Meet Tom

This folks is a picture of Tom. Tom is the moderator (possible creator?) of MySpace.com Joining MySpace is quite possibly the most addicting thing I've ever done since joining The Facebook, or Friendster, or Hi5.... anyway you get the point. It's the new big thing and I love it! I have a really cool background on my page and whenever you load my page you get to hear a song. Most internet savvy musicians have MySpace accounts these days. You just find their page, look at the songs they have listed that week, and you can set one of them to play whenever people look at your page. How cool is that?! I'm playing "Soul Meets Body" by Death Cab for Cutie. They're a fairly new band and playing sold out shows in Atlanta, so check out their page if you can. I'm finding people from high school, from childhood, from down the hall in my psych building. I really don't need to talk to the psych people anymore than I already do, but somehow it's like going back in time to freshman year when AOL IM just got big and you used to IM your friend down the hall about going to the cafeteria for dinner... don't lie, you know you used to do it too!!! So basically, take 5 min to sign up for a MySpace account, copy and paste all your info from your other online accounts and get to work picking out a song. It's the new big thing people!

I'm the lime green mini...

I want to know the person who came up with the white "earbud" headphones for the iPod. I mean seriously, how brilliant were they? Buy any model of the iPod and it's as if you've bought a membership into an exclusive club or greek society. Better yet it's like driving around in an original VW Beetle and honking at other drivers in original Beetles. As I walk around campus, I am surrounded by people walking by with white strings dangling from their ears. I find myself wondering what they are listening to... a slow walker might be chilling to Coldplay and a fast walker might be two steps away from freaking out to "Jerk It Out" by the Ceasars like the crazy guy in the commercial. Those of you that don't have one, aren't you the least bit interested in maybe getting one? Or maybe you have another MP3 model, but you must feel some envy when you walk by the white headphones. Ok, this entry was meant to be because as I am sitting here writing this, my lime gree mini iPod just shuffled its way to "Jerk It Out." If I wasn't surrounded by way too many studious psych people on the verge of freaking out over a stats paper I might have had to jump up and down like that commercial guy.

Look Familiar?

I'm sorry, as I know this blog isn't about squirrels or to what Sudha refers to as "oversized rodents"-- wait what I am I apologizing for? This blog isn't about much of anything anyway, so why not keep up our dialogue about squirrels on college campuses. I have to say, this pic looks like any squirrel to be found on the Vandy campus. Anyone else agree? What is it about squirrels and campuses anyway? I was walking the other day and two of them were chasing each other in a tree above me when one of them fell out of tree. I'm not kidding. The stupid thing came all flying out of nowhere-- thank goodness I wasn't eating a falafel or I might have thought he swandived on purpose....

Is anyone really surprised?

So I'm not so sure what to think about this story. First off, is anyone really surprised that the girl that walked barefoot into a gas station bathroom would be driving around with her baby in her lap? Then what's up with LA County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) jumping all over this? What are they gonna do, take Britney's Spear's baby away from her? Please... they couldn't even talk to her when they went out to her house. Little Miss Pop Princess had them talk to her security guard. Where were these people when Wacko Jacko was holding his baby over a balcony? That was one celebrity that needed to have his children taken away stat, for more than one reason! Why is DCFS wasting their time on this? Read the article yourself

Super Bowl XL!!!

Here are some interesting facts to get you in the mood for the big day. My friend Susan said that her radio station in Philadelphia has a fool-proof way for figuring out the winner the past couple of years. They paint two eggs with the logos of the two teams and then put them in the microwave. Whichever egg explodes first is the winner of the SuperBowl. Now on to some real facts....

The first Super Bowl football game was played on January 15, 1967, at Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, California, in front of 63,036 spectators. The Green Bay Packers (NFL) defeated the Kansas City Chiefs (AFL) 35-10. The winning Packers players received $15,000 each and the Chiefs, $7,500 each. Nowadays (according to 2005 statistics), players on teams that make the wild-card round as division winners get $18,000, while strictly wild-card teams get $15,000. Making the divisional playoff round earns players another $18,000. Getting to a conference championship game is worth $36,500 to every player on all four teams. That's the same amount of money players on the losing team in the Super Bowl make, while the winners get $68,000 each.

I hear there are some gonna be some good commercials this year as well. Jessica will be slutting, oh I ment, strutting her stuff for Pizza Hut, and there should be quite a few other big names hawking merchandise. Oh and in case you were wondering, the Pittsburgh egg exploded this year....
Happy Football Day!! :)

Yeah that's right...

Global warming or not, I just wanted to say that I am digging this February heat wave we're having here in Columbia, South Carolina. It's gonna be 70 degrees today at 3pm. Yeah, you read right. 70 degrees. I'll let you know what that felt like tonight.
