Nobrainer’s Think Tank

• It seems that elections in Iraq went fairly well. I hope this is a sign of the start of a stable, friendly middle-Eastern democracy and not just a worthless milestone.
• I’m accepting the fact that C-ville is due for a huge snowstorm. In that last 14 days I have been told to expect 7 to 14 inches of snow. After about 2 inches and some sleet, I’m pretty sure that a random blizzard is due at any time.
• Proposals for a JDGA weekend seem to be focused in March. Click here to contribute.
• I hate jigsaws. They rarely cut straight. Today, I will purchase a circular saw.
• National signing day is on Wednesday. I’m excited to see how Clemson finishes out.
• Some folks think that not having a bowl game helped recruiting for the Tigers. This makes me wonder about the benefit of small bowl games. Perhaps a team that only accepts bids to the upper-level bowls could show a real advantage.
• MASH (the movie) cracks me up every time I watch it.
• I have to TA dynamics for the first time tonight from 7-9. I hope my calculus isn’t too rusty. Sadly, there’s a help session at the same time next week, which means there will be no Super Bowl for me. Perhaps I’ll set the VCR (do we still remember what VCRs are?) to tape it so that I can be up-to-date on the best commercials. Odds of a worthwhile halftime show: less than my chances of scoring with both the Olsen and Bush twins within the next seven days
• I’ve realized that graduation may really be only a bit more than a year away. This time I reckon I’ll apply for jobs (and grad school?) well before I actually finish.
• That about sums it up.

Edit: It looks like I will get to see the Super Bowl. We figured that kids would skip the help session and swamp us on Monday during office hours. So the help session will be moved. Hooray! Go Anheuser-Busch, kick Miller’s ass!
