Hail to the Victors

Friday, November 16th, 2007

In honor of tomorrow’s game:

Update: I may have been cursed by the Buckeyes. As this video was uploading I took a shower and in the shower I cut the back of my knee while shaving, which has not happened in about 4 years or so. The placement is horrible. It is near a vein, seems to be U-shaped, both of which have added to the blood loss. It really burns. We will get revenge…

Also, if you have HBO, you might want to check The Rivalry out, HBO’s first college football documentary about the rivalry between (I think you can guess it) Michigan and Ohio State. I watched it last night. It’s an hour long and it’s pretty interesting, entertaining and definitely gets you pumped for the game. The schedule for the rest of its showings is here.

Go Blue!

Second Update: I was cursed again! I uploaded the wrong video. I guess I will keep that one there and add the one I intended (the second one). More maize and blue!

p.s. The video is from last year’s Rose Bowl game.

College Nostalgia

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

The back to school fall craze and my sisters embarking on their own college experience has me thinking back to the good old days.

Ah, 118. You will always have a special place in my heart. A group of seven of us resided here Sophomore year. That’s my window to the left right above the porch roof. Yes, I did go out there sometimes.

The house where Jamie, Laura and I lived Senior year on Church Street in beautiful Ann Arbor.

The Graduate Library where I diligently worked in the Stacks shelving, organizing, call number reading/checking, wheeling my squeaky cart around, listening to music, and surreptitiously reading. I braved my allergies because I loved the job so much. I had to take a speed filing test on both the Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal system to get the job and passed with flying colors.

The incomparable NYPD. That’s New York Pizza Depot. So good. Spent a majority of my hours, especially late night ones, with friends within these walls.
