Ok, that's a bit of a stretch, but last night I had to purchase 62 cent colored pencils and a 42 cent posterboard. While this may not raise even the slightest twinge of an eyebrow hair on an art student, it upsets me. Mainly because I'm a Senior, and an English/Theology major. I can tell you all about the works of Flavius Josephus while ( Read more... )

I've recently learned that major retail stores are now banning the use of the word "Christmas" in their stores nationwide. I've known that major companies are frequently spearheading new acts of civil diplomacy and political correctness, but this is going a bit too far. Why can't I go to a store and buy something that says "Merry Christmas"? ( Read more... )

If you have no idea who Dave Barry is, you're a loser. He's a lot funnier than Maddox, mainly because he updates, and doesn't really need to use constant curse words to get his point across.

I originally planned to make this poem a lot longer, doing one of those comparisons between the tavern, the pub, the bar, etc. Despite what anyone says, there is a difference. I really liked how this one turned out in its shortened version. Enjoy ( Read more... )

Here's another one to chew on. Be warned, it is kind of vulgar, but don't blame me. The poem just kind of wrote itself ( Read more... )

In light of the recent release of the new Star Wars movie on DVD, I've begun my semi-annual Star Wars marathon. I never really noticed until now that the plot lines of the three prequel movies are incredibly complex and difficult to understand. While the original Star Wars plots were quite forward, (Imperials=bad, Rebels=good, Darth Vader=Luke's ( Read more... )

Last night I attended a Lincoln Stars game at the Nebraska State Fair Grounds. I must admit, I had quite a good time, a lot better time than I'd expected in fact. I love going to hockey games, but never seem to get around to going to them. The last hockey game I've been to, except for last night, was a Wild game in 2002. The minor league game ( Read more... )

For those of you who don't know me too well, I'm a huge literary nerd. I love the classics. I'm not just one of those people who reads classic literature to say that I've read it, because I actually do enjoy reading it. I typically read stuff from the 19th century because the authors seem to have really developed the narrative structure during ( Read more... )

This is only the second time I've partaken in said activity. My hangover wan't even much of a hangover anyway, just a slight headache, nothing like last week. Can anyone think of a class that is more useless than Lifetime Wellness? I know most people at this school would suggest that the GS program is more useless, but with the exception of 301 ( Read more... )
