Song of the day – Wolf Like Me -TV on the Radio

This swine flu, or H1N1 flu, is getting out of control! Your cats are now at risk. My job even issued “flu kits” to everyone on campus. This included cough drops, 2 different types of wet naps, tissues, and a one time use thermometer strip. All this came bundled in a nice little pouch for all the nerds to clip to their belt… How cute.

Somehow I wish that this were 1950, and I was in 3rd grade. I would get to miss learning cursive to watch a black and white video shown on a projector telling me that if I should see the swine flu, my only defense is to duck and cover, and that anyone who has the swine flu is a communist trying to spread their beliefs on me via this virus.

We’re all gonna die of swine flu!

Houston Rockets - Holy crap, what a game! Who says the NBA regular season isn’t exciting? The scraptastic Rockets (who lead the league in scrapiness) fell to the hated Lakers 103-102 in OT despite double digit contributions from 6 players. I like this team because Daryl Morey picks his players based statistical like scrapability, and their scraptitude test scores.

Houston Astros - Won their 27th world series…. wait that was the Yankees. Now people from the North East are even more insufferable

Houston Texans - Brian Cushing won AFC Defensive Player of the Week this week. He is sixth in the league in tackles with 66… whoa 666, is Cush-Lash the devil? On the other side of the ball John McClain is reporting that TE Joel Dreessen is preparing for his first start by eating pages of his playbook… not literally… oh John McClain you are so funny, and you look like a Walrus, but fatter.

Rice Owls - Ben Braun doesn’t care that the Rice Owls have been picked to suck in basketball, because the players parents are still going to bring orange slices at half time, and at the end of the year there will be a party at Peter Piper Pizza in which everyone gets a trophy, yay!

Houston Cougars - Another reason to join twitter, Case has taken his Heisman Campaign there.
