TMI on Twitter

Posted: 29th September 2009 by T.F.P. in Rants

Have you noticed in the past few months that a lot of celebrity-related gossip stems right out of posts that people make on their Twitter accounts? For example, when Kanye dissed Taylor Swift, most of the news articles about the incident included a bunch of comments that people like Pink and Kelly Clarkson made via [...]

Bears at Seahawks — 09

Posted: 27th September 2009 by T.F.P. in Sports

For the second week in a row, the Chicago Bears came away with an ugly victory instead of a crushing defeat. This time, they spotted the Seattle Seahawks a 13-point lead before pouring on 17 unanswered points, and then holding off a steady Seattle attack to seal a 25-19 victory. Jay Cutler had a good [...]

Week 3 Football Picks

Posted: 25th September 2009 by T.F.P. in Sports

I’m no expert or anything, but I want to try my hand at picking some NFL games against the spread (ATS). I hardly ever get these things right, so I wouldn’t go wagering your entire paycheck based on my “insight”! Also, I’m just choosing a handful of games, not the entire slate.

This is just an amazing story that involves my friend Kat. I am so completely thrilled for her that she got to reunite with her three siblings! I am having a hard time processing this, and I’m a complete outsider. I can’t even begin to imagine what kind of emotions Kat herself is going through. [...]

I admit that I’m addicted to tech toys and can’t help spending money on these gadgets. For instance, even though I already had two iPod Nanos that worked perfectly well and weren’t filled to capacity, I went out and bought the latest model the week it was released — just because it had some new [...]

So busy…

I have been so totally swamped lately that I haven’t had much time to hang out online like I usually do. The first 3 weeks of grad school were pretty easy. There was a lot of reading, but I had no problem keeping up with it. Then when Week 4 (last week) hit, I suddenly [...]

Steelers at Bears — ’09

Posted: 20th September 2009 by T.F.P. in Sports

The Chicago Bears came away with a huge win against the Pittsburgh Steelers today. It wasn’t pretty, but at the end of the day, they got the “W” that they needed. The defense gave up some big plays and the offense had some trouble moving the ball (particularly in the first half), so there’s still [...]
