Notice something different? No, I didn't get my hair cut again. Is it good? Better or worse than before? Let me know.
And if you know CSS, could you tell me how to (1) make the sidebar a fixed size and (2) increase the space between the body and the sidebar? I hate how they're so close together.
This football game is making me sad. I wanted the Colts to win, even though I knew they couldn't beat the Patriots, and now my head is telling my heart, "I told you so!"

Saw Mona Lisa Smile with my mom today. Yeah, my mom; we decided to have a mother-daughter day today. We both liked it. It was a little depressing for me though, as a feminist.
Funny story: my parents were on our city's website today (Bay Saint Louis yo) and when they clicked on the link to the Hancock County Chamber of Commerce, a porn site popped up. Apparently the guy that made the website didn't realize that the Chamber's website is hancockchamber.org, not .com.
I have to write this essay for the Ole Miss Honors College that asks something about what literary character resembles me the most. My problem is, I rarely read fiction. I always read nonfiction books. So I'm debating whether I should just be like, "Okay I read books about real people" or try to figure out some literary character that I resemble. Any ideas?
OMG: I just saw a commercial for the ESPNZone, and the Boston College Golden Eagle mascot was in it! Look for him in one of the first shots, I think he was with Stuart Scott.
Clay Aiken is going to be the musical guest on SNL next week. I am not looking forward to it. I *hate* that song "Invisible." First off, it's a stalker song. Have you listened to the lyrics? He says, "If I was invisible/ I would just watch you in your room." That is scary! Definitely a turn-off if you ask me. Also a turn-off: the improper usage of the subjunctive mood. Yeah, I'm a language freak. But I cringe every time he sings, "If I was." It's "If I were" dammit!
Wow, I'm watching SNL right now, and Jessica Simpson does a dead-on Britney Spears impression. The episode's been okay so far. The impressions on the American Idol sketch are good. And the two play old people well. It was also funny during the monologue when Nick Lachey's microphone didn't work. They covered well though.
One more thing: Everybody needs to give it up for Michelle Wie. She was excellent during the Sony Open, missing the cut by only one stroke and playing a terrific round on Friday (she shot a 72 and 68 over two days, leaving her at even). What makes this really wild is that she's a 14-year-old girl playing from the boys' tees. Here's a quote from ESPN: "The youngest player in the PGA Tour record books, Wie posted the lowest score ever by a female competing against the men." I think Michelle is going to be a great leader for women in sports, and I wish her all the best. Keep your grades up!

Why can't Sprite make a caffeinated version?
Before I begin, I should explain for those of you whodon't live in the South that Coke is the collective noun for all carbonated beverages. A typical exchange at a home in Mississippi would go like this:
Host: Would you like anything to drink?
Guest: Do you have any Coke?
Host: We have Diet Coke, Sprite, and Orange Soda.
Guest: I'll have a Sprite.
See how it works?
Now anyway, here's what happened to me today. I was really tired today in school, almost fell asleep in class (gasp), so I went searching for some caffeine. Coffee wasn't available at 2:00pm, so I had to settle for a Coke, which I rarely drink. I'm more of a water and juice girl, but that's not much of a pick-me-up. For the record, the only kinds of Coke that I like are either clear or fruit flavored. (Oh and Barq's root beer makes a red creme and vanilla flavor, they are great, but only found on the coast I think.) I really wanted a Sprite, but Sprite doesn't have caffeine, so I went to the Pepsi machine for a 7up. Do 7ups have caffeine? I couldn't remember, and still don't. Well, I click on the 7up button and a freaking Sierra Mist pops out. And guess what. It has no caffeine! I drank it anyway, and promptly almost fell asleep in class again. Why can't Sprite make a caffeinated version? I would stockpile it.
