Dot chewed up Virginia's phone just a short while ago. Virginia doesn't know yet because she's asleep, but she's not going to be happy. It has a touch screen and little puppy teeth don't bond well with the thin plastic. I guess that I could be happy that this is the first thing of significance that she has ruined, but I'm pretty much just pisssed. I guess it was bound to happen eventually.
The Huskers beat Colorado this Friday in dramatic fashion. Alex Henerey and his tiny little body kicked a 57-yard field goal to put the Huskers up by two. A few seconds later, Ndamakong Suh intercepted a pass and ran it in for the touchdown. I flipped out. I really don't like Colorado football fans. If I had to summarize them in one word it would be assholes. That's what makes this win so sweet. Not only did we beat them, we prevented them from going to a bowl game. That's like two wins in one. Gooooooooooo Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddd!
Work should be pretty easy this month. I only have five things to check for compliance as opposed to the normal nine or ten. It should be an intensely boring month.
I'd been doing pretty well with my Alan Greenspan book. I've made it through about eighty pages so far which I find impressive because it is a big book. It's very entertaining so far learning that if Greenspan hadn't attained prominence somehow he would be a complete moron. It seems that he knew everybody of importance in both his time and even now. He dated Barbara Walters. He was good friends with Ayn Rand. It's amazing what good ideas and the right connections can do. I don't mean to take anything away from the man because I think he's the most brilliant economist that I'll ever see in my life. People are laying blame on him at the moment for the current economic crapfest but I call these people Republicans and furthermore highly doubt the claim. I think if I were to dig into the facts I would find that Greenspan was barely holding things together with policy and when he resigned the house of cards toppled. Who knows. I won't for a bit because a new Car and Driver just showed up.

Vicious dogs! They are everywhere!
My girlfriend's mom's dog, a husky, was accused of chasing some cattle and forcing them to break down a fence and escape, so the dog had to go live at another place for a while. But now, they are thinking it wasn't the dog. It must have been another one, because a similar occurrence just happened.
And yes, that 57 yard field goal! Craziness!
To tie the past two paragraphs together: there's this dude from my high school, Aurora (the Husky is the mascot), who just signed with the Huskers. What makes it really cool is that he is only a junior!
Craziness! Wow! Dog biting up phone! Far kick! Cattle being chased!
