After the away win at Purdue (alma mater of brothers and sisters-in-law) Wisconsin (alma mater of self and wife) is now 7-0 on the season and 4-0 in the Big Ten. Let us all hope Michigan gets a bad case of botulism and can’t finish the season. Even though the Badgers avoid them this season they can still muck it up. Of course, all Wisconsin has to do is finish the season undefeated and they don’t need to worry about it. Small matter of beating Northwestern (which the Badgers usually make a mess of), Minnesota (another team that seems to have UW’s number) and then Iowa and Michigan State on the road. Piece of cake, right?

The Pack finally had a good game over Detroit. Ahman Green throwing a touchdown pass to put the Pack up 28 points in the 4th makes me giggle. It almost makes me forget about the rest of the season.

Finished “Jomsviking Saga” two nights ago. A lot of it was slow until the founding of the Jomsviking community, which was a group of vikings that were kind of a cross between “Fight Club” and militias living in the hills of Idaho. The warrior clan were the most fearsome fighters of their day. The final battle scene goes on for quite some time and there are some good gory parts but not one of my favorite or highly recommended ones.

“The Wendigo Killers” is going slowly. Written four pages so far and I’m not sure the narrative structure will hold the weight of the story. Currently it’s in the first person with the story being told to the narrator but I’m not sure this is going to work. The person telling the story must be unsympathetic for the overall story to work yet I don’t want it to become a story told by an unlikeable narrator. We’ll see. Blogging is keeping me from it.
