To The Finish!I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday weekend. I know I did; it was nice to relax but also get out a lot and meet up with people I haven’t seen in a while. Family time is also a big win, too.
So this is it — four more classes and my final “regular read more.. ThanksgivingA long, long time ago, my dad once said that Thanksgiving was his favorite holiday. Being young and not yet refined, of course, my brother and I were befuddled. Thanksgiving was just dinner and passing out with football in the background, and of course, a couple days off. But there was no read more.. Cereal Fail

A little comic relief for your Thursday — this is most decidedly NOT cereal.
Deploy The ThermalsSo yeah. It’s cold outside, in case you haven’t noticed. Consider today’s numbers at the College of Charleston’s weather station — the temperature was only above 50 for a short time past midnight — we didn’t get back there. Temperatures are freefalling into the 30s at the time of this writing (roughly read more.. Trevor Time No MoreThis is depressing. The Padres have withdrawn their contract offer to Trevor Hoffman, effectively ending his time in San Diego and apparently on very lousy terms.

The Final CountdownIt’s that time of year — the final stretch into the exam period and the end of the semester (and, for me, the long-awaited end to my college career).

There will be more to write in the days ahead. For now, though, silence. And sleep. And rejoicing read more.. Welcome to November!Editor’s note: I’m writing this from the BlackBerry. There may be related typographical errors; apologies in advance.
I’m on location at Mellow Mushroom downtown tonight, ringing in November after a reasonably successful Halloween. It’s amazing we’re so close to 2009. It’s amazing that next week, some sort of history will be made: read more.. Halloween
It’s Halloween again, which means it’s time to don a costume and run amok. It’s particularly helpful that it lands on a Friday night, and the weather is expected to be most excellent.
My plans for tonight? I’ll be headed back to Norm’s with Tom to commemorate the one-year anniversary of us being called read more.. Movin’ to the groovin’the girl Riot asked over Twitter: “[W]hat songs -move- you?” Needless to say, I’m a sucker for “moving” music, and 140 characters can’t do my list justice, so here we go (with last.fm links to listen if possible):
