How is this thing supposed to work?

Is this thing on? *tap tap tap*

Ok, hello blogosphere!

Celebrate Wonderful Weirdos Day. I like the whiteboard in the SUB where they write what day it is. I wouldn't be aware of most days-to-celebrate otherwise.

I was highly entertained to learn about flash mobbing yesterday. I was not highly entertained to learn that the laptops you check out from the SUB will only play DVDs for so long before they heat up and the DVD player app starts freezing.

Not cool.

So today is going to be interesting. First of all, I forgot to wear my purple shirt to work like we're all supposed to on Fridays. Second of all, this week better be better than last week for work or I'll be sadness. Third of all, I still have no music to Come Sail Away which we perform tomorrow. Drat x2.

fun thing of the while: reading licence plates as if they were all intentionally written in 1337. Ah... that was a good year for licence plates. 1337. Columbus sailed the Ocean's Eleven. 0r 50|\/|37h||\|9 1||<3 7h47.

Pardon my ultra-l33t.

Imagine this scene:
You are sitting waiting for a bus downtown in some large city. The bus stop is right in front of some large public building. Suddenly, and without any warning, approximately 200 people converge on the sidewalk and steps of the building. They each produce a Twinkie, hold it aloft and chant in unison, "Long live King Richard!" They then proceed to eat their respective creme-filled sponge cake confections while spinning in a circle, and then disperse without a word.

Well. What would you do? Would you still get on the bus and just go about your business as if nothing had happened? Regardless of how you think you would react, such an occurance is entirely possible. Things like this started happening a few years ago and are only increasing in frequency. Just hope that you're ready if and when a flash flood happens near you.

wikipedia quote of the day: "Gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such activity might seem amusing and surreal, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place."
