Notre Dame women's basketball: The first of two straight Final Fours
2012.03.31
The Notre Dame women's basketball team plays tonight in their second straight Final Four. I shot for the IU Student News Bureau last year, so I had the opportunity to sit on the baseline at Conseco Fieldhouse (now Bankers Life Fieldhouse) as they played to a home crowd against Texas A&M for the national championship. They lost, but meeting Elsa Garrison from Getty was cool. What wasn't cool was my hard drive dying the next day, so I was too preoccupied with regaining a working computer to post these photos to the blog. Until now. Yay, news peg!
Also, go here if you haven't gotten enough of today's action.

My cousin married Steve last May before he deployed to Afghanistan, but they made plans for a "proper" wedding at the Marine Corps chapel at Quantico once he came back.

As Marty McFly said, "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything."
...So, there was a picture here.
...It's not here anymore.
...You should read the caption.
My Loop, the most useful thing I've made since last week's chicken salad. (Funny story: I included the name of my table in the picture of my loop that used to be here, thereby opening me up to SQL injection and ultimate FAIL. Fortunately, I'm not famous, so no one malicious found it and thought it worth his/her time to destroy my blog content. Yay, humanity? Yay, anonymity? Definitely a yay to the mother of xkcd's Bobby Tables for reminding me of this glaring problem.)
