Wow, I'm frustrated. It was really disappointing that Utah State lost last night in the WAC tournament final. However, I was feeling ok because ESPN's Joe Lunardi, their "bracketologist," had Utah State as a lock for getting an at-large bid to the tourney. However, I look at his bracket now, and we're considered one of the last 2 teams to get in. This is historically a BAD spot for the Aggies to be in. We get shafted a lot. We ended our season with a 17 game winning streak, won our regular season conference (which is a top 10 ranked conference), have a top 30 RPI... and yet we might not get in. I hate it. I wish it was less subjective and money-driven.
Argh. They better get in.
Hmmm... k, see ya.
UPDATE!
Heck yes! They read my blog and put the Aggies in the BIG DANCE! I'm pumped!

Already a pretty big fan of DailyBurn.com
I just started using DailyBurn.com yesterday, and I'm a pretty big fan already. It looks to be a promising way for me to keep tabs on my exercise, calories, protein and sugar intake (being hypoglycemic, I need this), etc. It's pretty cool. I would upgrade to their pro version if it wasn't so expensive, but whatever.
I was surprised by the fairly thorough list of foods that I could look up. I found everything that I ate yesterday. (Even store brand stuff.) Check it out if you like, or don't. Whatever.
K, bye.

The best band you probably haven't heard of, and MARCH MADNESS!
I know I've plugged Imagine Dragons multiple times, but they really deserve some credit! They're a GREAT band just getting some traction in the biz. They've recently released their first EP on iTunes and will soon be releasing their second. Many of their songs are available on their MySpace. I really like this band, and think they're really going places. (I'm NOT just saying this because I know one of the members of the band, (Otherwise I'd be plugging the good bands that my close friends have been in,) they are a legit favorite that I'd like even if I didn't know who a couple of them are.) Check them out, for realz.
As for March Madness, I've got it. Whatever that is supposed to mean, I'm kind of obsessed right now. I read ESPN.com all the time, and watch for updates about my Utah State Aggies. I really can't wait for the NCAA tourney. I love it. I'm pretty sure I know more about the tourney from reading all these articles than almost everyone I know. (Maybe there's a couple of you out there that have March Madness worse than I do.) Not likely. Really... I'm obsessed.
I don't think I've announced it, but the University of Utah waitlisted me. This does not bode well for BYU, as it is ranked higher. Based on my LSAT and GPA I compared favorably to other people that were accepted there, so I thought I was in for sure, but they decided to waitlist me for some reason. Oh well. We'll see what happens. Wish me luck!

Losing my voice...
I have a sore throat that started up on Thursday and is steadily getting worse each morning. I'm not going to let this stop me from going to the basketball game tonight, and I didn't let it stop me from playing racquetball this afternoon. I know, I'm dumb.
However, this is the LAST home game of the season, and I can't wait to watch the Aggies one last time before I'm off to some law school. (Speaking of, I got waitlisted at Connecticut, (I'm pretending it's yield protection), and I got offered a scholarship at Cincinnati, cool!) Anyway, the Aggies are playing the other WAC Aggies, New Mexico State. They're currently in 2nd in the WAC. We've already solidified the regular season title. We're going to kick butt in the WAC tourney, too. I'm excited. Anyway, I'm going to probably lose my voice completely tonight if I do go. Can't help but shout and cheer at the games!
Uh... don't know if there was a point to this post other than my excitement about the game tonight.... k bye.
P.S. I just discovered this incredible Rube Goldberg Machine music video by the same guys who did the awesome treadmill music video, and the one where everyone blends into the walls: OK Go. Check this one out. It's incredible!

Racquetball did not go well today...
Yeah, I got my butt kicked at racquetball today. Spencer beat me 6 games to 2. Ouch. We played forever though. Apparently I have one excuse for so much losing, I'm getting sick again. Ugh. Mid-semester, right on schedule. At least I know it's not the Swine Flu again. Woot.
Getting super excited for D.C. Can't wait.
Back to racquetball: How is it that really ancient guys, like those pictured above, can handle racquetball? It KILLS my knees. They get super sore. I thought old guys are supposed to have particularly crappy joints. Maybe they just know how to play way better than I do. There's a VERY good chance of that.
Whatever. K, bye.

Wow, best episode of Lost in a long time.
When season 6, the final season, started, I was really having my doubts about how it would go down. The acting seemed a bit off, and I couldn't really get into it. After last week's episode, and the episode from yesterday, I am back into it full-board! I LOVE Lost. Let's face it. It's an incredible show. Despite the fact that it has now been placed solidly in the realm of science fiction television, it really offers a bit of everything you could want. Drama, action, humor... it's all there. OK, I guess it's not a musical yet, but it offers JUST ABOUT everything. The acting on this most recent episode fully changed my mind about the poorer acting this season.
I can't wait to see how it all plays out. If you STILL haven't given this show a chance, go on Hulu and start from the beginning*. I promise you will find something you love about it. Unless you're lame. Don't be lame. Love Lost.
*Absolute requirement that you start from the beginning. It doesn't have any of the same magic unless you know the whole story. I hear tons of people, and I was one of these people once, who say, "Oh, I've seen a couple episodes. I didn't know what was going on." Or "It seemed really weird." You can't watch random episodes. Just start from the beginning.
K, see ya later.

Will the post office keep delivering Saturday mail?
I'm a bit bored. Can you tell? Apparently the USPS is facing crazy debt and financial issues. They are proposing some big changes that would be necessary to improve their business model, but one of the first things to go could be the delivery of mail on Saturday. They're proposing a 5-day mail schedule. (I just started singing "The internet killed the snail mail star," to the tune of "Video Killed the Radio Star.")
Perusing other news items, (hopefully more interesting ones), quoting from CNN here, "The massive earthquake that struck Chile on Saturday may have shifted the Earth's axis and created shorter days, scientists at NASA say.
The change is negligible, but permanent: Each day should be 1.26 microseconds shorter, according to preliminary calculations. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second." THAT'S CRAZY! That was one strong earthshake. I hope that they are able to get back on their feet soon. For all our preparing for natural disasters and worrying about them, these recent earthquakes remind me that we just can't prepare for everything. I have to enjoy my life as I know it, and do the best I can while I've got time.
K, see ya.
