friday may 9

today i was playing basketball when i decided to test an estimate i'd made a night earlier, when i guessed that i was currently about a 50% free-throw shooter. i approximated where a free-throw line might be on the outdoor net and shot 100 from there, making 52. although my hypothesis was proven nearly to the exact percentage point, i was upset by the result, having hoped that i was at least a bit more of a sure thing from the line than shaquille o'neal.
