  • HalloweenTrick or treatSmell my feetGive me something good to eat Here are pix of our Jack-o-lanterns this year. M made a likeness of Shrek and I did a self-portrait. Whaddya think? Halloween was one of my favo…

  • Update: No second half melt down... so far Final: Stanford 0 UCLA 21 Yup, that's the right score. The Bruins shut out the Stanford Cardinal--in case you're wondering, there is no "s" after Cardinal like the St. Lou…

  • The Daily Show... I hope everyone realizes that yesterday's comments were tongue in cheek. I did not mean to dis Canada. I love Canada--even though I've only been there once. It wasn't me, it was President Bush…

  • Kudos to the BoSox... I know that there were a lot of skeptical people, but after they beat the Yankers four in a row, I knew they were going to win the world series. I mean, we're talking about a feat that has…

  • Rainy Days and Mondays... A ctually, it's not raining, but it is Monday, the beginning of another week. It is now officially the 9th week of the semester, which means there are seven more weeks to go. One of th…

  • The Comic Challenge Y' know, I'm actually supposed to be pretty busy grading papers and preparing for our in-class poetry match. But I get bored so easily. So I decided to try something I've been thinking about…

  • META tag S omething is going on with my Xanga and I can't figure it out. Up until recently, I was able to have my comment page automatically display Japanese characters by using a META tag. I put the following …

  • Praying for no melt down Final: UCLA 42 ASU 48 Update--The Bruins' QB sucks. Drew Olson is just not the guy, He underthrows too often and throws behind his receiver. His stats are deceiving because all the receive…

  • Andropause vs. Midlife Crisis S ome of the comments I received the other day suggested that a few are confusing andropause--male menopause--with a midlife crisis. If only it were that simple. *sigh* As I mentio…

  • Bosox beat Yankees! T he game was too much to ignore. I couldn't watch it at home in a vacuum. M enjoys sports and will watch any game with me. But I needed to see this game with others who understood its histo…

  • Bosox win three in a row O kay, I will admit it to the world. I hate the Yankers. As a born Dodger fan, it is my birthright to hate the Yankers to no end. They are evil incarnate. I can't believe that a good gu…

  • AndropauseI'm pushing the upper limits of middle-age and I find myself a little lost. Yes, we all get a little lost from time to time--I don't want to finish my paper, I don't know what to wear on my date, I …

  • Articulation F or the past few weeks, a large number of my posts have been about the presiential candidates and the debates. I am normally pretty apolitical. But the war in Iraq has stirred my feelings of citiz…

  • Just being me... F or the past few weeks, a large number of my posts have been about the presiential candidates and the debates. I am normally pretty apolitical. But the war in Iraq has stirred my feelings of c…

  • The Best Defense is a Good Offense Final: UCLA 21 Cal 45 plays big brother today, Cal Berkeley. Cboy said that my boys in powder blue are going get whooped. While I hate to admit it, he may be right. The Bruins have…

  • Final Comments... O n the debates. I didn't major in polisci, and I'm no political analyst, in case, er, you couldn't tell. Hehehehhe... But I have my opinions and this political race between Bush and Kerry has…

  • No energy... H ello. The cold's gotten a bit better. My coughing has diminished and my body aches are virtually gone. But I'm still not 100%. I am such a loyal teacher that I didn't take off of work last week. …

  • Flip-flop-flip T he current election compels me to comment because it will directly affect me and you. We have an incumbent president who believes that it is sad but inevitable for American soldiers to die in…

  • Unbiased S orry about the rants lately. Sometimes I need to let off steam. Someone from SC again said something uncalled for and I reacted. I swear, there is no one who can rub me the wrong way more than a Troj…

  • Standing up M y UCLA Bruins win. And while the win was satisfying and decisive, it was against a battered SD State team, so cries of "We're back!" are premature. We will see what happens in two weeks when we …

  • Final: SD State 10 UCLA 33 plays the San Diego State Aztecs today. SD State seems to be improving and will perhaps be a force in the Mountain West. They actually played Michigan pretty tough a few weeks back, althou…

  • Joke Alert! Flip-flops Y esterday, I thought I would witness a train wreck of a debate. I was wrong. I saw a president who was single-minded in his message: I am resolute, Kerry sends mixed messages. He se…
