Accumulated Thoughts

- Turns out you should wash bandannas before you wear them for the first time playing basketball with your friends. If you don't wash it, you will end up with an interesting bright red sweat/dye band around the crown of your head. Good conversation starter, but nonetheless not particularly desirable.

- Nor, however, should new bandannas be placed in the washing machine in a load that contains your socks, apparently.

- I recently bought some TicTacs that were, upon closer inspection, past their expiration date. There was no noticeable difference.

- Been on the website Hulu.com lately. A touch corporate for my tastes, but still, it has tons of TV shows and some movies for free, with "limited" commercial interruption, available for viewing online. Really a wonderful tool of procrastination. Last night watched an episode of The A-Team, and was quite happy.

- Reread Anansi Boys, the novel by Neil Gaiman, this morning. Very highly recommended.

- I'm going to go play some intramural broomball in like an hour, and I anticipate being a true menace on the ice. You don't know what broomball is, you say (again, neither does my usually warm and receptive spellcheck)? I pity the fool. You're on ice, wearing sneakers, and have these only vaguely broom-like sticks with which you attempt to propel the ball into your opponents' goal. Good sport for those of us up here at St. Lawrence who are professional attendees at hockey games (our guys are currently 22nd in the country! women are 9th!) and daydream of glory in rink.

- Shameless self-promotion much? Tune into my radioshow Tuesdays 3-5!

I think placing everyone on ice where they're forced to flail about somewhat levels the playing field for you, cam.
