Stalk the Weathercaster like an Academic Grown-Up, you Puppy Hoarder!

All I wanted all winter is snow. And now that it's hear and it's been coming off-and-on for more than a week, I still say, "bring it on."

Potlucking with One Million Monkey Video Game Creators.

Surprisingly, the TV show "American Dad" had a surprisingly poignant episode tonight about illegal immigration and sweatshops. I know that "American Dad" is just a general ripoff of "Family Guy," which is a more culturally disposable, break-neck paced and quickly obselete version of "The Simpsons," but this episode was actually a good one.

If Only I Had the Time...

Today was a pretty decent day, I think. I did basically nothing for most of the day after waking up very early on a day I could have slept in. We had two meetings for people to adopt puppies (both of which were successful, and now Dakota and Fargo have homes!). Amy went to some church singing thing between the two, which just was not the least bit appealing to me. Instead, I stayed home and finally reached "Pro" level for Wii Sports Tennis. We also hit a hockey game at Kent, after which I finally reached "Pro" level for Wii Sports Bowling. Baseball, Golf and Boxing all have a long way to go.

Two Ends of the Economic World

I think, starting this Monday, I'm going to start selling my plasma. I know that is strikes upon some ethical and biological issues in my mind, but we need some money. With Amy's hours being cut at her job (at which the hotel is nothing but a sinking ship), that puts us under water. And see, all we have to do is get through September alive and she could potentially quit her job and go to school full time.

Feeding Puppies Oats, Getting Spaghetti in Return

In my hysteria about the Colts and the Super Bowl and everything, I forgot to mention some things in the past post. That's fine, I suppose. I'm allowed to be happy about something that has no bearing on reality every once in a while, right?

Super!

After a lot of years of waiting, and a lot of years of suffering, the Colts have finally made the Super Bowl.

The Most Underrated Movie Segment of the 2000s

From the 2003 film A Mighty Wind by mockumentarian Christopher Guest. If you've seen the film, you might laugh. If not, you still might laugh. Anyway, this guy is the manager of a lame folk act that's been brought back for a reunion concert.

Filth, as Reflected in Debt, Cleavage, Waitresses and Jerseys

In trying to write these past couple of days, I've come across a few couple of barriers.  First, and perhaps foremost, I haven't had much to say.  The past few days have been generally useful in terms of getting things done, but otherwise uneventful.

Financial Aid and "Famous" Cops

Well, the past couple of days have been... busy, sorta. Financial aid, in all of its glory, arrived in our bank account on Wednesday morning.

A Waste

Well, so far as I can tell, today was one of the most worthless days of all time. Really, we didn't do much of anything. We didn't even wake up until nearly noon.

I'll Have Some Oatmeal and a Turd Salad.

So, how about Quakerism, you may ask?

Pseudo-Intellectual Pretend Olympics

You know, I'd love to be able to post some sort of semi-daily report (like normal) at this point telling what exciting things I've been doing the past few days. But, you know? I haven't done shit.

50%

Okay, so it's now 2007. While I'm not huge on the notion of New Year's Resolutions, the flipping of a calendar does provide a convenient measuring stick to see how I've progressed on some general goals I've had this year.
