St. Olaf and A Serious Man

There is a story in the Star Tribune about one of the amazing props left behind by the Coen brothers at Olaf after filming A Serious Man.

It is crazy to think I took biology in the exact room. I can't wait to see the film.

I feel sorry for the poor retired St. Olaf professor who had to help develop all the physics equations.

Then There Are Times You Have to Love the Country

Today, thousands of UFO sighting files are being released in the UK. How cool is that! However, just a few weeks ago, the government announced they were closing down the office that dealt with these issues since they had no money. No more Mulder and Scully for GB.

A Life Of Inconsistencies!

I have learned to deal with the weirdness and lack of customer service in England since I have almost been here for 2 years. But the inconsistencies of the country drive me mad. Case in point....showing the Olympics.

I really enjoy the Olympics and would like to watch them, even if there is a time delay. In the states, I know I can count on NBC to show me hours of Olympics every night. Nope, not in England. Let's see - on Saturday the Olympics were on at 12:30-2:30 pm, On Sunday is was on from 8:oo - 10:00 pm, on Monday it was on from 6:30-8:30 pm and today, it is on at 1:45 pm - 3:45 pm. WTF is all I can say!!!!!
