzz. Describe it to me in 50 words or less. I'm thinking about getting a new gaming system and this and the upcoming Assassin's Creed game might push me towards Microsoft, since they seem, I dunno, cool.

And you are called Mole.

Kinetic is illustrating why I haven't been able to watch MNF with the sound on all year. Yowza.

Speaking of Buffalo, them ripping Kent State last week was one of the biggest surprises. Kooky. I'm really liking the "Big East on Thursday!" schedule now that the big games are coming.

Part of it is who beat USC, too. Oregon State's okay but far from a great team. They'll probably finish with 7-8 wins in the middle of the Pac 10, a borderline top 25-35 team. I'd argue that teams like Cal, Texas, Florida, Auburn, etc. are all more impressive than USC right now, having suffered their single losses against top 15 teams who'll probably still be in the top 15 by the end of the season. I commend USC for putting together a strong out of conference schedule, though. Notre Dame, of the giving up 26 points to North freakin' Carolina and looking like they're gameplanning at half speed, has no place in this discussion. I really don't think you can say that WVU and Louisville would get thrashed by all those teams. Statistically there's no reason to think that, and having watched several games featuring all these teams, I see noticeable differences across the spectrum but nothing that outs Louisville as a pretender. Their defense is good if not an iron wall, and their offense is explosively delicious. If they lose to Rutgers, then yes, maybe they can't stand up to steady competition. I'll wait till that happens to throw them under the bus, though.

You know what I was thinking about today? Nobody on the island really seems to miss anything. Or have memories of happiness they want to get back to. I'm not asking for a constant flow of "man, remember what such and such is like?" or "I wonder how my dog is...," but I think part of the reason I'm getting burnt out is that there are no normal people wondering about, y'know, normal things. Everyone is a murderer/adulterer/criminal with severe daddy issues and heartbreak for miles. Maybe that's why I dislike the flashbacks so much. I guess Desmond's the closest to regular, but he's still so far on the fringe that nothing really resonates.

The Adamastache was real. Eddie Olmos wanted to grow one for a while so they decided to have him rock it, then shave it.

Ooh, Iowa State/Colorado. I hope matchups end up hinging on that disaster.

4 picks? Really surprising. It's not the Colts' secondary is lethal or anything either.

Nick Cannon. Fucking awesome.

That was about as good as Tory Holt's catch a few weeks ago. Badass.

I just listened to the first 3 seconds of every song on Blonde on Blonde. God, what an awesome album.

I just wanna hear how.

I don't really care for wine. Give me a fancy beer any day.

Romomania isn't dead. I think this loss is on Parcells. If he hadn't completely lost his mind and gone for two IN THE FIRST QUARTER of a (then) 6-5 game, the Cowboys would have won. Just terrible. Yeah, what on earth was that? Pretty inexplicable, and ultimately a very big deal. I'm sure the Skins would have gone for two to tie it and maybe made it, but still: dumb call.
