Thanksgiving Break

Well I am going to be a lazy susan today and talk about Thanksgiving break. I had a good time. Went to some crazy parties in Ann Arbor and met some sweet people. I ate a whole bunch of food. I chilled out with the family a bunch. It was a good time. Came home on Friday and got in to Houghton at 3 A.M. which was a crazy trip. The coolest thing from the trip was when this deer was running down the road and I was following it with my lights and it slipped and fell. It landed right on its face and it was the funniest thing ever. I had to drive 20 mph because we were laughing so hard. Then we just spent the weekend chilling out. Randy made a sweet Matrix joke. that was way funny. Tom dyed his hair "Bright as F**! Yellow" as well. Now it is back to school for three weeks and 5 exams. Here are some pictures from the week.

Mac's Bar

Monday night Sara, Tony, and I went to Mac's Bar in Lansing to see a concert. It was absolutely amazing. After some local talent got the show going we got to see Heiruspecs and Tre Hardson. They both were awesome. We danced and had our hands up and a rockin all night long. We didn't get home till a bit after 3 am but that was ok. The concert was only 8 bucks too. But I did spend 75 in mechandise... I suggest picking up a CD or going to see them live for sure if you can. It would be worth every penny.

Snow

It snowed for the first time last night and today. I would say that about 6-10 inches have come down over the last 24 hours. It is really cool. I have been looking forward to this since I went back to school. Hopefully when I get back to school after break the slopes will be open and I can get out the board and tear it up. That would be way sweet. This is the first of many snowfalls to come. If you miss the snow you will just have to come visit me. On my walk to school this morning the snow guns were on at Mont Ripley. Snowboarding real soon!!

Compy is happy

Today the good ole computer got a well deserved fix-er-upper. It started with a fixing or my registry. Daemon Tools got all F-ed up and wouldn't install or uninstall correctly. Although I do not frequently turn my computer off when I had to restart I would get the most annoying error message about said problem. So finally after about an hour of searching my computer and the internet I got that removed correctly. Does that solve the problem? No way, it can never be that easy. My virtual drive was being a pain in the behind and I could not get that to go away. Finally I did and I have no more error message and the compy is running at top notch. Then I was chating with a friend whos computer was "randomly turning off." My roommate and I decided it was overheating and freaking out and shuting off. It seems like the most reasonable answer to us. I told her to pick up some air dust and blow that baby out. Which she then told her brother to do. Towards the end of the conversation I realized the the compy was way over due for a cleaning of the like. So I ran to walmart, it is the only store here, and I drove really but that is besides the point. I got carded as usual since you have to be 18 to buy it since you can get high as a kite of it (Which would be the dumbest thing ever. Why get high when you can have a clean computer?). I came back to my place and put her in the hallway and opened her up and sprayed away. After putting it back together my fans are quieter and pulling in and pushing out tons more of air. Idle temps dropped from 42C to about 39C which is always nice. Now my computer can be extremely happy with me because I made it feel loved (not that I am not on it 12 hours a day as it is). Also in the pics it has green cold cathods and the CPU fan has blue and white lights. Of course the case matches the drive which match the monitor and the speakers. Keyboard and mouse are the odd balls (white and blue). Brushed silver for the finish on the case which is, of course, Lian-LI. Lastly on the back pannel I am thinking of painting a sweet design. So if you have any ideas then let me know. (You can see the dust bunnies!!)

Package

USPS priority mail indeed! Despite the large amount of bubble wrap used by my mother to send me this sweet hunny nut cheerios bowl it wasn't to tough for the USPS. Although I am pretty positive she got this for free it is very depressing it ended up in such a state. Hunny nut cheerios are awesome and what would be cooler then eating them out of a corresponding bowl. So the box said fragile and the post office was told it was fragile. It was wrapped in multiple layers of bubble protection. What in the hell happened to my badass bowl? I have come to the conclusion it was one of two things. The first would be it fell off a truck. Well let me be more specific, it fell off a truck at least 10 times. I think a more realistic answer to the question would be that they thought the package was a football or they just wanted to play football. The initial punt would be enough to shatter this terrific bowl but any chance it had at surviving was crushed by halftime. What is to be concluded from this upsetting event? Fedex for packages. We will leave the USPS to the letters and postcards. If they are playing football with the packages, who knows what they are doing to your mail?!? We can only hope they don't "go postal", shooting down co-workers and civilians in the street. It would be another sad day for the USPS and isn't the bowl incident bad enough?

Ruff Ryder?!?

You have got to be kidding me. Let me introduce you to the newest member of the Ruff Ryders. First, she is white. Second, she doesn't rap. Third, she sucks. Now I am not trying to just knock on her because I am bored and have nothign to write about. I am just trying to tell the readers that this is the most obserd thing ever in history. Anyone who has ever heard of music should know who the Ruff Ryders are and what genres of music they are in support of. POP is not one of them. No, not, never, what the hell is going on with this label? With great song titles like "human" and "So Surious" and let's not forget "Yes" this will be their most profitable signing ever. OR they may realize that they are flipping idiots. She does not look "bad" or "ruff" and the only thing she is riding...well... Which makes you wonder how she got onto this label anyways. Yes though you should go listen to her music because it is like being trampled by an elephant and I know everyone wants to experience that. Her voice is not that bad but I am more confused then anything when I hear it. Terrible lyrics and yet I am sure the 10-16 year old girls will be all over this. The funniest thing that surely takes the cake is the fact that she is on the Ruff Ryders Vol 4 CD. With all those rap songs and explicit lyrics she is going to fit in like the Jews did with the Nazi's. I think I might envy the deaf on this one.

True Potential

What happens when it is one a.m. and you sign on facebook? You get poked by Gary FREAKIN AGIN! Now you may be wondering why I would be excited to be poked by a guy but there is a great reason for my excitement. Thanks to the clever and halarious Nathan Donajkowski Dr. Agin has made it on the facebook. First off the guy is about 80 and is nick-named the crypt keeper. We also have his extreme ability to suck. He teaches physics 2100 and 2200 and I use the teaches generously. He likes for kids to fail. He writes tests so the average is a 50% and then smiles and talks about how great it is for 10 min. Finishing it off with "I am not going to curve it" in a really annoying, evil villian voice. But now he is on the facebook for all to mock in joy. Acording to facebook his birthday was 2000 BC, making him a bit over 4000 years old. He currently resides in 103 fisher which is his office. There is a couch in there, must sleep on that. I am a big fan of his favorite qoute, "The electric.... field............. vectors" and yes...that is.....how........he.......says it. He has joined some funny groups too let me tell you. Including my personal favorite, "I want to kick Gary Agin square in the balls." Dr. Agin has been on facebook for less then a day and has already reached 59 friends. Obviously he is the most popular person in the school, student or teacher or lunch person. And yes he is my friend already. I will be sure to update his friend status at the end of the week. To see Dr. Agin in action visit his facebook or come to ph2200 at 12 MWF. Dr. Agin's facebook Lastly for all you who just can't see him I will leave you with this wonderfull picture of the man we all love to hate....Dr. Agin. Facebook for the win. Also everyone should add him as a friend, it would be sweet.
