Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
It’s Speedweeks in Daytona, Fla. I’m the only one in the newsroom who cares. Not only will this be the 50th Daytona 500 but it is also the 10th anniversary of Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s only 500 victory. Despite the team, number and sponsor change, I’m still cheering for Dale, Jr. The No. 88 Mountain Dew Amp/National Guard Chevy Impala will be in victory lane this Sunday.

Generous sweets
I’ve got to say, we at the Student Media office are pretty damn lucky.
Nowhere else I’ve worked have I been so well taken care of.
Aside from the stellar work environment and amazing guidance from my co-workers at the Arg, and especially our adviser Shawn O’Neal, there is never a workday where we go hungry.
Almost every week, there is a plethora of goodies and snacks, and many of those times, it’s because of Shawn’s wife, Shane’s (and Jack’s) thoughtfulness.
Thanks Shane for the Valentine’s Day cupcakes and all the other times you’ve filled our happy bellies with brownies and sweets.

Hardcore heating
Our Avista bill came yesterday. Everyone has been complaining to me that their bills are ridiculous and over 100 bucks. I was more than euphoric when I found out all this time that I’ve been freezing my butt off over the last month is only going to cost me $18.66. Not even that — $9.33 when you divide it between the two roommates. So put on an extra sweater, buy some environmentally friendly light bulbs and suck it up, buttercup.

Picking up the whip
A trailer for the new Indiana Jones movie is online, and let me just say, “Eeeeeeee!” I squealed like a 9-year-old at a Hannah Montana concert and I’m not (particularly) ashamed to admit it. I hope it doesn’t suck too badly, or failing that, I hope it’s at least enjoyable suckage.

False alarm
Instead of letting its defunct spy satellite fall to the earth, the U.S. government now plans to shoot it down with a missile. I’m curious how much of this strategy is out of concern for the safety of earth-dwellers, and how much is out of concern for whatever information and technology the satellite may harbor. Either way, I’m looking forward to some really cool video.

Goin’ to Arkansas
I am really excited that I am going to be spending my Spring Break in Little Rock, Ark. I get to go down there with an ASUI Alternative Spring Break team. Now, I know Spring Break is still a month away, but the idea of getting out of Moscow for a week is so thrilling. It’s the only thing keeping me going.
