Recent discoveries

*Seattle University's mascot is the Redhawk and their colors are red and black. Finally a color scheme I can get behind and one that doesn't involve that garish shade of yellow schools try to pass off as 'gold.' Since middle school my school colors have been blue/gold, blue/gold, black/gold, blue/gold, and green/gold (there are two high schools in there). Compared to those combinations, red/black seems positively chic.

*Looking through the Wikipedia entry for SU, I discovered that the only two notable graduates I recognized were Duff McKagan (ex-bassist for Guns n' Roses and current basist for Velvet Revolver) and Mary Kay Fualaau (formerly Mary Kay Letourneau, famous for having a sexual relationship with a 13-year old student of hers, becoming pregnant by him, going to prison, becoming pregnant by him again, and then marrying him upon her release). Awesome.

*Mario Kart for the Nintendo Wii is far superior to any other racing video game I've ever played and I must have it someday. However, the only way I have even the slightest chance of not coming in 12th is to get the bullet from those mystery boxes so I can blast past the competition. I came in first the first time I played and that can be solely attributed to the bullet. The other few times I played I think I held a steady spot at number 11.

*Lord of the Rings is freaking long.

That just means that you're going to be the notorious alum that people see and say, 'Wow! Diana Miller went to SU!'

P.S.-- I'll be a glorified turtle during law school. How dorky!
