The switch

Well this is my first post using Blogger for Word, so I’ll let you know that I think at the end of the post.  I had been using w.bloggar for ever, and it worked well, but I had some complaints.  Mainly, it would hide itself in the taskbar when minimized.  More then once I would forget it was open, reboot, and then my half written post was gone.  This lead to more than enough excellent posts being lost forever.  I still have questions about some functional issues, so we’ll see how it goes.

Okay, I’ll try a picture…



Talk about a homo moment.  But at least they’re smiling.  That was from the Georgia game, and since then the Cats have played better in each outing.  There are going to be a lot of ups and downs the season.  For the first time in a while, the Cats are just as good as other teams in the SEC – not better.  Tennessee and Florida are going to be tests (although Florida is starting to look suspect, like Louisville did).  I hope we can go down to Vandy and get a W.  The Arkansas game this weekend will also be interesting, but I think we can pull it out.  

April is starting to feel gradually better.  She’s still nauseous, but I think it’s slowly improving.  I think she’s starting to get some energy back as well.  She’s pretty exhausted when she gets home at the end of the day, but I wouldn’t expect much else.  She’s finally starting to get a little belly, so that’s really exciting.

I’ll just link a few things that I’ve found interesting from the last few days…

Future American lawyers to be proud of. - Alberto Gonzales spoke before law students at Georgetown today, justifying illegal, unauthorized surveillance of US citizens, but during the course of his speech the students in class did something pretty ballsy and brave. They got up from their seats and turned their backs to him.

Democrats and Republicans Both Adept at Ignoring Facts, Study Finds - Researchers asked staunch party members from both sides to evaluate information that threatened their preferred candidate prior to the 2004 Presidential election. The subjects' brains were monitored while they pondered.  "We did not see any increased activation of the parts of the brain normally engaged during reasoning," said Drew Westen, director of clinical psychology at Emory University. "What we saw instead was a network of emotion circuits lighting up, including circuits hypothesized to be involved in regulating emotion, and circuits known to be involved in resolving conflicts."

And now…

P.S. I don’t really like Blogger for Word.  Image links are too friggin’ hard.
