I am happy to report that I have finished all five of my papers that were due in a 16 day period here at the end of the semester. I also managed to snag a 19/20 on my Bowling written exam and finished with a 113 average for the semester. Bowling is such my bitch now. It's late and I have a big day of rockin' the North Charlotte suburbs tomorrow with the one, the only, Mr. Ben Folds.

I'll bet it made better time than I will for NZ. Probably more comfortable, too.
It's done by a guy named John who started selling vintage shirts online. Then he met this girl named Heather through email and now they are married and running a company together from their house in California. They've got some great t-shirts definitely worth checking out. If anyone maybe wants to get one, there is free shipping on orders of 3 or more shirts. Two of my faves include:
Special Blog Feature: Altavista's Translating Fun!
I love Altavista's translating tool. It's helped me on many a Spanish essay and German composition. But it's also just a computer, so it has its shortcomings. It also provides an opportunity for some cheap laughs. I have taken my German homework and translated it from German to French to Spanish to English. It's some dumb "Enjoyments" thing based on a Bertolt Brecht poem.

I'm bloggin' from campus today! Woo! So what's up with everyone. The blog has been quiet lately. I know Chun is at home without fast Internet but plenty of the rest of you are still reading. So how about another random poll question.
If you could get a brand new car today (and maybe Burney has already gotten hers) valued at under $25,000, what would you get and why? No porsches or anything extravagant like that. I need some time to think of my answer so I'll post it in the comments when I get a chance.

agntkoala: you can be my pretend boyfriend for the day
minivan5000: i'll wear a Duke bumper sticker on my ass
agntkoala: i think that would be in very poor taste
agntkoala: and i would have to pretend break up with you. and i don't want to face losing my pretend boyfriend on such a happy day.
minivan5000: probably
minivan5000: you should pretend to break up with me even if i don't do that
minivan5000: that would be cool
agntkoala: haha, we should totally stage a huge screaming match in the middle of the dancing
agntkoala: "YOU PRETEND CHEATED ON ME! I THOUGHT WE WERE FOR PRETEND FOREVER!"
minivan5000: "THIS PRETEND RELATIONSHIP IS JUST A FARCE, I WANT MY PRETEND CUBIC ZIRCONIUM BACK"
It's been a while since I've mentioned it but I still have undying love for "Jamie" the mystery bus rider I see on MWF on the Westgrove Park and Ride bus leaving DH Hill around 2:22pm or 2:37pm. I need help for possible conversation ice breakers that aren't nearly as lame as these.
"Hey. I like your backpack."
"That's a nice bucket hat. Where'd you get it?"
"Did you just see that car parallel park? Are you any good at parallel parking?"
"When's the last time you made out with someone on a bus? How about today?"

All right, I've come to a decision. For all of 2003, I didn't date because frankly, I was too screwed up from all the people dying to even think of dragging someone else into the fray. But I think I'm less messed up at this point (please keep wiseass remarks to the contrary to yourself) and ready to open the floor up for date offers. Here are some things you should consider when making your offer:
-I am reasonably attractive, but I don't dress up unless there's a damn good reason for it. If you think you're a damn good reason, let me know.
-I am a massive and unabashed dork. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, you name it. But NOT Star Trek. Star Trek dorks need not apply.
-I am obsessed with sports. I probably know as much or more about a given sport than you do (except the NBA, which is not really a sport at all. And golf.) I like to coach (read: yell at) the TV when the Braves, Red Sox, Panthers, Hurricanes and, most importantly, the Tar Heels, are playing. And also spoon.
-I will expect you to bathe on more days of the week than you don't bathe. That means a minimum of four times. Please.
-No smokers, drug users, alcoholics, assholes, closet homosexuals, Yankees fans, actual Yankees (the accent bothers me) or high schoolers.
Suggestions? Comments? Marriage proposals? Let me know.

So this guy from ECU emailed me and wants me to be a member of his ecology lab as a grad student. He seems nice enough, but I can't decide: is he cute/dorky or just plain dorky?

Ok, I'm laying in bed trying to sleep because I have a damn 8am class tomorrow. And all of a sudden it's like the fucking Apocalypse. A noise like some over-enthusiastic power tool choir. I mean, what in all hell. So I go look out the window, and nothing, and I stick my head out the door, and there's my suitemate, Cailen (pronounced Colleen) vacuuming with some huge, heavy-duty, industrial sized behemoth. Because it's not the middle of the damn night or anything. Jesus.
