Widukind Diary Entry #11

Topic 1) Last night I had my second fantasy baseball-related dream. Towards the end of last season, I had a dream in which Brad Hawpe died, a solid yet unspectacular member of my championship team. I don't really remember what happened, other than me running around with my hands on my head saying "Brad Hawpe died?!?" While sleeping last night, I had myself experiencing a similar sentiment of distress; as commissioner, I had forgotten to set up the league before the season started. I'm sure there exist an immense amount of psychological analysis that can be applied to these horrid nightmares, but I just use them to realize how dedicated I am to the sport. Yes, the sport.
Topic 2) I just accidentally deleted the entire "Memo" on my phone where I keep my observations, so now I have nothing to base the rest of this entry on.
Topic 3) I'm watching TV right now. MadTV is so fucking stupid I can't stand it. Why is this show on all the time? Why do these actors suck? Who writes this shit? Why do I keep watching it? These are just a few of the questions I have about this disgrace to comedy and greater humanity.
Topic 4) MadTV ended and now I'm watching Discovery channel. After multiple failed tries, this cheetah finally suceeded in taking down a small wildebeest. What I don't get is why the rest of the herd just walks around honking and looking at their comrade getting eaten alive. If a few of them just walked up and poked the cheetah and snorted it would run away, but they don't. It's almost as if they understand the concept of natural selection and nature's need for predators. Probably not.
Topic 5) Yesterday my macroeconomics teacher passed around a sheet of paper on which every student was to write their name, year, intended major, and a little something about themself. Being the inquisitive being I am, when the paper came to me I of course snuck a peak at some other people's entries. Some girl wrote her name, year, major, and then summed up the rest of herself with, "I love God and music!"
Wow. I just put down "sports and good food".
Topic 6) An Animal Planet narrator was just pointing out how intelligent octopuses are, and then proceeded to explain that the female will lay 50,000 eggs but not eat for 3 months because she has to protect the eggs, and after the massive birth, the mom dies. A kid on my hall observed "well, that's not very smart". A very astute observation, indeed.

RIP Bobby Fischer.
