The eyes have it!

Hey band, what do you think of Billy? He's here and wanted me to ask you.

cool cool cool stuff of the day: ASIMO

Vote Yes for 3. That's my opinion. To condone is a form of support, which I don't.
[Note: Where it said No before has been changed to Yes. I accidently typed the wrong thing at like 11pm last night because my brain was off.] Fortunately, inclination does not equal lifestyle (this applies to many aspects of life). The latter is by choice. Everyone has different weaknesses. No one has to act on them.

Hip hip who ray for good times. If I work real hard, I won't be in trouble later on with my homework situation. What a great thought by Bro. Kent today. And 2x ice cream wasn't so bad either.

Andrew, I don't know if Cory invited you, but I'm going to invite you anyways. We're throwing a Spider Man (the first one) party at his house tomorrow night at 8.

More stuff later.

EUPHOREA indeed!

Okay, I think I officially can't make this work. I did exactly what you said and my links appeared on the sidebar when I previewed my changes, but after republishing, I still can't see my changes.

On a different note, I made my Star Wars work by returning it and getting a new copy that doesn't skip. YAY! Now I can watch without annoyance. In fact, I just watched the commentary on Ep. IV and not even one measly mention of John Williams' Oscar winning score!

I have been adding my reviews to my blog, so if you haven't checked it out yet, do it.




Okay, just an update rather than make a new post. I just came back and checked my blog and IT WORKED! I feel so smart and computery now. Thanks for the help Jon.

The Mush Of Frozen Oceans

What a wonderful weekend it was. There was much fun in the movie watching of both Friday and Saturday. And Sunday was awesome. So far, I picked 10 out of 13 games with one left to go tonight. I'd hoped to make up some groung on Andrew, but it looks like we mostly picked the same teams to win; that is unless we picked different on the Monday night game. Anyway, I'm boring out my mind here whilst the band is marching, so I'm gonna go for now.

Later, yo

And Stuff

So sorry to hear about the SWDVD woes, folks. Those who missed out on the hike today, well - missed out. We even saw a relative of Dave Cox's hat. And we almost died. I stood on top of I know not what mountain, but it was a neighbor to Mt. Ogden.

Looking forward to Thusly and backwards (with fond recollection) to Napoleon. You're right, Ben. It was hilarifunny. Surely one of the funniest I've seen. I should maybe get a "Vote for Pedro" shirt. That'd be cool.

Ok. Laters.

No! Help ME Obi-Wan!

Jason! My DVD skips right around the same area in the film. I was wondering if anyone elses copy does this as well and it would appear yours does. I guess I will just have to take mine back since I don't have a PS2. Arrrgggghhhhh. Why does technology have to fail me yet again?!

Thusly

Just an announcement for y'all. The next version of Thusly the Wonder Hampster's adventures will be in the band hall forthwith.

That French Empire Esplosives Unit Movie

It was AWESOME and by AWESOME, I mean hilarifunny. I haven't laughed so much at a movie in a long long time. All who have not seen it, must. And by must I mean really really should take the time to see it.

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi

...you're my only hope.

Yes, that is a quote directly from Ep. IV: A New Hope. In fact, to be more specific, it's a quote from the DVD version of the film, recently released. Note the higher, more crisp, digital quality of that quote.

Yeah, Kris and I got the DVD set last night and enjoyed Ep. IV. It did skip on us for a bit during chapter 28. However, then we just put it in a PS2 and it seemed to work fine. I'm hoping that the disc isn't damaged because I don't want to have to deal with the idiot who checked me out. Seriously, I stood at the checkout counter for no less than fifteen minutes waiting for this guy to finish typing my driver's license number into the computer (or whatever he was doing.) But anyhow, it is a great movie. Yes, one of the greatest of all time. I love Star Wars!

TTFN!

That is to say, Andrew, I sympathize deeply with your plight.

By the by, ibiblio.com has the coolest 404 I've seen yet, next to h*r.

Andrew, try moving your three links up a few lines so that they show up just above the p id = powered-by a href etc. etc. etc. That should put them just above the "I power blogger" button on your sidebar.

Again, best of luck.

Randomness:
Lone Peak's snare line is pretty clean. AF's line is pretty good too. Lunch was good as was band. Putting a "kick me" sign on Ben was great - haven't put one of those on a person since about gradeschool. Time for homework

I hate computer programing

Okay Jon, I just did what you said, but my links are on the bottom of my page and really small. What did I do wrong? I have no patience for these machines.

Wednesday, September 22, 2004

Just add H2ML

Thirsty for links, eh?

Click on the template tab at the top. Then scroll down until you find the text that says

< !-- If you'd like, you could place footer information here. -- >

Take that out (it's a comment) and insert the following

<|a href="http://whateveryouwanttolinkto.comraderie">Click This Text<|/a><|br>

Of course, here in the post it shows up as an actual link, so I had to insert | characters in each tag. Remove them before use, and of course put the right URL in and whatever text you want.

Enjoy.

STAR WARS, NOTHING BUT STAR WARS, NOTHING BUT STAR WARS, DA DA DE DOO

That's right, Star Wars finally arrived. I sat down to watch Ep. IV night of last and I was pretty amazed at the picture quality. I didn't think it was quite as pristine as the Indy DVDs, but very close. Unfortunatly, I think I may have to return my set since the first DVD likes to skip a lot. I just need to try it in another player to see if my suspicions are true. Now for the changes: Jabba looks pretty darn good, but I could still do with out seeing him altogether. A few of the close-ups containing lettering on the Death Star have been changed to the "Imperial Font" and the detention corridor has been lengthened. Also, the dianogga in the trash compacter scene has a brand new eyeball. The speeder entering Mos Eisley has been re-animated to look better. That's about all I can remember. The only bad change was the Han/Greedo "shoot out". It now looks even worse than it did in the 97 version. Han Solo looks like a rubber dummy as he "dodges" Greedo's shot. Just awful. I should get finished with Empire tonight and hopefully Jedi tomorrow.

Ben, I guess I wasn't too specific about what I meant. What I wanted to know was how to put links on the side of my blog. The ones that are permanently in the margin.

It has been too quite aroud here as of late. POST THINGS PEOPLE! It will be boring here if you don't.

They call me Dr. Worm

Its getting quite lonely in this blog area. I mean, where is everyone?
I'm glad the 'storm' has blown over. Phew.
I'm happy to have a little excitement in my life again. Nothing like a new @. Speaking of, I ran into an @ of spring semester and was bashed yet again. Sigh.
Ok. I'm signing off now, no really, the ASL sign for off, you should see me doing it right now.
Andrew, to put links on your blog, there should be, on the create new post page, a symbol that looks like the world with brackets on top of it. If you click on that button, you should able to add links like the ASL one I just did.

Later and au revoir

Monday, September 20, 2004

Sooooooooo.............

Okay, now I feel that I have missed something. Oh well.

Did you know that the Utes kicked the trash out of Utah State? Yeah, it was really cool. We are now ranked 14th in the nation. It is kind of exciting to go to a school that has a winning football team, you know what I am saying?

Anyway, I have a question for the most esteemed comuptery folks here: How do I put links on my blog? That would be some good stuff to know about.

Remember to buy your copy of the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD tomorrow.

Nothing.

Recognition and reconciliation

So, maybe I made things worse while trying to make things better. But all I was trying to do was avoid a situation that would cause much upsettedness, and whilest being stern in the doing, I thought that the only way, since we were stern after the football game in showing dislike to the happenings and that obviously didn't get the message across. If you think about me and the type of person I am, I never mean to hurt anybody. I just know Jon's concerns and was trying to avoid the outcome he feared. So, in short, I apologize for hurted feelings that I may have caused and wish the whole thing never wouldst have happened. I hope that this blemish on any friendship I may have caused can be forgotten.

Howard Shore......

........will NOT be conducting the LOTR concert.

Exhibit A: http://www.howardshore.com/

Exhibit 2: http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/8/1094082932

Exhibit &: http://www.utahsymphony.org/news_detail.cfm?id=91

"A" says that Shore will not be conducting most of these events, "2" actually gives the name of the person who will be conducting, and "&", while it does say that Shore will be conducting, it is dated April 22. Plans change, so sorry to burst your bubble. I guess if Shore is there on the evening(s) of the concert(s), I will just have to eat crow(s).

Three ways to Cross a River

Bach, Fiend -- Bach!
Mind you, that's J.S. Bach.

Anyway,
To the main point and purpose of my post today (this fine Frey's Day):

September the 25th is Yom Kippur, or Jewish New Year. As luck would have it, that day also marks the 19th anniversary of my birth. So I will be having festivities of appropriate grandeur.

You will notice that my previous post on this topic is gone. There's a reason for that. (It was incorrect.)

So the plan is this:
At 7 am or thereabouts that day, anyone interested should meet at the lower W lot of the Browning Center, and follow me to the Trailhead at snowbasin, from whence we will ascend Mount Ogden. The hike is 4 miles each direction, not too bad. Approximately five hours. I recommend bringing at least half-a-gallon of water, and some lunch to eat at the summit. Upon completing the descent, everyone who partcipated will recieve as my treat a Mt. Ogden cone at Farr's Ice Cream.
Thus for the first half.

At 2 pm, all are welcome to gather at my house, to which I will not post directions but rather send maps via email. Activities will be pursued: amusing games, a very funny movie that everyone who knows me should see("uncorked"), and so forth. Jinglesþula will also be shown(the first one, that is). There will be Food of Many Normal and Odd Sorts. I intend to finish fairly early, around 6 pm or so; I'm just like that. Sundown is a good time to end the day, especially after climbing a mountain.

I'd love to be let know if any of y'all is interested. Post here or email me at
arthurwheatley-at-mail-dot-weber-dot-edu. Please include your email address so I can send you a map.

The title of my post references last month's Highlights for Children Magazine, where one of the questions in the Headwork section was, "Name three ways to cross a river." Sounds like Zen. Sounds like a plot abstraction of the book "Siddartha."

"What is sweeter -- a raisin or an olive?"

Keen, Andrew

I'll definietly link 'er up here. I'll have to surf on over there also to have a look-see. And speaking of surfing, did y'all know that the Silver Surfer was rated the most powerful superhero ever? Superman was only third, I think. Can't remember who came in second.

I'm just enjoying life. We played through our show music a couple times at our sectional this evening and it's coming right along. Terminal server is awesome. $14,000 licence for Rational Rose, and now I can access WSU's copy legitimately for absolutely (well, I did pay tuition - no, wait, I didn't) free. Ricky had the best idea for what to do at work on April Fools day. You'll all just have to stop by up here at the Lampros on that date to find out what it will be. And yes, the Utah Symphony's website does confirm that Shore will indeed be conducting in person. You just have to dig a bit to find where it says it.

Time to learn more about threads and processes. Isn't learning about OSs so much fun? Everybody say, "No." But playing with a laser pointer in web design is. Good $2 lunch today. Only 3 more to go. Then it's free dollar lunch.

Do you ever just have a happy thought that you keep with you and whenever you think about it it makes you feel like you are flying? Peter Pan does. That is how he flies.

Think of a wonderful though
Any merry little though
Think of Christmas, think of snow
Think of sleigh bells off you go
Like reindeer in the sky

You can fly! You can fly!
You can fly!

Think of the happiest things
It's the same as having wings
Take the path that moonbeams make
If the moon is still awake
You'll see him wink his eye

You can fly! You can fly!
You can fly!

Up you go with a heigh and ho
To the stars beyond the blue
There's a Neverland waiting for you
Where all your happy dreams come true
Every dreams that you dream will come true

When there's a smile in your heart
There's no better time to start
Think of all the joy you'll find
When you leave the world behind
And bid your cares good-bye

You can fly! You can fly!
You can fly!


Of course, he also has the help of magic dust from his friend, Tink.

Moor later.

Outgoing

Why hello kiddies! I hope you are all fantastic. I don't have much anything to say today so I will tell a story instead:

The wind was howling as the rain pounded on the roof. I sat in my rocking chair staring into the bright orange of the fire blazing before me in my hearth. That is when I said, "Owww, now I can't see anything. I guess I should look at something else besides the fire."

I hope you enjoyed my story.

PS- Jon, I just started my owb blog and thought you may want to link it to this page. The URL is:

Insert your title here----->

Okay, this may not be a Star Wars update, but it is a movie update:

http://www.kongisking.net/index.shtml

Copy and paste this link for something really awesome! It is the fan web page for Peter Jackson's King Kong remake! There are quicktime movies on the right side of the page that you can watch that star PETER JACKSON taking you on a tour through the making of King Kong! How kewel is that?

Mithrandio's! That was hillarifunny Jonderson! (or is it Jondersen?)

We need more peeple to join us for NFL (nose) pick 'em. Please give me e-mail numbers and I will send you a magical invite. Please please please please please please come and have fun picking with me and Ben. It is lonely with just the two of us picking. You don't even have to know any football type stuff to pick. Besides, there's a cool message board there for you to post really cool messages on for really cool people to read.......really...................cool..........................................ly.

By the by, here is another really cool link for your viewing enjoyment:

http://www.movie-list.com/s/sin-city.html

it is some footage for a new movie called "Sin City" and it looks really cool.

http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hp&cf=prev&id=1808560209

The above URL will link you to a page that tells you what "Sin City" is about.

Event of the day: reading Jon's blog
Movie of the day: Charlie Chaplin shorts

Oh, but they do.

I just didn't get it until you explained it. I haven't seen Live and Let Die, so I wasn't in the know. Your news of the changes to the SW OT DVD set not being as drastic as at first they seemed that they might be is comforting. But I'll still watch them all before I decided whether or not to purchase them. And when I say decide to purchase them I mean at some undetermined date in the future when I'm more into buying DVDs and movies. Right now, almost without exception, all the DVDs and movies I own are either of bands I've been in, or I own them as a direct result of being in band. I don't exactly buy a lot of media. But soon I will be buying some RS&RB, Gas House Gang, and Fairfield Four. Not video, but definitely worth the $$$.

I ate at Mithrandiro's again today: N.Y. Ranger. Pretty good, I thought. And I also spent a bit of time practicing Birdhouse. That B chord is still a bit tricky and the G#m eludes me yet. Still, it'll be the fun.

After band I picked up my text for CS3100. What a brick-o-knowledge. Now I just have to try to fit it in my brain through my eyes. I also picked up some supplies for practicing sketching. And yesterday I copied some piano sheet music so I can practice it here at school when I have "spare" time without having to lug the whole book around.

Sad, sad news. Not going to get to use the new marching band unis. At least this season. I'm still debating whether or not to do Marching band next year. It'll be my last year, and it's been great fun. But it does take a lot of time. I'm probably going to be staffing for the combined Weber/Roy/Ogden high school winterline this year. Cory and Billy and Diego and myself are arranging the music, but what the show is will be a secret until tryouts.

Well, time to do a bit of home"work" for my web design class.

percussion ensemble piece of the day: Stained Glass (reminiscences are great, arent' they?)

song of the day: I'm a Believer by the Mattkeys (had to be there)

event of the day: driving on I-15 (what fun)

Ok, vi ses. (We are seen)

Why do my titles not amuse you?

Well, here is my daily Star Wars update. Just copy and paste this link (as it appears I can't add clickable links to my blogs from my Mac computer):

http://www.thedigitalbits.com/reviews3/starwarschanges.html

for screenshots of most of the major changes in the 2004 Special Special editions of each film. I think the new Jabba looks AWESOME! On the other hand, while I like the emperor better now, he still doesn't quite look like himself in these screen captures. I think this is still going to be a good DVD to pick up.

On the title of my last post, Jon: It is a quote from Live and Let Die which I happened to be watching at the time of my last posting. It was Roger Moore's first go as 007 and the line was spoken by the character Felix Leiter (the CIA dude that always helps out Bond). I thought it was really funny, so I used it as my title.

Bye for now

PS-You don't have to be knowledgeable about sport type things to play "NFL PICK 'EM". Just pick your favorite mascot if nothing else. There is a message board over there and other neat stuff so if you don't want to pick, you could always just post.

Don't forget to remember

Three years ago, everything changed. If we forget, then it will end up being a change for the worse. If we remember, then we can effect change for the better.

In tribute to those who lost their lives, to those who have given their lives in the war on terror, and in tribute to those in the armed forces who put everything on the line for our freedom. God bless our country and its leaders.

Ben, about your post: that was terrible. Terribly funny, that is. Here's another terribly funny, quoted from Jason's earlier quote of the thinkgeek quotes page:
People are like slinkys. They're worthless, and fun to push down stairs.

Ok, well, that's not true, but it is funny.

Andrew, I quite didn't understand the title of your last post. I'm not with football and wouldn't know anything about who to pick, so I will politely decline. It does sound like fun, I just amn't knowledgeable enough about it to do any good at it.

lyric of the day: Although I like you anyway check out your haircut.

momentarily scary followed by quite hilarious thing of the yesterday: BG saying, "And what are you - a sheep?"

food of the day: tangerine jell-o

favorite thing about living in Utah of the time: it's a desert


Peace

I like to eat runts

and by runts, I mean the candy, not kittens.

I don't really have anything to say.

I'm going now.

Put out an APB on a white pimp-mobile.

I just re-sent you an invite, Ben. If it doesn't work, you will have to remind me of your other, better e-mail. If anyone else also wants to join up for great NFL (nose) pickin' fun, just let me know and leave me your e-mail adds.

On the the other hand, I'm getting waaaay excited for the Star Wars DVDs. They only changed a few things, and they are all good things to change (except for one). The picture quality is supposed to be awesome. Lowery Digital spent six painstaking months cleaning up the original prints and converting them to digital files. This means they still retain the look of the original filmstock, but are now stored on a hard drive, not in a tin canister. If you are interested in the changes, the ones I can remember hearing about are:

Episode IV
Jabba from the SE is replaced by a better, but still crappy CG Jabba
Han and Greedo fire on each other simultainiously

Episode V
Temurra Morrison (Jango Fett) re-recorded all of Bobba's dialogue
The crappy Emperor is replaced by Ian McDiarmand (the Emperor from I, II, III, and VI)
The dialogue in said Emperor scene is somewhat different

Episode VI
Naboo is included in the final celebration
In said celebration, the Jedi Temple and the Senate buildings are visible on Coruscant
Here's the biggest change-Hayden Christiensen appears as a spirit along with Yoda and Obi-Wan at the end, replacing Sebastian Shaw who played Anakin before. Shaw still appears as Anakin in the scene where Luke removes the helmet, but they digitally removed Shaw's eyebrows and matched his eyes to Hayden's eye color.


So, it appears that all of the things added will be good. I think Anakin was replaced be cause Obi-Wan tells Luke that Vader killed his father. Therefore, Anakin died when he became Vader. Also making me salavate, the awesome documentary. This sucker is about 3 hours long and chronicles in detail, the making of all three films, plus there are about five or so mini documentaries about other various facets of the making of each film. Be sure to pick up your copy on the 21st.

Bye for now.

Resendation

Andrew, resend that invite. I either didn't get it or it ended up in my junk mail file and got deleted. I'll be watching both very closely for the next little while; that and your link doesn't allow me into the group.

Experimental Post

This post is a collaborative effort of Jingles the Pira... nevermind. Jon and Ben. I type a word, then Ben types a word. Starting....


Now.

Relatively good bananas are surprisingly efficient at once conducting the ordered heirarchy of binary society. Since time goes bump in the night, I can't dig potatoes after monsoon residue coagulates over Miami. Starting lineup changes every season: fall, thyme, reason, youth, crates, and, historically, puppies, films, can, freight, X-Box, or police will discombobulate passers-by. Unfortunately, strichnyne, vinegar, or compost develops mosquitoe powers. Infestations of large albino's bananas - otherwise known - remain undetected for weeks.

So far, this is going rather... um...... well...... We'll see how it goes. Expect an edit on this post when we get the time and whim.

tJuice.

Everybody!^2

Hey all! We're working on getting the pics scanned in and then on the web. I still need to get the pics from my bro's digicam, but when I do I'll post them. I may bring the pics by the band hall sometime, since it will likely be a while before they get on the net. In the meantime, here are some other pics from my wedding - http://jason.pronethost.com/images/previews/default.htm

Tuesday, September 07, 2004

Everybody!^2

Reception Pictures, eh? I can get my brother's pictures from his digicam up soon, but the rest (and there's a whole lot of them) I still need to scan in. We do have some pics up, not of the reception, though - jason.pronethost.com/images/previews/default.htm Maybe I'll bring them by the band hall some time if you'd like.

Everytime that I look at myself, I can't believe how awesome I am!!!

Jon! You make me laugh so. I'm just glad my roommate wasn't around when I was reading your post, or I would have had to explain what was so funny.

Jason, you do need to get us a phone number. How do you expect us to haras...er, say a friendly hello?

Ben, I didn't pick the Cowgirls to spite you or my roommate. I picked them because of Testaverde and George. And do you really think the Jags will win away from home? I don't think they have gotten over the mediocrity of last season yet. My roommate had the cajones to pick against the Saints at home. I don't care what the team is, the Saints almost NEVER loose at home. He's also picking the mediocrity of Green Bay to win on Monday. Ughhh......

Well, the hour grows late. I will be going. Thanks for wasting you time by reading this.

O:15 Minutes

That's right: it's an "O" not a "0" and don't you forget it.

Ben, you make me laugh. Sooperbole?

Andrew, how is your roommate(s)? Sounds like you may not agree on sports teams. Hopefully you two get along though. Otherwise he'll be all after you with those shark teeth of his. You'll wake up one night and he'll be standing over your bed with them maaco jaws-o-death aimed straight at your face, and all you'll have time to think is, "Guess I shouldn't've told him his team was looser." :)

Just kidding. I hope school goes well for you.

And Jason. Jason! How is everything going for you and the new bride? Email me your phone # so I can prank ca... I mean just call you. And your address so I can crash your parties that I know you throw there. I mean, I don't.. I won't even... it never even crossed my mind to... I'm cool. Yeah.

Firefox ruminates errors. IE is unsafe. Maybe I'll just have to try Opera or Safari. Dunno.

Time to see if I can snag some tunes for a show.

birthday of the day: happy 6th, Google.

'kay, bye.

Pix

OK, so, here goes my picks. In all actuality, there's only one game that Andrew and I have differing opinions, and that is the Minnesota/Dallas game. Andrew has picked the Cowgirls over his roommates favorite team just to spite mostly his roommate and partly me, because I like the Vikings. So, I pick Minnesota for that one. Just in case I missed another one, here are the first week's pick of winners:
Indianapolis
St. Louis
Baltimore
Cincinnati
Jacksonville (oh, yeah, the other different pick!)
Pittsburgh
Houston
New Orleans
Washington
Tennessee
Atlanta
Denver
Philadelphia
Carolina

As for that Jacksonville game, Bledsoe will have a good game, I think for the Bills, but going with my gut first instinct, I think the Jags will jump up and snag the first game and surprise everyone before disappearing into mediacrity later in the season. I hate that the Seahawks got pitted against the really good looking Saints this week. Hasslebeck will lead Seattle to another playoff berth this year. The Thursday game will be phenomenal, Colts vs (defending sooperbole champions) Patriots. Cincinnate should look to capitalize on a good season last year and take the fading Jets out this week. Also, even though the Eagles peaked in the middle of last season and are still declining, they are enough to take out a Giants team that is headed by Kurt Warner and backed up by Peyton Manning. Manning will be a good quarterback like his brother in Indianapolis, but not this year. Ok, I'm all NFL'd out for now, take care yo and later.

Monday, September 06, 2004

Everybody! x 2

Jason! When will you get your recepiton photos up for all to see? I've been dying to see how they turned out.

Okay. Ben and I have a running competition from last year. Those of you who also want to get involved, feel free to. Every NFL season, we try to predict who will win the games every week. The person who gets the most games correct for the week is the winner. This year, we want to keep a more complete record so we can compare the entire season. Here are my picks for this week (Thursday the 9th, Sunday the 12th, and Monday the 13th)


Thursday
Indiana over New England (at NE)


Sunday
St. Louis over Arizona (at SL)
Cincinati over Jets (at Jets)

Ben! Now you have me all worried! Give me a call or get on messenger sometime (it seems like no one is on messenger anymore).

I only have trivial things to write about today. There are several good dvd's coming out in the next few months:
George Lucas releases a "directors cut" of his very first film THX 1138 on Sep. 14.
Lucas also releases the special special editions of Star Wars on Sep. 21
Van Helsing wasn't the best movie, but it has a real cool Special Edition out on Oct. 19
Shrek 2 is out on Nov. 2
Seinfeld finally comes to DVD on Nov. 23 starting with the first 3 seasons
The Matrix has an INCREDIBLE looking TEN DISC set arriving Dec. 7
The Return of the King Extended Edition is supposed to be out on Dec. 7 as well
Batman the Animated Series vol. 2 also comes out on Dec. 7

Check out: http://www.joblo.com/dvd/releasedates.htm for more info on all these releases as well as others.

well, thats all for now. have a frank and productive day.

A journey down the road of Uinvadoon

Well, I'm doing ok as far as things go. If ya wanna hear more, some of you can't cuz you're not intitled to that information and others of you can ask. As far as snickering at the marching band, I'll be going to the football game tonight to do just that! Its a no happy saturday day for Ben, for all of yous who were wondering. Maybe I miscalculated and maybe I just plain messed up. Only time will tell, I guess. School is cool by me, if'n ya didn't know. I like most of all of my classeseses and should do well in them this semester. And I'm going now. Have a great weekend, y'all and totally see ya later.

P.S. Uinvadoon is my new road.

Cheese is good for you

Well, I suppose I shall post some sophmoric material here in lieu of Jon doing it.


Okay, maybe not. So, I got my computer. It is very computery. It has many keys and buttons. I don't know what all the buttons do. It is very white and shiny. It has a big apple on the top. It has cool Indy wallpaper on the desktop. I don't know what else to put.

HA HA HA HA HA. I laugh at all of you suckers who are in marching band. I saw the U marching band practicing on the practice field yesterday and just snickerd as I walked by. I just couldn't help myself. there is something vewy vewy funny about mawching band.

Jason, have you gotten your wedding pictures back yet? Please post a few online for all to see. That is, if you have them back yet.

I hate online home work. My entire Spanish class homework is online. The connection is never fast enough to be able to download it and finish it, so I end up surfing the net and wasiting time.

I went over to Homestar yesterday and discovered a really fun game called "Peasants Quest". You are Rather Dashing, a peasant who's hut has been buninated by Trogdor and you swear to get revenge. It is very difficult, but you can't stop playing it (I gave in and found a walkthrough to complete my quest with hillarious results).

What more can I say? Oh, I really don't like working at the Sears down here. This Sears store here sucks. I am looking for more gainful employment currently, so I should only have to deal with it for another short while.

Well, have a great day and remember to eat your cheese! Oh, and you have to tell me what was funny that Ben said.

The Days Are Just Packed

Stuff.

Arranged a bit of pit parts for the show today with Daigo. And Ben told me just about the funniest thing I've heard in a great long while. At first I was mortified, but then I just laughed and relized how funny it all was. Ben also joined Sarah W. and I for an institute class today. And tomorrow the institute is serving up tasty (and by tasty I mean free) lunch. We learned how to ftp in to osiris and access loki in CS3350 today. My web sight is truly rudimenterrible. I'll have to change it soon.

If nobody else posts here soon, I'll be forced to write sophorific materiel here until the blog lyses into a puddle of jumbled ones and ohs. Or oohs and aahs, if it happens to make a nice pattern when it finally congeals.

And always remember, choosy moms choose Jif.
