just got my shipping confirmation from nin.com. hopefully the $7.99 ground shipping isn't painfully slow...

despite watching the whole game, I feel like I missed something...

does josh cribbs know how to call for "fair catch"? just curious...

how long until everyone blames this loss on romo?

what kind of record player do you have? I had problems like that with my cheap sony player, but I haven't had issues with my AT-LP120

as far as I'm concerned, his mistake regarding "the talk" was mentioning it in a public forum. I mean, it's kind of insulting for the mayor to paint a whole group of people as racist during a press conference, just like how it would be insulting to the black community if the mayor said "I tell my kids to be extra careful when walking in black neighborhoods". (flawed) statistics may back up both of those statements, but that doesn't mean the mayor should be saying them publicly. that said, I feel like both sides are making mistakes here. the mayor shouldn't have mentioned "the talk"; instead, he probably should have said ~"I have taught my children to respect and obey police officers, as every parent should" while not condoning the eric garner situation. similarly, the police officers and police union should show more public respect for their mayor, and they should be more respectful to their fallen brothers by not turning their deaths into a political opportunity. and I agree that both sides need to work together, just like I think the police departments and the black communities need to work together. unfortunately, nobody likes to take responsibility for anything, so that probably won't happen for a long time...

I'm interested to see how this plays out http://www.startribune.com/local/blogs/286695571.html for those not in the know, the Mall of America told protestors that they couldn't protest inside the mall, but welcomed them to protest outside across the street (albeit in a plot of land that's not highly visible to most visitors arriving by car or train). the protestors instead did their thing in the "main" rotunda near (arguably) the primary mall entrance, and officials ended up closing many of the stores in that wing of the mall during the protest. for what it's worth, I think the weather was relatively decent for december in mn

aside from getting attention, what was the purpose of people lying down in shopping malls across the nation? is that going to help bring police departments and the black community closer together? I'm sorry, but unless I'm missing something, it just seems like the protestors are led by the underpants gnomes... phase 1: get a bunch of people to lie down in shopping malls phase 2: phase 3: end racial disparities wouldn't it be more constructive for protestors to organize meetings between police departments and influential members of the local (black) community? try to figure out what both sides can do to help the situation going forward...?

probably still lying down on the floor in a mall... you know, "making a difference"

I don't care what happened in the last ~2 seconds of the Wolves/Bulls game -- the Wolves won that game (and then subsequently lost it when Wiggins made an oops). I'll take 6 points and 17 assists from Rubio, and 33 points and (what should have been) a game-winner from Martin. If the Wolves miss the playoffs by one game, this one will kinda hurt, but for now I'm just glad that the Wolves played pretty well down the stretch.

thanks

is it because he seems to only have a job because he's followed lebron everywhere he goes? went to the same high school, wrote for the akron newspaper, went to the cleveland newspaper, followed lebron to miami, and then followed him back to cleveland...

yay! now I can finally go to bed

just moved in with my fiancee a month ago, and this came up after the first weekend...

I'm excited for the regular pressing of this which doesn't come apart but still has locked grooves

got my vinyl today (from amazon). sounding great on the first listen

honest question: what are you waiting for? I mean, presumably you plan on living together (or at least living in the same town) at some point, so what's stopping you? and in case that made me sound like an ass, I should mention that I just quit my job a year early and my girlfriend and I moved to atlanta to be together (I was in MO, she was in MN). I really like her, and I figured it was worth risking my future career plans (I was one year into a 2-year postdoc, on the road toward getting a tenure-track faculty position) for the sake of our relationship. obviously that wasn't a decision that I made lightly, but I did what I felt like I had to do.

he might not have been able to see him because there was a car in front of him... sprint cars don't have spotters, do they? if not, how was stewart supposed to know that there was a guy standing in the middle of the track? I mean, seriously, if someone racing on dirt has to swerve to avoid hitting you, you're probably somewhere you shouldn't be in any case, it's a bad situation. I realize this didn't happen during a "sprint cup" race, but nascar should ban the whole "get out of your car and point angrily at the guy who wrecked you" thing. people see videos of tony stewart throwing his helmet at kenseth and think that's cool, and then something like this happens on a dirt track.

I don't get it... like, it really doesn't make any sense to me. why not just have an NBA-version of the NIT tournament while the real playoffs are going on? seems like a better idea than a midseason tournament, and then maybe the timberwolves might have a chance to win something (just like the gophers did!)

is it sad that I refreshed the window on my computer every ~10 minutes or so from 11am - 1pm to make sure I didn't miss this?
