So, what's on the plate
So, what's on the plate for today?
1) Cleaning up the apartment. Spic-n-span, as they say. I hate doing this, but thanks to my wonderful six-speaker set that came with the Dell (which was totally unexpected), I shall have music to ease the drudgery. And it will be drudgery.
2) Go to the driving range with frere Richard. Richard is a good guy, and you should remember that because he's going to be a politician one day. He almost doesn't want to be one because, well, there's a lot of bad stuff associated with being a politician, but it's the only thing he wants to do. Thankfully for all of us, he's a guy who wants to make government smaller. If he can stick it out, I have all the more reason to admire him.
3) See how my NCAA bracket is doing after the two games today. I entered a contest at ESPN (me and about 1,000,000 of my closest friends), and I'm proud to say that after the two games last night, I'm in the 92.9th percentile. I picked Kansas to beat Arizona, and that was the kicker. Thankfully, no-one saw Marquette coming, so that isn't going to hurt me much. In fact, my score's up from about 30 (percentiles here) after the second round, so all in all, I'm doing Van-Tastic. In the second chance challenge (where you re-pick your teams before the Sweet 16 gets underway), I'm doing even better -- I'm in the 98.9th percentile, with an overall rank of 1965. Out of 500,000 people, that's not too bad. There's bound to be at least a few of those who chose Marquette, though (and I didn't), so I doubt I have any chance of winning this thing, but it's still fun to know I'm in the top 10%, at least for a day. (All this is bound to change tonight. With a little luck, Texas will beat Michigan State, and Oklahoma will cream Syracuse, but there's no telling.)
