insert sad face here

Some people might say it comes with the territory but I think it’s more a matter of correlation than causation. There’s an awful lot of football fans in Gainesville, Florida, specially when it comes to alumni and I happen to be one of them.

The last time I was this amped about college football was at the beginning of last season (heh). The problem is that I won’t be around to watch this year’s  madness go down, not one Saturday. I’ve already missed the first one, and the odds that I catch any of the remaining games are fairly low-unless there are indeed Gator clubs out in the East. (I´m sure there´s got to be a few Gator fans out there in India.)

If there´s one thing I might be mad about with respect to this trip, this is it. But probably not (that much).

16: moments

September 2, 2009

This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a while. It’s called Moments and it was directed by Will Hoffman.

It’s four minutes full of random moments that make up life. It’s a good flick all on its own but it’s even better in the context of RadioLab’s After Life series, which begins with an hour long show filled with stories dealing with the space and time beyond the point of no return and is followed up by a handful of equally excellent shorts (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, after birth) to close it up. This is the second-to-last short in the set.

Pretty eerie stuff coming from RadioLab but not that surprising.
