march gladness

no, i'm not dead. i didn't keel right over and die when my beloved jayhawks lost in the first round of the ncaa tournament to the bradley braves (although i did ask the waitress at johnny's to shoot me in the head when she asked if i wanted anything else to eat or drink). i've thought a lot about what i was going to blog about after kansas stumbled out of the gates for a second straight year. i thought about posting this (http://media.putfile.com/Allen-Rays-eye) and talking about how the hawks losing is a lot like someone poking my eye out and stomping on it, but i've written enough depressing posts (right, gina?). after the game, we went back to our friends' house and sang karaoke songs - "wind beneath my wings," "you are the sunshine of my life," "sailing," and "do you believe in magic," - together on the couch. i could just feel the love in the room, and in hopes of keeping that feeling alive, this is gonna be a positive, glass is half-full, kind of post. trash-talkers be damned!
