Happy 2004! I noticed some news commentators calling it "twenty-oh-four" .. instead of "two-thousand-four". I kinda like that. Doesn't make me feel as old. RADIFIED set a new record last month, with over 1.4 million hits. (See here.) It wasn't long ago when the site didn't get that many hits all year. The *real* news here in SoCal today is the Rose Bowl game: pitting the USC Trojans (ranked #1 in the nation) against Michigan (2PM PST). Everybody is talking about it. In the cafes downtown, it's all the buzz. We were running the beach yesterday at Crystal Cove (a New Years eve-day tradition) and you could hear guys discussing it as they ran by. If you've read the Film School Chronicles, you know I spent some time at "SC" the last few years, and have grown fond of the university (home of the world's best Film school). Tickets to the game are impossible to get. I can usually find someone with a spare tik. But not for this game. People aren't even returning my calls. And if you've read the entry from the 28th of December, you know I just got back from a Christmas trip to Michigan. Had to bite my tongue there. Lots of blue fans .. wearing the colors & everything. They are ranked #4. Can hardly wait for the game to begin. What I wouldn't do for a ticket. |
