Bad sneakers and a piña colada.

Listening to Steely Dan until I have to go to Physical Science. (Boring!) The professor spent most of the last class going over simple ideas like scientific notation and converting metric units because nobody knew how to do it. How can you get to college and not know what scientific notation is? What is wrong with these people?

Kris fucked up our Internet settings by downloading some stupid game, and I'm furious. Everything looks stupid and I don't know how to fix it. So far, all I've been able to fix is the font size. Help!

My German professor asked me what my favorite TV show is, and I replied Stargate Atlantis! He had never heard of it (which really surprised me, to be honest), but two guys in my class said, "Ja!" So there are a few fans in my class, but not many.

CD player just switched to Billy Joel. Speaking of which, he has this song, "Goodnight, Saigon," which I've always really liked, but there's this part that always bothered me. The song is pretty cool (I think he must've liked history, because of this song, "Leningrad," and "We Didn't Start the Fire," all songs where he talks about real historical happenings), but there's this one line that cracks me up no matter how into the song I am. He says, "We held onto each other/Like brother to brother/We promised our mothers we'd write." Isn't that hilarious? It seems so out of place. And the last time he sings that line, he says it really badass, like, "I'm not a motherfucker you want to mess with--I promised my mother I'd write, then I didn't! Top that, asshole!"

I changed the title of my page in honor of the Plutonians, these really stupid aliens on this show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They are trying to copy things, and one of the ideas they steal is the Stargate, only they call it the Fargate. Oglethorpe has this hilarious German accent, and he puts a mohawk on the "Fargate" (to distinguish it from the Stargate), then says, "It is in no way associated with the movie, or that syndicated series based on the movie. We are not getting sued!" (It's funnier if you hear it with a German accent.)

The Fargate!


"Ja, mini pizzas. Das would taste good to my palatte."
