The Common Room

I’m in class right now. I don’t like it.

One Thing I Love: American Museum of Natural History


If you haven’t gone up to the AMNH yet, do yourself a favor and go. You can’t help but feel like a little kid as you walk around looking at the larger than life exhibits. Particularly awe-inspiring are the dinosaurs, the famed “Squid and the Whale,” and the Giant Blue Whale. It’s not too expensive. Just go. You’ll love it.

Also, I’m pretty sure Brain (of “Pinky and the…”) narrates part of the tour in the Gem/Mineral room. So that’s cool.

One Thing I Hate: Fantasy Football


I’ve been addicted for years, and it was only this week that the sheer ridiculosity (a new word, pass it on) of it all caught up with me. I have a tough match-up this week, and I have been totally stressed about the possibility of Reggie Bush returning. Will his knee hold up? If it does, he’s a great fantasy player, but if it doesn’t I’m wasting a valuable roster spot. Regardless, I need to stop obsessively checking for updates about this man’s knee. It’s just weird. Right?
