While trying to do determine if it's the Chesapeake or Potomac Primaries...

Hey, the other day I got a phone call from this guy. Since then, I got a flier from "America's Most Courageous Congressman". Who's that, you ask? Well, that's my representative, Dennis Kucinich. He is holding a "Valentine's Fun Raiser" (Fun, get it?) at the IX Center, and it stars Sean Penn, of all people.

$25 gets you in the door. $100 also gets a photo with Sean Penn. $1000 gets you a reception with Penn and a picture. Funny, I never see Penn at the local Marc's.

Tim Goodman talks about the impending changes resulting from the writers strike. It looks like the networks will reduce the number of pilots, but it'll probably take until fall or perhaps early '09 for things to resemble normalcy.

A sex offender won the Massachusetts Lottery. Party at Chuck E. Cheese, followed by "I'm goin' to Disney World!"

Hey, the best new DVD this week has to be "The Equalizer: Season 1". I absolutely loved this show, from the Stewart Copeland theme, an urbane vigilante, to the New York setting. Very cool.

Honest Valentine's Day cards. Some are funny.

How Google developed their logo. No, they didn't use a glue stick and construction paper to come up with it.

How to celebrate a soccer win, "Raising Arizona" style.



Last night, a funny thing happened while my brother and I were there to watch CSU stumble to the finish of their season. They decided to play one of their better games of the year and whip up on Wisconsin-Green Bay. J'Nathan Bullock benefited from a more aggressive offensive approach from the team and tossed in 39 points a league-high this season. That rates as one of the all-time best games in CSU history. Game was 37-all at half, Green Bay stumbled at the start of the second half and CSU rolled. Shooting 53% helps, toss in all the Green Bay turnovers and you have a rout.

Anyhow, it was a win against a team directly behind them in the standings, avenged an earlier loss to Green Bay, and set up a potential home game in the Horizon League tournament. There are 4 conference games left. Two at Valpo and #10 Butler this week, Milwaukee at home next week and a roadie to finish out at Y-Town. The Bracketbuster game also got scheduled against Marist to close out the home schedule.

CSU wins, 81-67.
