It’s late at night…

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

I took some time to think about Roman Showers this weekend and I think I’ve figured out what they’re all about: when paying homage to the Good Porcilaine Doctor, it’s possible to pass out from oxygen deprivation and most people fall victim to the gasp for breath between office visits. Then I thought about the […]

The force is dumb in this one

I played Musical Classes today and switched two religion and psychology classes for different religion and psychology classes that just happen to be offered on the same days at the same times. Jesus must love me.
Speaking of the Only Begotten Boy, and I often do, I got great pleasure in repeatedly walking past a pile […]

First class or no class

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

[01:53 AM] Chris: man
[01:53 AM] Chris: first class is fucking expensive
[01:53 AM] Chris: $5,000 to barcelona from new york, round trip American Airlines
[01:53 AM] Chris: “iberia lineas” is $3,420
[01:54 AM] Chris: which scares me a bit
[01:54 AM] Chris: i think that’s spanish for “bomb on board”

Being the best hurts.

The airport in Las Vegas is awesome because there’s free WI-FI and plenty of places to plug in and Lap it up.
I’m on my way home from Concord, California, where I had my Blue Devils camp. I made it, no surprise, and I’m sitting in the Marimba 2 spot. Wootish. It should be a […]

How smart are you, really?

Sunday, January 22nd, 2006

MetaFilter was kind enough to point me to this page, which features a different kind of “Mensa Test.” No longer am I left staring at stupid images of wayward hexagons and prime numbers.
Instead, there is a series of 30-some-odd cryptic questions, such as:
24 H in a D (24 Hours in a Day)
And 64 S on […]

Aristophanes and his friend Red Shirt Guy

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

Overheard outside the ASU Memorial Union.
Dude 1: It all depends on your scale. What are you comparing it to? I mean who’s a 10? Is 10 like Jessica Simpson, or is a 10 the girl in your dreams that’s so perfect she could never be real?
Dude 2: Whoa.
Dude 3: Like totally huge tits!
Dude 2: We […]

Okay guys. No seriously; okay.

Okay, we all know that Tyra Banks is a horrible actress, right? Like, “god-awful”?
I’ll be the first to admit that she looks great, but why do people keep paying her to walk around and talk like that? If it wasn’t bad enough to see her try to be dramatic (which reminded me of a repetitive, […]

My job is so much cooler

If you live in Arizona you know that we’re having a “dry spell”, which is funny because this is the desert, and when I took BIO 100 they told me that deserts are mostly dry. Let’s not be so presumptuous to think that anyone actually paid attention in that class.
The weathermen (we don’t have weatherwomen) […]

Oh, he knows… He knows…

[03:16 PM] Tony: i just ate
[03:16 PM] Tony: my moving guys need time to make space
[03:16 PM] Chris: haha
[03:16 PM] Chris: do they have names?
[03:16 PM] Chris: tell me they have names
[03:17 PM] Tony: well, Gary is the usual shift lead, but when I drink milk he takes the night off and Carlos, the shitty […]

CES 2006 In Review

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

You know, I thought there might be a fair chance that I was one of the youngest CES attendees with a press badge, based on absolutely no facts. Then, while perusing the Sands Expo on the fourth day, I saw a nine year old girl named Jennifer with her parents (breaking some cardinal rule I […]

I hate everyone still.

It appears that the south-west is being “tragically infected” by the flu virus. Emergency rooms are packed and the number of cases is more than triple any year in the last decade. They blame this outbreak on cold weather, which is funny, because we’ve had a record high season.
Here it comes (are you ready?):
*ahem*
Don’t […]

I hate everyone. Sars.

“There are unwanted pregnancies, but not unwanted children,” says a PSA on a local television network.
According to any Christian Idiot, there’s not a difference. So, in short, everyone who has an opinion is stupid. Because clearly there are only facts and nothing is controversial, some people are just evil and unholy and they’re going to […]
