Well. Maybe next year...

I think I have jinxed my teams. They keep losing, it makes me sad.

Speaking of sports, I thoroughly enjoyed the thrashing the Patriots gave the Cowboys yesterday. I especially loved that final "there's eleven seconds on the clock but we're still going to score another touchdown just because we can because we ROCK" move. Yeah, that's one of the reasons why the Haters hate the Pats, but that's one of the reasons why I love them. No. Fucking. Mercy. Bwaha.

I decided I needed to do something other than watch sports today, so while I did watch the baseball, I also got out of the house for most of the day. Previously, the only time I got out, I've gone to the mall to get things like makeup and other stuff I've forgotten (try on dress/suit shoes though I still haven't found any good ones that fit/look right/aren't old ladyish or pointy toed).

Technically, I suppose I went to a mall today, it was just the large monument filled outdoor kind. Last time I was in Washington, the WWII memorial was still being erected and I really wanted to see it. I spent about two hours there marveling at it and playing the photographer and watching the veterans who were walking around it. You can tell them -- the old men and they all have tears in their eyes, it's really kind of sweet.

Different subjects.

Today is my Dad's birthday. He's 59. Still doesn't look a day over 45: and a young, healthy, Chris Noth in SATC sort of 45. I hope I inherited his aging, but the three grey hairs on my head say no. *sigh*

Also, I really like this Civic Hybrid commercial where the guy builds a tree for that other guy who's a major litter bug. Maybe I'll go for the Civic Hybrid after I get a job and a nice little apartment and some new furniture and pay off one of my student loans...

... of course, by then, the Hybrid will be a thing of the past because there will be no more gasoline. That's how long that will take (at least in happy, green, optimistic Kateland)
