So a few months ago, a guy comes into the Service Center with some graphics work to do with some research he was trying to get published. So I'm helping him with some Photoshop love, and he mentions something about a tip, and I say that we aren't allowed to take tips, but he can buy me a Rolling Rock if he wanted. (Yes, mom, I was kidding.)
That was a couple months ago. Today, I'm having lunch with Cassie, and he stops by, and insists on giving me a twenty to buy a case. I refused, so he gave it to Cassie to give to me.
Thank you, Dr. Ashworth.

Whoa, I just thought of it. I've figured out how to do it, and not only will it be better than I'd previously planned, but it'll be more flexible and easier to implement, too. Ya'll, this is some cool shit--just you wait. Just you wait.
Great ideas always come to you after you've gone to bed, and you're trying to go to sleep. Oh, this is gonna' be cool.
I wonder if I could get a job with them. You think?

Sent to Missy in an email today:
The way I feel about my life at this point is, strangely, exactly how one feels when you're driving your car waaaay to fast: You know you're going too fast, but any attempt to brake or steer too sharply will surely force the car entirely out of control, so you can't actually steer, per se, you simply make little *suggestions* on where the car should go.
I feel like I'm just nudging the direction of my life, not necessarily controlling it. All I know is that the throttle is stuck down, and I'm either going to crash, or run out of gas way out here--I'm not sure which is worse, but I don't like either one.

Blogger Insider: Dan's answers:
> 1. If you had a pet octopus, what would you name it?
Inky.
> 2. What's your favorite Beatles song?
Hey Jude
> 3. Which is a better value: string cheese or pineapple?
String cheese, because it's a heck of a lot easier to eat than pineapple.
> 4. Of all the quotes you've collected, which is your favorite?
I can't say I have a favorite, since some are funny, others are odd and yet others are spiring. A recent one I like is:
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. -- Albert Einstein
> 5. Do you have an allegiance to 8.5" x 11" paper? I do.
No. In Spain I used legal size and had no problem dealing with it.
> 6. Do you keep a journal? Like, hardcopy, that you write on, with a pen?
I used to (wrote in it every day for two years) but I don't currently.
> 7. How long before Microsoft abandon's Windows and releases their own flavor of Linux?
Never. They're far too entrenched in Windows, and far too prideful to ever admit their product is inferior to an OS that is free.
> 8. Describe your own theory behind Anakin Skywalker's turning to the Dark Side.
I think Anakin is so in love with Queen Amidala that he decides to go to the dark side, since he can't get married to her as a Jedi.
> 9. What was your GPA at high school/college graduation?
High school: 3.83, College: 3.01 (but I never graduated)
> 10. All-Time Top Five songs about jobs.
1. Take this Job and Shove it
2. Manic Monday - Bangles
3. Get A Job - The Silhouettes
4. Day Job - Gin Blossoms
5. Taxman - The Beatles (Fitting considering the day I'm answering these questions)

So I get a call this morning from my friend Lisa. Turns out the NDSU computer security director sent her an email because they had to block her computer from the network. Someone broke into it, and was going to use it in a DOS attack.
They wanted her to bring her computer in to secure it, but she has some unregistered software on it, so she just asked Dick (no, his name really is Dick) if it would be okay if I did it. Dick said that they usually want their staff to do it, but it'd be okay, because it was me. Folks, this is the same guy who tried to get me expelled, fired, and arrested last year. Now this year he's trusting me to secure boxes on his network. WTF?
I went in to talk to him about it--find out what he already knew so I could have a better idea of how to lock down the box, and he was showing me ping flood logs, IP addresses, and asking me to do portscans. I mean, I knew I was off his shit list, but damn... next thing you know he's gonna' invite me to a slumber party. Creepy, yo. Creepy.
Maybe I should see where this goes--he might be a useful writer of reference letters someday...

[Counting Crows: This Desert Life]
Just yesterday I was telling Missy about how my one and only hesitation toward giving blood was the paranoia that someone would walk by too fast, trip, and tear at the 18 gauge steel that was embedded deep into my flesh. Today, I saw there was a blood drive, and not two minutes after telling the bloodletting girl the same thing, she trips over the little stand holding up the pint connected to the flesh-impaled steel of the guy next to me. Fortunately, his arm wasn't mangled, and all was well. I just said, "Yeah, that's the kind of thing I hope to avoid." Everyone chuckled, but I must confess, I let out a heavy sigh of relief when my arm no longer had several feet of blood vessel-dicing conduit protruding from it.
Comments:
"You donated blood? I'm really scared of it, too. I want to do it, though, but can't now that I'm on medication every day. Grranimals! I don't even know what blood type I am."

-Missy [2002-04-09 18:24:27]
"Travis, while in the hospital and being drained of vital fluids almost nightly, I dreamed you and I were being held captive by a vampire cult masquerading as a youth retreat/ blood drive in Grand Forks. I kept asking for my phone and my car keys, and kept talking to you, and you never answered me. I was completely distressed, because I had to get you back to Fargo for class, and there we were, stuck in Sioux-land. I'm bad when I'm in charge."
-D* [2002-04-09 21:23:58]

Blogger Insider: Ismat's questions
>1. Do you live for organization?
I have a lot of stuff to help me BE organized, but any of my professors will be able to give you an accurate picture of how well I actually pull it off. I really just need someone to kick my ass and beat some dicipline into me.
>2. Are you a morning person? Why or why not?
Heh. With the exception of Art 110 freshman year, I've never had a class before lunch.
>3. Tell me about your Best Day.
Have you ever installed OS X?
>4. Why did you start blogging (ugh, even though I -hate- that word!)?
Way back in The Day, I moved from North Dakota to San Antonio, and I kinda wanted a way to keep in touch with my friends. I bought a webcam, and had a cam/blog/thingie called "the KroCam". It was possibly the pinnacle of my dorkdom. Unfortunately, however, people seemed to like it, and bitched at me to bring it back. Eventually, I brought it back (sans the cam) with the name "And Now for Something Completely Different," but changed it to "fiddle2" shortly thereafter; it's been that way ever since.
>5. What's so great about 1994?
Do I even remember that far back? '94 was when I got on the web, I believe. I had my first website in... '96 or so.
>6. Since your name is Travis, do you listen to the band Travis? (cuz you should)
Hell yeah. I have a copy of The Man Who which is autographed by Fran and Dougie. I also have a Travis Tshirt that says "TRAVIS THE MAN WHO" on it, and people CONSTANTLY look at it and go, "Travis, the man who WHAT? Did you MAKE that shirt cuz your name is Travis?" Then again, these are usually the same kinds of people who put their coffee cup on the CD-ROM tray...
>7. Stay in or go out?
Stay in. Movie, soda, blanket, girl. That will beat any bar any day of the week.
>8. What do you think your life will be like 20 years from now?
I've learned some very important lessons in the last year, one of them being that I'm not in the business of predicting the future. I'm not even going to humor myself and try. That's what we have God for.
>9. If you could go anywhere in the world tomorrow, where would you go?
Gainesville, Florida.
>10. Artist/venue of the best concert you've ever attended.
>(I liked your number 10 so much, I want to know your answer.)
Tough call between DMB '99 and Phantom Planet a couple weeks ago. DMB was at Southpark Meadows in Austin, Texas--that was some great shit. PP was at The Quest in Minneapolis, which is a small club, so it was a very personal show. Alex climbed up on the lights above the crowd, and then fell... directly on top of me. Me and about three other guys caught him. Put that shit in your book.
I have yet to see Leona Naess or Ani DiFranco play live, so this list will certainly change afterwards...

As many of you know, I'm a writer for The Weblog Review, even though I disagree with the idea of reviewing weblogs (crazy, huh?). Anyway, during a debate about how to deal with the "Target agegroup" catagory, someone made the comment that it was a stupid idea to even have the catagory, because "obviously, everyone wants their blog to be read by as many people as possible."
Jeff once said that fiddle2 had a "cult following," and I quickly disagreed with him. However, my audience, while small, is loyal, loving, and active in participation with the comments system. My blog exists for those who read it. I don't really put a lot of energy into getting random strangers to stop and read, but I always welcome new people with whom I may not be aquainted. Thanks to Kathy, Ishuku, and other folks from everywhere, but above all my blog is for you, you, you, you, and you.

Nation's Deans Meet To Discuss Problem Of College Girls Going Wild
GAINESVILLE, FL— Calling the trend "a black mark on academia," deans from more than 300 U.S. colleges converged on the University of Florida campus to address the growing problem of out-of-control, sexy sorority sweethearts baring it all for the cameras.
Alright, so I'm working--I realize I'm making money right now, but in all honesty, I'd pay someone to let me go to sleep.
excerpt from "Nothin But Net"
by Russel Quamann, High Plains Reader
...I've decided to convert from a dog person to a cat person. Or more specifically, a Munchkin cat person.... The ability of the cat to flee at incredible speed gives it the advantage of being able to avoid the consequences of its actions. If you've ever tried to dicipline a cat, you know exactly what I'm talking about. In fact, contrary to popular belief, a common house cat that was caught licking the butter was actually the first thing on this planet to break the sound barrier. These frustrations have come to and end with the discovery of the Munchkin cat. If you too desire a cat that can't get away from you, then get yourself to http://www.munchkins.com and get a couple of those slow little bastards.

Ironically, I just sent an email to Ducky about this yesterday, but today, I got a wedding invitation from my friend Rebekah. Rebekah: the first of my close friends from high school to get married (you know, except for two of my ex-girlfriends, but I didn't get invitations from either of them).
Comments:
"I've only been invited to one wedding of a high school friend. Nobody likes me. And all my exes live in Texas. "

"NyQuil comes in two colors: red and green; and it's the only thing that tastes like red and green. You've got NyQuil for day and NyQuil for night, take either one you want cuz your cold doesn't care what time it is."

How long have I had my wireless? Only now have I gotten around to actually recording my voicemail greeting.

Best girl EVER. I have Kenickie Tshirts! Kenickie Tshirts, I tell you! I'm so happy, I might... I don't know what. But this is damn cool. Cooler, I must say, than my Jeff Chunn Tshirt. I cannot express. Art chicks kick ass.

"So the secret is finally out! I accidentally posted about our silkscreening extravaganza and had to haul ass and delete it before you found out. I have four shirts! They are so super! It was crazy. Making shirts is just crazy."

Dart Test (thanks, Char)
A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary
class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith.
She says Dr. Smith was known for
his elaborate object lessons. One particular day, Sally walked into the
seminary and knew they were in for a fun day. On the wall was a big target
and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr. Smith told he students to draw
a picture of someone that they disliked or someone who had made them angry,
and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture.
Sally's girlfriend drew a picture of a girl who had stolen her
boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a
picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing,
even drawing pimples on the face.
Sally was pleased with the overall effect she had achieved. The class
lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw their darts
with such force that their targets were ripping apart. Sally looked forward
to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when Dr.Smith, because of
time limits, asked the students to return to their
seats.
As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a
chance to throw any darts at her target, Dr. Smith began removing the
target from the wall. Underneath the Target was a picture of Jesus...A
complete hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture
of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face and His eyes
were pierced. Dr.Smith said only these words..."In as much as ye have,
done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me."
Matthew 25:40. No other words were necessary; the tear filled eyes of
the students focused only on the picture of Christ.

Upside to having a fever: your bed warms up quickly.
I work this evening; I'm sure I shall not stay. I will pick up Kate at the train station; it arrives at 3:40am. I present our research prospectus to Dr. Meister tomorrow morning; take note of the word "morning".
I'm having a very Cameron day.

"It's amazing how much stuff has circulated between us, even before we knew each other. And oh, how I loved Nick Drake before I met you, too. It just goes to prove my theory: God used the same stuff when He made us both."

Did ya'll ever see those WB cartoons where a certain cartoon would get a big "4F" stamped on them, meaning they were rejected for something or another? You ever see those?
