The Insanity of the Office Pool
The annual rite of spring, the NCAA office pool, has come. Just like the annual swallows returning to Capistrano, every year millions are bet on these 33 college basketball games. It’s dumb and amusing and you’ll always lose. I guarantee it.
I got Memphis over Kansas in the finals, 74 to 68, with NC and Duke rounding out the final four. Why do I keep picking these losers? As long as Memphis takes it, I think I can get some money. I don’t know anything about the college game today, so that I don’t have to worry about analysis of what teams are good. I’m just picking, because every thing is a push.
Go Memphis! (I have no idea where that school is or even if they are any good.)
Chubby rain
This will be crazy. The iPhone track alone will be f’ing packed like sardines, because aren’t they supposed to release iPhone 2.0 around this time?
Remind me again why I work at IniTech.
Green and lean
This is nice thing to hear about. Oregon representative Earl Blumenauer introduces some resolution to aid in making bicycling a viable means of transportation in the US.
We need some of this type of stuff so that a)we begin to mitigate our reliance on gasoline, b)we offer ourselves an alternative means of transportation, c) we give ourselves some exercise to win our own fat war, and d)we make nicer communities.
Yo, CapitolSwell! Get to work!

Dolphin saves whales in New Zealand. That’s just too cute to pass up.
Reminds me of Doug Adam’s “Thanks for the fishes!” when the end of the world arrives and the dolphins fly away leaving us dumb humans left to perish.
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day features Amy Adams in all her princess-ness as singer/actor, Delysia LaFosse juggling three men. Frances McDormand is the titular character who helps her Delysia sort the men until she finds her true love.
It doesn’t sound appealing. It wasn’t at times, but what can you ask for a Sunday matinee. I feel that this was one of those stories that old time Hollywood gave to their leading ladies to pass the time. Not the classic, but a solid sub-par A. It will fill out the bill.
McDormand must have jumped on this at the urging of her husband, Joel Coen, because this looked like one of the Coen brother period pieces they so love. Except in London, every thing was the look.
3 of 5 stars.
