OK, so the low down is that we are having a SuperBowl part at “the house” (comes equipped with “the brain cell”®) but we couldn’t officially announce it as a 703 replacement party since we will be drinking some beer. This is not a get drunk kind of thing, but my roommates and I do [...]

So I want to say that I don’t like any of my classes except my philosophy class. Which now totals me hating every class I’ve taken in the engineering college that is not in my major or the CS department. Also, it means that total the south of Green classes that I have hated is [...]
That is right ladies and gentleman, I have in my possession the “MasterPiece Optimus Prime: 20th Anniversary Edition” and it is the most bad-ass thing ever. I had to make the title as vulgar as I did because there is no better way to describe how cool this toy is (and because I needed to [...]

The weekend was good. Lauren and I spent most of it by ourselves, which was good because I’ve been a little overloaded with people lately. On Friday night we spent the early part of the evening alone and ate dinner at her place, then we went over to Jeff’s for a while and watched Star [...]
Well, just to give you all a little insight into the “HOUSE” and it’s happenings….right now the smelly one is working on a comic about the house. I know we have mentioned doing this on several occasions, but this one is important. As many of you know there is a certain Optimus Prime toy that [...]
The chunky soup is no longer on sale. Why God, Why!!!?!?!?!?! Why must you give me a wonderful sale on chunky soup when I couldn’t afford to take full advantage of it, just to take it away when I could….WHY!?!?!?!!!!!!!! Also, Linux sucks. Thats right, I’m a computer geek, and I said it. Do you [...]
Ok, so everything is cool. Sometimes when you add stuff to these kinds of scripts that run web stuff, like blogs, you have to fiddle with them. Especially when you upgrade a script and you had an add-on plugin installed. I had to make sure the “Threaded Comments” plugin worked correctly, and now it does. [...]
I might be taking the webpage down for a little bit, or it might not work correctly for a little while, because I’m upgrading the blog script to help keep people from spamming my comments. Not that this has happened, but it would be good to keep up to date with the latest and greatest [...]
I like Chunky Soup. And Chunky Soup is on sale for a dollar a can at Shnucks, which is a good thing. For some reason, I seemed to think that Chunky Soup had to be made on the stove. This may have originated from the fact that when I first started buying Chunky Soup and [...]
So I just watched “American Wedding” and I have to say that while this probably isn’t the best movie to get you thinking about your own wedding, I did come out of it with some thoughts on my wedding. First, I really liked the vows that the character Michelle said to Jim, and I got [...]
So I have been reading over some stuff on the “Toronto Blessing” a movement in a Vineyard church for a time that focused very much on what they called “holy laughter.” Now I know that many of you aren’t very familiar with the concepts of spiritual gifts, so I will just tell you that the [...]
Dad came home today. He is feeling good, his scar looks good, and he is getting around the house really well. Even having a pretty easy time going up and down the stairs. I’ve been thinking a lot about the way the one year Bible is laid out, and I think it might be good [...]
