Hmmm......so today I've heard Beck's "Where It's At" twice...
The first coming into Bruce on my way to work, on WMSV 91.1
The second leaving Calhoun City on my way home, on NPR 89.9/90.3 (which was weird b/c that's the National Public Radio)
And last week I heard a Modest Mouse song (Float On) both pulling into the TV7 parking lot AND leaving it the SAME DAY. (ANDREW........I'M WAITING FOR MY CD)
OOOH....WEIRD

Has Anyone....
Seen "Cheaper By The Dozen"? (the new one)
I know it's silly to ask b/c the movie looks like a turd, but I've been seeing an ad for it on pay per view, and they show a shot of Wayne Knight (...sigh......Newman from Seinfeld---the really fat guy) screaming. The reason I'm asking is b/c he looks like he's lost A LOT of weight. I just thought it looked cool and wanted to confirm it.

Episcopalooza Day Number 28
Greetings fellow fellows!
Wow!
After that whole incident with Father Veerjay and young Timmy, I thought Episcopalooza would be cancelled for sure! But the Almighty smiled on us once again and we've had 4 weeks of pure unadulterated fun! (Teehee, I said adultery)
Pat Robertson visited us last night and told us that Shrek 2, the biggest money-maker of the summer was indeed evil. He said that he never got around to seeing it yet, but he could sense that it in fact was a direct slam against the Bush administration's environmental policies. 'Too much pollution, and we'll turn to ogres' was his idea of the movie's stance. He warned us that unless we join the Young 700 Republicans Club, we'll go to that firery burning place for sure.
He also told us that Dr. Octopus called and donated money to the CBN regularly, and that Spiderman was the real bad guy.
He was also visibly content, no make that pleased, that Jeff did indeed leave Coupling.
So as I leave you tonight, Be safe, be fun, and most of all, just be.

Über Sigh........
Well, the good news....Coupling Series 4 starts next Sunday.
The ultra sad news.....Jeff (Richard Coyle) LEFT THE SHOW!
Yeah, some other guy has been added to the cast--not AS Jeff, mind you--as a replacement who is supposed to be a love interest for Jane.
This is incredibly sad news b/c even though he didn't support the frame of the show, Jeff made Coupling so great.
With all hope, they will wrap up the story and end the show this series. (Unless Richard Coyle stops being lame and rejoins the cast.) I would much rather it end now....even without series 4....than seeing it jump the shark with no Jeff.
I'm going to cry right now, but I'll be done later b/c Coupling Series 3 is out on DVD this week! (So is DUKES OF HAZZARD! Woohoo!)

Super FanTabulous Movie Review - "The Day After Tomorrow"
After the unbelieveable success of my review for "Troy" (meaning that no one read it), I have decided that every time I see a movie in the theatre, I'll put my spin on it and tell you what I walked away with.
First I will apologize for the pain I will cause....please don't stop reading my blog b/c I don't see that many movies. And if they are good, Andrew and I won't make fun of them so it'll be my own musings, not the good jests that Andrew makes.
So tonight's movie is "The Day After Tomorrow," a scathing exposé blaming George W. Bush for killing mother earth. We were warned by Pat Robertson (of the 700 Club on TBN) that this movie was a sensational and untrue political rant against the existence of global warming and republicans who won't stop it. But aren't church and state supposed to be separate? And why are prominent Christians right wing conservatives? It's God's earth, after all. On the other hand, Art Bell and George Noory (of Coast to Coast A.M.) say it's gonna happen within the next 20-50 years.
For a bit of background, this movie is from director Roland Emmerich, who brought us "Independence Day" and "Godzilla," so be prepared for scenes of cities being torn apart by fireballs and lizards, combined with intimate storylines that actually attempt to develop characters more than other sci-fi action movies. However, the dialogue has not been improved since these movies, so we've seen it all before.
Our story begins in the arctic where dudes are drilling and taking core samples of the permanently frozen (or so we think) earth. B/C of the effects of global warming, the ice starts to break up and the frozen grounds cracks and splits We are introduced to our hero Dennis Quaid, who is there drilling the ice with his buddies. After deciding to skedaddle away from the rupturing ice, He's in India at a conference concerning global warming where he gives the Vice President a good slam (ticking off the VP) and meets Bilbo Baggins, a.k.a. reknowned British actor Ian Holm. Well, after some plot and dialogue basics, we meet our other hero, Dennis Quaid's son Jake Gyllenhall, a.k.a. Donnie Darko (or for the less sophisticated movie-goers Bubble Boy) who once again plays a high school kid.
Unbeknownst to everyone in the cast except Bilbo and Dennis (Randy Quaid's only-marginally talented older brother), the melting of the ice has caused a disruption in the earth's ocean currents so Los Angeles and New York are in for a heck of an ordeal. Note to Los Angelesians: If you see a Tornado coming down Sunset Blvd., GET INSIDE TO SHELTER IN THE LOWEST CORNER OF A WINDOWLESS BUILDING!
So Donnie Darko has flown to New York for an academic decathalon and gets trapped there b/c water seems to be rising and culminates with a giant tidal wave that is shown over and over on the previews. He manages to lead everyone to safety in what appears to be New York's ONLY library. Of course the city is totally flooded, and a few ships pass by, stopping to ask for directions.
Now the interesting twist is that as the storm cloud moves, it freezes everything, and at the eye of the storm—which is about to pass over NY—the temperature drops 10 degrees every second. So Dennis and The Fellowship have to travel to rescue Donnie Darko. Meanwhile Donnie Darko's girlfriend is sick, so he must enclose himself in a plastic bubble and save his girl. He and his friends go out into the city that has become frozen tundra in search of medicine. Along the way they have many adventures, including a battle with the wolves of Isengard that have been sent by Saruman while they are atop Carahadras. Luckily, Gandalf uses magic to frigthen the beasts away.
Even after stopping at Wendy's for a snack, Dennis Quaid and his only remaining friend (I'm willing to bet that Hollywood action movies REQUIRE a certain amount of deaths of both minor and major characters per movie....kind of a body count quota. If you are a 'best friend who has worked with the hero for 20 years,' you are screwed. If someone wants to investigate, please do...i'm too lazy.) continue their trek to find his son. After asking directions, they find the library and everyone is happy. Now, the opening credits roll. The next hour and a half of the movie is just plot resolution and details I won't bother with.

Orange You Glad I Didn't Say Banana?
Ok Ok, now I'm reading OTHER people's junk email.......check THIS ONE out!!!
ATTN.
Greetings Sir.
This letter might surprise you because we have not met neither in person nor by correspondence. But I believe it is one day that you get to know somebody either in physical or through correspondence. I got your contact through some discreet inquiry
from the chamber of commerce and industry, you and your organization were revealed as
being quite astute in private entrepreneurship, one has no doubt in your ability to
handle a financial business transaction.
However,I am the first son of his Royal Majesty, Iginawari Waya Adisaraki III and the
traditional ruler of Eleme Province in the oil area of Rivers State of Nigeria. I am
making this contact to you in respect of US 28,000,000.00 (Twenty eight million
United States Dollars) which I inherited from my late father.
This money was accumulated from royalties paid to my father as compensation by the
oil firms located in our area as a result of oil presence on our land which hamper
agriculture which is our major source of livelihood. Unfortunately my father died
from protracted diabetes. But before his death he called my attention and informed me
that he lodged some funds on a two boxes with a security firm with an open
beneficiary status.
The lodgment Security Code Number was also revealed to me, he then advised me to look
for a reliable business partner abroad, who will assist me in investing the money in
a lucrative business as a result of economic instability in Nigeria. So this is the
main reason why I am contacting you for us to move this money from the security firm
to any country of your choice for investment purposes. So I will like you to be the
ultimate beneficiary, so that the funds can be moved in your name and particulars to
any country of your choice where it will be claimed and invested.
Hence my father have had intimated the security firm personnel that the beneficiary
of the Box is his foreign partner whose particulars will be forwarded to the firm
when due. But I will guide you accordingly. As soon as the fund reaches you,i wiil come over to meet you in person, so that we can discuss physically on how to Investment the money in your country.
Based on this instance I and my family have unanimously decided to give you 20% of
the total money and annual 5% of the after tax returns on investment for the first
three years. Thereafter, the term shall be varied. 2% for charity homes and 3% for
expenses, which may arise during the transaction, fax and phone bills inclusive. The
balance of 75% you will invest and manage for my family. I hereby guarantee you that
this is not government money, it is not drug money and it is not money from arms
deal. Though you have to maintain high degree of confidentiality on this matter. I
will give you all proof of deposit and existence of money once urged and fully
satisfied with your capability and honesty. I hope this will be the beginning of a
prosperous relationship between my family and your family.
Nevertheless if you are for any reason not interest, kindly inform me immediately so
that I will look for another contact. I required also your private phone and fax
numbers for easy communication.
I am waiting for your quick response
Yours faithfully.

Now ain't THAT AWESOME!!!
Clarissa Explains It All
So, can names and appearance determine personality, do they work together, or is it coincidence?
Look at someone and their demeanor. Then get to know them....isn't it odd how their personality matches the way they look?
And this is all sterotypes aside, but sterotypes are there for a reason!
For example......take a 'biker.' They ALL look alike. They all have that gruff, dirty, fat exterior. They are smokers, with beards, and tattoos.
Now, my perfect example is a (real) guy named Jesse James. This guy's name and looks match his personality. Some call him the outlaw.
Now, did his parents just joke around and name him that....and somehow know he would grow up with the personality he has? So here's a question: can the name or appearance shape personality, or vice versa?
And is it all a coincidence?

Can I Take Your Ord......Kchkckkickchhhhhh
So I pull up to Sonic tonight and order my dinner....not long after that the power goes out.
The whole building went dark.
What's odd......about 5 minutes later the lights came on, and my order came out.
The whole building went dark.
What's odd......about 5 minutes later the lights came on, and my order came out.
Git-R-Done.....
So everyone is a little voyeuristic inside right? I mean, you want to take a peek into the private lives of people now and then, just out of curiosity don't you?
Think about it...
How it started:
Well, last year I was given something to edit. It was shot on a MiniDV camera, which I do not have...so I was given the camera to take home and put the footage on my computer. Well after the footage was over, I let the tape keep running, and found out it was not blank. Of course I stopped just moments later, but couldn't help seeing just a moment of a home video. It was this person's son, on what appeared to be xmas morning, playing with a bataan with streamers. I stopped it, feeling like I was invading privacy......and put the camera back in the case. As I did.......I noticed a lot of tapes in the case...probably all home movies. You can stop worrying b/c I did NOT watch them, but oh, how I wanted to.
You see, (and I know I'm not the only one, b/c I've talked about this with other people before...) I've always been fascinated with 'the lives' of other people. For example, pick up something around your house...say a pencil...that thing was made my someone. Some individual turned on the machine that made that pencil. Who is that person? Where are they from? Do they have a family? Do they shave their body hair? What kind of music do they listen to? It goes even deeper. Walk outside, look up, and listen for an airplane. Someone is flying that airplane. They have a mother...who is she? What kind of music does she listen to? Does she shave her body hair? Someone made the instrument panel on that airplane. Do they have a family?
So thinking about these kinds of things, it's not unusual to want to do something as simple as watch other people's home movies.
Well this weekend I was going through my camcorder tapes and at the end of one I found mysterious xmas morning footage of 'some family.' I don't know who these people are or how I got this tape. It's on 8mm tape, and I don't know how it got to be in my possession. I recognize anyone, and I heard no names. Apparently the dad is shooting the footage, but mostly sets it on a table or tripod and lets it run. There are two teen daughters, a small boy, a mom, and a 'dad.' We see the mom only for a moment b/c she makes him cut the camera off, and I can only see the crotch of the dad. He's wearing thin black shorts and the camera is eye level to his package so you see some garbage flopping around. It's kind of funny. Later on the tape is the daugher(s) practicing cheerleading outside with a group of girls.
Who are these people? Where did I get this tape? Do they shave their body hair?
So the next time you drive by a hotel, look at the second room to the right on the first floor. Think of who they are and where they come from. What degree did they earn at college? When was their first kiss? Do they visit their dentis regularly? Do they......well you get the idea.
Oh, if anyone has home movies they would like to send me, let me know.

So I'm Not The Best At Growing A Flower Garden....
Man, I really hate it when my bookends need bookends.
Can someone build me some shelves? I've been going through all my camcorder tapes and stuff and almost every one I can erase and use again. And I have alot. So I need a shelf or somewhere cool to put the tapes until I want to use one....then when I'm through I can put them back. Oh well, if not, it's cool.

The Following Is A REAL Email I Received On February 25th, 2004. I'm Posting Here B/C It's Funny, And I'm Tired Of Saving It In My Inbox...
Minister Charles Simpson has the power to make you a LEGALLY ORDAINED MINISTER within 48 hours!
BE ORDAINED NOW!
As a minister, you will be authorized to perform the rites and ceremonies of the church!
WEDDINGS
MARRY your BROTHER, SISTER, or your BEST FRIEND!
Don't settle for being the BEST MAN OR BRIDES' MAID
Most states require that you register your certificate (THAT WE SEND YOU) with the state prior to conducting the ceremony.
FUNERALS
A very hard time for you and your family
Don't settle for a minister you don't know!
Most states require that you register your certificate (THAT WE SEND YOU) with the state prior to conducting the ceremony.
BAPTISMS
You can say "WELCOME TO THE WORLD! I AM YOUR MINISTER AND YOUR UNCLE!"
What a special way to welcome a child of God.
FORGIVENESS OF SINS
The Catholic Church has practiced the forgiveness of sins for centuries
**Forgiveness of Sins is granted to all who ask in sincerity and willingness to change for the better!
VISIT CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES
Since you will be a Certified Minister, you can visit others in need!
Preach the Word of God to those who have strayed from the flock
WANT TO START YOUR OWN CHURCH??
After your LEGAL ORDINATION, you may start your own congregation!
At this point you must be wondering how much the Certificate costs. Right? Well, let's talk about how much the program is worth. Considering the value of becoming a CERTIFIED MINISTER I'd say the program is easily worth $100. Wouldn't you agree? However, it won't cost that much. Not even close! My goal is to make this life changing program affordable so average folks can benefit from the power of it.
Since I know how much you want to help others, you're going to receive your Minister Certification for under $100.00... Not even $50.00... You are going to receive the entire life-changing course for only $29.95.
For only $29.95 you will receive:
1. 8-inch by 10-inch certificate in color, with gold seal
(Certificate professionally printed by an ink press)
2. Proof of Minister Certification in your name
3. Shipping is free

Play Like You Did Back In The Day
Living with genital herpes can be a hassle. Occasional outbreaks can be very inhibiting. So I talked to my doctor and he recommended Valtrex. Now, my outbreaks are suppressed. I may have genital herpes, but I don't let it get me down.

Slap-Happy Premiere Movie Superfantabulous Review.....
So I just saw Troy, and it is a decent movie....now, for those who probably will never see it (or think I'm talking about some dude) here's my review and summary.
In this epic history filled movie, Brad Pitt plays Troy Henderson, a happy-go-lucky suburbanite who freelances as a trained assassin. When Legolas the elf steals King Herod's wife and takes her back to the land of milk and honey, the king gets really angry and wants to start a war. So he asks his brother Amagemmon W. Bush what to do. So they decide to build a bunch of boats to make the trailer for the movie look amazing. After lots of fighting, mixed in with occasional breaks (probably for tea and scrumpets) Eric "TV's 'The Hulk'" Bana kills Brad "Troy" Pitt's cousin, thinking it is actually the hunk dating Jennifer Anniston. The two armies then decide to call it a day once again, even though they could just fight into the night and probably win. (Hey, those goofy Greeks, huh?) So then Brad Pitt decides to build a gigantic wooden elk....out of metal....and sneak it into the pleasant little village. Now, if you have actually read a history book, you would know what happens next so I won't explain it. (But Troy DID get to kill Bill) Even in a period piece such as this one, action movies can ALWAYS fit in explosions. I mean, in the age of Troy, fire wasn't even invented yet. So anyway, Boromir (Sean Bean) watches as Brad "Troy" Pitt is shot in the heart and reminisces how his shot-in-the-chest-with-arrows death scene was much better in The Fellowship of the Ring (and I agree--b/c he was protecting hobbits). Then at the end, once everyone has died and no plot has actually been resolved, we are treated to a Josh Groban song during the end credits. We are all happy b/c we have learned the history of Troy And The Argonauts.
Yeah, so even though the movie was filled with Brad's naked bottom, lots of cut and fit-dicked men slashing each other, the movie didn't get gay until the Josh Groban song. Titanic got Celine Dion....Pearl Harbor got Faith Hill.....Lord of the Rings got Annie Lennox.....and Troy got, ummmmmm, Josh Groban.
Riiiiiiiiight.
Yeah, actually once you see one epic war film you've seen them all. Every shot I've seen before in Two Towers, Return of the King, and the Mummy Returns. You know, 'picking up weapons,' 'putting on armour,' 'two giant armies clashing'....that whole bit.
So, go see Troy at your local cineplex and tell 'em I sent ya!

Oh Andrew.....Why Don't You Call Me?
That's it.....I'm switching to Earthlink!
Wow.....that commercial isn't totally fake.....
Today (and I have a witness) I had 1 minute left in an auction I was winning, and the internet connection was terminated!!!!
After I was finally able to reconnect, the auction was over and someone else had won!
So lame!
I almost had it...but I lost it.
Dang, I may never get my movie done.....

Ewwww........the computer I have at work is my computer that was previously owned by someone else. I won't mention names, but I'm sure you know this person, and know that he is incredibly hairy. Well, deep down into the keyboard, is nothing but hair and dust. Gross.
Yet funny.

Things We Screwed Up....
Ok, I'm sure there are more, but this is from the Freaks and Geeks official website:
(view the page here, then click the screw icon)
STAR WARS
Pilot episode
NEAL: “You should handle Alan the same way Han Solo dealt with Jabba the Hut. Avoid him.”
SAM: “Just avoid him forever.”
NEAL: “Just for four years.”
A lot of our viewers were confused by this one, wondering how Neal could know that Han and Jabba would meet years later in “Return of the Jedi”. But in saying four years, Neal means the length of high school, not how long Han avoided Jabba in the film series.
THE WALL
Episode #101, “Beers and Weirs”
NICK: “Does anyone wanna come see “The Wall” with me Saturday night?”
This episode is set in 1980. The movie “Pink Floyd The Wall” was not released until August 6, 1982. However, since the album was released December 15, 1979, it’s possible that Nick was referring to a laser show of “The Wall”.
DESIGNATED DRIVER
Episode #101, “Beers and Weirs”
CINDY: “Don’t worry, I’m the designated driver!”
Looks like we forgot that Cindy Sanders is only a freshman at McKinley High, which makes her about fourteen and not old enough to drive. But Cindy would probably still give you a ride… she’s very concerned about safety.
DUKES OF HAZZARD
Episode #104, “Tests and Breasts”
NEAL: “Anyone see “Dukes of Hazzard” last night?”
Neal and the geeks have this discussion in the cafeteria on a school
day. According to “Total Television” by Alex McNeil, “Dukes of Hazzard” aired on Friday nights in 1980. There is no way the geeks would have been in school the day after watching the show.

UPDATE:
Ang Lee directed 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' and 'The Ice Storm.'
Hmmm......very varied ends of the spectrum. So why did he screw up 'Hulk'?

I really want to watch more Tim Blake Nelson movies. This guy is so awesome.
In case you have absolutely no idea, Tim Blak Nelson played Delmar in O Brother,Where Art Thou? ........remember now? See, isn't that guy awesome?
He's in the movie "Holes" and is absolutley hilarious! But really serious at the same time. He's pretty good. He just looks goofy and is skinny. And has a cool voice and accent.

The First Night I Met Matt He Did An Impression Of Jared—The Subway Guy....
Oh man, this has been my first week 'back' at work, and I must admit the morning drive is awesome! .......
Even though I live 30 miles away, there has been one thing that has made it awesome....twice this week, on 2 separated occasions, I have heard on 92.1...on my way in....one of my favorite songs from weezer's "Pinkerton"......"The Good Life." You know....."I don't wanna be an old man anymore, it's been a year or two since I was out on the floor. Shake your booty making sweet love all the night, it's time I got back to the goo-ood life. I wanna go back YEAH!"
Anyway, I love that song, and have memories of Josh Mousie shaking his booty. And usually, either before or after, they play some Radiohead song. It's just awesome. I don't know if there is just some dude in there who likes that song, or if it's the format or what, but it's just too cool.
I guess if it stops I'll have to make a weezer/Radiohead mix tape to listen to every morning.
hahah.......Mousie.

My Biggest Fan........Has A Remote Control
Isn't this odd:
3.5" Floppy Disk drives are TOTALLY useless now. I mean a few years ago, ZIP drives came out, but the drives cost a few hundred, and disks were expensive too.
Now, we have Thumb Drives.
For $70, you can have a drive that holds 128mb of data (over 100 3.5"floppies) that utilizes USB ports.
So thumb drives are convenient and relatively cheap.
So NO MORE FLOPPIES!

I was sitting here watching South Park and the Jackovasaurus [pronounced "jack off a soar us"] (the annnoying Jar-Jar parody—"Oh, weeza in big doo-doo now!") and I had an epiphany.......I'LL GET THE MONTY PYTHON DISC #14 FROM NETFLIX!!
In case you don't know the story:
I have the entire 14-Disc set of Monty Python's Flying Circus. When I got it, it was brand new, still wrapped. Well, when I got to Disc 14, there was a case, but NO DISC. I was shocked. I mean, it's ok becasue John Cleese left in season 4 and they just did a few actual 'themed' episodes, but still, I can now complete the collection.
Oh, can I borrow tree fiddy?

Lou Ferigno's Cameo Was WAYYY Too Obvious...
So I'm watching The Hulk....and I'm still trying to figure out what's the deal with that movie. I can't decide if I like it or not. I'm just gonna say that it's not good.
I don't know of too many Ang Lee movies, but it seems like he's trying out something new with the editing of this movie. It's so fast paced, and doing all those effect thingys, it just gets old after 5 minutes. I mean, sure the 3-things-happening-at-once-on-screen is cool, but it's ENTIRELY overused in that movie. (Looks like someone blew the budget on editing software!)
I never read the comic book either, so I don't know the story, but the whole dad thing is just weird. It just seems like the end fight was only a way to dig the writers out of a hole.
Overall, it's not good.
Oh, and Stan Lee AND Lou Ferigno exit a building TOGETHER in a TOO OBVIOUS cameo. It's just lame.

If They Never Find The Body....Now I Can Be Youth Pastor
Psychologically speaking, of the Fellowship, Legolas has to be one messed up individual.
Think about it........up until the journey, Legolas had never encountered death. At least no one he was close to and loved. Now suddenly, he's with a group of people he doesn't know—save for Gandalf—and people are dying. New friends.
Well, first Gandalf, a long time friend, falls into shadow. Later, he watches as Boromir lay dead. At Helm's Deep, he's fighting alongside many men and rangers as they die.
I'm sure that he needed much therapy after it was all over.

It Made Me Cry.....But That Makes Me A Man.
I spent 4 years prostrate to the higher mind,
Got my paper, now I'm free.
---Indigo Girls
You are right Andrew, Big Fish was the best movie of the year. Of THIS year! ahahahaahah. ROTK still rules 2003! Hopefullly Big Fish will be remembered for the oscars next year. When a movie does that to me, it should win every award. Still waiting for Cold Mountain, though.
So I did spend 3 days in Starkville camping out in the library and working in McComas until 5a.m.

Campus Life Part 2....
Sights I see on campus #2:
Monday, outside Cobb I was waiting for my first exam to begin. I hear a rustling in the bushes. I look behind, and a white cat is living behind the bushes. Every Tuesday and Thursday this semester, Natalie and I would sit in front of Cobb between 9:30 and 11:00 classes. Never did we see this creature.
Tonight, about 11:15pm I park my car in front of McComas and begin to walk to the library. Out from the bushes jumps a small kitten with a white belly and a black back. At first I thought it was Toonces #2.5, but it didn't attack me so there was no family traits. I watched as it scampered across the parking lot. I saw a guy walking near it, watching him to see if he would notice the critter bolting past. He did not I suppose.
Not 1 minute later I'm walking by Hand Lab. By the sign and bike rack, I see what from behind looks like a large rat or some kind of rodent. From the front, I appears to be more of an o'possum. What was this magical creature, and why was it here?
Not 2 minutes after that, I've reached the Library and look out over the Drill Field at the newly erected new flagpole. There are four bright lights shining up at the large flag and big gold ball on top of the pole. Now, there is some type of winged animal flying and swooping into the light. The movements make it appear to be a winged mammal, such as a bat. Yes, a bat on the drill field.
Not 7 minutes before all of this, I was driving down the street behind the Library, and saw two shirtless dudes with black shorts behind one of the buildings. They were rather slim, but had other qualities of sasquatch. Who were these mysterious men?
Not 10 minutes after the others, I saw an Asian dude.
Not 20 minutes before any of this, I saw a white cat drinking from a puddle in the street. Most likely runoff from a sprinkler system. (it's very possible this was the same white cat in front of Cobb 3 days prior.)
I feel safe on campus. I love critters.
***almost every byte of this was true. actually, all of it was.

At McDonalds, NEVER Pay In Quarters....They Give You A Look
Sights I See On Campus....
Well, I didn't expect to post for a week, but I found time and a secluded corner in the computer commons to update.
If you plan to walk around with a laptop bag that looks like a briefcase, NEVER EVER wear a yellow shirt and camoflauge (Real Tree, mind you) overalls at the same time.
In fact, NEVER wear a yellow shirt and camoflauge overalls—period. Thank You.
I went to McDonalds this afternoon for some lunch, and only had a $1 bill and a $2 bill in my wallet. I ordered the #10, which is $3, and plus tax the total is #3.21—every time! So I didn't want to spend my $2 bill b/c I'm saving that as a tip for someone. So I knew that I had $3 worth of quarters and would pay with that plus 2 dimes and a penny. Exact change—cha ching!
Well, as I pay I give her the handfull (literally) of coins and, though not ashamed, tried to make a joking comment about it being entirely change. (I think it was "I'm gonna pay you in quarters today.") .......Nothing but an eye-to-eye stare and a sour look on her face. I mean come on, I didn't just break up with you, and I know fast food service sucks and you wish you could have a job that actually supports your family, but jeez, crack a smile every now and then. I want to see that gold tooth or yours shine!
So anyway, I guess we can stop trying to be civil b/c food service workers just don't get it.
Either that, or pay with paper bills like any normal American.
How about I slip you that $2 bill and you accuse me of giving you fake money b/c you didn't know there was such a thing. "Does that mean you're gay?" Why don't you go read a book you whore of a fry-cook. All you gotta do is heat my buns and pour on the special sauce.
GO HERE AND READ
....now, see.....they're even gonna put it back in circulation. (hopefully this link will still be active by the time someone actually reads this post....if not, ask me about it.) (oh, and check this out too, pretty funny)
Rather than bore you with a story 99% of anyone who reads this knows about, I'll just say the two things that EVERY college student can complain about:
1. Parking
2. Book Store Rip-Off
Now, formulate your own complaint and email them to me, rather than listen to me make the same complaints made since the dawn of man. Or, at least the dawn of Universities.

GO HERE AND READ
....now, see.....they're even gonna put it back in circulation. (hopefully this link will still be active by the time someone actually reads this post....if not, ask me about it.) (oh, and check this out too, pretty funny)
Rather than bore you with a story 99% of anyone who reads this knows about, I'll just say the two things that EVERY college student can complain about:
1. Parking
2. Book Store Rip-Off
Now, formulate your own complaint and email them to me, rather than listen to me make the same complaints made since the dawn of man. Or, at least the dawn of Universities.

Dude....
I saw the coolest thing today.....
As I was driving to Bruce, I came to the road that turns to Macedonia. A car had just stopped, and a boy jumped out of the car with his hands in the air as if saying 'yeayy!' From the back his mom got out, giving him a high five. It was just so cool to see him so happy.
NOW.......I'LL ADD ONE DETAIL TO THE STORY:
As I was driving to Bruce, I came to the road that turns to Macedonia. A car had just stopped, and a black boy jumped out of the car with his hands in the air as if saying 'yeayy!' From the back his mom got out, giving him a high five. It was just so cool to see him so happy.
Did that one detail really make a difference? It's odd, but I think it did in a way. It changes how you think of it. Now that you know it was a black boy, you probably see him celebrating in a different way. Sad though, huh?
Ok sorry......now on with my post....
I just got to thinking.....sure that boy is happy now that he learned how to drive, but in 4 years he'll find out how much it SUCKS! Actually having a car is so much trouble. You have to ....do....stuff for/with it. Gas.....insurance.....Armor All......it sucks. Life was so much easier when you could just sit in the back or the passenger seat while someone else drove you around.
Just thinking little buddy.....you won't be jumping for long.
Reality sets in sometime.
But still, it was cool.

96 Quite Bitter Beings Told Me So....
I'm sure none of you know this, but you know how the term for junk email is 'spam'?
Well, we can credit Monty Python with this moniker.
(Thankfully, not for the whole junk email thing)
Well, to not tell it all here, you can go to this link to find out the story (my project site last semester) and this link to read the skit's script.
And you can come to me for a video copy of the skit.
(oh, for more on spam, visit this site I made last semester.)
Oh, and 96 Quite Bitter Beings can't be wrong...
