i love coming home:

mom: jay, are you going to see "eight crazy nights"?
jay: no.
me: why, do you hate jews?
jay: sort of.
me: me, too.
mom: you're really not going to see it, jay? i thought it looked like a movie you'd like.
jay: eight crazy nights, my butt! (slamming fist on counter) there's only ONE day to celebrate our lord!

and later, after a conversation in which i explained that the guy i'm dating is half polish:

me: (huffing and puffing as i drag in a huge bag of laundry)
dad: what's in there? a body? is it ben?
jay: (muttering under his breath) dirty pollock.

he's hot, he's dumb, and he's the pac-10's career leader in passing yards. and you can vote for him for heisman here.

yes! one final out of the way. today i made a presentation on my language education research project (the survey of which i made many of you take), and it not only went well, it went great. i really love speaking in front of groups, and this topic is so important to me. getting to use the line, "... thus making male business majors my enemy," in a formal presentation, and actually having my professor and classmates laugh, was also nice. and my hair looked good, too.

sports has become my newest aphrodisiac. strange, strange thing that is happening to me. i've found that interceptions and injuries get me going in a horrible way. there's something about making out to sports center - and liking it - that is simply not right. a recap of the sexiest sports happenings of the weekend:

1) usc raped our rivals, westwood high, in a ridiculous 52-21 conquest. highlight: in a "heisman-worthy" move, our hot, dumb and talented quarterback carson palmer ran the ball down the sideline and lept over a defender, flipping his gorgeous neanderthal-shaped head over heels and landing hard on his back at the 1 yard line, then leaping to his feet victoriously. yes.
2) my newest favorite team (just barely newer than the new favorite world champion angels), the la kings, surprised all of hockey with a 2-0 win over the league-leading dallas stars. memorable moments included a dallas star busting his nose on a king's head. i've never seen so much blood - it looked like his face exploded. it was so rad.
3) in a stupendous upset, the washington huskies beat the brink-of-national-championship wsu cougars 29-26 after three overtimes. obvious best moment was seeing jason gesser go down in a potentially season-ending injury. who knew a quarterback's leg could bend like that.
4) not as loudly touted but equally important as any of the above matches, the usc daily trojan-ucla daily bruin blood bowl took place on friday. i'm not clear on all the details but somehow the boy i'm seeing got injured. playing football. how hot is that?
