Three Questions From My Weekend
- After reading the Washington Post story today about the 23 Virginia Tech students hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning, I'm beginning to wonder. Every university has its share of stupid and tragic. My alma mater—Penn State—had a school shooting, an incident where a student was killed by a falling tree branch, and a massive riot one summer. And we all know about the University of Maryland's troubles. But, shit, Virginia Tech just can't get a break. Is the campus cursed?
- If you cat-sit, you are supposed to change the feline's water and replenish its food bowl. A good sport will keep the litter box clean. I've done all those things for Blakey. But then the cat—which is huge, almost panther-huge—seems to want some sort of attention. So I sit on the couch and pat at the cat's ears and head for a while. But petting a cat is kind of boring. So how long do you have to play with your friend's cat as part of your cat-sitting duties? And do you even have to bother?
- During halftime of the Redskins second exhibition game, Joe Theismann was featured "interviewing" a pre-injured Jason Campbell. The interview was stultifying in the usual Theismann way. The former Skins quarterback talked more than enough about himself. He also came to the interview dressed in gym shorts. And let's just say the way the interview was shot, I kept thinking we were going to end up seeing Theismann's balls. Thankfully, the viewers were spared such sights. Instead, we got a good look at his fucked-up leg. So my question: Why are TV producers still putting Theismann on the air?

In response to item 2: You don't have to bother playing with the cat unless its owners specifically ask you to do so.

i'm cat-sitting currently for a week. i've petted the cats for a minute one day, and helped them chase stuffed animals around the house for 45 minutes once. just depends on how much attention the cat wants.
