I, Brandon

• I always enjoy the Utah/BYU game. Not because the teams or the games are always great, but because the fans take it so personally. Love it. #
• The theme of this years #collegefootball season – Beastly defenses, awful offenses. There isn't a single team that is great on both sides. #
• Hopefully one of the three people who get the channel Utah/BYU is on will keep me updated. MWC will never be taken seriously w/ this TV pckg #
• Look at OU, running the ball behind what amounts to a high school JV line. Shreveport here we come. Love it! #sooners #
• Louisville fired Kragthorpe. He lost games, as opposed to having an affair and paying for an abortion. Yes, I think Pitino should go as well #
• What is this Fox commercial? A radio show? A poker show? NASCAR talk? #Badvertising #hipsterstalkingnascarandpokerwouldbeboring #
• I stand corrected. Suhweet. #Sooners #
• Yaaay INT. Perfect position for a three-and-out and a FG! #
• Gundy should call the play where they stand there and get a delay penalty again. #sooners #
• Finally caught up on the game. Another one where OU should be up by 17…or down by 10. Back to the land of misfit linemen #sooners #
• Enjoying the holidays with the family classic, Drag Me to Hell. It's really good, halfway through. #
• About to cover a basketball game for the first time in 3 years. Remind me how this sport works again, please. #
• Hold me closer, Tony Danza #
• Quite simply, all I want to do is a zoom, zoom, zoom and a boom boom. #
• A few entries by me on @desnewssports "Best Games of 09." (The 38-3 game was GREAT in the first half. Seriously!) http://is.gd/52kuT #
• What's the best #iPhone battery extender / recharger thingamajigger? Any Suggestions? #
• Signs I've been watching too much football on TV: Had a dream last night about Nationwide Insurance lady Sandy Garza. She lectured me. #
• Nice win by #RSL! Reminds me of my days at the Jazz, how we'd (PR staff) get yelled at any time RSL got good press. Hope they're over it now #

• What a horrible sports day for my teams. TU is getting whupped. OU got whupped in both sports. Redemption = booze. #
• At home on a Friday night for the first time in several months. Does not compute. #
• Final Bingham 35, Davis 24. Bingham just wore em down in the second half with mini-Tebow. #
• Davis 24, Bingham 21 beginning of 4Q. Bingham about to score behind their own version of Tebow #
• Shocker at the half – Davis 17, Bingham 7 (Utah 5A championship game) #
• Time to take a shower then head out for another afternoon at Rice Eccles. #
• I don't care how often you badger me about it, Netflix. Nothing can make me put Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist on my queue. Nothing. #
• RT @edsbs: Stefanie Spielman just passed away. Awful news. Condolences to the Spielman family. #
• Hear the truth: Saxophones are awful. They ruin many, many rock songs. If it aint Jazz or Yakkety Sax, I want NONE OF IT. #
• Took me nearly two hours to get from Provo to SLC due to Utah County traffic jam on I-15. No wrecks no construction to be seen. SIGH. #
• I like seeing what movies are popular in other places. Like West Virginia. "Amazon Jail" is huge there. Google it when the kids go to bed. #
• Since Blockbuster closed the only store near us, we switched to NetFlix. Streaming to the PS3 is awesome. #
• RT @jeskeets: This mascot is a deer on a motorcycle. Your argument is invalid. — http://bit.ly/3alaT7 #
• RT @sproutmarketing Sprout Keeps Growing…We've merged with Connect Advisors and Utah marketing guru Mark Hurst http://is.gd/4Y9Lv #
• RT @NewsOKSports: OU linebacker Ronnell Lewis perseveres for #Sooners despite disorder: http://bit.ly/1YUQAO (Sickle cell is scary) #
• Streaming the #Tulsa game while I work. After the way football season has gone for my teams, I'm ready for basketball. #
• RT @SteveWeber: If your account is sending out auto DMs & you forgot where you signed up for it, just change your twitter password to stop #
• Toys 4 Tweets charity promotion from @LasVegasHilton. http://bit.ly/41uKk1 Plz RT for a good cause! #LAS #Vegas #Charity (@kathydaltonslc) #
• I am listening to the Them Crooked Vultures album. It's FANTASTIC. #
• Everyone is playing the Stoops to Notre Dame game again? #Sooners #
• From the weekend: Good rebound by #Sooners. #Tulsa crapped the home bed again. Loved seeing USC and Belichick de-pantsed. TCU is good. #
• Lost 8 pounds this weekend. In the hardest & worst way possible (not involving amputation). #

I really only go three places during the week: My house, the gym and my office. Since I go to the gym late in the evenings the parking lot is mostly empty and I don’t have to deal with bad parking (though I have been there around noon on a summer day, and the housewife putting on makeup while on the cell with her seven kids screaming at her from the back rows can hardly be expected to steer her Armada Tank Edition between two TINY lines).

My office is a different story. For whatever reason, these people can’t seem to get it right.

Adventures in Parking, Part II (Part I here)

First up, this car gets extra space because it’s in the handicap spot. Whoo! It’s like the last bathroom stall! Truly the executive suite of parking spaces.

The trick this car pulls off is almost as bad as the four-spacer. I don’t know what to call it, but the person only managed to get about half the car in the space. Even then, he wasn’t able to get inside the lines. If we as a human race can’t achieve even the most basic principles, such as pulling our Man Moving Machines into the designated areas, then we deserve the destruction heading our way at the hands of God’s great laser beam in 2012.

Man I wish this picture was better. This is the Matrix truck driven by the she-beast. No one does more to further the art of bad parking than this woman. In this particular picture it as if she got sort of close to a parking space, and just hit the brakes right there in the middle of the driving aisle. Failing to even come close to any yellow lines? She may just be the Rosa Parks of bad parking.

• We are experiencing the vaunted wintry mix here at the stadium. Rain and snow ridin durrty together. #

I posted about this rather more professionally over on my company’s blog, but over here I’ll just say this commercial kicks ass and I want to drink Irish whiskey now.*

* – I won’t because it costs more than a few bucks. I’m cheap. But hey, awesome commercial!

• Getting rid of bad football vibes by enjoying a drink and the classic Dr. Hattori vs Michiba "Truffles" episode of the original Iron Chef. #
• Representatives from the defunct Freedom Bowl to visit Norman this week, just to see if, you know, #OU wants to hang out in early December #
• Well, that was crappy. Total offense – OU: 325 Nebraska: 180. Turnovers will bite ya every time, especially one on the 5 yd line. #
• And #tulsa loses on a last second field goal. What's that? Why yes, I will have another drink. #
• In happier news for the state of Oklahoma, #TU just scored to go up 45-37 on Houston #

• My dad went to the TU/Houston game tonight instead of staying home and watching the #Sooners. Might have been a good move. #
• Forget Tebow & Colt. The best player in college football, and the guy who deserves to win the #Heisman, is CJ Spiller. Dude does everything. #
• Thankfully Comcast added ESPN 360, so I'm getting to see this one instead of the USC/ASU game. Think I'm a couple plays behind live #Sooners #

Is that sometimes you find files on your computer that you have no recollection of downloading, or what purpose they were to serve.

Such is the case with this picture.

There’s so much that’s right with this picture it makes sense that I would save it. What use for it I had in mind, I don’t know.

What a neck though.
