In case you missed it, here is Radiohead's "mindblowing performance" at the Grammys with the USC Trojan marching band:
Greatest band in the history of the world. Pure artistic genius.

bad day at the office
Sometimes at work I spend a lot of time on the phone trying to explain the intricacies of financial aid to prospective students. It can be a challenge, but usually I can effectively communicate the appropriate information in 4 or 5 minutes. Not so today.
This prospective student just didn't get it, but wanted to keep talking and talking. And then he wanted my opinions about random, non-financial-aid-related matters, but he kept interrupting me when I would try to answer him. He would start a sentence, then before finishing he would ask, "Do you know what I mean?" I never knew what he meant.
This was perhaps one of the most painful conversations I've ever had to endure.
This is me after 8 minutes:
After 15 minutes:
After 30 minutes:
Finally after 34 minutes and my 4th offer to send him an email with all the appropriate information, he decided he got what he needed.
These are actual scenes from the conversation, they are not a reenactment. My work study, Chad, was so entertained by my dramatic painful facial expressions that he decided to start taking pictures. All I can say is that guy better take some classes.

the fray
I wasn't too impressed with the first 2 songs, but the rest of the album is great. They maintained the quality sound that made them so popular in the first place, while making the songs unique enough from the first album.
Perhaps, though, the best thing about the band is their testimony. Here's a great article highlighting their faith. I stole it from Justin's blog. I tend to steal a lot of things from him.

super bowl XLIII
This certainly wasn't the most painful loss I've ever experienced (see UA-UNLV 1989 or UA-Illinois 2005), but it still smarts a bit.
So close.
So close.

everything's amazing, nobody's happy
This is absolutely freaking awesome. I don't know who the guy is, but everyone should watch it.

hell freezes over
I never thought I'd see these two logos together. Of course, in a year when ASU basketball is in the top 15 and the UA might not even make the tournament, I guess it shouldn't be that much of a surprise.

"to repel"
The impressionability of a 3 year old is frightening. I don't even know where Mason learns some of the things he does.
Tonight we were watching a TV show where one character told another character that he was trying to repel her. Mason turns to me and says, "Daddy! Repel means that you try to make people go away."
Like I said. Frightening.
