Hey all. For my homework this week, I had to do an open blog about anything that I wanted. But, there isn’t really anything new in the life of Kurt. I am actually at work right now (working very hard obviously). We are pretty slow, so I thought I would get some homework done. I am typing this blog on half of my computer screen and watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 movie on the other half. And let me tell you, no matter how many times I watch this movie it never gets old.
I am kind of getting worried about this weekend. We are supposed to get 10 inches of snow/rain mix. That, on top of our foot and a half of snow, will probably make for really crappy driving and walking conditions. I am watching my Uncles house and dog this week and it is about a half an hour drive from my apartment. Hopefully, if it precipitates a lot in the next couple of days, class will be cancelled.
Well, I don’t know if any of you have been paying attention, but it seems like our Wisconsin teams have seemed to let their season slip at the end, yet again. Mens’ basketball has just lost two in a row, granted one being to the #1-2 team in the country. Hold on, I have to wait on some people…………... okay, I am back. So anyways, the team was 26-2 before the two consecutive losses, so I didn’t think we were going to get a #1 seed. But last night, Tennessee bailed us out and beat Florida who was ranked #4. So we should be #4 if we beat Michigan State this weekend, hopefully, giving us a #1 seed in the tournament. The other Wisconsin team that has slipped is the Mens’ Hockey team. They have had a very mediocre season, being riddled with injuries, losing to teams that they should beat and beating teams they should lose to. But they had a chance to get home ice for the playoffs. But then we end up getting swept by a team that isn’t very good, knocking our team back to 8th place in the WCHA. Mens’ hockey still has one more weekend but I am guessing that we won’t get home ice for playoffs, meaning that I won’t get to go to any more games this year.
Well for some reason my TMNT movie is screwing up in my computer. So know I have to watch Grandma’s Boy instead. Not too bad of a trade off because it is hilarious.
It is just starting to snow outside. It probably won’t be very busy for the rest of the night. I guess I shouldn’t say that, though. It seems like we are pretty busy when it is really cold or snowing a lot. It doesn’t really make sense to me because we are selling cold products. Oh, well.
Well I guess that is all for now. Be back in a couple of days.

I found your blog post quite humorous since you were at work. Where is it that you work that you get to watch movies and go on the internet, and get paid for it? I want that job! Anyhow, I just thought I'd put in my opinion about our basketball team. I think Michigan State is a must-win, but I think we need to win the Big-Ten tournament to get a #1 seed still. Maybe if we lose in the title game and OSU loses earlier than us, we could still sneak in as a #1. But the bright side is we're a #2 almost for sure and I don't think we've ever been that high!
I was just talking to my brother about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's movies. When we were younger he used to force me to watch those movies... and then I started to like them. Aren't they coming out with a new one?
In commenting on Liz' comment, yes, they are coming out with a new TMNT movie on March 23rd. Actually if you scroll down I put the trailer on my blog site. And Sam, I am pretty sure that the conference tournament don't count towards the national tournament. If I am correct the only way that we won't get a number one seed is if the team gets screwed because this week #2 UCLA and #4 Florida both lost. I wouldn't be surprised if Ohio State is #1, Kansas #2 and Wisconsin #3 on Tuesday. I guess we can only wait and find out.
Oh yeah, I work at the Chocolate Shoppe on State Street. It is the ice cream store with the Big Cow as the logo. So I won't be able to do homework and watch movies in the summer, when it is extremely busy.
Well I have to comment on one of my previous comments because I found out that I was wrong and that how we do in the Big Ten tournament can affect what seed the team will get in the National Championship tournament.
