So, right now, getting ready for bed, there's a huge mosquito just attached to the ceiling. Don't you just hate the feeling of a pest out-of-reach from you and when you turn out the lights, you know it's there? Yeah, I'm in that stage now.

Congrats to the Sharks, on their way to the conference finals after building up a 3-0 series lead on Colorado. The best part about the playoffs is their compactness. You get a game about every other day with each game taking advantage of the energy built up on the last. Contrast this to the NBA, where games are separated by a couple of days and the first round isn't supposed to end until May 4! That's also when hockey's second round is supposed to end.

Through my travels in the last few days, it's amazing to see the number of businesses headed into different ventures. 3 of the more interesting ones I saw last weekend. Curry in Hurry, yes, the Indian fast food joint with the awkward name, has closed for remodeling. Not a big deal except for the very small sign in front. Not only can you get your Indian food, but pizza and pasta is also scheduled to be put on the menu. Down the street at some cellular phone place, not only will you get a free phone with activation, you can also get a free caricature! Finally, in SJ, in that plaza near the Auto Row, a Vietnamese place opened up named Banh Me Beef Noodle. First, is the spelling wrong? I think it is. And second, the thing that cracked me up was the fact that under the grand opening sign was the fact that they were still selling burgers.

In an era when SAT scores are becoming obsolete, a new university is placing added importance on it. Organizers are planning Ronald Reagan University in Colorado, a 200-acre world-class facility in the Rocky Mountains with estimates of an opening in 2010 with 10,000 students and 2,000 faculty members and plans for medical, law, and public policy schools. But here's the kicker. One of the criteria for admission is a 1400 SAT. Isn't that a little harsh? "You've got a 1390? HAHA! Nice try!" Well, at least I could get in.

What happened? My standing was hurt in the eyes of Google. I'm down to 122 from 36 in a search for ranting. Maybe a link will help.
