I thought that name sounded familiar

Posted on 10:59 PM by jackline
Justin Furstenfeld, the lead singer for the group Blue October, was a freshman at the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts the same year I was a senior there (1990-91). Like me, he was a theatre major.By the way, Hate Me is one of the best singles of 2006 so far.

Salve, O Patria

Congratulations are in order for Ecuador, who punched their ticket to the second round of the 2006 World Cup after slaughtering Costa Rica, 3-0, earlier today.Not too many people gave Ecuador, playing in its second World Cup, much of a chance of getting out of the first round; one prognosticator compared Ecuador to one of those first-round-and-out teams in the NCAA basketball tournament. The team

My latest creation

Posted on 11:54 PM by jackline
The latest issue of As The World (Wide Web) Turns - Cougar Edition is now up at coogfun.com. It's long, and it might not make a lot of sense to anyone who isn't a regular reader of the various University of Houston fan forums.

The Astros are now sitting at .500, a good 7.5 games behind division-leading St. Louis. They have lost eighteen out of their last twenty-six games.
