Yesterday I drove 2 hours to hand out with my old friends from summer camp then drove back. It was super fun but exhausting. One person couldn't make it so we made a sign to represent her in the group photos.

Today I'm heading to my first ever tailgate as part of DC United's home opener. $8 for food and drinks. Considering that inside the stadium a hamburger is like $6 this doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Screaming Eagles?

Today I felt an earthquake that didn't seem like a big deal, except it went on a while.

Apparently it was actually a big deal and it broke Mexicali.

Screaming Eagles?

Indeed. It was my first tailgate. I got there fairly early because I was expecting long lines and whatnot. Towards the end there was a beer line but that was in. I actually saw guys get their beer, then immediately get back in line since they'd be finished by the time they got to the front again.

The game itself was more a contest of who could suck slightly less. The 2nd goal was quite pretty, though it was against the wrong side.

Greetings from Beautiful Downtown Milwaukee Wisconsin...

... where I am for work for the next couple days.  Seems like a nice city.  Anybody know anything to do here?

Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers began visiting here in the late 16th century.

Seriously though if you were there longer I'd hit up my friend who has been there for years and ask, but he takes forever to get back to me. I can give it a shot.

hm.

so I have these two assignments due tomorrow. both have not really been explained at all. one is an "outline" of my final report for this research project. I was told "don't include any data, just base it off of our research questions."

which seems like it will be:

A. Who is a member of (organization I'm profiling)
     1. first member
     2. second member
etc.

what can possibly be gained by doing this?

The other is a "first draft" that will not be graded in any way. But I have to turn it in. She also said something like "some of you might turn in outlines, that is OK."

I really do not understand what these assignments are for, or what I am supposed to do.

They are for making you start on a project so you don't wait 'til the last minute. They are not good at their job.

Or, possibly, they are for betraying the prof's inability to communicate her expectations in a way that will alert you to the problem before it adversely affects your grade. What you are supposed to do: Ask more questions.

[theinevitable]

yeah, one of them is definitely that the professor is trying really hard to be nice and helpful, and it is her first year teaching. She seems to worry a lot about over-loading us or freaking us out. I like her a lot, though, she is great. her class last semester was one of my favorites ever. Also, she thinks I am way clever-er than I am, possibly because of that paper you helped me with, JL.
the assignment is basically "make up a fake chinese person." as I work on it I am realizing more and more that this is a weird assignment. especially because I do not speak chinese, and I can't just make up fake chinese names, because every name means something. I will accidentally name my person [SUCK MY COCK PROFESSOR].

the other guy, I think he is just really bad at his job. he is a bad anthropologist, and a bad teacher. ughh.

[wombat]

...laugh my ass loose at this pug's story.

This had better not get around. Pugs do not need another rationalization for getting fat.

i think bluemoon is not too far away?  she might could probably use a beer or so.

That was either a product placement ad or at least one Canadian journalist is just a little bit nutty about their hockey equipment. Awesome.

if thats all the reaction he got from wolfie, he must not have put much ass into the whack.

AW:  I hear Miller Park is nice.  Not sure if the Brew Crew is at home or on the road right now though.

Cort:  I am a former Screagle, #123 in fact which makes me an old-timer.  But when I a) got married and had kids, and b) the Nats came to town, I kind of gave it up.  One of these days I'm just going to show up at a tailgate and see if any of my old homies are still there, though.

The Brewers are playing the Cardinals at Miller on Friday.
