Terra Incognita

14 days
If you know me well, you'll know what I'm counting down to.

battle of the templates
Clark has a new look to his blog. And it's a little too familiar. I liked my template because no one else had it. Now I have a deep desire to change it...but nothing out there suits me like this one. I guess we'll just have to duel it out over this one. Speaking of Clark, though, he had a great entry the other day and since it made me laugh, I thought I'd copy it for you. Enjoy:

Have you ever played Mizzouopoly? Don't. It's Monopoly, but you buy Mizzou/Columbia related properties, like the Ninth Street or the Heidelberg instead of Short Line Railroad or Virginia. It messes you up, because instead of buying properties for their worth, you might find yourself buying crap for it's sentimental value. I couldn't bring myself to get a monopoly, because I wouldn't buy Middlebush because I had that horrible Sociology class.
