College Homecoming
by Nathan on Feb.19, 2009, under About Me, Travel
Back in October, I went back to college for homecoming and my fraternities 125th anniversary. I couldn’t wait to blog about it, yet somehow I’m just now getting to it. Hmm… I considered just scrapping this post, but I knew you would want a tour of my college. It is the greatest college in the universe after all. I went to Doane College in Crete, Nebraska. Doane is a small liberal arts college with about 1000 students and Crete is a small town of about 5000 people. Doane had a great community. Everybody knew everybody and all that stuff. At Doane, I was a double math and physics major with a minor in computer science. I was also a member of the Delta Kappa Pi fraternity. Which is odd, because I’m not really the frat guy type. My fraternity was great though. It gave me this incredibly active social life that required zero effort on my part. I’m a big fan of things that provide big rewards for minimal effort. I should totally put that on my resume.
Let’s start the tour, please keep your arms in legs inside the tram at all times. This first building is the new education building (I think). This building did not exist when I in school. It looks very prestigious though, I’m impressed. Doane has a lot of education majors, and they spend their entire college careers cutting shapes out of construction paper, or so it seems.

Scotch-a-Roos

This is one of my favorite recipes. Scotch-a-roos. They are sort of like rice crispy treats, but denser and richer and better. Instead of marshmallow holding the rice crispies together, scotch-a-roos use corn syrup, sugar, and peanut butter. They are topped with melted chocolate and butterscotch. I love butterscotch. Not many people have heard of scotch-a-roos, which is a great tragedy. Fortunately, my blog is here to save the World. Here are the ingredients: (continue reading…)
My Second Interview
by Nathan on Feb.07, 2009, under About Me
Once upon a time, I had grand visions for this blog. I was going to talk about politics, religion, deep deep spiritual things. I was going to have this great perspective that would leave people in awe. Also, I was going to be funny, really really funny. Hillarious in fact. I figured it would spawn a book deal, TV show, and eventually movies. Then I realized that all that was going to take work, so now I’m just here to play games.
Today’s game is brought to us by Jeannette. She asked me to interview her in a comment to this blog post. I interviewed her (here). Then she asked me interview questions, which is totally breaking the rules will probably get us both kicked off the blogosphere, but whatever, I’m not in the mood to blog about the scotch-a-roos I made two months ago. So here we go again. Wheeeeeee! (continue reading…)
