I've got some shots of Stanford stadium but because it's built into the ground and the perimeter is surrounded by tree they're a bit meh. Might be able to put them up one day.

Oh..

the perfect chick..

but I can't help but think it's like your worlds are colliding..

it's like george costanza..

relationship george and independent george..



I don't know how i'd react if i was at a sporting event with a chick and she turned to me and said 'the roof over that section of the crowd doesn't quite match the roof over us - see how they seem to have white PA speakers above them but we have black ones..'

There was a massive storm cell across the South yesterday that spilt tornadoes all over the place and killed more than 200 people. One tornado almost hit one of my favourite football stadiums (apologies to Cheesie for linking to HuffPo)

Yes, it is literally the most frightening thing I have seen. But at the last minute it headed slightly east and not quite so north, so it missed the campus, but things in the city are very bad indeed.
