by George, it's cricket

Hundreds of extra cars in the Mason lot this Sunday. Why, I asked, and found it's the int'l student association games. An 8-team cricket tournament in the main student parking lot. And a lot of associated hooting and celebrating.
I do like this place.

update

Back to reality. Mason's run has ended. At least we've got some furniture, and a whole lot of name recognition. Ok, so the furniture has nothing to do with basketball, but the apartment is a lot more comfortable since this weekend's influx of stuff. Once we get blinds and the shelf for the kitchen, it'll be almost time to worry about how it looks.

Research has fallen way off. Not at all clear on how I'll be able to handle all these jobs in the fall. Can't imagine dropping the income, but I can't even pull off the workload as is. Then again, if my professors/advisors are any indication, that doesn't matter. The more you bite off the better, regardless of one's ability to chew.

What a crap game. Here's hoping Mason shoots better than Duke's stellar 30% and redeem this not-yet-sweet 16.

chapter

Hey, I'm a coauthor for a chapter! Who knew? Well, I did. But it's in print now. Cool receiving a copy of the book in the mail.

research

Research is going to take a lot more time and focus now. It'll be spotty over the next 2 weeks, and then classes are going to get in the way. Could be a frustrating month if somehow I don't find time through all this to move things forward convincingly.

regime

It's still a bloody regime. The far right gets too much out of the current deal. People have to see that sometime. Governor's races looked good, right?

Where are the "la paz; hamas' jokes? links?

eastern motors

Modern legend of DC auto sales and marketing, Eastern Motors, is clearly out-marketing our old friends, the Koons. Crystal's commercials got nothing on Lavar, Clinton, Brendan, Carmelo, and now Carlos, Sean and Robert. Oh, and Biz Markie.

Low-rent videography with superstar personnel. Who knew it could be so catchy?

PS the dude in the black polo in the new ad is the CEO.

interviews

Job interviews that we do are interesting. A suprisingly good part of these I/O jobs is learning a lot about what people do. Read a lot of Studs Terkel's Working while in Tokyo, and it's like that but out loud.
