Nebraska Newspaper

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Okay, here’s the thing: remember that post about how I’m just not into news and all that jazz? Well, I’ve decided to give it another go, and this time instead of relying on just news sources over the internet or based on hearsay (I consider watching the news on television “hearsay”), I would [...]

Nebraska Real Estate

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

One of my on-line acquaintances asked me about Nebraska real estate, because she and her new husband (husband number three she would joke, in a harem of five) were planning to move to Nebraska. After making several jokes along the lines of “Why would you want to?” I apologized and told her that [...]

Nebraska News

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Just had this conversation with Big Bill, one of my favorite hobos (he’s not really a hobo, more like a friend who’s too lazy to look for a job yet even though he graduated already). Anyway, he told me that I’m a little too obsessed with stories of the past; history and all that [...]

Nebraska Bookstore

Monday, January 14th, 2008

So. I’ve realized that I’ve just ranted with righteous indignation AGAIN over random things. What do I do? I go to the Nebraska Bookstore in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Despite the fact that I was just very recently ranting about the Huskers, the Husker merchandise sold at the Nebraska Bookstore doesn’t [...]

Nebraska Athletics

Monday, January 14th, 2008

In an effort to forget about the Nebraska DMV, I bugged one of my male friends, Zeke, over the phone. And Zeke, being the guy that he is, began to talk about Nebraska athletics and why whenever someone says anything about Nebraska athletics, everyone immediately assumes they’re talking about the Huskers. [...]

Nebraska DMV

Monday, January 14th, 2008

I have been told that I am seriously not alone in the universe whenever I say that I really, really, do not care for the Nebraska DMV, or any DMV for that matter. I mean, I’m sure there are nice people who work there, and that really, the existence of the Nebraska DMV or [...]

Nebraska Basketball

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Pretty much like almost every other sport here in Nebraska, Nebraska basketball’s top of mind reaction and connection happens to be college Nebraska basketball. It’s really not that surprising – after all, college sports happen to be very popular and the University of Nebraska (Lincoln) had so far provided the state a place [...]

Nebraska Secretary of State

Friday, January 11th, 2008

I know that some of the people I know will groan about this and tell me that I’m being optimistically supportive again, but I simply have to say this: keep up the good work, Mr. Gale! You’re doing a great job as the Nebraska Secretary of State!

Now, if some of you outsiders [...]

Columbus Nebraska

Friday, January 11th, 2008

To stave off boredom, I decided to go back to doing that dart and map thing that I do. That, at least, might help me figure out if I really am up to that road trip Lily and I were planning. So the forward the dart flew…and suddenly I’m in Columbus, Nebraska. [...]

Miss Nebraska

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Ricki, one of my flamingly gay friends from college, just called me up to tell me that we simply HAVE to go and see Ashley Bauer off. It took us a few minutes of “Who?” and “You’re not serious!” before it finally clicked and I remembered that she is Ashley Bauer, Miss Nebraska. [...]
