I love my sunglasses. They cost me sixteen dollars and ninety-nine cents, have medium-dark tan-colored lenses, and a black wire frame. I wear them inside a lot, because I put them on when I'm outside (even if it's not sunny out), and I'm so used to wearing sunglasses all the time, so when I go inside, sometimes I forget I have them on. People always give me crap about having my sunglasses on inside, like I'm trying to be a rockstar or something. Henceforth, if I want to wear my sunglasses inside, I will. If someone asks my why I have them on, I shall reply "Because I'm cooler than Elvis." Thank you. [Freshman getting a library introduction] |

You know, I was wondering what they were going to do. Because The Onion was in pretty much the same spot as The Daily Show: if your job is to make fun of the news, what happens if the news is off-limits to abuse? I'm so impressed with this, that it rivals any Onion edition I've ever seen. Especially This one. Furthermore, (and I say this with every bit of sincerity) I think The Onion wins the trophy for the most appropriate name for the tragedy. CNN had "Attack on America," and MSNBC had "America Under Attack" or something. The Onion has "HOLY FUCKING SHIT." With headlines like "God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule," how can you not read this paper? [Counting Crows:�This Desert Life] |

Thank you Courtney Hard, John Alagia, Reid Hunter - You started this and you know it. - in John Mayer's liner notes I want someone to say that to me on a 'Thank You' page someday. "You started this and you know it." How cool is that? [John Mayer:�Room for Squares] |

I should probably explain the whole SHOUTcast thing. If you have Winamp, Sonique, or some other MP3 player capable of streaming, then you can listen to whatever I happen to be listening to. (It even sounds okay on a modem, yo.) Just click here and if you get a box, choose "Open" or "Run this file from it's current location" or whatever. Ta-da! fiddle2 radio. I did this for a while a couple years ago, but took it down when I was banned from running servers at NDSU. Now it's back. [Ben Folds Five - Don't Change Your Plans.mp3] |

Blawg.com has a SHOUTcast stream now. All I have to say is that mine was up first. It's cool, tho; check that shit out. Rock, baby. [Cave In - Big Riff.mp3] |

This entry was originally filled with self-depricating bullshit about how I'm sick of all my female friends going off on those rants about what a great guy I am, even though none of them seem to want to date me... but it all sucked, so... well, nevermind. [Ben Folds Five - Mess.mp3] |

Okay, everybody, I have a very important question for all of you. Using the comments system, give me the URL of whatever you use for your browser homepage, that is, the page that loads by default when your browser runs. I'm really, really interested in this, because in the olden days, it was just Yahoo! for everybody. Now, people are taking more creative use of their browser setttings... what's yours? |

My sister has this friend from college who is now a graduate student here at NDSU, and several months ago, I ran into her, and we were like "Hey! We should grab some coffee sometime." That was several months ago, and somehow it just never happened. Tonight, we finally grabbed some coffee. Then, we grabbed a movie. Then, we took a walk. Then, we went somewhere else for some more coffee. Okay, keep in mind that up until this evening, I'd spent a cumulative total of about 7.5 minutes talking to this chick. Tonight, we hung out for six hours, and the only reason I had to go was because I have to work early tomorrow morning. How cool is that? |

"Homeland defense?" Who ever dreamed we'd have to defend our homeland? I mean, isn't that something we go over oceans to do for other people? - My sister, 2001-09-15 That's what I thought. It's amazing how often we can look back, and realize how naive we are. How naive I was. Everything I was talking about there seems very small now. Very insignificant. We took it for granted that we were safe from everything that happened "over oceans" to "other people." I like to think that there's a lot that other people take for granted which I don't, but I don't think anyone saw this coming, and I don't think we're going to have the luxury of taking safety for granted for a long, long time. |

A few minutes ago, I was watching CBS, and they showed the names and pictures of some of the people who died on Tuesday. Among them, a girls' gymnastics instructor, a man whose wife was pregnant with their first son, and also Pete Ganci. A few minutes ago, I wept for the first time in three years. I'm not even sure why it hit me so hard. Everyone I know who lives in New York is safe, but I simply cannot imagine what they must be going through. Every day, people die. Sometimes, it's people we know, and this is a part of life that most of us are prepared to face... but not like this. Never could we be prepared for this; not even now that it's happened. I'm so sorry, Michele. |

This article is almost as scary as CNN on Tuesday. |

I had just had a meeting with Sheree, my supervisor at TLC, and I walked to the Memorial Union to buy an engineering folder. A group of about 50 or so students were gathered in the Alumni Lounge, and when I walked over, I saw that the big-screen television had been brought up from the lower level of the Union. "What the hell happened?" I asked. I was told by a stranger, when the news was only an hour old. Pictures. [via unaesthetic] [Peter Jennings from ABC News] |

If anyone has seen the Zest commercial for Rainforest Falls scent: "Introducing the new scent of Bob..." That's ME. There aren't a great many things I can boast about, but one thing I do know for sure is that for one reason or another, I smell good. **shrug** Someone actually told me once, "Even your elbows smell good."

Once again, note the timestamp. Today started at 08:30, as I had to get up to finish writing my articles due for The Spectrum deadline today. Then classes, more writing, work, more writing, and then work 'til 1am, when I closed the Service Center. I get home, and find email that Michelle's computer had wet the bed (somehow it couldn't find ANY sort of operating system on it). So I went over there, repaired the hard disk to recover her data, and reinstalled windows. Now I am home, and I have a quiz in Calc tomorrow. I'll have to study for that tomorrow morning; as for now, I sleep. [the remnants of Moby's "Southside" going through my head] |

JephOmatic: y'all. kenickieTJK: ya'll JephOmatic: it's a proper contraction JephOmatic: put the apostrophe where the letters are omitted. kenickieTJK: ya + all = ya'll JephOmatic: you - "ou" + ' + "all" = y'all. kenickieTJK: ya + ' + (all - "a") = ya'll JephOmatic: would you say "ya all?!" JephOmatic: or "you all?" kenickieTJK: no, stupid, I'd say "ya'll" JephOmatic: nevermind. [Limp Bizkit on Fargo radio. Fargo radio sucks.] |
