go away, college alumni directory

April 29th, 2003 at 9:12 pm » Comments (0)

Please stop stalking me, college alumni directory!
First of all, how did you find my e-mail address when I did not give it to you? Why do you send me massive megabytes of html e-mail asking me to update my listing, when I would prefer to remain unlisted?
Why would I want to be in an alumni […]



the agony

I missed a new episode of Alias tonight to see the Blazers stomp on the Mavs. I managed to catch a couple seconds where Dixon let a fake bomb go off, terrorizing David Carradine (?), but that was it.
Why did you have 0 points, 4 turnovers, and only 3 assists, Steve Nash? Why on earth […]



Fulfilling the promise of globalization

From the Dan Patrick interview with Dirk:
DP: Did you enjoy being Time’s Person of the Week in May 2002?
DN: I didn’t know I was.
DP: Yeah, for fulfilling the promise of globalization.
DN: I don’t know what that means, but it’s awesome.



movies

I went on a bit of a Jason Statham kick this weekend, watching The Transporter and The One. The One was not that great. I would rather just watch Jet Li punch people instead of seeing him pick up a couple of CGI motorcycles and wack someone on the head.
I also saw the Cowboy Bebop […]



Playoffs

Why I love the NBA playoffs:
Yesterday Dirk Nowitzki beat his assistant coach Rolando Blackman’s previous franchise high record for most points in a playoff game with 46 points! And 10 rebounds! And I can see the Mavs play again on Wednesday. I have to store up all the NBA goodness to get me through the […]



bad poetry

It is finally spring, and my thoughts turn to horrible poetry.
The Flint Public Library used to run an annual contest in honor of Julia A. Moore, the “Sweet Singer of Michigan”
More bad poetry from Western Michigan University, is Michigan the center of the bad poetry universe?
Bad seamonkey poetry and spam poetry!

fire breather in living room

Alan Moore on his performance art cds, and what people miss if they are just hearing the words and music, “Yes, it probably would have been more powerful if they had a fire-breather in their living room with them. That probably would have gotten them to sit up and pay attention. But they can probably […]



fiction blogs

Am trying to collect links for fictional blogs, it seems like there have been a few, but not as much as one would think.
Blogs by historical people:
Caesar
Pepys
Pop culture:
The Hulk
Buffy’s the First Evil
The first evil seems to have spawned a frightening amount of buffy fan fiction blogs, such as Spike, Spike’s coat, Giles, Robin Wood, and […]



basketball and maggots

Somehow I slept through the Mavs game on Sunday. They beat the Timberwolves, and Dirk had 33 points.
Here is a lovely quote, “It’s tough to figure out how a team can lose track of a 7-footer who can score from anywhere on the court, but the Timberwolves always have trouble keeping a man on Nowitzki. […]
