OT: Off week activities
My action looks like this the rest of the week:
Drink the rest of the week until no brain cells left to remember the MSU game.
Turn on the Sparty vs Wisconsin game
Regain faith in humanity when Wisconsin destroys Sparty.
Chores around the house for the MgoGirlfriend

I have an interview (via webcam, strangely) today. There is a chance I could end up in Ole Miss country. Anyone else from around Oxford? Would definitely need to make some MGoFriends.
Anyway, that and meeting with recruiters has me pretty much tied up for the week, followed by a cousin's birthday and then a wedding this weekend. Should keep me busy enough.
October 19th, 2011 at 2:06 PM ^
Whoa, what a coincidence. Me and a couple other Michigan alums are headed down to Oxford for the game this Saturday. Driving in on Friday, and driving out on Sunday. Never been to an SEC game before, and want to see what the grove has to offer.
October 19th, 2011 at 2:31 PM ^
I once drove through Mississippi on I-55 and that goes fairly close to Oxford, so its a triple coincidence!
October 19th, 2011 at 2:42 PM ^
Crazy! I had a friend who went to Miami (NTM) in Oxford, Ohio and I visited him once. Quadruple coincidence?
October 19th, 2011 at 2:45 PM ^
1. beautiful college women.
2. Frat boys and Frat boy look-a-likes...complete with sunglasses (with croakies), poloshirts and red solo cups.
3. The stadium is small, but can get kinda loud. I saw Ely Maning beat up on Alabama a few years ago, they get excited.
4. Ole Miss is a beautiful campus, but thats about it.
October 19th, 2011 at 1:10 PM ^
Spent the day there...meh. Oxford...meh.
But this is probably not what you are looking for, sorry dude.
October 19th, 2011 at 1:11 PM ^
Nah, I welcome opinions. I have done some reading on it, seems kind of nice. What didn't you care for? If I get offered a position I would definitely go out there and get a feel for it before making any sort of decision.
October 19th, 2011 at 2:37 PM ^
1. Mississippi is a horrible state in general (and I am from Alabama). Its hot, ugly and nothing economically going for it really.
2. Oxford is a preppy frat boy college town, nothing more. I like more of a larger progressive city (Alabama... i know i know), Oxford is not like this.
3. The campus and parts of the city are "pretty" but thats really about it. Its a Southern City, so it is controlled by the Good Ole Boy mentailty, which specifically has deep roots in Oxford.
4. The closest city of anything resembling progression is probably Memphis, which could be a good or bad thing.
Like I said, its subjective, and it depends on what kind of person you are. But know that most good opportunities (overall) are where the most people are. Most good companies are in bigger cities, smartest people are in bigger cities - all these factors equate to the best opportunities.

Saturday was kind of a bust for both justingoblue and megangoblue, so tonight I will be buying her favorite wine, picking her up from class with yet to be determined takeout and spending the rest of the night drinking and listening to music.
Maybe going out to the country this weekend to a friends parents gigantic spread.
October 19th, 2011 at 1:16 PM ^
Erotic asphyxiation. Maybe auto. Maybe not.
October 19th, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
you have a spotter.
October 19th, 2011 at 1:40 PM ^
and a safe word....
October 19th, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
What good is a safe word if you're being asphyxiated?
October 19th, 2011 at 2:08 PM ^
Hmm...good point....maybe that was David Carradine's fatal mistake?
October 19th, 2011 at 2:46 PM ^
Too soon? Too soon?
October 19th, 2011 at 2:19 PM ^
Hwiskey.
October 20th, 2011 at 1:35 AM ^
October 19th, 2011 at 1:43 PM ^
That comment with a Mr. Rogers avatar is not okay.
October 19th, 2011 at 3:30 PM ^
I use sweaters because they feel good around my neck and I have a closet full of them.
October 19th, 2011 at 1:21 PM ^
celebrating wife day by going camping this weekend
October 19th, 2011 at 1:33 PM ^
which sadly is even worse. All in all, slightly better than last Saturday!
October 19th, 2011 at 2:05 PM ^
When someone asks you which kid is yours, tell them you haven't decided yet.
October 19th, 2011 at 1:40 PM ^
Edit: Friday going to the Oaks Christian v. Thousand Oaks game to see Jordan Payton in person. Hopefully I can provide a decent write-up with possibly some pics/videos to boot.
Well I'll probably watch the Wiscy vs. MSU game and hopefully enjoy that. Otherwise finish setting up the halloween decor outside the house.
Then Tuesday, BF3.
October 19th, 2011 at 8:06 PM ^
In Cali, instead of a creeper van do you have a creeper prius?
October 19th, 2011 at 1:36 PM ^
This year Im going to 2. Purdue- Illinois and ND-USC.
October 19th, 2011 at 1:42 PM ^
Celebrating wifeday in a very true sense by registering for baby showers (first mgobaby due in January). Not really looking foward to that part of the day, but at least the day starts with breakfast.
October 19th, 2011 at 1:50 PM ^
You so much money if you named your baby, "mgobaby"
October 19th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
Depending on the prices I see on Saturday, I might take you up on that...
October 19th, 2011 at 3:15 PM ^
How much Mr Hart,..How Much??? I successfully named my fist one Bo and maybe just maybe if the price is right I can pull this one off. Would you settle with Mgoboy or mgogirl?
October 19th, 2011 at 1:57 PM ^
sleep now. if you're a golfer, go play even if its 50 degrees outside. If you're a drinker, have a couple more nights of unfettered debauchery. You will soon find out that hangovers make dealing with a crying, colic-y, poopy baby all day long even less enjoyable.
Don't get me wrong, its fantastic and I wouldn't trade a minute of it, but there are definitely trade-offs. I haven't even picked up a golf club since July. On the other hand, I'm the 2011 "Diaper in the Dark" champion
October 19th, 2011 at 3:15 PM ^
Thanks for the advice. I'm excited, but slowly realizing how much my life is going to change.
October 20th, 2011 at 1:46 AM ^
October 19th, 2011 at 1:49 PM ^
Santa Claus, a good idea or no?
October 19th, 2011 at 1:52 PM ^
You will get way too hot. Be an elf if you wanna be Christmas-y. Its a great excuse to wear You pretty much have to wear tights, so you will stay much cooler.
October 19th, 2011 at 1:51 PM ^
Half Marathon.
October 19th, 2011 at 2:02 PM ^
Good luck!
October 19th, 2011 at 3:16 PM ^
I hope you don't get blown off the bridge.
October 19th, 2011 at 2:10 PM ^
Dress warm. Mackinac Island has to be COLD in mid-to-late October, no?
October 19th, 2011 at 3:37 PM ^
Normally runs start early in the morning to avoid the mid-day heat. The Mackinac Island run starts at noon to avoid the cold. So far the forecast looks good: sunshine and low 50s, which is great running weather.
October 19th, 2011 at 1:58 PM ^
Im cleaning the garage and then slowly die of boredom....
October 19th, 2011 at 2:07 PM ^
with my lovely wifey. She chose the bye weekend last year for our big day, and we get another one this year to celebrate our year together.
1, 2, 3! AWWWWWW!!!
October 19th, 2011 at 2:08 PM ^
Since my two fave teams (UM & Patriots) both have bye weeks, I am getting off the couch and playing Fall golf both Saturday and Sunday. Go Badgers, crush those Sparties. . . .FORE!
GO BLUE!
October 19th, 2011 at 2:09 PM ^
Have to win to make the state playoffs and win the conference title outright (weird, but that's what happens when you lose both nonconference games and the conference is full of 2-conference-loss teams)
Senior night, band's light show at half, and HATE HATE HATE
October 19th, 2011 at 2:13 PM ^
Clean up the yard and then settle in with a glass of 18 year old Glenfiddich and a good cigar to watch Wisconsin put MSU back into a numerical tie for the Legends division lead with us and Nebraska.
October 19th, 2011 at 2:16 PM ^
Well, first off I'm going to sail my 1,000-foot yacht down to my private island in the Bahamas. I'll probably do some SCUBA diving, maybe a little snorkeling. I try to limit my exposure to the sun though, it's really not good for your skin in the long term. After that, I'll probably fly my helicopter, taking off from my yacht, of course, around to see some of the sights. After I've gotten tired of seeing sparkling blue-green waters and white-sand beaches, I'll probably fly my Raytheon Premier 1 jet over to Cancun to stay at my beach house there (it's really more of a mansion than a house; and really more of a castle than a mansion). I'll drive around in my brand new (red) Ferrari 458 Italia a little bit. It's really a pretty mediocre car, if you ask me, but I suppose it gets the job done. Some yuppy will inevitably want to race me though, and I'll oblige his wishes by wooping his butt. I'll probably write him a check for $10,000 just for trying. I do my best to be charitable. After a night out on the town, in which I modestly boast to some very important people about my vast riches (after all, who doesn't like to hear about how a grossly rich man has made his fortune?), I'll probably go back to my house-mansion-castle and try to catch a few Zs. Yes, that's right. Even the most privileged of us in this world must sleep every now and then.
By that time, it will probably be Sunday and I'll have to begin my journey home. To Greenland, that is. I'll begin by flying back to my private island in the Bahamas, then sailing back to my exclusive yacht club somewhere along the New England coast. From there, I'll take my private submarine (did I mention I own a submarine? I do. You wouldn't believe how many times it's been very beneficial to own my own submarine. If you ever get a chance to buy one (and have a spare million just lying around somewhere), do it! You'll never regret it!) back here. The place I call home. Greenland.
What are the rest of you planning?
October 19th, 2011 at 2:23 PM ^
Way to outshine everyone else here.
October 19th, 2011 at 2:19 PM ^
I'm fairly certain that never in my life have I ever had so many people interested in my weekend plans. Very bizarre.
October 19th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
Louisville vs. Rutgers game at Pizza Stadium on Friday night. Will be my first Cards game since moving to the beautiful state of Kentucky. They serve beer at their stadium, so I'm really excited about it.
