Gators win right to face Buckeyes in BCS title game

Fuckin' A!

Read the title like that famous Marlon Brando line "I coulda been a contenda" from On The Waterfront.

I am completely obsessed with film and film theory right now.  I seriously can't watch anything decent without geeking hard over it.  Seriously, I want to do an in depth analysis of social commentary implied by The Incredibles for heaven's sake, ( Read more... )

Of Keats’ Ode to a Nightingale I can only say: wow. I mean, the poem was built up about as much as a poem can be in that preface by the authors, as “it and the ‘Grecian Urn’ have been discussed as fully as any two lyrics in the English language.” That tidbit, plus the constantly repeating suggestion that Keats ranks with Milton and my own ( Read more... )

Yea, today is kind of an off day. I slept through my first class, decided to keep sleeping through my second and third, then got up to make some food. On went the Stove, in went my pizza. Then, CRAP, there's a pot in there. Oh well, I can fish it out right? Apparently not ( Read more... )

Just when I thought I couldn't be any more excited about this film (The Fountain), Jesse's damn Wired magazine shows up with an article about Aronofsky and his new film.   It was like, the man read my mind…umm, before I thought the things he read...and turned it into a movie.

Ok, some explanation.  I first saw the preview for the upcoming ( Read more... )

What to do, what to do?  This is definitely a Monday.

Woke up late (but made it to class on time, halleluiah).  Then I got to feel dumb in one, then two, and finally three physics major classes.  I decided to end the day with a nap and start anew with work; both the kind I get paid for and the kind I make the state pay for.  Of course, this ( Read more... )

I went to Orlando this weekend for the traditional Pioneer Days that Pine Castle (my little home community) has every year and to hang with David, the coolest person ever.  We did a lot of stuff, but none of it really matters.  What matters is that Orlando has 7-11's, and 7-11's have Slurpees.  The only thing wrong in the world of Gainesville is ( Read more... )

Today, whilst reposing in the check out line of the immaculate Racquet Club, I was overcome by an odd affliction.  My frame of six feet and half was suddenly quite small.  “Curious,” I thought, “I wasn’t small this morning. What could possibly have caused this most humbling of ailments?”

To my left I peered and saw: The mighty Taurean Green of ( Read more... )

Sometimes I start thinking, and the oddest thing happens: I can't stop. I mean, it's odd for a guy who wants (secretly, so shhhhh don't tell) to be a theoretical physicist to be so much better at English and philosophy than at math, but I can’t help it.  Nights like this all I want to do is debate and philosophize and moralize; it’s easier than ( Read more... )
