News You Can Bruise for 2004 June 16

Permalink [Comments] (2) Wed Jun 16 2004 14:36 Anniversaries:

Four years ago today I graduated from UCLA. In the intervening time, I could have gone to college again! My classmates are now programmers, cartoonists, Ph.D. candidates, law school students, etc. Our various plans to take over the world with horrific man-bots have yet to see fruition.

Today is also the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday. At some point in the past few years I decided that I would spend today in Dublin being a middlebrow literary tourist. Well, that didn't work out either.

When I was 13 I got to page 72 of my mother's copy of Ulysses and then I found a copy of Finnegans Wake in a used bookstore and I never went back to Ulysses. From this you can figure out what it was I thought was interesting about Ulysses. I should try it again now.

There was a thing is newsweek about the parties planned in Dublin. I caught up with you in school, didn't I?

Yeah, you did. The difference in our graduation dates is the same as the age difference between us.
