Back To Life, Back To Reality

8/31/2004 – 10:13 pm

Started the new job yesterday and it looks pretty good. There are lots of detailed instructions on what to do and it’s more keeping on top of a bunch of minor details than anything really major, although there are a number of things I want to do with the department website and some internal network [...]

Bob & Willie

8/29/2004 – 4:04 pm

Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson in Madison Friday night. Here’s Bob’s set list and a link to the article in the Capitol Times: Drifter’s Escape The Times They Are A-Changin’ Seeing The Real You At Last Heartland (with Willie Nelson) It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding) If Dogs Run Free High Water (For Charley Patton) [...]

Crushed Beneath My Own Weight?

8/27/2004 – 12:36 am

I realized today that I have written twenty-five short stories in the past twelve months. Twenty-five. What’s more, I think all but a handful at least have a decent chance at publication. Looking back, I’ve only sent out ten of them and, of those, I now believe only four truly have a market. They’re my [...]

Great Night for Footie

8/25/2004 – 11:48 pm

Excepting anything that the Ars* may have accomplished tonight, there was plenty to be happy about. Tottenham continued their unbeaten streak, drawing with WBA away from home. That gives Spurs five points out of nine, four points coming on the road. Jermaine Defoe seems to be the genuine article and Keane got some minutes tonight. [...]

Tottenham Use Comedy to Keep Fans Laughing

8/25/2004 – 11:00 am

Real laugh off Figo Spurs link Along with the rest of us. Other good ones from earlier this season. Hargreaves to be sold to Spurs? Yeah, why wouldn’t he want to come? With a strong push, Spurs might have a shot at the UEFA Cup, especially with the likes of Figo and Davids anchoring the [...]

Spurs Good, Fire Bad

8/22/2004 – 8:15 pm

A weekend of joy and sadness. Spurs robbed Newcastle by snatching a 1-0 victory at St. James. From the match reports it sounds like Tottenham were played off the park in the first half and should have been down three goals at the interval. It seems that Robinson played his mind out between the sticks–Kasey [...]

Oh, Woeful U.S.!

8/18/2004 – 9:51 pm

Lord, did the United States look like dog dirt against Jamaica. I felt like I should have been paid to watch the first thirty minutes, they played so poorly. Here’s a player-by-player slag: US Lineup Versus Jamaica Keller-Can’t blame him for the goal. Came off a virtually unmarked player at a weird angle and crept [...]

Oh, Woeful Spurs!

8/18/2004 – 12:07 pm

Good God. So let me get this straight. Tottenham was allegedly supposed to have the inside track on signing Edgar Davids post-Euro 2004 which, as we all know, was laughably inconceivable. Spurs have managed to repel both Danny Murphy and now Owen Hargreaves for a combination of reasons. Spurs are notoriously tight with the purse [...]

The Icy Grip of the Real World

8/17/2004 – 11:55 am

It’s official–I just accepted a position with the University of Wisconsin Medical School as administrator in the Department of Neurology for a fifteen month project position. The job itself sounds pretty easy as I’m responsible for coordinating med students during their six-week rotation through five departments in the medical school. Basically, it’s my job to [...]

Tales From the North

8/12/2004 – 11:36 am

I’m about to finish a book called “Killing the Shamen” about how two native medicine men were arrested in northern Manitoba at the turn of the century for executing a woman who was “turning windigo,” a state in which a starving person loses his mind and turns to canibalism. The windigo is a spirit creature [...]
