phillipses...

football sunday: i'm passively rooting for seattle because jake delhomme is from breaux bridge (re: i hate louisiana and take pleasure when the community at large is disappointed, especially in regard to sports). in the afc game i don't REALLY care, but i'm pulling for the steelers. i'm grateful to denver for beating the patriots (and tom brady, ass) but colorado is a red state, pennsylvania a blue. that's a good enough reason to take sides in a game for me.

yeah i changed my internet name again. i've diagnosed myself as a bipolar, schizophrenic scatterbrain so... there. a rose by any other name would still be snarky and misanthropic.

I dig the new name, personally.

Yes, it fits you quite well. My journalism prof told us about a time when he dictated a story over the phone, and used the world "ellipsis" to set a quote apart. It appeared in print the next day, because the typist apparently didn't know that it meant "..."

Oh, and I'm with you all the way on those NFL predictions. The playoffs so went my way that I'm frankly a little scared. The commentators will be so bereft of anything to say now that their golden-boy quarterbacks are all out of it. They might need crib-sheets!

I love an underdog Super Bowl. I like both teams, but I'll go for Seattle since they haven't been there before.
