More Quidditch

If you just want the pictures, then go to the pictures.

Team Ravenclaw had a strong showing tonight. By the end of the night we were the only team left with all seven players. But it was long, and tiring, and we just didn’t have the game in us this time.

It looks like I’ve become full-time keeper, too. Which is fine by me. Who needs all that running around anyway?

Also, might I add, I was so happy that my good friends Rebecca and Elizabeth joined our team. They were great chasers. And beaters.

It Came from eBay; It Came from Hong Kong

I got a package today from Hong Kong, and in it was my new capo.

I love my new capo!

There are a few more pictures I took today.

Sports section invades front page

Sports invasion

On Tuesday morning, the sports section of The Daily Texan invaded the front page, claiming territory once the dominion of local non-sports news.

This coup came unexpectedly, though it appears to have been bloodless, thankfully stemming the tide of “what’s black and white and red all over” jokes.

The front page has long been the exclusive territory of UT Austin-related stories, occasionally commandeered by national or international news of general interest.

“Sports is not of general interest,” commented Computer Science senior William Jackson. “Now if this freshman Damion Jones of which the article speaks had two heads, that would be of general interest.”

It is not known how long this occupation will last. The presence of too many statistics and foreign words like “winningest” may produce unrest among the populace, forcing sports back to section B from whence it came.
