So, I’ve loved Villanova for the past few years.  They had Foye and Ray; then Nardi, and my favorite Lowry. They were left with Reynolds and now Fisher.  I went with them for the past three years and what did they do? LOSE.

Now when I have Clemson (by my own fault) going to the Elite 8 - NOVA schools them in the second half.  It’s all my fault really - I’ve griped about it before.  WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SHOOT A FREE THROW?  C’mon boys.  A less than 50% free-throw average is dispicable!  Discgraceful!  Down Right Disgusting!!  Do you want to be a pro?  Do you want to graduate from College?  Do you want to do anything in life?  Well, let me tell you 50% ain’t gonna cut it!

I’m actually happy for the scrappy Wildcats - but I’m sad for me.  Stupid horrendous free-throw shooters!  PRACTICE, but I’m still not picking you ever again - so there! I’m sure they care.

I’m not really mad.  Just tired.  Good night.

Nielsen Ratings called me and asked me to be a sample of America.  I’m sorry America.  I get to be a part of the Neilsen ratings for a week.  HOW COOL.

I’m actually lecturing on the process in a week and now I will have "hands on" experience.  AWESOME.  It is a Good I will have "hands on" experience.  AWESOME.  It is a Good 

Posted Date: : Mar 18, 2008 12:43 AMMy last "bulletin" proves it -  But I really need help on this.  Please advise your wisdom even if it’s following class tomorrow.

Anyone have a definitive answer? I need logical rationale. 

I suppose I could look it up in a text book as on-line help is not readily available...

But do you happen to know the difference between qualitative and non-quantitative?  Is it merely syntactics?  Does the government choose to use "Non-quantitative" instead of qualitative like they use public affairs instead of the outlawed "public relations/information"?

Arghhhh.   I understand that non-quantitative data includes videos or transcripts coded into numbers making it quantifiable on a more objective level. Which I guess would make sense.  Especially since government officials seem to be lacking qualitative measure ;p

I understand the difference between qualitative and quantitative.  I think I understand the difference between quantitative and non-quantitative data.  But does qualitative research coded as a quantitative measure, making it thus non-quantitative (but not necessarily qualitative) make sense?  Is this an ad hoc fallacy? 

I’m a crappy instructor if I can’t figure this out by tomorrow.  Hopefully I’m just tired! 

Feel free to send the answer to my work addy, or call,  if you figure it out after 7 a.m.

Thanks!

I couldn't even run around the track.  It smelled like an entire wresting squad rolled around after running in their sweat suits and sitting in the sauna.  It wasn't quite as bad as a hockey locker room, but close.  YUCK!

It's been a while since I spent the entire day at the Nomad.  Yesterday Chad, Lu and I did just that.  But I think we forgot about the Warren Ave gang meeting... We were supposed to have "one" at the Nomad, move to Comet and then Attari at Koppa's but my "one" lasted 9 hours!

The day started with SCUBA sinking (I wouldn't classify it as diving).  IT WAS SO FUN.  I totally want to get certified, but maybe after I do a couple of the other "I TOTALLY WANT TO DO" things.

Plus they told me I might have problems going super deep since I've had a collapsed lung and punctured ear drum.  But I'll never know unless I try (but I'm getting old, so I'll probably "cosult my physician before...").

Lu and Chad arrived at the Nomad at 3 and I shortly after.  And you'll never guess who was there - COAT STEALER!  That's right John Sullivan - coat stealer.  The dude that stole my $400 pea coat and gave it to another girl.  He was/is a very dishonest person.  I knew I'd never see the coat again so I went to the Wauwatosa police department and issued a theft ticket.  I know he paid the ticket because otherwise I would have had to report to court... Anyways  I hadn't seen Coat Stealer in about 6 years he was looking pretty rough.  That's what excessive drinking does to a person...  Anyway I made sure everyone knew my angst towards him.  

I (like usual) thought I was pretty funny.  He's such an icky person, I almost feel bad for him, but not really.  People (I didn't even know) were shouting out things like "Watch your jackets" and "theft ticket" eventually the dumb ass caught on and I think he felt sheepish even though he tried to play it off.  So we uneased him into leaving - it was awesome!

I was apparently in for the long haul and met a bunch of fun people and got to hang out with the crew. All in all it was a pretty fun night and I'm only slightly whiskey-dumb today.

 poopPosted Date: : Mar 3, 2008 7:00 PMPoop used to be one of my favorite words - it is a palindrome. My last birthday was palindomic - I turned 31 on the 13 or on the 13 I turned 31...1331 1331...

In two years I turn 33 on Friday the 13th - LUCKY Day for me :)

Anyway I may have to reevaluate my favoriteness of the poop palindrome lexicon.  

Today I had the screening typically reserved for older folks reaching the age of 50.  But because of my blessed family history of dying I was recommended NOW.  According to their charts I should have started screenings at 18...  Well I'm glad I waited this long because the process SUCKS.  I spent yesterday doing unpleasant things and after not eating for 36 hours I was a crabby, tired, starving girl.

Finding a ride was more then I bargained.  Since Dude and I are no longer anything, I thought I could rely on Trusty Tiff.  Well b/c of her own health-dealio last week she isn't cleared to drive until Wednesday.  Good thing Erica and Josh bellied up on this one... Not having family here sucks!

Because of the rain Erica's journey took her a bit longer than expected.  I tried to hurry into her car, but alas my gracefulness moved in.  I started slipping, regained, slipped some more and tried to steady; then when my foot went all the way in the puddle - BAM on my knees, then flat on my ass. Wet and cold I had to run back in to get a change of clothes - what could I do but laugh! 

Then when I got to the appointment I told the IV nurse that my veins are tricky buggers and like to dive.  They have had their share of prickin and choose not to play anymore.  She didn't listen, they never do... Now my forearm looks like a coloring book of purple.

The procedure went well - I think I don't remember.  And I can eat again!  Oh - and I don't have cancer 

Now has anyone seen my Bruce Willis wondering around?  He he he .
[Edit] [Delete] [View Comments]Subject : Who let Bush out?Posted Date: : Feb 20, 2008 7:26 AMSeriously.  And it took this long for him to really make his trip presence known?  

A US Military Headquarters in Africa?  Get him the hell outta there.  Seriously.  How many continents does this guy want to mess up further? 

Along the same lines - C'mon Milwaukee.  Moving Michael McGee ahead in the primaries?  The dude has been incarcerated for the past 9 months and he's not in there for freedom fighting!

People, show me you're smarter than you appear.  Seriously!
