Hub Kid Bids Updike Adieu

John Updike wrote many things, but I am mostly familiar with his essay on Ted Williams’ last game, with its egregiously compact, famous first line.

Tomorrow’s a big day

I’m going to see the horribly-reviewed play Hedda Gabler tomorrow; I can imagine you’re already beside yourselves because, you NO DOUBT KNOW, this play stars Mary-Louise Parker, and, well, that’s really it.

No I did not pay for the tickets, but I would have.

15 Minutes

Now is the first time in as long as I can remember that I’ve had 15 minutes during the day that I had completely to myself. I’m watching Lakers-Spurs and realizing why I only recently realized how much I truly hate the Lakers. The Yankees have been obvious but I love me some Shaq, so that muddled the affair back in the day. Now I’m back to inveterate hate. Yeah Kobe, miss that shot.

APTOPIX Clinton Confirmation

I love

That during this hockey fight there are five pairs of people beating the crap out of each other, but the camera’s only on the goalie fight. I love the goalie fight — wonderfully compelling.

Fun with typos

There was a typo in an essay I’m writing and it caused me to refer to something as “a painstakingly-crafted ribbon of pain.” The new search is to find something that can be described as such, and use it, because I love it. That is, if Trent Reznor didn’t use it first.

Tebow

Interesting article on Tim Tebow.

I think people are too quick to diminish his NFL prospects.
