Time to head home and do the son/brother thing. I'm gonna miss Duluth, but I'll be back up here soon enough, and there will be 20 feet of snow on the ground and I will be cursing the day I... Keep reading this entry »
9:00 - 12:00 Philosophy final 1:00 - 3:00 Snowboarding 4:00 - 6:00 Journalism final Finals week came and went, and I've been so busy having fun I hardly realized it. Where were the sleepless nights, the last minute crammings, the... Keep reading this entry »
They say that with a Palm Pilot, you can learn to write on it as fast as you can write by hand. I think they greatly underestimate the speed of my handwriting. This year I have been working to make... Keep reading this entry »
Something Awful.com remixes history. I had no idea Hitler visited Disney World. No real entry tonight. Please enjoy my Occupations of Desire instead.... Keep reading this entry »
I reserve the term snowboard for those that can actually do it. I went falling at Spirit Mountain today. Supposedly some Woochers went earlier in the day, but I never saw anyone and ended up falling alone for three hours.... Keep reading this entry »
I am a man of industry. Tonight I have made a no-bake Oreo dessert, Magikal Jell-O (now with 23% more voodoo!), eggrolls and green tea. The dessert was whipped up by hand, but my manly muscles made short work of... Keep reading this entry »
Three articles in the Statesman, and besides some serious clipping that happened to the Du Nord article I was quite pleased. Charlie the Yoga Janitor went over very well. My Chancellor story was three times longer than I remember writing,... Keep reading this entry »
It takes two to sacrifice Three if you count the deity Four with the french whore Ok, it's time again to reconcile existential quandries. In English, another rant about school is on the way. Luckily this one isn't taking place... Keep reading this entry »
Tonight's dinner consisted of a honey bear and peanut butter eaten straight out of the jar. It was the tastiest and most efficient meal I've ever eaten. When you think of college you think of a kid slumped in a... Keep reading this entry »
Du Nord was awesome. There is no reason people need TV, rodeo and cigarettes to keep themselves entertained. All you need to do is turn 40 people loose in a small space and watch them entertain each other. Wrestling, gaming,... Keep reading this entry »
Response has generally been in favor of the Porcupine article from this week's Statesman. Those of you faithful to Cromlech will note a sense of deja vu in reading it. It's my first move to an efficient and rewarding lifestyle.... Keep reading this entry »
I'm sick of the Internet, and that means it's just about time for the semester to be over; for me to go home to my tear-jerkingly slow dialup connection. High speed Internet is nice, but it's too easy to just... Keep reading this entry »
Made a pretty good fool of myself today at the Chancellor's news conference. Near the end of the session she casually asked us for any advice on improving student life at UMD. Everyone was silent, so I finally raised the... Keep reading this entry »
Today I discovered that 1000 mg vitamin C tablets require immediate action. You do not put it one your mouth and find a glass of water to swallow when convenient, because the moment the thing goes in your mouth its... Keep reading this entry »
Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash! Finally, the day of reckoning is upon. I was talking to Rockstar today about my writing major. I told him I was thinking of shuffling around my classes a bit, try to get some... Keep reading this entry »
My Hume essay is getting written, fueled by a box of Wheat Thins. And Dorthy's Isle of Pines Root Beer. And Shostakovich. Bob Dylan. Stravinsky. Tower of Power. Tchiakovsky. Michael Brecker. Oops, Michael Brecker is making really bad noises in... Keep reading this entry »
December just snuck up and kicked me in the back of the head. Yesterday some of us Wooch!ers went sledding out at Lester in the posted NO SLEDDING zone. Prior to headin' out I bought a Black Ho (a specific... Keep reading this entry »
