Phrank: It's What's For Dinner

Hello siblings, this week has been a bit topsy turvy. A surprise visit home for a dentist appointment on Monday morning kicked off a week which I will call "Slacker". I had class enrollment today, got three out of my four classes, and just waiting to hear from the professor for the fourth class. More on classes when I know exactly what I'm taking. My hair was blue, it's kinda faded into a green/blue/silver/gray color already. At this rate it'll wash out in two weeks. Don't tell mom. I competed in an Iron Chef challenge at the dining hall Wednesday night, which was a lot fun even though I didn't win. Other news, I showed my friends at school Little Mosque on the Prairie and it was a big hit. That said, here's Phrank's creative input for the week: Tracy the Bison!

Tracy is a good friend of mine, for a bison. Tracy has been on all kinds of adventures, sometimes I tag along. There was this one time where Tracy was fighting in a world martial arts tournament with Bruce Lee, Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Tracy is a triple black belt in four different styles, so it was an easy win until Jackie started cracking jokes and Tracy rolled out of the ring laughing. Still, we had a good time, we all went out to Mon Kou/Yong Shing for chicken fingers and powk fwied wice. Then Tracy's cell phone started ringing and he had to go save Superman from kryptonite poisoning. That was a lot of fun with Tracy the Bison.

Siblings! The era of having someone posting for you might be coming to a close! OMG! I was looking at the site updates and there is a new feature being tested out, delayed posting! Essentially, you can write a post and set a time stamp for it, in the future! The blog will wait until the appointed time and post it for you automatically! Magical! I sound like a tech blueprint from Arcanum! Fantastic! So in the wake of the controversy over the last post, perhaps this advent of new technology will prevent the pseudo-posting from ever occurring again! By the way, Elizabeth, how did it feel to post on a Wednesday? I can only imagine what that feels like.
Siblings, secret project 1-5-15 is coming up very soon, e-mail me at skraved@yahoo.com so we can get started on planning this!
New challenge! What does OMG stand for? Best answer gets a prize. My submissions are "Oh man, Greg" and "Oh marvelous, gouda!" Bring it!

Anne's amazing post~

OK, so Anne's apartment doesn't have any internet yet. So Anne has me (liz) to post for her. Which I think is great because now I can redeem myself. I think that her not having wireless up there is good reason not to post. I don't think there will be any controversy over this post. Anne might be home soon but I'm not sure because her roommate is coming soon. OK well tootles have a great day!

Bill and The Awsomeness of Me

Yes sibling it is Tuesday, the best day of the week because you get to hear my rants and raves about everything and anything. This time I was not drinking before, so it might actually make sense.

First of let's get something straight. I do not like Greg's challenge. Any writing more than is necessary causes pain on me. I have to write it and then I have to read it. Way to much work.
Second, commenting twice on someone's post. I say a beheading or lopping off of a hand is needed, but the others still haven't come around to my way of thinking. You broke the rules, we'll break you. Until then we will just comment as much as we want on Greg's post for two weeks. Two weeks because he put up Two comments.
Third, I got my taxes and I will be getting back money from the government. So to all the friends in the Army. Don't break anything until I get my money, I don't want my return to get smaller because you "forgot" to turn the safety on a nuke and now we have to pay a third world county. Still play third world farmer.
Fourth, Beer. Yum. It wasn't ready to bottle yet but I will keep you all posted on the status.

I think that is all for now, but ask me again in five minuets and I'll give you more than you can handle.

Sick and Reading

Right now, I'm quick sick. I look into my bathroom mirror and I look like a Noh perfomer. I act like one as I try to get back to my feet and upright. Trust me, I really wish it was a true ichi-go ichi-e performance.

I'm reading Persuasive Games by Ian Bogost. I'm working through the first section of right now, and its quite in the league of stuck up books right now. I'm thinking that it'll get better once he finishes the hair splitting exactly he means and moves on to the examples I'll be a bit happier. Go figure, it's printed by the MIT press. It's been a while I've honestly been challenged by a text on this level. He's already referenced Shakespeare on the Holodeck a few times. So that's just popped on to my got to buy and read when I can list. I'm reading Persuasive cause I'm giving a presentation on Serious games in 8 days (on the 15th).


Out of all of my siblings, I have to give Frank the props for taking the challenge I issued last week and doing it. I'll be posting mine next week once. (I hope.) Bill has called me out on violating the multiple post on off-day rule. I guess this qualifies for some sort of punishment from my siblings. I'll let them figure (fight among themselves) this out.

- See ya on the flip side
