Tuesday night was The Shirt Game meaning that they gave out shirts to the people who went to see UF play basketball. Usually it's just to the lower levels of the arena, including the first 1000 students. But since UF isn't doing so hot this year and Georgia is horrible, they gave them out to everyone, all 12,000 of us. The design is pretty cool, and we won the game so all is good in the world. I also managed to get on national TV (ESPN2) a few times since we were in the 2nd row and they thought our section was super cool for some reason.

I was watching TV last night, and I hear this familiar infectious annoying sound. Looking up, I realize that the internet has now invaded my TV, and the infamous Hamster Dance was being used in a commercial for ring tones. In case you missed it, the whole internet fad started about 6 years ago (and when I looked up the date, I felt REALLY REALLY old since it doesn't seem like it's been 6 years) with Hamster Dance. It eventually spawned off dozens of imitators that had everyone from Al Gore to Jesus dancing to annoying techno remix music. It's the last thing I'd expect to see on a TV commercial, but I guess when you're desperate you go to great lengths to get attention.

I recieved a really freaking awesome cookie jar from my friend Sarah today, which was a very belated Christmas present. I really needed one too, so now I have somewhere to store all my cookies, biscuits, and other random food things. My roommate also got me a white chef's hat that says "Anthony, Master Chef" to complement the apron I recieved. Cooking's awesome!

The experts agree: Bin Laden is either Dead or Alive.
