March Madness
My friend Caitlin informs me that I am currently leading in her NCAA pool. This my friends, is a shocker. No one, and I mean no one, has a more convluted bracket than I do. But I guess that's why it's called March Madness...=)
Speaking of, Slate has an interesting article explaining where the name came from.
George Mason plays Michigan State tonight, and I'm trying to figure out where I want to watch the game from. My friend Lindsey has changed our meeting location from Fairfax to Woodbridge, which means moving from home turf (where everyone will be watching the game) to a place an hour and a half's drive south in rush hour traffic. Social life vs. dead clutch foot? I ponder. Some of you may be wondering, "But Chris, you don't give two shits about basketball! Why now?" Well, because GMU is in the NCAA, and believe it or not, but I actually like watching college basketball when it's on. Lots of ball movement and strategy as opposed to the NBA. And it feels good to support your school team.
I'll probably head out of here in a bit, let's see if I actually decide to do anything tonight...=P

yeah I was surprised that you went to a basketball game ... but big games are fun no matter what the sport!!
I'm not huge on school spirit, but we need a little of it in France .. there is no concept of it in France at all, but I'm proud of my school at least the linguistics department we have a great team here, I just wish the government wuold get its ass in gear so we can get rid of all these strikes-- its really become annoying. There is a huge demonstration today downtown and I'm afraid its going to get a bit violent the way things have going. Stupid Sarkozy has been turning this place into a real cop state. The cops even prevented a pacifist demonstration from taking place this week!!! Ok I'll stop ranting...
Commenting on the above:
That was the first thing I thought about when I saw on the news that there were massive demonstrations going on in Paris; I wonder what it is like down in Toulouse? I'm almost beginning to believe what you said about the French being the "worst" demonstrators in Europe... ;P Hope things'll calm down a bit.
(Also, hope to talk to you again sometime! =))
so when are you going to update your blog huh???
