The Super Bowl, Architecture, and a Random Reminder

In order of appearance, I'll start with the Super Bowl. I don't suppose there's any way it can end in a tie is there? No, I'd guessed not. Being a Philadelphia Eagles fan, it'd be really hard for me to actually root for the Giants, much in the way it's kind of ridiculous for me to watch Cornell hockey, being an RPI alum. That being said, I do not like the Patriots, particularly this season. Tom Brady chief among them. Super Bowl XLII does not feature the Patriots and the Giants for me. No, it is a game between a rock and a hard place. But I think that if the Patriots won the game, we'd never hear the end of it. Particularly from ESPN. Chuck Klosterman wrote a very good article as to why the Patriots should lose on ESPN.com. Something about them being humanized, perfectly imperfect and the such. So when it comes down to it, I think, as much as it pains me to say it, I'm going to have to root for the Giants. Because really, no matter what happens, when they come to Philly, they'll still be a bunch of losers and the fans, quite possibly the greatest in the country, or possibly the world, although I have little to no exposure to hooliganism, will probably try to make Eli Manning cry. That and I hope that Strahan or whoever else plays for the Giants defense rolls up on Tom Brady a la Kimo von Oelhoffen and blows out his perfect knees.

A random thought I had regarding building planning. Basically the thought was that if I ever designed a building, which is unlikely enough, for either something corporate or for a university, there would be no definite room numbers. I'm not sure whether this would be some sort of dynamically changing room assignment, vague room numbers, or just large general open areas, but I would like to be able to say: "Why don't you meet me in my office, it's number 140ish.

The other things are just random reminders for myself for things that I am likely to forget at some point. The first is actually a sandwich: seeded rye, turkey, bacon, coleslaw, muenster cheese, toasted. Simple enough. The other is similar, but is actually a salad: lettuce (duh), tomato, cucumber, chicken, bacon, hard boiled egg, red onion, blue cheese, and some form of vinagrette. That's it.
