This is an ad that i think is done very well... kinda freaky as well. If you watch ESPN I am sure you have already seen it, but since I stumbled upon it I figured I might as well link it.

We need more books like this nowadays.

Oh, it's one of those things... it's so stupid you have to do it... Thats a time when Michelle would prob be here, so why not...
Now if everyone in the world jumped at the same time wouldn't that cancel out all the forces?

Beasley to play for new football team
Wichita Eagle (article)
I said i would not watch another Koyotes game until they had a chance to lose a game...
Since the af2 Wichita Stealth folded, the new APFL Wichita Aviators are picking up most of their talent... which means they got K-State QB Beasley...
The Koyotes could lose a game... for the first time ever...

This would be so cool to do. I read elsewhere that it is about $1800 to do a week long chase, it would be close to worth it.
Since I am taking this summer off i think i will do some of my own storm chasing... that sounds dangerously fun. ^_^

Yesterday newgen got here around 5, we ate at Famous Dave's, which had an hour wait, then the service was bad, they got wrong orders, i didn't get mine for a long time (again...), then they told nicole that the salad that she got had pulled pork on it when we all knew that it was chicken. (The ticket had BBQ chicken salad on it, when nicole ordered pulled pork salad). All in all Famous Dave's is not a good place to eat, the have good sauce, but if you want BBQ goto Cox. (Cox is local anyway). So after dinner we went over to play PlayStation at Aaron's. We played some Gran Turismo 4, which is a very good game. Then we played Newgen's Katamari, which is a crazy game where you roll things up into a ball to make stars... no really it makes that much sense... it is very fun ^_^. After that Newgen Aaron and I played the new NHL Hitz game until 5 in the morning, fun times.
Today we got up around noon, and we went to go eat at Chili's before Newgen left to go home. It was nice to eat at a place with good service. We got back home around three and ever since then Ive been watching Arena Football and working on Rhonda's paper.
I think i need more tea...

The Bread Hunter
:D Sorry i didn't post yesterday, it was kinda full, of just stuff, nothing really anything of note....
Anyways Thursday ended up fine, the girl whosewallet i found stopped by, then my student stopped by for help and we worked on stuff for a couple of hours, after that me nicole and jentte went to cox to eat a bunch of appetizersfor dinner. When we got home we just crashed. Yesterday also went fine... Nicole didn't have school so she took me to class in the morning, after class we had our GTA meeting, then i had help lab, which went by fast since one of my students stopped by to get caughtup (she missed the first couple of class periods, so she had some missing work). Then i went to go get my eyes dilatedand get my contacts ordered. Let me tell you, when your eyes are dilated the sun is very very bright... After the appointmentnicole and i went out to Quizno's, then we came home and asked if anybody wanted to play disc golf... after a while everyone (me, cole, chris, jenette, and aaron) decided togo. So we got out there about 5, so it was sort of late, but we still got 16 of the 18 holes in. It took awhile for me to get used to throwing my distance driver, but after while i got the hang of it again, also i think my putting got better, but my approach isn't as awesome as it used to be, oh yeah, and i am still good at pegging trees. ^_^
Well, after disc golf nicole fixed the turkey we had marinating, but when it was done we werent hungry, so she just cut it up and put it in the fridge. And we went to bed...
Today I slept until 12, which is about the time right now.. so i havent done anything yet. We are about ready to get some bread to make some sandwiches with the turkey we cooked last night. The rest of the day's activities depend on what newgen wants to do, since he is gonna come down after he gets done with work. fun.
ok i'm gonna go hunt down some bread now.

mmm... food
This morning I woke up in a pretty bad mood. The reason being, yesterday was very stressful and busy, and then today when i woke up i just thought about all the stupid little things i had to do that i didn't want to do. (the main thing is meeting with a student tonight at 6.30, that’s just a real bad time...) Anyways when i got to my office (around 7.30) i really was grumbly so i just went to sleep. I woke up around 9.20 and i felt *much* better. It was about time for class to start so I walked on over to class. Class went pretty fast, which is good since it is a long Tues./Thursday class. Afterwards i talked to lance for a bit about college conferences, more specifically how the Big XII should kick out Baylor, and add a new school. The school I would add is CSU, Lance wanted to add Arkansas. Eh, it's fun to talk about. Also we talked about how Rothelsburger wasn't really that good, he just didn't make mistakes.
Anywho, Lance went to get some lunch, and so i played on the net for a bit then headed on over to Chipotle to eat some chicken tacos. On the way over i found a wallet that somebody had dropped, so when i got done eating i came back over to my office and called her, she wasn't there, but her roommate was, so she is suppost to call me back. Then nicole called to see if i wanted to get something to eat, but since i had just got back from lunch i declined. :(
Oh well, i got about 50min. until my 320 class starts, so i think i'm goona look over the homework for 720 that is due next Thursday.
thats the ticket.
Maybe there will be some necromunda tonight in the apartment….

3Blogs
Just because i can... i have decided to go to 3 random blogs a day and read them and post to at least one comment. So here are the blogs I went to today:
Emily's Blog
History Hounds
strange happenings of thegirl.
It is fun going around reading blogs with the intention of commenting on them. Try it some time, i recommend during an easy morning while drinking a large mug of green tea...
in other news: Today is gonna be very busy, i have to leave for class in a couple of minutes, afterwards i need to get ready for my night class, which takes about an hour, then i'm gonna come home eat some lunch and grade some papers... so it's like this day over again.

Canon PowerShot A95 digital camera
Digital Photography Review (site)
If i were to buy a camera right now, i would go with this one. I am impressed with the A75 that Rhonda bought, and this site reviewed the A95 it very well. The street price is listed at $315 so that is $85 under the top price i would be willing to spend. If you have any comments about what camera to get, don’t be afraid to drop me a comment.
Also, if you are looking at getting a digital camera, check this site out before you buy anything. They do very good digital camera reviews.

Amazon Honor System
Amazon Honor System (site)
Well my birthday is coming up, and one of the things i want is a digital camera that i can take around with me. The main reason i want it is because i want to post more pics of my life here, but my current digital camera is too big to carry with me. So i was looking around at cameras and i think it'll be around 400 to get a good, small, snazzy camera. So i thought, hey, it's for my blog maybe i could get some help.
So if you click on the link on the right sidebar (the Amazon one), it'll take you to a donation page, the minimum donation is a buck (i wanted it to be $.50 but they wouldn't let me... :( )
Anyways, don't feel pressured to donate, 'specially if you don't have money. But if you do enjoy my blog give a buck so that i can get some better (and more) pics up.
In any case, thanks for reading my blog (I've been getting about 15 unique visitors a day!!! ^_^ ). And if i can get 3000 people a day, and get them all to give me a buck a month I can live my quiet life, enjoying random things, without having to waste time working... *sigh* stupid real life...

Last call for Rebels gear.
I think i am gonna change the products in my CafePress store, so if you want Rebels Championship stuff, get it soon.
Since the last update: Class went fine. BW3 went finer. It was; me, Nicole, aaron, amber, Jenette,and lance for the trivia. Jenette pulled out a crushing win in the mini six, and amber came from behind on the last question to winthe Showdown. Fun times were had by all. After that nicole and i headed out to walsmart to pick up some stuff, the funnest thing i got was a storage box for my tv cords and stuff. Joy.

Fun with new toys.
For the past day or so my new 200 CD changer (on loan from the Newgen factor) would make noise. Since it is new i figured it's just something that it does, i did notice today that it was making noise about every hour, but i could not think of a reason why it would do this. If it was a computer i figured it was just spinning up the HD or checking for updates on the internet. But the CD changer is not this sophisticated. So after eating lunch i figured i wanted to listen to some music, ad i turn on the receiver, and the Cantina song starts playing... (grumble, grumble).. i had left the CD player playing ever since the post 'This is your favorite blog'...
It prob. needs a rest soon.
oh yeah, i know why the CD changer makes noises about once an hour now...
And to come full circle from when I started using to the changer Favorite Song by ABJ is now playing. ^_^

But how can i win if i didn't play?
OK a rundown of yesterday and today so far.
Yesterday: Drove nicole to school, came home, went to class, went to BW3 with aaron and amber (i won trivia twice, got a local high score and placed around 100th in the nation, forthe last game), then i went to dillions, then gave exam 2 tomy night class, went to hockey (which went fairly good), then grabbed some J or the J for a bite to eat before bed.
Today i got up ate some oatmeal, went to class, pondered tic-tac-toe strategies, walked home and i am now catching up on some good ol' fashioned computer time. The rest of the day looks straight forward: Eat lunch, teach 320, BW3 for dinner, and win $22 million dollars. Looks like today is gonna be a good day.

This is a very good video documentary about copyright laws with sampling (using clips of other songs in your own song).
There are two things that i do not like in our current capitalist society. 1 is the stock market. 2 is over zealous copyright laws.

This article is a good summarization of what has gone on in the world as we have fought for Iraq's freedom.

This article is a good summarization of what has gone on in the world as we have fought for Iraq's freedom.
When America--having smashed Iraq's 40-year-old Baathist tyranny and captured its blood-soaked leader, Saddam Hussein--promised to hold democratic elections with all deliberate speed so that Iraqis could decide their own future, the hope and expectation was that democratic nations and peoples the world over would come and help. But that did not happen. With the notable exceptions of Australia, Poland and Britain (whose prime minister, Tony Blair, has taken huge political risks to back America 100%), most other democratic nations have looked the other way.
The whole article is worth a read.

Yesterday was a nice day of necromunda, nascar, panera and church. yea weekend!
Today i got up early and drove nicole to Junction so that i have a car to go to hockey in. It was a very nice drive since it was so nice and cloudy/misty out. Oh yeah, i also had some good tea from Panera because we picked up some food on the way out of town.

8 and ready to go get em.
Yesterday was a nice day. We got up around 11.30 (it was nice to sleep in for once). We went to go eat lunch at panera. After that Jenette, chris, and aaron came over to play necromunda (the start of the Tempus campaign). We played until around 9.00, then we went to go eat at Chipotle, there we saw a guy from michelle's band and sarah foster. After dinner nicole and I came home and played a couple of more battles, we made it to bed by one. And now we are up at 8.
Hopefully today will also be a good day.

Tree for Winter
storyabout.net (flash)
While digging around storyabout.net I found this flash. It would be a great thing to have as a video art piece. Now i just need a picture frame video screen hanging on my wall...
Constantine reviewed, by me.
I just got back from the movie Constantine. It is pretty good. They did a good job of mixing Christianity, Catholicism, and mythology into a very interesting mesh of storyline. Keanu Reeves does pretty good of getting out of his normal, 'woah....', character, and plays a pretty convincing exorcist. The graphics were great and they story made since.... the only thing i would change would be to not include the guy sniffling through the whole movie behind me...
Also stay through the credits, cause there is a clip afterwards.
Over all, this is a pretty good movie, and i would not be opposed to go see it again during a matinee to look for symbolism.
another thing: There was a very heavy anti-smoking message during the movie, it was pretty good. (Not out-of-place like Star Wars'.)
In other news: My day went fine, i went to class, then we worked on finalizing the 330_320 Exam 1. During help lab i got my night class' exam 2 wrote. After that i came home, helped rhonda with her paper some. Nicole got home, we (me cole jenette chris and aaron) went to eat at So Long, then we (san nicole) went to the movie. So a nice friday.
Let's roam the internet, shall we?

Smoking ban exiles smokers, prohibits a legal activity in public
Update 11.06.08 - I have a new post about this here. Be sure to check it out, basically we lost our freedom (not that I smoke) based on misusing studies.
Update 11.04.08 - It looks like they are at it again, please do not vote for a smoking ban in Manhattan. It is setting a president to ban things that we find "harmful" (the research on second hand smoke has both been faked and inconclusive) next up will be banning fat in Manhattan if this passes.

Kansas State Collegian (article)
I don't know what it is but there has been some better articles in the collegian lately.
Today they ran a for and agianst column for a ban on public smoking. Both sides presents the common ideas that go with their resons. And obvioussly (^_^) the argument against is a better one.
Here is the link to the article for a ban on smoking.
(Above is the link for the article against the ban.)

my day so far:
i got to school early this morning (around 7) and got to work on my homeworkthat was due at 9.30. I was able to get it done no problem. I went to 722, which went by fairly fast, it helps that the topics in the class are somewhat interesting. After class, i graded some papers and started work on writing the second exam for my night class. While writing the test i got a hankerin for some pizza and rememberedthat pizza hut had their buffet going. A quick message over to jenette and chris and we were there by 12. After stuffing myself, i got a ride to the optometrists and had my first eye doctor appointment in 4years. I got a new prescriptionand some new contacts (fancy). I got done over there at 3.15, just in time to walk on over to school and teach my class. Teaching went fine, because my Tue/Thurs class is a good group. After class i headed back to my office and talk to lance for a bit, then i came home.
So, all in all, not too bad of a day. Now on to funner things... like tea.

After class, i graded some papers and started work on writing the second exam for my night class. While writing the test i got a hankerin for some pizza and rememberedthat pizza hut had their buffet going. A quick message over to jenette and chris and we were there by 12. After stuffing myself, i got a ride to the optometrists and had my first eye doctor appointment in 4years. I got a new prescriptionand some new contacts (fancy). I got done over there at 3.15, just in time to walk on over to school and teach my class. Teaching went fine, because my Tue/Thurs class is a good group. After class i headed back to my office and talk to lance for a bit, then i came home.
So, all in all, not too bad of a day. Now on to funner things... like tea.
Violence in sports is as old as the games themselves
Kansas State Collegian (article)
How do you know why someone doesn't 'get' football?
"If the Super Bowl wasn’t so hyped and popular, nothing in the world would prompt me to spend an entire evening watching a bunch of men mindlessly crashing into each other – nothing."
Football is way more than a bunch of men mindlessly crashing into each other. Football is possibly one of the most elegant sports there is. I think people that don't like football haven’t paid enough attention to get it yet.
But otherwise this article is fairly good.

Two guys are walking down the street when a mugger approaches them and demands their money. They both grudgingly pull out their wallets and begin taking out their cash. Just then one guy turns to the other and hands him a bill. "Here’s that $20 I owe you," he says.
oh it's some pretty funny stuff...

That was totally a yes
So the rest of my day you ask? Here's the low down:
Teaching went fine, and we ended up getting out about 30min early. After that jenette picked me up and we went to go watch lance and the stat crew play intramural basketball. Lane and Robert didn't play, which the team says are theirbest players, and so we lost our game. Oh well, that gives the stat team a 2-1 record, not too bad for a bunch of nerds. :)
After that, jenette and i went over to BW3, aaron and amber were already there and in not too long lance and nicole showed up. nicole won the mini-six trivia game, and aaron got a location high score in the showdown (5th (?) highest score at our BW3 ever, and placed a little under 500th in the nation for the game), pretty good i say.
After BW3, i came home, put in the move 'Code Hunter', and played around with some Necromunda stuff.
Code Hunter, is a B-movie made in 2003, when some guys said, hey lets do the Matrix, but with less story and hardly any special effects. So it goes without saying that the movie was great. No really... for some reason i have started to really enjoy watching bad Sci-Fi movies. Not bad like Starship Troopers2, where it's just a bunch of shooting and crap, but bad like Johnny Pneumonic, where the ideas are there, they just didn't have the money and the script to make it happen.
Eh... Next on my list of bad sci-fi movies to watch is Mars.

Bubbler is a new blogging program. So, me being the person that likes to try new things, made a new blog over there. It is very snazzy and if i already didn't have a Blogger blog, i would prob. Go with Bubbler. But alas, I am sticking with Blogger. One very nifty feature is that you can post songs and stream them (d/l as well?). So, that is what my blog over there is going to be... I will post songs that I like and that you should listen to.
First up is Thorn by Bain Mattox, that song is defiantly worth checking out.
if you are still using lame blogging sites check Bubbler out, it is a winner. (Blogger is good as well ^_^ )
p.s. you know you got into a new blog early when you can get the site addy: bubbler.net/music

If you take pics for your blog or for personal use, you should have a read through of this.
The main points:
You are allowed to take pictures of anything as long as you are in a public place.
Owners of private property can ask you to not take pictures, and you must stop, if you are on their property.
No one is allowed to take your film/camera accept a police officer with a warrant, or if you are getting arrested.
Really the only way someone can legally stop you from taking pictures in public places is a police officer, and in most cases he needs a warrant.
It's good to know your rights.

Can This Black Box See Into the Future?
RedNova News (article)
about a year ago i listened to a Coast to Coast show in which a guy produced random numbers to predict major earth events... well the idea has resurfaced again, and this time it looks like it is getting major attention. Here is an article about it.
If this does get some major media attention i think the big winner will be George Noory because he talked about this so long ago. Another plus for Coast to Coast is that this shows that their guests are real, and do have some credit behind their work.
If you haven’t listened to it, check out Coast to Coast.

Here is the full story. It is pretty interesting.
Now here's a question. Is he crazy, or does he have a better way of doing things. Like should five be thought of as 5 or as a clap of thunder? Obviously his way is better because he can do complex math like we can do simple adding. But does it work just because he is crazy? It would be very fun if he tried to teach someone else how to do math like he does. I wonder if would even be possible to teach.
Fun fun fun.

Savant with autism describes math as shapes and sounds
Boing Boing (blargticle)
awesome, here is a reprint of the reprint..:
'Tammet is calculating 377 multiplied by 795. Actually, he isn't "calculating": there is nothing conscious about what he is doing. He arrives at the answer instantly. Since his epileptic fit, he has been able to see numbers as shapes, colours and textures. The number two, for instance, is a motion, and five is a clap of thunder. "When I multiply numbers together, I see two shapes. The image starts to change and evolve, and a third shape emerges. That's the answer. It's mental imagery. It's like maths without having to think..."'
did I mention awesome?

Im back.
On Friday we left here around 5.30 and made it to Lawrence by 7ish. We met up with newgen at free state (we is: me, Nicole, newgen, Jenette chris and aaron). After a very good dinner of tortelliniwe all headed over to Best Buy and looked around for a bit. After that we headed on back to Newgens to play video games and to go to sleep.
On Saturday we woke up around 6.30 and left by 7 so we could have enough time to get to Panera in St.L. The little trip to Lawrence on Friday made the longer trip to St.L on Saturday go much faster, and we were able to eat and sit fora bit at the Panera in St.L. The first hockey game we played was at 2 against SEMO. We did ok, but we lost 12-2, next we played Mizzu B, which we played better to a 11-1 loss. After the games we headed off to the hotel to shower, and showering we did. After waiting around forever for the guys to call us we decided to just go to Red Lobster to eat, since that is where Jenette wanted to eat for awhile now. By the time we got a seat and our drinks ordered (around 8), Ty calls aaron and says that they are gonna eat at Super Smokers, which is next door. If we hadnt just got our drinks we could have just left to go eat with the team, but alas it was not in the stars to do so. After dinner we went back to the motel and fell asleep to SNL.
Yesterday, we got to the arena around 8 to play our game at 9 against Truman. The game went fine, and we lost 11-1. (The goals for this weekend were Nate and Ty for the SEMO game, and me for the Mizzu and Truman game.) after the game we headed off to Columbia for lunch. We ate at Nothing But Noodles there, which was ok. After eating we wandered around Columbia for awhile and stopped in Slackers and Poppy, which are both very cool stores. (Slackers is a used music/movie/games store, and Poppy is a very good art like store.) After wondering around we had some coffee and the big Panera. After a nice sit we left for Manhattan. When we got home I hooked up the new receiver, speakers and 200 CD changer that newgen gave us to use ( ^_^ ), which led to just rearranging the room. While hooking everything up I watched Romeo and Juliet by Baz Luhrmann, which is sooo good, and then while working on Rhondas paper thing I watched Galaxy Quest. Then I went to bed.
Ta da, that was my weekend....

yup, they are still around... and still good.
Anyways, gamenight went fine last night. we had tacos and bananas foster for dessert. We played Squint for the game. We got some pics, so i'll post one when i get home (I'm at the office right now). Today has been nice so far, just got up drank some tea and then got a ride to my office when nicole needed to get off to her meeting.
After the required boring stuff this afternoon, we prob will head out to lawrence for a night of fun... which is eating out and playing around at newgens... and not the normal college aged retard fun of drinking your brain dead. :P
anyways, we have our last regular season hockey tourney in St.L this weekend, so the extra 1.5 hour drive that we get heading out to lawrence helps us not have to wake up so early in the morning.
In other news, aaron has heard 12th Street play at Java (now Blue Steam Bistro), and has their CD's...
Lance just stepped in, so i'm gonna bow on out.

Poll Shows Drop in Bush's Job Approval
Yahoo! Newsl (article)
Headline Shows Misleading Information
INTERNET- Today Yahoo published a poll in which Bush's disapproval rating slipped from 51 to 54 percent. The margin of error for this poll was 3 percent, which means the change was not statistically significant. The reporter continues to write a whole article off of something that could have been just random chance.
Good job.

Do Not Touch pole
Christian Moeller (site)
"A five meter tall stainless steel pole is standing in the center of a huge warning sign on the gallery floor telling the visitor “do not touch”.
It creates a conflict by tempting the visitor to do precisely what he is warned not to do. This conflict, when resolved through disobedience results in a jolting physical experience. Whenever somebody decides to ignore the warning by touching the pole he receives a significant electric shock amplified by sound."

(actually it is prob just something to do to get a negative US reaction so that they can keep their country unified against a common enemy.)

It ended up that last night we didn't goto BW3, because it was packed (K-State/KU basketball game), so instead we tried our luck at Famous Dave's. I will say that it is good, but they are more into sauce than smoke. I still like Cox better, but if some one asked if i wanted to goto Dave's i would go, but if they asked if i wanted BBQ i would still rather go to Cox.
Today has been pretty easy for me so far. I got to sleep in today, since nicole didn't have to goto school (she has an in-service). So I got a ride to class around 9, and then class went by rather quick. After class nicole picked me up and we went to go eat lunch at Panera. After that she dropped me off at home and she headed off for her in-service. So that leads us to now, and currently i am about ready to go take a shower.

This is a site that makes logos for you. I wonder if you look around (specially on the internet) if you can find logos made by these guys.
Here is a logo i made for my blog. If you are going into business for your self the prices are pretty good for the logos.
deviantART: Grid Game by ~Fam (game)
Here is a nifty game where you try to make a chain reaction, the larger the chain reaction, the more points you get. It is interesting that after you play for awhile that everything becomes much more ordered. Also it is interesting that the longest chain reactions occur when there is a mix of ordered and unordered cells... could be a good lead in to a project on avalanches or something.

Meesa Day
The rest of yesterday went fine. The only interesting thing was that we (me nicole jenette and chris) went to Pizza Hut for dinner after chris' class was over. I made sure to have extra fun, since amber couldn't go.
Today looks like it should be a livable day. I have to leave for class at 10 (in 30min) then after class I have to prepare for teaching this evening. Hopefully that will only take an hour so that I can have a couple hoursbreak at home. After teaching I think BW3 is still the plan (it at least was for amber). And that would round off my day. So let's see how these things go.

it's a snowing
Today has been a good day so far. I got a ride to school this morning when it just started to snow, and by the time my class started, it was snowing pretty good. 722 went fine, and seemed to go rather quick... could have been me watching it snow for most of the period... after class jenette stopped by my office and offered me a ride home, which i got (from chris). When jenette's class was over chris and I picked her up and we went to Radina's to drink warm drinks. Aaron stopped on by and we sat around till 3. At 3.30 I taughtmy class, which went well, then I came home. and ta da, here i am.
I took some pics of the snow, I'll post them when i get them loaded up.

Sweet drinks tied to kids' weight gain
MSNBC (article)
Kids that are slightly over weight have twice the risk of becoming overweight if they drink sweet drinks twice a day. Normal kids have no effect.
...so fat kids need to stay away from sweet drinks, for skinny kids it doesn't matter. Sounds logical to me...
"One Chicago Head Start program banned juice last year as part of an anti-obesity effort after finding that one out of five of its students was obese."
What the crap! We don't even know what double the risk means. It could mean 2 out of 100000 become overweight instead of 1 out of 100000.
The world is stupid... and at the moment Chicago is leading the way.

Not to be outdone by Paris, Chicago has now made a sculpture that can not be photographed. So what is the response? To try to take as make pics of it as possible. A the moment there are 46 on Flickr.
p.s. copyrighting has got out of hand.

Icy
Just got back from the test. It wasn't too bad. There were some iffy multiple-choice questions, as in, they were worded really badly, and so three of the answers could have been right... so i explained my answers... eh.
It's all icy outside, and it took about 15minutes to scrape the windows on the car. It's looking like a good day to drink tea and play inside.

Mmmmm....monday
Actually, today isn't too bad. I have to go take a test in Experimental design, which isn't *that* bad, and then I have most of the day off until hockey practice. Also, Nicole has the day off of school, so she will be able to get some things done... hopefully some of them will be fun things.
This weekend went fine. UMSL kicked our butts, and we don't like them. In the second game on Saturday,we played Truman. We played them very well (by the end of the first period it was 2 to 0 Truman, as opposed to our normal 7-0 deficit we have going into the second period normally). But, we just can not get any good bounces, and we ended up losing the game 11-1.
For dinner than night, we ate at Red Lobster, and man it was alot of food, very good though. :)
Our game yesterday was at 8am and Western Illinois did not show up... :P So we scrimmaged ourselves, it was fun, but I would have liked to play western. After the game we headed out and were on the road by 9.30. We got back to Manhattan by 3, and we got everything gathered up and over to Aaron's by 4.00.
The Super Bowl party was fun. The people there were: me, nicole, jenette, chris, aaron, and lance. Newgen and amber didn't make it :( . But that is ok. The game was good, the eagles had a chance to pull out a drive at the end to tie or win, but Donnivan McNabb was doing pretty bad by then, and the Eagles were terrible with their clock management. Overall I enjoyed the game, as I was going for the Pats...
we have so many cookies leftover ^_^.
Ok, I'm going to go load the pics up now... I'll post them when i get back from my test.

Today, tomorrow, and the next day
Today has gone fine so far. I woke up went to class, worked on my homework, got bored at school and came home. Nicole got home around 6, at 7 we took a nap until 8. Then we went to eat at Chili's and shop for Super Bowl food. Now we are home.
Tomorrow we have to leave by 6 so we can get to St.L with enough time to eat at Panera before our hockey games. I know we are playing UMSL tomorrow, so that will be a difficult game. On Sunday we play our game at 8, so we should be on the road by 9.30 and we should get back here around 3, so after a bit of showers we should be able to be at aarons by 4 at the latest, which will give us just enough time to get things set up.
Needless to say, posting here will not happen for the next couple of days.

Today started out stressful, but dancing matt has made my day better.
I got the rest of my grading done this morning. Then I went to 722. We got another assignmentin that class to do, and i need to finish the one that is due tomorrow soon. Also, I have to get ready for my 720 test today and tomorrow, because there will be no time this weekend to work on such useless things. Yay hockey and football!
The rest of today should go fine though, I teach at 3.30, which should be ok, then i need to work on some homework. After i get bored doing that, I have game night to get ready.
Ok chirs is talking to me now.. so i go.

breaker 54, we got a code Z
Off to bed for me...
since noon... I graded until 5pm, and got done with what i needed to for today, but not for tomorrow, so i still have some grading to do in the morning. Class went fine, and every one did pretty good on the test (16 out of 31 got an A). After class we went off to BW3 and talked and triviaed. Then we came home, and nicole worked on school stuff and I played on the net... now i am sleepy, so the bed is where my head is heading to.
over and out.

I think much like Wyoming in the past, Canada is making progressive laws to get people to move up there. I think this is a good idea, we can collaborate with Canada, they can get all the hippies, and we can get people that don't want to live in a socialist state. We could even have nationalities that can change with just a request between the two countries to encourage people to go where they want. deal?

Things I hate about my Flatmate (blog)
Very funny stuff. If you've had a roommate ever, I'm sure you can relate.
Davin has Benn the only roommate i've ever had (well Baker as well...). And everything was cool usually. I can remember one time after I got back from Garden and was getting ready for bed I looked everywhere for the shorts I wear to bed. I couldn't find them. So, after giving up Davin walked in, I asked him if he saw them, he said no, but then remembered that he put them on top of our 8 foot or so closet thing. Like I would *ever* find them there....
I guess if thats the worst thing I can think of, I got it pretty easy. ^_^
Anyways check out the blog.

a lot of time spent on things today, not much done.
I got only the first question done for 722 this morning... and i didn't get any grading done, but it did get a lunch with jenette, chris and aaron at Chipotle. ^_^
Also, class went fine. It isbetter to not have anything due at the end of the class period, that way everyone who doesn't care leaves, and then all thatsleft is a good group of people.
Oh, never mind, i did get stuff done today, I got all of this month's notes off to the copy center. Humm, so today was productive. yay me.
Now for more funner things... computer things...
