The Decider!

Friday, April 28th, 2006

The Decider is what Bush has termed himself. And he has seemed excited about coming up with the term, repeatedly describing his job as one where he “makes decisions.” You know the point in time when a child first understands an idiom in it’s figurative meaning rather than literal meaning? I think […]

The Bible is Fascinating!

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

I look forward to reading my bible everyday. I really do! It is a fascinating text. Not only are the stories and logic very interesting, but what I really look forward to is trying to understand how, out of all the words of Jesus came a powerful religion. There are some […]

It’s Already Tuesday!

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Wow, how did it get to be Tuesday already? Actually, it’s kind of good, because I was so busy yesterday, I was worrying that I was running out of time and that today was somehow going to be Wednesday. Yes, whatever, anyway, I been busy!
So school first. I’ve got an exam today […]

Post Party

Sunday, April 23rd, 2006

Alright, so it wasn’t the party of the century. First off, being only pre-bar, how much could we have expected? But when not a lot of people come, I think it’s a sign that your true friends do show up. And I can honestly say that the people who came to our […]

Party Prep

Saturday, April 22nd, 2006

In our decision to have people over to our apartment tonight prior to heading out to bars and such, we were all very excited. Oh the joys of having something to invite people to. It’s a thrill to say to someone, hey you should come over to our place tonight. And it’s […]

I Bought A Bible!

Friday, April 21st, 2006

Why didn’t I own one before? It’s an extremely important piece of literature. I mean, okay, I owned bibles, like one for Sunday School way back a million years ago. And I have a King James bible somewhere (but that’s a bad translation). It’s not like I am wholly unfamiliar with […]

Goodbye Scott McClellan

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

He’s gone, the evil, public face of the Bush administration, their mouthpiece mule, the spokesman slave, their chubby tele-bunny. He’s out like a light bulb, caved under the pressure of the responsibility and the shakeups due to Bush’s new Chief of Staff Bolten.
What does this mean for America? Well, McClellan won’t […]

What If…?

Monday, April 17th, 2006

I fully expect to end up on the street after I graduate, homeless and hopeless. But then I had an interview today with Epic Systems, a Madison-based company that makes healthcare software. I think the interview went really well. The only thing I worry about is that I got the person’s name […]

And Madness Ensued…

Sunday, April 16th, 2006

Oh gosh golly. So I was a jerk, right, and complained about someone in my last post. Well, this person (for some reason unknown to me, more on this later) wrote a hardhitting and completely true post about me, basically questioning my writing and so on. (As I write this, it seems […]

A Weekend in Wrapup

Sunday, April 16th, 2006

Before writing about my weekend camping and other important things, I have one thing to say. This goes out to someone in particular, but applies to everyone. To anyone who thinks the contrary: you are NOT a big deal; no one on earth is a big deal; so stop pretending. And […]

Hair Cut

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

So I got my hair cut Monday, I don’t know if I mentioned that in my previous post or not. Here’s a picture.

So I went to a haircut place I had never been to before - Hair Forum on University Ave., just a block from my apartment. They have an appealing lobby, with […]

Just When You Think All Hope Is Lost

Monday, April 10th, 2006

Alright, I’ll admit it. I’d been feeling a little down lately about the general state of Michael-Trying-to-Find-a-Job. Cisco Systems had said that they would call me last week to let me know about the position I interviewed for a million years ago. But they hadn’t called. Epic Systems (common name, it […]

Well, I’m Stuffed

Saturday, April 8th, 2006

This evening, I left my apartment to meet Tony and Platteville crew on State Street for a delicious meal at Ginza’s of Tokyo. We sat down and stuffed ourselves silly, to the tune of $35 per person. What with apetizer, sushi, and an entree, I barely came out of the restaurant alive. […]

A Tiring Week

Friday, April 7th, 2006

Oh my goodness, with only 12 credits, I seldom think of my week as having enough activity to really tire me out. After all, I don’t have classes on Monday or Friday, giving me a four day weekend to take care of any important activities that I might need to get done - papers, […]

Summer Job!

Tuesday, April 4th, 2006

Ha ha! I have a summer job! Can you even believe it? Sure, I don’t have a real job. Sure, I barely have any leads at all. But hey, I will be able to afford to live in my apartment for the summer. And who knows what tomorrow will […]
