Yesterday's Post

I was going to post this yesterday, but I didn't. My computer choked after WOW, and I didn't feel like restarting it.

August 30, 2005
The new recording from the showband Ok Go was released today, so I went to the local merchantile to aqquire it. The merchantile in question I will not name directly for I do not wish to futher sully its already questionable reputation, I will however describe it thusly: This particular establishment claims that to purchase something from them is the best possible act of capitalism one could take part in. Anyway, as a entered the store I was ambushed by 3 of it's employees. "Can I help you with anything?" they all asked in unison. I replied by roundly slapping each of their presumptious mouths and saying; "Yes. You can help me by removing your odious carcasses away from my person, you shiftless gagg-a-bellies." In the wake of the clerks's departures I went about my task of purchasing the new recording. I quickly found the object of my desire, without the help of any petulant shopclerks mind you, and moved to purcahse the goods. As I approached the registers (that's right dear reader such is the dallyment of this merchantile that they feel the need for more than one cash register, oh the credulity of it all) I was assaulted yet again by the clerkery. "I can check you out over here," she said in the manner of someone who frequently says such things without so much as a thought to the consequences of their mouthyness. "I'm sure you could," I replied as I smartly rapped her jaw with my left spat. "That'll be 10 dollars and 69 sense." She groaned as she rang up my tab. I paid her with exact change in the most preditious way possible and quickly left the building, not before, however, I thrashed a good 4 or 5 more of the shopkeeps.

Some of this account is true. I'm not going to tell you which parts fictious and which are genuine. That, dear reader, is for you to determine.

My Crazy day.

So today I was sitting at home and Terrence called and said "Wanna go to a cubs game?" I was like "Where?" He was like "Chicago." I was like "When?". He was like "We leave in 20 minutes" I was like "Bonus." So I went to Chicago today but oddly enough we didn't end up going to the Cubs game. We got about halfway to Chicago when we realized we didn't have the tickets. The tickets were sitting on the table at my grandmothers house. There was a lot of swearing of a fairly creative nature At that point we were sort of commited to going to Chi-town so we continued on. So not having a baseball game to go to, we decided to go Lincoln Park Zoo. Lincoln Park Zoo is like a crappier more expensive less entertaining St. Louis Zoo. That being said, I love Zoos. They are awesome. Wild animals are fascinating. The only animal they had at Lincoln Park that they didn't at St Louis Zoo, as far as I know, is a giant panda. It was actually a touring Giant Panda, so it didn't actually live there, but it was there today. It was amazing. We ate at Bacinos and came home. It was a pretty fun day.

That was all a lie. My life isn't that interesting. I did see brothers grimm today. It wasn't very good.

So I just listened to Matthew's audio blog part two thing. All I can say is Christ. It's was like the first hegg's blog post I read, only in audio form. I should probably be more tolerant of people airing their problems in such an open forum, but I'm not. No matter how many times a person insists otherwise, it is a plea for attention. Maybe not a plea. But their is some desire there to have someone read/hear it and dispense pity or consolation or disgust or something.

Eh.. .whatever. Maybe they can't talk about it with anyone so they feel better just talking about it with everyone. If it works, good for them.

I'm listening to my friends's podcast...

I'm listening to my friends's podcast. It's sort of rambly. I thought it would be better. We could make it better. I think. The best part is when Bucket roars in anger. That rules.... yeah... it'll be better. I'm spoiled by This American Life.

Fanfics on sunday. The topic is stealth. Boo yah.

The cast is pretty Matthew heavy. It's a lot of Matthew talking about stuff, and everyone else trying to say something funny... all at the same time. It's kind of like our "movie".

Ha, ha ha. They're talking about cum. Matthew said Batato.

So... yeah it was ok for a first time out. I think we could actually produce something someone would want to listen to. We might have to learn how to edit.

There is a huge pile of clothes on my bed. All of my pants and some shirts... it's intimidating. Sometime between wow and bed I'm going to have to do something about it... yup...

Maybe someday I'll put something with some actual content on my blog. Yeah... that'd be cool.

The day that I did stuff.

Yesterday I got my books.
Yesterday I got car insurance.
Yesterday I went to class.

Today's my dad's birthday. He's 48. Good for him.

Today i'm going into work early.
Today I'm going to get my dad a birthday present.

This American Life

I've been listening to this American Life a lot lately. It's a good show. Go to thislife.org, you can listen to it too.

So school has started. My classes should be fairly interesting. I'm going to get my books tomorrow. I have one five subject notebook for all my classes. I only have four classes. I've decided that the fifth subject is where I'll doodle and sketch and write stuff during my hayward class. As bored as I get during his classes, I really like Dr. Hayward. He is a very smart man. He makes me feel stupid, but not on purpose. He's an excellent moderator of discussion and a werewolf.

How I spent my summer vacation...

So I go back to school tomorrow. Summer vacation is almost over. It's been good. At the beginning of the summer I set all kinds of goals for myself. I don't remember half of them... I know it didn't acomplish any of them... I think. Anyway, I'm not too dissapointed. I enjoyed my summer, for the most part. I worked a lot, which is one of the reasons I haven't been posting too frequently. I did a lot of thinking this summer, and came to the conclusion that I really like my life as is. My life is uncomplicated. I have great friends, a wonderful family, a fairly enjoyable job, a car that works, plenty of music to listen to, enough games and books to keep me occupied when I want to be occupied; in short I've got it pretty good. So... you know.. .thanks. Thanks to all of you whose unique imput to my life makes it so much fun to live (which is pretty much everyone I know). My life is better for knowing all of you.

I don't know why I'm so gushy tonight... maybe it's my new pajama pants. I'm generally more truthful at night anyway.

Goodnight.

I'm taking Australian Culture this semester

I signed up for some more classes this week. It was fun and painless. I'm going to play Galaxies now. I don't have an X-box anymore. I gave it back to Terrence. Now I can't watch movies and play games at the same time... Ho hum.
