Mission Accomplished
^said in Kronk voice^
That is to say that one of the main goals of TNT was accomplished last night.
In other news, sometimes being very tired brings clarity of thought and focus. When you're so tired that trivial noise falls out of your mind, the things that are left were the things that were quietly waiting there all along.
In other news, the airplane is ok. Thank goodness. Quite the drama. And speaking of drama, I watched part of the episode of Lost that recapped the previous season. Looks highly interesting.
I should've done my homework earlier. I hate trying to plow through assignments at the last minute. The assignment in question was one from my Formal Languages & Algorithms class involving converting transition graphs into regular expressions using Kleene's theorem. Joy of joys.
Last night was fun. The WSU Marching Band exhibition was a blast. Except for the part where WSU was on the field. At least for me. And that is because I was made painfully aware of just which parts of the show I need to work on. That said, the show did go fairly well overall. I'm just a bit miffed that I missed Skyview's performance. From what everyone said it was the best show of the evening, including AF's, which was my favorite out of the shows I did see.
I beat Grow Cube all by myself, but for the Grow RPG I gave up and Googled it. Fun stuff. Reminiscent of Myst.
What an odd picture of me there was in the Signpost today. I think they Photoshopped the whole thing. But what do I know. The Signpost is getting more and more like a tabloid every issue. Pretty soon they'll have a picture of the Bat-boy playing water-polo against Michael Jackson in the duck pond by the Student Service building. Honestly - someone that could lick his own elbow or contort his arms like that? Give me a break.
Now I just need to capitalize on my newfound fame and find someone gullible enough to fund my hairbrained financial venture. Maybe I should come up with one of those for someone to finance.
The hour grows late.
Oh, it's pointless staying up for even twenty seconds more
When everything has happened and there's nothing left in store
The thing is now to lay my head down, close my eyes, and snore
And so to bed directly I goooooooooooooo

What would happen
if you thought about a hypothetical situation?
throw-down of the day: Halo 2
pain of the day: the one in my heel caused by my sk8
dessert of the day: s'mores
yay of the day: finding out that my order is in at Bert Murdock
upcoming birthday of the soon: A. Jarrett's
injury of the day: door @ the Stick slicing my finger open (go-go gadget antibiotic ointment + bandaid)
I got an email from the distinguished Elder Kobus today. Kuchen will be forthcoming. I didn't learn anything new in my P.E. class today, but I got better at the stuff we've learned over the past few weeks. I am totally going to use a reference to this week's Institute video announcements tomorrow. I get to host my Alma Mater tomorrow as well. Also for tomorrow I need to see about getting an extra bolt from the Nut & Bolt Supply Co., putting on the other tenor head, adding oil to my car, and thinking about buying new tires. And doing my homework. Which reminds me...
Never put off today what you can put off tomorrow. <-- Procrastinators' mantra.
Note to self: try out these recipes
Rhubarb Whip - The Lion House Cookbook
Tropical Crisp - The New Cooking Light Cookbook
They sound delic'. [duh-lish']
Incidentally, what is the Alt code for the shwa (sic).
quote of the day:
"Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes

All, right, a quick cup of blog
Then take him out and finish the job!!!
If running with scissors is bad, running with a sword is worse, no? Well that's what this guy was doing that I just saw.
blogs of note:
photo-a-day
Twinkie Experiment
Time to head down to Thursday Lunch. This week Pete told everyone that it's pizza. Guess I better go so I can get a spot in line.
Chow.

Work Hard/Play Hard
What better to do on Labor Day than to... labor? Well, I can think of some things. But I did have a ton of stuff to do and this was the only chance I'll have for a while to take a whole day doing that stuff. Most of it was cleaning my room and sorting through boxes of my stuff that have been sitting in our garage for approximately 6 years.
After working though, there's no better way to relax than going to the park with my siblings and ninja brother-in-law to play steal the flag. Superior sneaking and athletics can outdo superior numbers.
One of my coworkers just got a call from his wife saying their water heater gave up, so he is going to his house to try to get the water to not be where it should not be.
Ok, time for work.

Breakfast Cereal
I really like breakfast cereal. I understand it. I know just what to do with it. It is not beyond my ability to manage properly. Breakfast cereal rarely goes wrong, and when it does it is very minor. Breakfast cereal is something straightforward - something I can handle.

Today
should be fun. I hope that my experience here at work will be magical. And speaking of magical, if you're interested in getting some exercise, climb the stairs @ the Stick and look on the whiteboard in the faculty lab. It's funnier maybe to me than it would be to people who don't have to deal with the problem, but it's still pretty funny.
I like the Earth. Nice measure tool. For example, it's approx. 394.11 miles from Raadhusplads (the main square) in Copenhagen to the alley mall with the crystal shops and T-shirt nook in Prague. And roughly 4,070 miles from Blomfontein to the Great Pyramids at Giza. Isn't technology cool?

Okay. Bye.

I just thought this was a little bit cool
Reminded me of that breakdance vid I sent around a while back.
