An ordinary day? More like a day of mourning

It really sets you off your comfort zone when you've got really good things get outweighed by really bad things. That happened today.

While the only good thing that happened was our men's basketball team exacting revenge over UC Irvine 86-80 on Senior Night, at the same time, three crappy things happened.

First, our women's tennis team, who everyone thought would run the tables, saw their season turn into disarray, losing to...wait for it...UC Irvine, 4-3. When I got home, I learned that my older sister forgot to tape the game, AND not tell me beforehand that she couldn't do it, so I could transfer the duties to my mom.

As if things weren't bad enough, danbooru, an image-hosting site that features moe images of every persuasion, was dead. Long like akibakko. Ultimately, the lack of servers, combined with traffic beyond control, was danbooru's undoing. Akibakko.net is now its successor. May she (it means Akiba[hara] girl) reign as the moe image hosting site of the Web from this point forward. Rest in peace, danbooru. You will not have died in vain as we mourn your loss. *plays Taps*

The right choice.

I knew there was something unique about the students here at Cal State Long Beach. One of the great things about Long Beach State is prioritizing health and wellness to complement their education and putting their knowledge to work in the real world. When I heard today that the students voted yes to the referendum on having a new Student Recreation and Wellness Center, I pointed to the heavens, and taped a video thanking them for making the right decision.

This center is going to be packed every day. With Frog’s Club One being inadequate, this will add to more people working out at the university. And with this being a part of tuition, the students here at the Beach will be utilizing it, probably more than the other services here. Not to mention more work opportunities.

With the students making the right choice, Men’s Fitness would be hard pressed to still give us the unenviable epithet of America’s Fattest University. I think they’re going to back off for the long haul.

I’m ready to see the guys off against Irvine till I meet with them on Friday at the ACC. That’s the Anaheim Convention Center, not the big power conference of the same abbreviation.
