Brett Favre is old

- We're going through Machievelli's "The Prince" in my Great Political Thinkers class. Pretty interesting book. Kill people when you have to, be nice when you can. It might make a pretty good life philosophy. Try it out and let me know.

- Oscars! last night. Algore won for best work in Science Fiction. I didn't watch much of it, since it's boring as all get out, and MASH was on. Also, there wasn't a single movie I was rooting for this year, unlike when the Lord of the Rings was in there. I guess it would have been cool if Will Smith had won, 'cause who doesn't like Will Smith? Was he even nominated? Shouldn't he have won regardless? Who can we write to about these things?

- Bad snow/ice storm hit here over the weekend. I almost died 8 times on the way to school, and 14 times on the way back, which was weird. You'd think it'd be the other way around.

- Brett Favre is having ankle surgery today. He hurt himself when he dropped his false teeth and bent down to pick them up, throwing his back out and causing him to fall on his ankle, which broke because of the severe onset of osteoporosis.

- Forest Gump was on Saturday. I can't decide if I like that movie or not. It's like when you jump out of a window, and you totally enjoy the sensation of falling, but the end is kind of a bummer.

- I won King's Quest V and Space Quest 2 this weekend. In unrelated news, I'm bored.

- The Today Show was all abuzz because some scientist claims to have found the tomb of Jesus with remains in it. Because "this could shake to the foundation the core of Christianity!" Shut up, Matt Lauer. Sometimes people are just too stupid to listen to.

- Skip Bayless is annoying. It's a universal consesnus, but he's still on tv every week.

- Apparently, they were eating pig snouts on Survivor this week. This is because Fear Factor got cancelled, and Murphy's Law dictates that something disgusting must be consumed in public viewing or the entire universe will collapse. Or because Mark Burnett is a wicca masquerading as Austrailian.

- Electricity went out last night. They've determined the cause to be a goldeneye satellite going off overhead. Or the storm. I'm kind of fuzzy on the details.

- Espn was showing WNBA highlights. The entire segment lasted about 14 seconds... and they basically showed all the scoring... since the WNBA began. I'm making a resolution to see a WNBA game before I die, so I can at least have an experience to compare to what that guy went through in the Alien movies when the WB frog pops out of his stomach.
