Vandal Indoor
In case anybody is unaware, our track team is probably one the best performing athletic programs we have. And this weekend is the Vandal Indoor Track meet. Being as we have one of the largest indoor track facilities in North America, there should be plenty of room for all of us to go and support a team that actually wins. Go Vandals!

Get the Lez out
Numerous sources, including British rock magazine NME, reported that Led Zeppelin would headline this year’s Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee. They were almost right. It’s all-female tribute band Lez Zeppelin that will be playing during the three-day music bash. As for the real headliner, it’s Metallica. So, yeah, I wanna go.

Asthma attack
On Monday I discovered that my usual morning barista at the Admin Building coffee shop has severe asthma. Unfortunately, I discovered this after my perfume gave her an asthma attack. So now I am perfume free on Mondays and Wednesdays so I can get my coffee without taking the oxygen of others. Please, campus, be perfume-free at the admin coffee shop.

Out from under me
Careful out there, it’s really slippery. It’s also really windy. So when you lose your footing even a little bit, the wind grabs a hold of your booted feet and tries to make them fly out from under you. So yeah. Be careful.

Those hungry eyes
How can this be happening. I have yet to truly go full-on, petal to the shopping cart metal grocery shopping yet this semester. Yes, I have purchased milk, cheese, those cheese and sour cream Ruffles. Only the essentials. My mom sent me a Winco gift card — love you, Mom — today, the day I had reserved for grocery shopping, and now I find out Winco is closed. It’s a sick, sick world. But there IS that deviled ham that I’ve been saving for a good time…

Parking lot blues
I love the maintenance man at my apartment complex. He has worked super hard this year on getting rid of all of the snow and even fixing my toilet, but even a great maintenance man can’t fix everything. The snow decided to melt on the parking lot just enough to make it extremely difficult to get out of in. Oh well, I guess I’ll just walk in the extreme winds.

Humanity by the foot (squared)
The U.S. government is monitoring one of its spy satellites that is expected to fall to the earth in coming weeks. The chances of being squished are not too horrific, though. I figure that, viewed from above, the average person is only about three square feet. If there are 6.6 billion of us, that makes 19.8 billion square feet of people, or about 710 square miles of flesh. Even when you factor in the increased exposed surface of a sleeping person, or the fact that jagged metal satellite bits could zip in nearly parallel to the earth’s surface, once again increasing the target area, we’re not that big of a target.
