Minimum flair
So Boise St. just set a new Idaho higher education enrollment record. More doesn’t mean better but it does mean more money for them and less for us. This is just one more reason I wear my anti-Broncos pin with pride.

Beer is tasty

This gem from Marv Eveland didn’t make it into the story on B1: If you want to avoid a hangover, you should drink microbrews. They’re heavier, and so they fill you up and get you toasted quicker, which means you’ll drink less and you won’t ruin the next day. Also, they taste better.

Buy flowers
I just want to encourage all the single ladies out there to make themselves feel appreciated this Valentine’s Day. Buy yourself flowers, ladies. And no, don’t lie about it and pretend it’s from some secret boyfriend. You don’t need some guy to buy you flowers. Buy yourself flowers — they’re pretty and you deserve it. I bought myself daffodils, and they are delightful.

Big decision
I can’t stand knowing that I want to eat something sweet, but not knowing what. I go to the vending machine and sit there like a weirdo trying to decide. The biggest problem is that I almost always choose wrong. Grrrr.

E is for eavesdrop
I spent my Saturday evening in the ER. Since no one died, it actually turned out to be a positive experience. There’s just so much interesting stuff in there: security doors, drawers with ambiguous labels and people holding ice on their faces. Probably the best thing is all of the conversation fragments you can hear through the curtains. I wouldn’t make a special trip to the ER just for these perks, but if I’m there already, I might as well enjoy the ambiance.

Black Thursday
I hate Valentine’s Day. Always have, always will. I’ve worn black every Valentine’s Day for the last six years. We should all be feeling and sharing the love every day of the year, not just when they make seasonal candy for it.

What road block?
Some friends and I headed to Jackson Hole this last weekend to go skiing. Of course, the weather closed every single road into Jackson because of an outrageous storm that was dumping snow all across the range. This of course was all the more reason to get there, so we headed out on some farm roads to bypass the barriers. Needless to say, coming up on the wrong side of a road block does not make IDOT happy. We might be getting a $300 ticket in the mail ... but it was so worth it.

Allergies gone awry

After regularly experiencing somewhat strange allergies at my other job last week, things turned nasty. After going to the Student Health Center with teary, swollen eyes, icky sneezing and coughing, I found out it was all still just an allergic reaction. Who would have thought print toner would make me a walking freak show for days?

Pimping and kicking
Four of my friends finished a gallon of tequilla by 3 p.m. Three of them then pounded a gallon of Jager ­— one had finally passed out. By the end of my sober night I had spend an hour trying to stop my friend’s finger from bleeding, breaking up fights and writing all over someone’s entire body — ska pimping. The worst part is that someone ended up kicking in my front door and now it doesn’t close.
— Alexis
