soapbox

This has been bothering me for years. Tonight at the hockey game as the players were coming out for the third period, the PA had this song which starts with a bunch of “la laaa la de da” lines. And then someone who sounds like Sting sings what I think are the words “life is right” (could also be “life is life” or something like that). I’ve Googled these lyrics along with some other snippets I remember with no luck. They used to play this song at SLU hockey games when I was in college, and ever since then I’ve been trying to figure out the song’s title and who sings it. If you know, please help me out!

hockey vs. rensselaer. i think i’m going with jeremy and becky and i don’t know who else. anyone else wants to join us, let me know.

The new pope has turned in a bit of a surprise with his first encyclical.

I ain’t Catholic by any means, so I reckon my interest in what the pope has to say is rooted in the fact that he is a spiritual leader for so many people. At any rate, I’m going to defer to my good buddy Dustin for comments on this one, since I wholeheartedly agree with his take on the pope’s message. Y’all should check out Dustin’s blog post about it.

Poking fun at the guvment, while also poking fun at gaming:

Thanks, “Order of the Stick!”

Now we know this year’s Winter Carnival theme – not just the Olympics, but Calvin & Hobbes and the Olympics! good times.

Bill Waterson, author of the now-retired comic strip “Calvin and Hobbes,” is notorious for refusing to grant outsiders the right to use his comic creation, but the sculpture’s plan was approved because it is a temporary work of art.

The opening ceremonies will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday 9th February on the Green.
