greybetaWeekend Plans
Well, I'm getting my Level 1 Judge Certification this weekend...in Little Rock. Yep, I am making that five hour drive. Well, two hours really since I'll be staying in the Rouge's (anime Mike) apartment.
The Black Mage (lucky Andy) and the Tank (random Jameson) will be accompanying our Ft. Smith contigent to the Guildpact Prerelease. By Ft. Smith contigent I mean Mike's roomies and a couple of their friends. The calculating Black Mage gets one free flight as he finished as the runnerup in last year's States tournament in Arkansas. I fully expect our contigent to win at least a box, if not two, of Guildpact. And that doesn't count the compensation that the heretic White Mage and cunning Rouge get for judging.
I'm meeting an old friend from TU for breakfast on Saturday morning (waffles and bacon, mmmmm). Well, not really old since she's actually one year younger than me but she left early to go to pharmacy school. I have to say that's pretty strong, because they say your undergraduate years are your golden years. Then again, love knows no bounds as she's living the married life now.
Then I'm coming back early Sunday afternoon to do layout for the Opinion section. Hopefully, with more judicious planning, I will be done in less than twelve hours.
EAT ME
Come get some, Pac Man!
Swing dancing
Through certain means, I was coerced into going to a Ballroom Dance Club meeting. I should know better when I want to talk about an opinion article not to meet someone at a dance meeting, but I'm way too naive.
But you know, it wasn't half bad...
A major difference between News and Opinion
I shouldn't use "I" to interject my opinion on a news story.
On muckraking
Soon, I will become a rather unpopular student with the administration. So be it.
Or, as the Monsieur Maine would say: C'est la vie.
John Cleese Rocks!
His reading of C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters is fantastic!
Verse of the Day
"The eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are full committed to him."
~2 Chron. 16:9
Convos of the Day
LeeAnn: So, how does a coach improve their basketball team? Running laps? Shooting hoops? Teaching them to keep their center of gravity low?
D2: Steroids!
Smiles: I'm graduating this spring!
D2: Good riddance.
Smiles: Ouch! That was mean even for you, Your Most High Bitterness.
D2: Actually, Smiles and Sunshine, that was my nice side. You don't want to see my not so nice side.
D2: Hi, my name is Daniel Tu and I came here to talk to you about doing an article for the Collegian.
Natalie: Aw, you poor thing! You probably didn't want to swing dance for an hour and a half, did you?
D2: No, no, I owe Smiles quite a bit so it's just repayment of some debts.
HV: Do you know where the finals schedule for this semester is?
D2: Yeah, it's under the Academic Calendar under the Academics tab of Campus Connection.
HV: Show me.
D2: See, here's Fall 2005, then we scroll down to Spring 2006.
HV: Oh, I should have scrolled down.
Rouge: Repeat what you just said.
D2: I'm bringing a twelve foot sandwich in for lunch.
Rouge: What?!?
D2: Yeah, but I can probably only eat half of it. You can half of it.
Rouge: Dude, repeat the dimensions of this sandwich.
D2: It's twelve feet long.
Rouge: Twelve feet or twelve inches?
D2: Twelve...feet. Er, I mean inches.
Rouge: Okay, that's better.
Rouge: The secret to not doing chores is to be not very good at them.
D2: You're eventually going to have to be good at them some day.
Rouge: No, I'm only going to have to do them some day, not necessarily be good at them.

Apparently, I really need to see Brokeback Mountain. Oh, wait, I hate going to see movies in the movie theater because my first job was working at a movie theater (yes, two summers and a school year at that job scarred me that badly).
Curiosity question
What was your first job?
