Let's go R... Blue (dammit)

I did actually make that mistake at least once during this game.

Pictured are Michigan players on the ice with Ferris State. Before I went to this game, people kept saying, "Cool. But Ferris State is good," as a way of mitigating any disappointment I might have felt going all the way down to Yost to see them lose. We got there a bit late, but just in time to watch two of our players get sent to the box... which turned out to be pretty sweet because they never scored on us. Granted, we also managed to not score any freebies after they pulled their goalie at the end of the 2-0 game, but whatever.

As for the fan culture, nothing beats Cornell. I think every one of our cheers is better than their versions. Also, I am sick of the UM fight song. The band's repertoire's pretty unexpansive. The only thing is Michigan fans dance, and it looks like fun.

All in all, a good game. I'm definitely going to at least one more!

New Glasses

After six years, Corey finally got a new pair of glasses. The old ones were still surprisingly functionally in their own snap together before wearing way.

The Old Glasses with wire hangers and lens to pop in and out at will.

New, much classier glasses.

My Next Home?

I may have a chance to work in the UK for 3 months this year. Have my fingers crossed.

Candyland?

There was a hard freeze (15-20 F) in Houston this weekend and people were trying to salvage their plant-life. These reminded me of lollipops!

Shrimp + Grits = ...

Sorry I don't have anyone named Ben in my picture tonight... hate to be the one to break that trend.

You're looking at two of my apartment-mates, Kyle and Lauren, assembling our first meal together in ages. Shrimp, grits, spinach, and a barbecue sauce. It was so fine.

Greetings from PA

So, this picture is 1. a way for me to brag about my cute kid! 2. a stand in for something I saw and laughed at but didn't have a camera...we actually got over a foot of snow here, and driving out of our complex that day (after they FINALLY cleared our parking lot...) we saw a bunch of traffic cones at the side of the intersection. Or rather, the top 4 inches or so of them, sticking out of the snow, as if they were the little baby ones and the snow was at ground level. You probably had to be there, but I figured I needed a virgin post, and this was better than nothing...

Since Nobody Wants to Guess

I went to the Mathisens for a rocking New Years of video games, reading, movies, and very interesting conversation in which I learned that the Pope cannot currently crown a Holy Roman Emperor and that absolution does not come from tackling the Supreme Pontiff. This is the best picture I've taken with my new camera and is, of course, Ben Mathisen. I also have a good blackmail picture of his one year old self throwing a mini tantrum that I will save in case needed.

Law Studying: A Study of Studying Law

This is my first post ever.

Anyone want to guess where I went for New Years? No Cheating.

My absolute favorite movie

I love, love, love this film. The humor, the music (both the score and soundtrack), the writing, the story, the beginning, the ending... heck the middle is great too.

Booty Shakin'

Did I tell y'all I joined a salsa team last year?
