new blog direction: game theorists do it rationally

well thanks for the overwhelming response to the contest, everyone made me feel really awesome about this blog. yep, you guessed it, i received zero suggestions. besides being a huge blast to my ego, it kinda confirms that no one reads this thing, so i'm free to say whatever i want. nipples.

[author's note: while writing this, i finally received an entry in the contest. ms. hayley shelton suggested "reverse cowgirl", under the premise that it is sexual and clever. i'd have to agree.]

maybe i should have created an overall theme for this thing, instead of writing about myself all the time. maybe someone would actually tune in if i had created a game theorists blog, for up-and-coming economists to discuss ideas. probably anything would have been better than anecdotes about myself and funny links (at least i think they're funny).

for the few of you still tuning in, here's a quick recap of my time-off from the blog: the weekend was a blast; i went to sewanee and hung out with dick and stu. rach and her roommate flew down, and so they got to see first hand the awesomeness that is the lodge (sewanee chi psi house, not dick lodge). sunday night, i hung out with the dan, william thomas oakes, III, their roomie peter, and sammy, the world's most OC dog. give him a plastic bottle and he doesn't stop chewing it. two-stick trivia was same-old. we ended up stealing our friend jack's fantasy baseball team name, "the tort-reformers". some 260 lb. guy started a fight with one of our teammates and kelso yelled at him to get the hell out of two stick trivia. but he was thrown out, so all was well. and last night, david had an after-party with about 60 people, but it was quickly broken up by the oxford police, and dave received a nice noise violation.

yes, that paragraph was not interesting, so if you've made it this far, i offer you brian's awesome song of the month:

"common people" -- by william shatner, with joe jackson. produced by ben folds.

no really, its good.

next post won't be whiny, i swear.
