Insanity
That was an unreal game. In fact, it was the reverse version of the Clemson game last year, except this time, WE come out of nowhere to win. Everything was running on all cylinders for Maryland until BAM! the Phonz runs 100 yards the pick six. That led the way for 28 unanswered points and our first ever overtime victory. Wow, wow, and wow.

Fun anecdote - I was able to watch the game through a almost-legal video feed of ESPNU. I downloaded some program and got ESPNU streaming at a pretty good quality. Then something strange happened - the channel changed. During commercials, the channel menu came up and it would bounce around a few channels, mostly other football games. That's when I realized I wasn't watching a feed of ESPNU, I was just watching a feed of some guy's TV.

the post office daggered me
Hey, we won! I watched the game by coughing up five bucks to accselect.com for a pretty high quality video feed. The "announcing" was great in a "boom goes the dynamite" kind of way. Although to be fair he didn't have a color guy with him - he was pretty much forced to talk to himself for three hours. Pretty uneventful game all-in-all; I'm just glad we picked up a win. Sagarin did rate us the best 0-2 team in the nation, so we deserved it.
Anyway, to the title. I thought it a bit odd I've been in this swanky apartment for a month and a half and I'd yet to get a single utility bill. In fact, I hadn't gotten any postal mail period. I call up Comcast and my energy company and - sure enough - they've sent me bills. After I paid up over the phone I dial up the PO to ask WTF. Turns out they've been returning all my mail because I hadn't verified with them that I'm at a "good address." I've never heard of such a thing. Is this an uncommon practice or is this like when I had no idea you could take a train from England to France?

zach braff lied to me
So I went by Wendy's for lunch today and got my favorite 3 dollar meal in the universe - jr. bacon cheeseburger, 5 piece chicken nuggets, and a medium coke. well, guess what. The executors of Dave Thomas' estate have evidently applied Professor Szalinski's shrink ray to the ole JBC. My damn palm is bigger than it now! When the hell did this happen? Ugh! When I fall victim for that "I deserve a hot juicy burger!" marketing campaign, I expect more than a gnome-sized portion (I was going to say Hobbit-sized but then I remember they eat a lot).
In other news, thanks to my Legal Methods III textbook, I now know that "crying typically indicates sadness."
In other other news, there were three game-winning field goals made in about a five minute span today. Have NFL kickers gotten better while I wasn't looking? Maybe we should start calling it the Big 32.
