Man, I’m really lovin’ the random stuff lately. Soon enough, there will be baseball about which to write, but until then I’m going to roll with random tidbits. See, I have this secret fascination with things like fashion, interior design, and celebrity gossip. I also have been watching TV lately, so expect some of that …

This news story is near and dear to my heart, as I go by the screen name ‘Chewbacca‘ on a number of forums. I extend my apologies to any tourists I may or may not have headbutted. In other news, the Super Bowl was kind of lame. I was hoping for…oh, I don’t know… a …

GRRRRRRRR :(
The refs literally *GAVE* the game to Texas tonight. With .4 seconds left in the first half, Texas got the ball under their own hoop after a foul. One player whipped the ball inbounds to his teammate, who grabbed it, set his feet, then went up for the shot and made it. There is no …

Shoulders, mountains, crosses
You may have noticed a stunning lack of updates lately, for which I apologize. What happened was, I hurt my shoulder back in October, but wasn’t able to have it operated on until last Wednesday. Since that time, typing has been a slow and tedious process so I haven’t bothered to do it. Last week’s …

A few thoughts that are not my own.
For Christmas, my family got two baseball books. One was The Baseball Book from Sports Illustrated, which was the greatest thing ever, and the other was Home Plate Don’t Move, a compilation of baseball-related quotes. Here are some of my favorites. “Any ballplayer that don’t sign autographs for little kids ain’t an American. He’s a …

Ice EVERYWHERE
Last night, just a few nights after I got home for my first college Christmas break, a soft rain fell throughout the wee hours of the morning. The rain froze as soon as it hit any cold, solid objects, thus coating the entire town in over a half an inch of ice. Icicles line each …

It’s Sunday, which means church, naps, football, and PostSecret. I’m sure you’ve already heard of this site, but if you haven’t, please make it a part of your websurfing every Sunday. Labels: quickies, random

On Christmas
In my previous post, I briefly mentioned my cheery Christmas mood. All I mentioned there was the surface stuff — music, shopping, decorating. But to me, the very best thing about Christmas is the giving. In today’s fast-paced, self-centered society, it seems that most people spend at least 11 months of the year thinking about …

A few new things
So it’s been a while; my bad. A few things since last posting…. The Big XII Championship game: The game was last night in Kansas City. As you probably already know, Nebraska lost to Oklahoma, 21-7. Talk about underachieving on the offense. Man, that was a disappointment. However, it was a heck of a fun …

Nebrasketball is BACK
Well, as outlined in my previous post, I was all psyched up for Nebraska vs. Creighton. Sure enough, when I went to leave the dorm at just before 5:00 (for a 7:00 game), people heckled me. “Minda,” they said. “Why are you leaving Michigan/Ohio State so early? Who cares where you sit, because Nebraska is …
