  • Misty-Eyed

    I made the mistakes of showing Grave of the Fireflies in class today. I've shown three WWII- related films--McCarthur's Children, 24 Eyes and Black Rain, so I didn't need to show another one. But I wanted to show at leas…

  • It's Good to be a Bruin

    I knowa lot of you hate sports entries, but I can't help myself. I mean, it'sgreat to be a Bruin right now. Saturday's game was ugly, I meanincredibly ugly. But we beat Memphis 50-45. Woo hoo! We are regionalchamps and a…

  • Elite Eight

    I am, first and foremost, a football fan... BUT HOW 'BOUT DEM BRUINS! They play Gonzaga, one of the best teams in the nation, and they are down by as many as 17 points in the first half. At half, it was 42-29. In the sec…

  • Stalkers

    Having watched Densha Otoko (Train Man), I've begun to wonder what I'm doing in this virtual world. For those who are relatively young--say 22 and younger--the Internet is probably something that is taken for granted. I …

  • Spring Break

    Wow... It's been a week since I've been here. I have been preoccupied with a number of different things and have neglected to update this record of my life... such as it is. In any event, I have reached a point in my lif…

  • Another Week Another Dollar

    Work work work. What a weeken. M wase much better by Saturday, which was a relief. But I had so much work, that all I've been doing is grading. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I know that I am teaching mor…
