Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

I'm coming up for the game this weekend. My sister mentioned that she might park at Maple/Willow/Larch. Is that open for parking during games? I always thought it was patrolled and ticketed really heavily during games.

Depending on how early you get there I believe they now check parking passes coming and going from there. My parents have season tickets and always park at Forker/that parking ramp because it is free. This is becoming a not so secret tailgating spot now though.
 
We finally got around to watching the last couple of episodes os The Making of a Murderer this weekend. I couldn't figure out why Steven Avery was convicted of murder so I Googled "Why was Steven Avery found guilty". Now I'm po'd at the filmmakers for leaving out so much of that evidence.

Maybe I'm more disappointed that I can no longer see Wisconsin just as a state full of drunken, corrupt officials and drunken serial killers. I can now only see it as a state full of drunken serial killers and drunken, marginally incompetent officials.

This was going to be my suggestion, although like wx said it may be a pretty popular place. I know there are signs up at Hy Vee that say no game day parking. The ghost lot at Kmart maybe? (Every time I go to staples or the movie theater, I have to convince myself those businesses are still open). I would think MWL would be ticketed, but maybe they aren't concerned with that.

Plenty of people park at Hy Vee on game day. I think the KMart lot is popular as well
 
Super sad I didn't get to see KC's mass confusion happen live.

So with the scare of getting pink eye I ditched the contacts today and wore my glasses. I very rarely wear them outside of the house and this is only the second time I have worn them to work. Everyone says they make me look smart which is obviously a compliment that is appreciated. On the other hand how do I look normally? Also is this like a cute schoolgirl kind of good look or not?

Pretty much every person I've dated in my life, people say "how'd you pull that off? She must be blind." Which is meant as a compliment, but is totally an insult.

In a completely unrelated note, every person I've ever dated has worn glasses or contacts.

I like the ICE T/ lemonade commercial.
Point and laugh at Woo time: I didn't realize that was ICE T. I know who he is, but I didn't realize that was him. So I was watching tv with friends and that ad came on and I said something like, "Whenever I see this ad, all I can think is 'those kids should stop selling lemonade. If everyone wants Ice Tea then respond to the market and make Ice Tea'". My friend then explained in a pained voice that was the joke, the people were talking about Ice T the rapper. Not one of my prouder moments

When someone says they make you look smart, you should immediately backhand them and say "I'm a PILOT, of course I'm smart!"

Sounds like you might have an eyeglasses fetish thing going there. Just sayin'.

You just made a lot of older white guys on this site happy about being more "in-the-know" about a rapper. We knew it was bound to happen some day.
