A few quick hits

Just some thoughts that I should have gotten down on paper some time in the past:

* New schedule of classes this quarter, and already Criminal Justice is my clear favorite. Not only is EVERYONE we talk about in class guilty as sin, and usually for drug possession, there are so many exceptionally fun things to talk about. We spent an entire class today talking about "exposing possessions for public view." Now, I believe that this sounds like something that we should be worried about people who walk around in trenchcoats and dark glasses doing, but apparently this is a very live constitutional issue. And any time one needs to question whether there is a constitutional right to dumpster dive or to run around naked in your backyard, that is the class for me.

*Best sports name ever: Von Wafer. There's really no wrong way to say it. I mean, try it. Say "Von Wafer" like you're Scottish, like you're angry, like you're shocked. It's amazing regardless. Plus, he sounds like a German cookie baron, which is awesome.

*Rock Band is amazing beyond all reason. I tried this for the first time on my recent trip to Chicago, and I've never had so much fun playing a video game in all my life. In fact, I think I had more fun than any of you... My guitar is good, my singing ranges from excellent to decent (I could TOTALLY have been lead singer for The Offspring), and my drumming breaks all records for white-guy lack of coordination. The worst part is, I know how to play the drums IRL. I'm not good, but I know how. I just wasn't getting it for some reason. Oh well, more practice obviously necessary.

*Marie and I are the parents of the most excellent cat in the history of ever. It's just a fact of life. She snuggles people, sleeps on the bed, and doesn't get too pissed when I accidentally almost kick her off the bed at nights. Really, what more could you ask for?

May all your hits be crits,
