looking round online, I’ve seen a lot of people posting things like “Pats still haven’t won anything since Spygate” and, although I still think the Spygate thing was handled terribly, it seems like maybe winning 72 games (plus 4 division titles and two conference championships) in 5 seasons counts as something.

Belichick’s post-Sypgate career alone is better than 90% of coaches who have ever worked in the NFL.

resigning myself to the eventual Giants victory.

(I rooted for them in 07 due to the whole 19-0 factor, but no way this year).

I don’t like being up until 1 AM to do work, but– final draft of new novel complete. Sending to agent now. Well, not right now. In about 10 seconds, though.

Every time I go to campus, I’m consistently amazed by the willingness of able-bodied college students–who are otherwise the most impatient people in the world– to wait in line 10 minutes just to take an elevator down one floor.

Super Bowl Media Day is probably the dumbest sports-related event of the year, and yet every year it’s discussed in incredible depth by people who seem to hate every second of it.

really actually enjoying sixers games this year. Plus, I have to watch tonight so I can talk sixers with the nice older guy who works at Temple.

checked my aol email account for the first time in probably 5 years. Looks like I’ve been missing out on some great deals for discount viagra.

watching a special on CNN about the physical dangers of football, especially to young people. Anticipating being horrified.

a semester full of last minute scrambling, so far.

painting aftermath. cleaning, rearranging, complaining that there isn’t enough time to plan class.
