Media-Savvy USC Football Player

Don't know who out there already knows this, but our very own Matt Leinart has his own blog.

I hadn't thought about it before, but it seems like the blog is an excellent forum for sports stars, and possibly other celebrities as well. On their blog, they can truly control their own press, since the blog is still seen as much more of a journal(and therefore honest) than a news source.

In any case, Matt Leinart's blog is absolutley adoooooorable. A must-read.

Come Play With Me

I keep forgetting to ask around - who likes to go to the arcade? I like going over to the Santa Monica Pier, but I don't know of any better arcades(although it depends on what you're going for, I guess - I like the fact that the pier also always has lots of people in it).

Now that the end of my semester is within sight, I'll be going once again to brush up on my table hockey and Time Crisis. It's always better with a friend (or two) so if you want to come out drop me an email! ksantiag at usc.

**************************
See, see my playmate
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree.
Slide down my rainbow
Into my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forever more, more, more.

An Anecdote

At work last night, meeting a new employee at the Avid Lab:

New Person: "What program are you in?"
Me: "The Interactive Media department, you know, upstairs."
New Person: "Oh yeah. That's the program where no one knows what you're doing."
Me: "Yes, it is. It's fantastic."
