Nebraska Lottery

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Okay, I’m writing this in preparation for a mock intervention. Allow me to explain: my friend Joel is very much into the Nebraska lottery. And by “into” I mean he would gnaw off his right arm and left leg if it would mean he could get out of the house once a day […]

Nebraska Medical Center

Friday, December 28th, 2007

My friend Lily from Manila called me up about almost a year ago and told me that she’d be doing intern work for the Nebraska Medical Center System (she took up nursing in college), which means that we could actually see each other more often. I was inclined to agree, even though I’m not […]

Nebraska Election

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Well, the primary elections are coming up in May and Nebraska elections are definitely not going to be any less of an event compared to the other states. That’s not to say the Nebraska elections aren’t to be taken seriously; I mean, elections aren’t parties in the level of Spring Break or anything like […]

Nebraska Coeds

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

I’m taking a break from all the information-type things that I like writing about in order to rant just a bit over the condition of things…in particular, I’d like to rant about Nebraska coeds.

See, the thing is, it used to be that “coed” would refer to an educational establishment that allows young men and women […]

Nebraska Weather

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

As it is with what we’ve all learned when it comes to weather and climate, Nebraska weather is all about location, location, location. Just as there are TWO major time zones that separate Nebraska, there are supposedly two major climate systems that affect Nebraska weather.

Two thirds of Nebraska (in the eastern areas) […]

Nebraska Humane Society

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

If there’s one thing that I truly, completely, love about Nebraska, it would be the fact that they have so much respect for nature and all its inhabitants. And that isn’t limited to the wilderness either – there are more domestic incarnations of this love, such as that of the Nebraska Humane Society.

The Nebraska […]

Nebraska Election Results

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

I know, I know, it’s not even election season exactly so why in heaven’s name am I writing about Nebraska election results? Well, I suppose it’s only out of curiosity. I, like many other people (whose countries and governments are of the more democratic persuasion, of course) believe in the power of votes […]

Douglas County Nebraska

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Douglas County, Nebraska is reputed to be the county of the state that has the most number of citizens – their population as of the year 2006 had an official count of about four hundred and ninety-two thousand individual citizens in its population, and the number has undoubtedly grown since then. Apart from this, […]

Nebraska Wesleyan

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Nebraska Wesleyan University, fondly called NWU by students, is one of the private universities in the state of Nebraska; the campus stands in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Nebraska Wesleyan is also called a coeducational establishment, in that it was one the few private universities that allowed men and women to share educational facilities from the […]

Grand Island Nebraska

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Grand Island, Nebraska is one of the cities that can be found in the Hall County of the State of Nebraska. Currently, Grand Island Nebraska is serving as the county seat of the Hall County. What makes Grand Island Nebraska a notable city of the state, however, is not just its name (which […]
