Down To One

nobody@vox.com(mikeacker) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 18:59:36 -0700

It's monday evening, which means that I have no class today. I do have a bunch of homework, and I have done about half of it, maybe a little bit more. Tomorrow is Game five for the Trail Blazers. Because of the way the last two games shook out in ...

Oh Man

So obviously if you watched the Blazer's game you are as disappointed as I am. I really hope that Portland can regroup. The thing that scared me about tonight is that Portland just played bad. How do you turn that around in just a few days. Housto...

Last Chance

nobody@vox.com(mikeacker) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 12:52:29 -0700

Today is the final day of the regular season of the NBA. Portland plays Denver tonight, in a game that has plenty of playoff implications. Hopefully Houston loses to Dallas so Denver doesn't have to beat Portland. If that happens Portland will lik...

Who?

Today is Saturday, and it is also the second day that Liv and I have had two brand new kittens. We got the first one yesterday afternoon at the Humane Society after Liv saw some photos online. We had put one of the two kittens that Liv saw on a fo...

Home Again, Home Again

nobody@vox.com(mikeacker) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 00:30:54 -0800

I just got home after watching the Trail Blazers dispatch the former Sonics, now the Oklahoma City Thunder. Liv and I moved out to North East Portland last Saturday, and we are in the slow process of unpacking all the stuff that we have. One of th...

WTF?

nobody@vox.com(mikeacker) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 13:23:42 -0800

So apparently last night downtown Portland turned into a little bit of a war zone. I was riding the MAX home last night after the Blazers dispatched the hogwarts house team, otherwise known as the Washington Wizards, and 3rd Ave. near Ash was swar...

Seen It All Before

nobody@vox.com(mikeacker) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 01:28:03 -0800

I just got home from the film The Reader, and I think that it is safe to say that I have now seen all the movies that may be in the consideration for the upcoming Academy Awards. Because the nominations have not been released yet, I will not specu...

Movin' On Up

nobody@vox.com(mikeacker) — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:30:11 -0800

Not a lot of new news. First off, I have officially requested to be changed over to the new MFA program starting next fall at PSU. One of the women that I talked to on campus said that as long as I turn in the form it should all be ok. They, the E...
