May Day

Since people seem to be giving May Day reports, here is one from the Hamvases:

MAY DAY WAS CANCELLED.

Yes, that dreaded Swine Flu that has maimed, killed, and left millions homeless across the US has struck Colorado as well. We had many concerned friends come yesterday bringing cookies, flowers, and get-well-wishes, but we were unable to open our doors to accept them, let alone leave our home to take anything to the other poor souls affected by the rampant disease. Please keep us in your prayers.

By the way, we're feeling much better today.

This is what you call...

...just about accurate.

Happy 80th Anniversary!

February 14th, 1929
Chicago, Illinois, Garage of the SMC Cartage Company

Six members of Bugs Moran's Irish Mob and a mechanic were inside.

Two members of Al Capone's Mafia (Bugs's rival) entered the garage, dressed as policemen.

Bugs's gang thought they were actually policeman, and obeyed their orders to line up against the wall.

The "policemen" then let two plain-clothesed gang members into the garage through the rear door.

Armed with shotguns and Tommy guns, they opened fire.

The four were able to leave the scene quietly by having the pair of men in plain-clothes escorted out by the pair dressed as police.

When the real police arrived, one of the dying men was asked who shot him. He replied "I'm not gonna talk - nobody shot me."

There was one survivor - a German Shepherd named Highball, found trapped and howling under a beer truck.

Happy Valentine's Day!!
(And yes, you have seen this before, and yes, if my blog sticks around, I am going to post this every year, because we all need some morbidity on a day so full of MUSH.)

I'm BAA-AACK!

Wow, it's been a LONG time since I posted last! Sorry...
No, no, I'm not sorry I didn't post. I'm sorry I'm posting again.
Just when you thought my pointless posting was gone for good -- mwahahahaha!

Ok, so after 2 months of posting nothing, it shouldn't be so hard to think of
something, but I guess I just don't know where to start.

Welp, you can never go wrong with a JAPANESE VIDEO!

In my MASSIVE amounts of free time over the last few months, I've enjoyed watching a few (cough more than a few cough) Japanese TV clips. I even learned some Japanese! (cough 3 words or so cough) Itadakimasu!
Anyway, I'll try to post some of my favorites every once in a while.

Other than that, I haven't really done much. Well, there it that whole college thing... but other than that, I've mainly been sleeping all day. Oh, I do get plenty of exercise. I walk at least 6 times a day from my bed to the fridge and back.

Anyway, here are some smidgens of the kinds of thing I've been working on when not sleeping or watching Japanese videos:

Stupid Pages

Stupid Presentations

Stupid Projects

Stupid Psummaries

Stupid Plans

And I'm paying to do this!?
Wow. I'm crazier than the guys in white coats originally thought.

Ok, it's been a good experience, but more than anything it's been exhausting. Stress tends to take the fun out of things. I'm looking forward to next semester though; it shouldn't be nearly as hectic. (Wait, I'm involved. Of course it's going to be hectic!) Anyway, I have this entire week off for Thanksgiving, then I go back for 1 more week to present some final projects (that I have yet to finish), and then I'm DONE (until January...).

Hoorah!

Hey, these might come in handy next semester:

Well, that's all for now. I haven't talked to any of you in a while, so leave a comment to let me know if you're still alive (even after reading this post).

You know what's weird?

The DNC isn't in town anymore...
but we're still hearing about it.
