after nearly five days' worth of 'feeling dumb,' i can conclude that the iq test link posted on wednesday night is simply an unreliable source. how can i convince you that this is fact, and not just sour grapes?

an email received this afternoon, subject line 'IQ,' from sister annie:

"Suck this, Andrew!!

Congratulations, Annie!
Your IQ score is 136"

and yes, the source is unreliable.

now that that mess is taken care of...

saturday was a busy day, in a manner of speaking. went to the iowa-minnesota game (contested for floyd of rosedale, as flax can tell you). the game was particularly disinteresting (although it was funny to watch minnesota roll up 550 yards of offense and double the hawkeyes in first downs in a 40-22 loss), but the company (soon-to-be-departed co-worker josh, co-worker keith and co-worker-girlfriend christina) was very good. i was resplendent in wildcat purple, but received no catcalls for my choice of garb.

the cats were, of course, quite ugly. the score was 7-3 michigan when i arrived in the car, and 31-3 within the next 15 minutes.

i hope ohio state plays well enough to keep it close this weekend. there's no way they'll beat michigan, who's probably the second-best team in the country right now. i'm just hoping that the bucks play well enough to avoid a 12-place drop in the rankings and a departure from the BCS top 12. i'm hoping that, before osu-michigan, the cats get to .500 on the season.

friday was a blast, as i painted at the house of co-worker geoff, and also got to play with samantha, who celebrated her one-month birthday today. geoff cooked dinner, which was super.

that's all i've got to report.
