American History X

May 10, 2001 by Eric Richardson

So last night Kathy and I rented American History X on DVD since she hadn't seen it. Looking at the menu, something very odd stuck out to me... How can American History X have a language submenu? The thought of the movie dubbed into Spanish or something is just very odd... So I went to it and found the options for "Language" were English 2-channel and English 5.1. Subtitles? English or none.

I broke it. One errant keystroke and the Redhat installer leaves me with a totally wiped out system. As I sit here running twm and staring at a blank background, I'm left with a very harsh reminder that one keystroke can make an enormous difference.

(Friday) North Muskegon 13, Ravenna 6

April 29, 2001 by Eric Richardson

After starting off slow, we opened up on Ravenna and kept it from really being a contest. I went 2-4 with several RBIs, two of which came on a check swing single that managed to just skirt by the first baseman. I also stole third base three times, and came to the realization that if I'm going to keep that up, I really need to start wearing long sleeves. As it is, my arms bear the scars of my efforts. The win keeps our conference unbeaten streak alive, bringing our overall record (counting the Ruffer loss I'm not even going to mention) to 5-1 (4-0 conference).
