People I Know in the News

Category: GeneralLindsay @ 11:18 pm

Via The Ark and the Dove, a Catholic Terps alumni blog, I discovered a great feature article about Sister Dede in the Washington Times. She’s Fr. Bill’s actual sister, a religious sister, and an army surgeon. There’s a great slideshow with it, though some of the images are distressing at first glance.

Also in Catholic Terps/friend news, the MOEs took a great picture at the March for Life that’s posted on the Dominican blog. This was the first year I wasn’t able to take the day off to go, and I definitely missed it…in between teaching classes and calling parents to tell them that their children have done no homework, of course.

The Weekly Musing #5

Category: GeneralLindsay @ 5:28 pm

Before the Super Bowl kicks-off this evening (haha, pun fully intended on that one), take a minute to ponder these football-related questions. :smile: I’m not much of a football enthusiast, so I am going to try my best on this one… lol.

  1. First of all, do you even plan on watching the Super Bowl? Nope. I could not care less about football. It would take concerted effort for me to care less. I did watch in my apartment junior year, though. We had a party, so that kept my attention.
  2. What are some of your favorite foods to eat during football games? I don’t watch or go to any. We had potato skins, though, and I love those.
  3. If you could pick the musical act for the half-time show, who would you pick and why? No clue.
  4. If you won tickets to the Super Bowl, would you go to the event or sell the tickets for a ridiculous amount of money? Honestly, I’d probably give them to a football fan as a gift before I sold them. When am I going to be able to snag a gift as impressive as that ever again?
  5. Name your favorite football movie, or your favorite football-related moment from any movie. Remember the Titans was really good. I also liked We Are Marshall. I can go for a good football movie, but only because they’re never just about football. I like the stories.

Pandora’s Apology

Category: GeneralLindsay @ 4:43 pm

I’m listening to Pandora while grading tests. The tests are mediocre, but Pandora is great. Not only does it play perfectly through my computer speakers (loud enough for me; silent to my housemates despite my open door), but it/she just apologized for not being able to find info on Michelle Branch right away.

Then I accidentally loaded my blog’s admin screen in the same window, interrupting the music. You win some, you lose some.
