thoughts exiting the bye week

OutputStream consciousness = new OutputStream(Brandon);

Here's one that'll keep you up at night, raised by a friend: when is one's soul created?
You know, Georgia's a pretty good ball club this year.
You know, Florida's not.
Brandon's really simple weight loss plan: ride a bike for 30 minutes every day out of necessity.
It was nice to clean my apartment this afternoon and see exciting sights again, like my couch and my living room floor.
All right, I'll ask: if Shaun Alexander got to play on ESPN Sunday night every week, wouldn't he have every record in the book by now? Someone needs to make this happen.
If you'd have told me that Bama would be 4-2 this year, with the losses coming to the #2 and #5 teams in the country by a total of 12 (and should really be 5) points even with the loss of our starting quarterback and running back and the looming sanctions, I'd have told you that Coach Fran should be a candidate for coach of the year. And yet I bet he doesn't get a vote.
My car's coolant system is the worst EVER.
Speaking of which, sign #134 that I'm getting old: my car's 10 years old now, but when I say "a 1992 Blazer", it doesn't seem like it's that old to me.
I fully believe that unless you're sick or injured, if you don't intend to stay the entire game, even if your team is losing by 29 points in the fourth quarter, you don't need to bother showing up in the first place.
In the past two weeks, I have learned more about Java than I ever knew in the three and a half years previous.
I haven't played bridge in over a year, and I'm slowly going mad inside.
The new NFL fantasy league commercial may be one of the funnier ones I've seen. "The perfect fantasy team. All kickers, baby!"
I still can't bring myself to wear an orange-based T-shirt yet. I don't know if I ever will be able to.
It's down on the list, but one of the things that I miss about living with family is that the refrigerator's never empty.
My new front-runner for best purchase that I've made in the past year (edging out my $10 rainsuit): a new printer. It's already paid for itself compared to the printing fees that I would have owed the CISE department had I printed everything I have in the labs...
Get ready, Tennessee. The Tide's coming to town on the 26th...after we take care of a little business at home.
Much as I like wearing shorts and a T-shirt just about every day, I miss seasons. The high is less than 70 tomorrow in Tuscaloosa. Sigh...

Well, I wish we would have played Ole Miss this past week because I'm ready to focus my attetion on the ^&%&^% team from the hills. I guess I have to remember that Ole Miss isn't a gimme, who on our schedule is though? I just can't wait to play ut.

I'm afraid I must challenge your assertion that your car's coolant system was the worst ever. I think my old Corsica grabs that honor. The low coolant light came on *on the way home from the dealership when we bought it*. Of course, we should have just turned right around, but we figured they just hadn't checked the coolant at the place. Oh no...4 years and more money than we originally paid for the car later, it never was completely fixed. It was madness...I came to accept the fact that whereever I parked my car, a pool of green would come oozing out from underneath it...

I am with you Bill. I can't wait to play that @$%*#@&#*$($#*#$ team to the north. Ole Miss will be tough but it won't matter when we beat ut.
