Liz wanted me to describe a really awesome scene, so here I go. The opening scene to Snow Crash is the funniest opening I've ever read. You start be learning about the Deliverator, this tough no-nonsense ninja-esque guy in a car that makes the Batmobile look like a gold cart. Then you find out what the Deliverator does. Should I spoil it for you? It's definitely worth it to read it yourself for the double take factor.

On a related note, I <3 Cosa Nostra.

Yay! Troublemaker is starting to behave. I'm excited to find out how it'll turn out.
I'm really curious about the Republican VP candidate. She certainly changed the election.

My interview was AWESOME. I'll find out if I got the job by the end of next week, when I will be elated or despondent, depending.

Hello radio friends

Hi all,

So yeah I missed last weeks post for no good reason, but no one seemed to care so i'm not all that upset. I bottled "Trouble Maker" tonight and I have to pack. I'm going on a trip to the land of snow called New Jersey. I'm going to train some people on a laser engraver that we use at work. Yeah for me for being picked! The challenges, hows this one.

"To all that can donate blood must." Save a life and be a hero today.


Bill

Politics, Pie, and Curry?

Liz asked:
"Give us the short version of what you think about the whole Democratic convention?"
Okay Short Version...
History was made by the past, present, and future of the Democratic party.

As for the Republicans,
The playbook just went out the window with a hurricane hitting New Orleans again.

By the way, What did you guys think of the blueberry pie Jess made?


I can't think of anything else to write about... so I'll share with you my new favorite wrestler. Yes, it's dumb... but you can't help to have a smile on your face after seeing his entrance.

Queen!!!

Today as been an excellant day for me. Stared my day nice and early and went to my last day of band camp. We ran our first two numbers of the show (fat bottom girls and crazy little thing called called love) and cleaned up some of the sets. The drill and the music are both very fun and they leave me exhausted at the end of it. But in a good way. Then we worked on Bohemian Rhapsody. *happiness*

After our fantasic half day of band camp I went to the cookout afterwards. It was pretty fun, I got to know a lot of the newer members better. After the party was over I went and played tennis with my friend abbey her brother and father. I wasn't that good but it was fun. And it turns out we have really good rackets in the garage. So. Watch out. Wimbledon here I come.

what else. what else.....

School this wednesday. That kinda sucks. I'll get to see my friends again though!

I'm wearing my Twilight shirt today. (oh yes. I have one. on the back it says " when you can live forever, what do you live for?" and on the front it has bella, edward and everybody else. )

-Liz

Greg-give us the short version of what you think about the whole democraic convention.

Bill-Wha happened to those challenge ideas you had a few weeks back?

Anne-describe a really awesome scene from either a book or movie.

Frank-The secret technique to Chicken Parm is....?

I'm offcially against Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montanna. I just an 8 year old tell me they were WAY better than Queen. What does she watch everyday? Disney Channel. Does she know who Queen is? No. But still. I want to throw myself off a cliff and put my head in a blender. and ride my bicycle. I don't want to actually kill myself but you get my drift.

-Liz

(are you queen crazy now that you've been playing their songs in MB? um no. I've always loved queen. We are the champions? amazing. btw frank I like your show theme. I want to see it, so tell me when you have the whole show together and a game I can go to.)

Phrank: Amnesia and Cupcakes

I always come up with great things to write about for my post earlier in the week, and by the time it comes to post, I've forgotten them.
In answer to Elizabeth's question, the best part of coming back to school is the freedom to keep my own hours without having to explain it to anybody. If I want to stay up till 5 in the morning every day, I can. If I want to get up at 5 in the morning every day, I can. I think you get the point.
I've always enjoyed my time at Holy Cross, and as excited as I am to graduate, get married and live in my own place, I will miss this campus. It's magical, not in fairy kind of way, but the practical summon weather kind of way. I feel safe here, like the campus is protected somehow.
In other news, the marching band field show is British Invasion themed, and we're doing "Paint it Black"-"Pinball Wizard"-"Can't Buy Me Love Magical Mystery Tour version" Should be an intriguing show to put on.

Here's Yahtzee's update for this week, definitely worth checking out.

*insert title here*

Like the new blog picture? It's called "Water on Mars".

What's up with Bill? He didn't post.

I've been feeling sick. Really crappy. I even called into work, which I only do if I'm throwing up or unable to stand. My boss was pissed, but I'll just start to cough near him if he gives me any trouble.

Almost done with Season 2 of SG1!

And to answer Liz's question: "What is your favorite band?"
Answer: I don't really have one. I like all different kinds of music. So to pick one favorite band would to imply that the scope of my aural taste is smaller than it is. And I'm not going to list all the bands I like, because that would take to long. What I will do is recommend "The Long Goodbye" to you. I found them on Pandora, and I'm really into them right now. That might change in a week or so, but I think they're worth listening too.

Meet the Water Cannon!

Liz asked "What is your favorite tv show at the moment"?

Well, Dr. Who Season 4 just finished up. I managed to see an episode of Venture bros. I've been watching WWE Monday Night Raw alot lately.

But to honestly answer the question is pick a choice that is not entertainment at all...
NBC's Meet The Press.
A huge reason why is if I can't watch it on TV,
I can watch it when I can anytime on the web.

A big change in the show happened when Tim Russert died, preparing for Meet the Press. Tom Brokaw has taken over, but it's not the same. He's not as tough as Tim was. Tim was raised by Jesuits and was a lawyer before jumping into politics and political journalism.

This last saturday I went to Canobie Lake Park. Think a smaller 6-flags. Jess got me a ticket for her father's company picket. After food, it was rides and the arcade. I won myself a new taz... And won Jess a Big Opps bear and a small Share Bear. (They're Care Bears, Liz, they're so before your time.)

But the most fun was the flume ride. They have two versions. There's one called the "Boston Tea Party" that's designed to get everyone wet, riders and watchers alike. The other one, which I'm talking about is a log on water ride. Now, here's the kicker: I didn't actually ride the log ride... I watched as people came by and said hello to them...

And then put a quarter into the machine next to me to spray water on them.
So much fun.
