09:36 am - Current Sinfest and resulting AIM conversation b/t me and Greggy Okay, so today's sinfest is about Monique encountering a three headed puppy, hereby known as Cerby (thanks Greg). Instead of running in fear, she walks up to Cerby and begins to pet and glee over him. Greg and I were talking about it and this is what transpired.
09:01 am - Homecoming Weekend! So I'm not going to go into the gory details of this weekend, as most of you who'll read this entry were actually there. However, it was fun filled and bittersweet. Sure, some drama happened Saturday night with the bowling and the stuff, but all things worked out. Overall I would have to say that all of us had a great, if sleep-deprived, time. Camping with my boys was absolutely awesome, even though we couldn't scream between the tents like we did last year (damn you Mariposa). Sure, there were times where we got dampified, especially for those poor souls who didn't sleep in their car Saturday night/ Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon was awesome, what with the football and the CuddleFest on the new campus centre couches and the glorious HDTV in the CC. Oh BTW, the new campus centre design is FTW!!!! It looks like a Hilton lobby when you first walk in, but it grows on you. So much so that I kind wish that we had that CC when we were there. But I wouldn't trade the old one for anything because of the Plateau.
Now that I've said all that, I must say that only three things were missing that would have made this an absolutely perfect weekend. DM Farley, Wes and MISS KA'RLA!!! I MISS MISS KA'RLA! Alas, we shall see each other soon and OH SUCH FUN WILL THERE BE!
You're always the first to jump in to defend a friend, especially if you get the chance to throw a few punches. You're a bit of a spark-plug, although sometimes more than a little over-eager. You crave praise and attention, but most of the time you probably deserve it. You're very good-looking and have great taste in clothes. The opposite sex tends to be drawn to you, which is fine to a point, although sometimes it gets on your nerves. You enjoy teasing people, but you're also the first to laugh when someone teases you. Then again, it's all fun and games till someone gets hurt. You've got a temper you need to keep in check, but your friends know you're the "Second" they want in their corner. You like to tell stories and entertain people, and you've proved that being a people-person isn't learned, it's a talent.
Leslie: Hold please. Me: k Me: holding ::monkees elevator music plays:: Me: "We here at Leslie Corp appreciate your call. Please stay on the line and your call will be answered in the order it was received." Leslie: You call has been received. Please speak. Me: I have a complaint. Your corporation is taking over the world and I don't appreciate it. Leslie: I, as a representative of Leslie Corp would like you, as a friend and ally of Leslie Corp, to know that you have been accounted for in the final renderings of the plan. You will set up comfortably with ownership not only of the Buffalo Sabres but also most of Canada and the NHL. Me: Oh, I like that. Me: You can keep Quebec. Leslie: I knew you would. Leslie: Quebec can become a prisoner's colony. Me: I can see the slogan now. Quebec: The New Australia. But we speak French.
07:45 am - Today quote So I'm currently watching the Today show whilst getting ready for work/school. One of the segments is about a US submarine that sank in the midst of WWII. It was lost for 65 years, and just recently found on the bottom of the Pacific. Anyway, the reporter describes the wreckage as "broken and scattered, like a board game that ended angrily." All I can think of is HoughtonScrabble. Or someone dropping a banana onto said board. I laffed and laffed and laffed some more.
08:41 pm - The Day After Tomorrow Favourite quotes from the movie. In one scene, three people are debating which books to burn to stay warm, and thus, alive.
Librarian: Friedrich Nietzsche? We can't burn that! He's one of the most important thinkers in the nineteenth century! Girl: Please! Nietzsche was a chauvinist pig who was in love with his sister. Librarian: He was NOT a chauvinist pig. Girl: But he was in love with his sister! Boy: Uh, excuse me, guys? Yeah, we got a whole section on tax laws down here we can burn!
In other news, I'm seriously considering buying tickets to the first pre-season Sabres game on Friday night.
10:06 am - Death by comma Gerg and I having another conversation
Greg: it's asian for blathe Mike: which we all know means, to bluff Greg (one second later): which, as we all know, means to bluff Mike: HA Greg: only because I used correct punctuation Mike: At, least, I'm, not, like Leslie, who puts, commas, every,where, she c,an! .... Greg: death by comma!
I love you leslie, it's in good f,un ;-)! Current Mood: sick
09:16 am - Stuffness (inspired by coffee) So things are going rather well here in balmy Buffalo. I'm going to classes (ugh) and doing research (more ugh) but it will all be worth it in the end. Found out a week ago that I also got a new fellowship, which rocks and will look good on my resume. So lets see here, missing my Houghtonites, as usual, but UB friends are cool too. I've got maybe two years left in school and I have an idea of what I wish to do when I'm done. Hopefully I'll be teaching at a small college in NY or working in industry in either Hamilton ON or Toronto. So yeah. Things are looking up, now it's just a matter of finishing the degree and finding a company that will hire me so I can get permanent residency in canada. Two years and waiting. Until then, I'm having fun and drinking coffee.
NOTICE: Due to the demise of yahoo photos, I started using picasa/Google for my photo sharing needs a while back. I just uploaded like 3 new photo albums (roughly 260 photos) last night. Feel free to take a gander if ya wish. My Picasa Photos
11:00 am - Nerd Tests: Parts I and II So I decided to take the nerd test that Greggy posted. In that test, there's a link to the first nerd test. Results are posted after the jump.
01:23 pm - Stuffness So classes started the other day. Look like one is going to be a bitch cuz he's not going to curve the grades. Normally, that's not a bad thing, but this is the hardest class EVAR. Advanced organic chemistry. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully well. Nothing else is really going on with me. My one friend's going back to denmark tomorrow but meh, that's what IM is for eh? I've decided that I need to visit mah jamee, leslee, and shellee soon, although for some reason I think shellee is in london. But I'm probably wrong about that. Alas, visit-y goodness won't happen till I get fundages. Anyway, off to read for class.
In other news: Greg and I shouldn't be allowed to talk anymore. Read on:
Greg: the world may never know Mike: YOU ARE NOT HOW MANY LICKS IT TAKES TO GET TO THE TOOTSIE ROLL CENTRE OF A TOOTSIE POP! Greg: bow chicka bow wow Mike: ...ew
09:54 am - LOLcats: Part I So I came across some wicked funny LOLcatz and thought that I would post them here, for your enjoyment. Catz after the jump.
06:21 pm - Wedding-y goodness So yeah, the wedding was absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy that my lil brother from a different mother (and father) is married. I'm glad that I could be a part of it. Now, for the vacation in Jersey to BEGIN. woohoo. I'll be around and the such. So yeah, that's about it.
03:57 pm - VACAY!!!! (Finally) W00t! I'm downstate for a wedding and then over to NJ for a vacay. Here's to wedding fun, shore fun and AWESOME pizza. WooHOO!
11:35 am - Superpower I'm pretty sure this has been done somewhere before, but I'm asking it again cuz I be bored.
If you could have just ONE superpower, what would it be and why?
Mine would definitely have to be the Cyclops Laser-Eye system, complete with laser blocking sunglasses. What can I say, it would be cool to have a death glare that actually would be somewhat harmful.
10:00 am - Potter Record and Review Hello all. I would like to start off by saying that this LJ post will not contain any specific spoiliers. However, there will be some generalised rantings and ravings about the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. So now that you know this information and are warned, those of you who have not read the book should continue, only at your own risk. Those of you who HAVE read the book, read on and then we'll talk :-D. Also, this book has set a new record for me. I picked it up from the post office at 830 yesterday morning, read it for an hour at work b4 lunch, read from 130 till about 430, broke for group meeting and going home, read from about 630 till finishing at 1130. Looking back on reading it, I realised that I read it in about 9 hours (not straight thru though...). This is the fastest I've ever read an HP book.
So to those of you who read the book and my review, get in contact with me via AIM, facebook, or email and we can discuss if you wish. Those of you who haven't read the book... READ THE DAMN BOOK!
04:29 pm - No spoilers lay here So far, I'm about 225 pages into Deathly Hallows. I won't say anything about it, but so far. wow. also, there are a lot of what the crap moments. This weekend was pretty neat, what with hanging out with folkses! Um. Yeah. Much needed. Nothing else to say really. Back to HP and the DH
