Idiot badgers....

It's halftime...

It's halftime at the UW-MSU (Wisconsin - Michigan State) game and I definitely agree with the pundits - both teams need to find some defense. My Badgers need to find the answer to Neitzel and quick. It's nice to see, however, the Badgers getting MSU into foul trouble early. That's a hallmark of the Badgers this year and it's nice to see it continue. Now, whether Wisconsin's ability to make the 3 this half is due to Michigan State's apparent lack of D this half, or if it's a continuation of the current trend, I dont know. I do, however, like it! And of course, Tucker's doing his thing again :) You know, I watch Tucker play and I watch Oden play and I have to wonder why Oden's being included in POY talk. Nevermind the fact that Oden didn't play at the beginning of the season and is just recently truly playing well. In my mind, a POY needs to have/do the following things:

• Leadership
• Great numbers in relation to his team's numbers (in other words, compare Durant's numbers in relation to his team's numbers with Tucker's numbers in relation to his team's numbers.)
• Makes his teammates want to be better, just because he's on the team
• Has the magical 'it' quality
• Recognizes the adage "There's no 'I' in team", then follows it

Okay, here we go...second half time. GO BADGERS!

Irrational ranting/raving

Okay, come on Badgers! Let's beat Michigan State! :)

As an aside, I suppose ranting/raving is irrational, but still...

They may not win pretty....

My Badgers may not always win pretty...but they keep winning. :)

Frustrated

I'm really frustrated at the moment. Got yet another med from the doc today and went to drop it off at the pharmacy only to find that they don't have it right now and would have to order it. As a result, it wouldn't be here until Wednesday. So I went to Walgreens to try and get it filled there, except I dont have a new insurance card (my HMO changed the patient numbers the first of the year, making the new insurance card a must right now). Finally, because of how the gvt classifies my med, the prescription has to be dropped off and picked up (if it's available) today. So right now I'm waiting for one of the parents to get home and give me their insurance card so I can go to Walgreens and cross my fingers they have the med in stock. GRRRR

House ff is dangerous!

Over the last week, I've seriously gotten into House fanfiction and it's VERY addicting! It's more addicting than West Wing, JAG, or even Harry Potter. In case anyone's interested, I'm starting a fanfiction recommendations blog. The first post should happen sometime tomorrow afternoon. It will have House, JAG, West Wing, and Harry Potter fanfiction recommendations. Initially it will just be my recommendations, but the possibility exists that I might accept recommendations from others eventually.

Argh!

Idiot Badgers! I don't care if this game is on that road, the Badgers should be beating up on Penn State. They definitely shouldn't be tied with Penn State, nor should this be a close game. Penn State is a bottom feeder for a reason and the Badgers need to dominate them like the #4 team they are.

I can already tell Im going to do some booing tonight

It's not even ten minutes after seven and I'm already booing the officials. GO BADGERS!

Just had to squee

I just had to squee over Danny and Jordan *SQUEEEEEE*

*Sigh*

Rex Grossman is going to be publicly eviscerated in tomorrow morning's papers. On some level I guess it's warranted, but he doesn't deserve all the criticism he's going to get between the end of tonight's game and the beginning of next season. Oh well, when the game's over I'm going to go back to reading House/Cameron fanfiction...actually, I might do that right now instead of watch the Bears continue to fall apart. And here, I thought the game was going to go well after the kickoff return by Hester and then the wonderful work of the defense early on...and then the wheels fell off.

The Devil Wears Prada

I'm watching The Devil Wears Prada and I'm not impressed. I don't care how high up someone is, that doesn't give anyone the right to tear someone else down. In my mind, viciousness is never acceptable. Aside from that, I'd work at a Burger King before I worked somewhere that didn't accept me for who I was. But *shrugs* that's me. If I have to be less than who I am, then that's not where I want to work. And I gotta say, I dont think Andrea looks any better once Nigel dresses her up. In fact, I think she looks worse. Too bad she doesn't look like a real human being anymore.

*sigh* Is it too much to ask for semi-even officiating?

With 8.6 seconds to go, my Badgers are down by 4 points. They're going to lose and generally speaking I'd be disappointed but okay. However, the officiating wasnt close to even. Seriously, if you're going to call travelling on the Badgers (and I have my doubts on some of those calls), you've got to call them on Indiana too. I don't care where the game's being played. If it's called on the Badgers, it's gotta be called on Indiana too and tonight it wasn't - and that was the difference in the game.

Gah

I hate it when I can't remember if I've taken my medication. I've got antibiotics at the moment for a sinus infection and I can't remember if I took tonight's dose. I remember getting them out of the bottle, but I dont remember taking them...gah!

I've gotten into House

For whatever reason, I've gotten into House. And now, Im watching the first ep where Cameron has come back - and I'm laughing hard at the interplay regarding Cameron and the date with House. *grins*

My dad really drives me crazy sometimes

*sigh* There's no reason why my dad couldn't have decided to go the mall to begin with, or you know, plan his vacation time so that he wouldn't spend all day on Monday writing reviews. He asked me to go to the mall and find the gigantic remote for my grandfather's christmas present, however I haven't the faintest idea where to start looking, not to mention it's still the week after Christmas when everyone's off...the mall is packed and I don't feel great. Plus, I have a lesson to do today for church. My mom didn't want to go either because she's not feeling great and she too has a lesson to do. So my dad got all pissed off and stomped upstairs. I mean, seriously, I had to learn time management and figure how to plan the things I had to do so that they were done on time. Plus, my brother is the one that saw the remote when he was out Christmas shopping. While he can't remember where exactly he saw it, at least he has a better idea than the rest of us. And oh! Guess what? He's 19 years old and more than capable of driving any of the three cars currently at home. Gah!

And here I was, going to tell them how excited I was over getting the A in my American Revolution class. *grins* That put my grade point for the semester at a 3.5 - beating my brother :) It was a great semester, even if I did carry 16 credits this semester. But my dad doesn't listen to anyone when he's in this mood. He tends to just piss me off and piss off the rest of the world. He is just so unreasonable sometimes. It's like he just snaps. And then of course, even if someone then decides to do it anyway, he stays pissed off at the world and does it anyway. My parents both do this time from time to time and have always done lesser versions of it. I gotta say that episodes of this nature aren't going to make me want to confide in my parents. And they wonder why I don't tell them anything.

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I know I did :) I even got the one thing I wanted most - an external hard drive! I got a few other things as well, but that was the biggest :) I also found out today that I got a B in my American Lit class :) So A's in Choir and Music Theory and B's in Con Law and American Lit, with my American Revolution grade not posted yet (no wonder, my TA's hadn't yet finished grading our papers/presentations from December 4/5/6 when we took the final on the 20th!) In any case, it's been a good Christmas for me and I hope it was great for everyone else as well.

I just get so frustrated sometimes

I hate how sometimes I feel like I'm a secondclass citizen within my own family. It wasn't a big deal when I got into NMU, or even into Madison as a transfer student, but when my brothers apply and get into their top choices, it's a huge deal and warrants dinner out. For me at least, it's another reminder of why I'm now starting to speed down the path of being ready to move out on my own. For me, that's not financially feasible until I finish college a year from now, but the goal is to have a job soon after graduation and preferrably away from my family so I can truly get out on my own. The idea scares me some, and in all reality it should, but it doesn't terrify me anymore.

At this point, I also wish my family would leave me the hell alone for the next week, but of course my family has no idea what that concept is.

It's finals time - my family needs to leave me the hell alone

Seriously, it's finals time. My family needs to leave me the hell alone and let me study.

Naive professors

I've always found it a little naive (or perhaps they simply don't care, which I find even more idiotic) of professors to set a crapload of reading at the end of the semester. With everything else that goes on at the end of the semester from papers to projects to studying for finals, professors have to know that reading is going to fall through the cracks. If it's a choice between doing reading and getting a paper done, the paper's going to win. Now, if the professor simply doesn't care, then I'm not sure they should be teaching.

I want snow, dang it!

I want snow dang it! The areas south and east of here are getting nailed, but no, not us. The area I live in never seems to get nailed anymore. The last time we got any good sized snowstorms was Dec 2000. I think it's time to get more snow. However, that doesn't appear to be happening this go round.
