Cal can't beat SC? Does it mean much if you go to the Rose Bowl because there was a better team, but they went to the BCS game?

Times they are a changin'.

So, my senior year of high school, my high school had its first white (and first non-black) homecoming queen (it was not me, though I was nominated, but only because four people I knew who were juniors happened to be in the same homeroom). This year, the homecoming queen is east indian (but born here, and I know this because I used to (god I'm old) babysit for her and I remember her mom being pregnant with her) and the homecoming king is almost scandinavian-looking. (My mom sent me pictures.)

WTF?

Anyone (ahem) who grew up, or at least went to high school, in the same city I did may find this interesting. All one of you.

I'm from Bowlegs OK.

My mom said they cancelled Homecoming this year on account of last year it led to dancing.

We were hurt by SC losing, but we still go by beating them.

A principal was peeved that girls wore Captain Underpants costumes, because the costumes made them look topless from a distance.

Myspace is pointless.

Teen Web sensation MySpace became so big so fast, News Corp. spent $580 million last year to buy it. Then Google Inc. struck a $900 million deal, primarily to advertise with it. But now Jackie Birnbaum and her fellow English classmates at Falls Church High School say they're over MySpace.

"I think it's definitely going down -- a lot of my friends have deleted their MySpaces and are more into Facebook now," said Birnbaum, a junior who spends more time on her Facebook profile, where she messages and shares photos with other students in her network.

From the other side of the classroom, E.J. Kim chimes in that in the past three months, she's gone from slaving over her MySpace profile up to four hours a day -- decorating it, posting notes and pictures to her friends' pages -- to deleting the whole thing.

"I've grown out of it," Kim said. "I thought it was kind of pointless."

this weekend belonged to my friend Heather. Her boyfriend got sick, and she ended up wearing half of his gorilla costume. She unzipped it down to her navel, and she wore the negligee and blonde wig that she was originally going to wear. She got to be the gorilla and the girl.

My friend Jim had a pretty good Max costume from Where the Wild Things Are.

My brother went as a congressional page.

My bright green gogo boots were quite the hit.

And what's the deal with paperclips? I always end up with too many of them.

Rice is garbage. It's only useful for sushi, and even then, you only need half the amount they put under the fish. I order Chinese food without rice a lot and the guy behind the counter always gives me looks. It's got no fucking flavor. No fucking flavor at all. Why the fuck would I want a nutritionless bulking agent added to my food? It's like bread. Fuck bread. Bread has no goddamned flavor. There's nothing more annoying than that jackass who says "Oh, they have the best bread here." My suspicion is those people are closet contrarians trying to start arguments, just like their asshole ideological cousins who say stupid things like "oh, the crust is the best part" in regard to pizza. Bullshit. The crust is never the best part. That's like saying the fucking rind on a wheel of brie is the tastiest morsel, or the grisled fat in a steak is the best section of the cut. There's being contrarian and then there's just being an ass.
