Red Lobster and the Crimson Tide

I had the idea to take my brother out for his birthday instead of buying him something: mainly because I simply can't think of ANYTHING he might want. He seems to have everything he wants or needs. I didn't want to get him a gift card this year so I thought, dinner and a movie, and invite our sister along so she could pay half.
well... he chose Red Lobster as his eatery. I sighed and smiled and pretended that was ok.
My sister was watching the Alabama /Florida game when I called her to see if she was on her way. It turns out that it was a big game night and no one really wanted to leave their tv sets. I had had no idea.
When we got to Red Lobster all the TVs were set to the game and all eyes (except for mine) were glued to the sets. It was a big deal, deciding where to sit so they could get optimal viewing positions. And of course the entire restaurant was cheering and awwwing and generally going off about the game. I tried to talk about the choices I had made recently (decided to go for my bachelor's degree) but my talk fell on deaf ears.
When we left Red Lobster we went out to the parking lot and I saw that my brother had driven the red car. I said "Hey! That's MY car!" and he offered to drive me to the movie in it. It was exciting to see it out on the road. He says he needs to maybe replace the rear end, fix the driver's side mirror, and the passenger seat won't click into place and flops around when you stop from a higher speed.
This morning I turned in my 'Orientation to College' portfolio... I really don't know why they make us bother because the teacher didn't even look at my work. I could have written anything in there. I could have written the same sentence over and over and wish that I had done that.
Then I turned in my English portfolio and I feel pretty good about that. I'm pretty sure that since I rewrote all of my papers , and they all had 90's or higher... that class is in the bag.
In a few minutes I leave for math class. I think we take the final next week. I'm stuck on finding the volume of solids...anything I have to multiply pi by a fraction, I can't find the volume... I get within 1 or 2 but that is not close enough.
Anyhow, here's hoping I can get past that tonight. I hope she doesn't make us take the final tonight since she said it was next week. Many of the teachers are confused on dates.
Saturday my boss gave me a brisket to cook, I cooked it and and it was freakin' amazing. I brought it home and have been eating off it since Saturday night. I went into Star Market this afternoon to get some veggies to eat with it and as I was perusing the canned veggies, I turned and saw a dog in a shopping cart. I thought that was pretty awesome.
