LSU vs BSU...

I pour myself some tootie fruities. I eat the green and red ones first. Then the fruities that remain are purple and yellow, blue and orange. When I eat some LSU colors I try to eat some BSU colors to balance it out. When I eat some BSU colors I likewise try to eat some LSU colors. The same goes for reds and greens, if I perchance eat some school colors. I try to keep the game balanced. At the end, when I can easily count the remaining fruities for each team, a winner is declared. So far I think Boise State is a few games up.

I sometimes think about such a game. Although I don't get to catch Boise State play very often, and I usually do watch LSU, I'd know so much more about LSU. But of course in my heart I'd want the mountain team to blast by the southern big boys. Either way, I guess it's a win-win. And that's how my day starts on select mornings.



I ate some cookies again. After a couple months of abstinence, I had some thin mint girl scout cookies. They're okay, but not that good, really, I mean come on--it's a cheap crusty mint flavored cookie in a little chocolate. Bonnie makes a mint chocolate chip cookie with Andes chips and real mint, and it's much better. And then, after the thin mints, Bonnie finally cracked under pressure and made a batch of chocolate chip cookies (not mint flavored). I ate three last night after a bunch of cookie dough--enough to feel like I didn't need even three cookies. Then, today, I had way too many little frozen cookie dough balls. Jeesh.

Bonnie was talking about gradually using less and less sugar in her tea, with the aim of cutting it out altogether eventually. But something tells me it probably wouldn't work with cookies, slowly cutting out the butter and sugar. I mean, what would be left? Yum, chocolate chips in egg flour!

Old Spice's advertising campaign has paid off for them. I bought an Old Spice product today, and do you know why? To smell like a man, man.

We sat down to watch Avatar last night but it was a German version with no subtitles. I fell asleep waiting to hear about the miners. Tonight, Project Runway goodness. And no hope for the coal industry.

I got enthused, and then a little doleful today. First, about Emanuel Sachs and silica PV cells. Then dolorous about the disqualification of my life achievements to get me on board with a company like his, doing something along the lines of what he is doing. I want to go work with him for free, you know. And then get PV rooftops on all the houses in the southwest, for example.

In the end, I got to feeling good again. I put a For Rent sign in the ground, put up some sheetrock, taped up some joints. I didn't listen to the Spring Fund Drive of my local NPR station. What gets me is how much of the pledge drive I listen to. Today, I listened to my own thoughts.

After working, I got to spend a good amount of afternoon with the family. That's a treat. We got ready for a picnic and soccer get-together tomorrow.

These days Venus and Mercury show their stuff in the dusky western sky.
