My Pillow Book

I've decided that just like Sei Shonagon, I will maintain a 'pillow book' of sorts. Besides gossiping and showing off how smart she was, Sei maintained lists of all kinds of things. Some were funny and some were...interesting. I think that Tuesday will be list day.

  • People that don't see the forest and all of the trees in it
  • Complaining about certain things. One of the great things about living in a capitalist society is that someone else will provide the business you are seeking.
  • Living in the past.

My commentary from the NCAA Championship Game on April 4
North Carolina:
-[On a missed free throw]
What are you doing? There is no margin for error here!
-[On yet another turnover to Illinois]
What are you doing? This is no fcuking Christmas!
(Yes, I intentionally spelled it that was. Incidentally "fcuk" is the acronym for the apparel store 'French Connection,' more specifically 'French Connection United Kingdom.')
-[On yet another Sean May rebound]
Na Na Na Na Heh Heh Heh
-[On Sean May again-note I did not originally say "ball player"]
That is a big old ball player!

On Saturday, December 14th

 I spent a good portion of the day watching the Flintstones holiday marathon (with some breaks for “A Christmas Story,” “Knots Landing”-the...
