In my entry on April 7th, 2006 I mentioned the Wisconsin Union Facilities Improvement Plan (WUFIP) and my opposition to it and how it failed in the elections that spring. Well, guess what? They're back! Only this time, it's been rebranded as the Student Union Initiative and it's up for vote tomorrow. What is it? Basically, the Wisconsin Union ( Read more... )

Yeah, so this weekend may have been the greatest weekend yet. So on Friday, we went to the hockey game where we lost to North Dakota and Jack Skille and Ross Carlson got injured, so that was a huge downer. However, it was pretty cool to see the 2006 National Championship banner unveiled with fireworks and everything and it was great to be in the ( Read more... )

Well, I figure since I'm waiting for my red shirts to dry in the dryer downstairs (I need at least one for the game later today) I'll post to journal (it's an accounting term...Emily would know). So since I last updated my group got our hockey tickets. Section 215, Row G, Seats 9, 10, and 11. It's pretty good considering we only waited 24 hours ( Read more... )

Yes, it's 4:50 in the morning and do you know where I am? No, I'm not in my room and I'm not even in my dorm. Right now, I am sitting on the lawn in front of the Kohl Center camping out until 8 AM when hockey tickets go on sale. Call me crazy but we gotta get good seats, so that's why we are here. In fact, I have been awake since 8:00 AM ( Read more... )

It may have been raining for the past 3 days, I may have gotten soaked walking 8 blocks, and I may be really sore because I lifted weights for the first time since the end of last school year. However, there is one thing that erases the overall bad times: free burritos. Yes, that's right, FREE BURRITOS! But, these were not just any burritos. No ( Read more... )

IT'S GAMEDAY FOLKS!

No, not today, but September 6th, 2006. Yes, on that day I caught the bus back to Milwaukee and went directly to the Marcus Ampitheater to see probably the greatest supergroup ever: Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Honestly, it had to be one of the best concerts ever. I'd rank it up there with Buddy Guy at Summerfest 2004 and Bob Dylan at The ( Read more... )

So, Facebook is outta control. Seriously. The news feed is ridiculous. I don't want to know every freaking thing about every single one of my friends and what they are doing at this very instant and what they have done. I mean come on. It seems like Facebook is kinda like Hitler. Give it enough power and it will unleash a devastating amount ( Read more... )

So I've been in Madison for two days and it already looks to be a good time. I already am infamous for my loud guitar playing (I've got a Big Muff Pi so I have the right to do so) and Hideki Matsui has made his grand return. Moreover, in two days I have become addicted to Guitar Hero. Heck, I was at the Party House playing it until 1:00 AM ( Read more... )

So I'm here in Beef's room in Straz Tower and Sean and I decided to go to Dunkin' Donuts and get 18 donuts for 7 bucks. So we got our 18 and the lady gave us another box with our box. So we get back to Beef's room and we open both boxes and it turns out we got a dozen donuts in addition to our 18. In summary, we got THIRTY DONUTS. Yes, that's ( Read more... )
