LAN of the day award goes to.....

LAN room LAN.

On another note, I couldn't get the tonto blade smith and wesson so I opted for the bayonet which I would rather have anyway. As I sit here drinking a cherry slushy I wonder why the human race moves, and I answer myself, why not? At least we have gravity!

Inturruption spelled wrong!
I'm pissed.


THE WRONG MOUNTAIN DEW WON!!!

I'm so pissed that this blog is done. Fuck you Neil!

Seasonal Scenery Hiatus

Just got off the phone with Ryan Beluk, he goes to community college now. So much for bassoon. Hees cooking!

The last day at UMass has been awesome! I have no classes today so I'm just hanging out in 234. Pretty much all of my stuff is packed up and I'm about to go get Kristen or Neil's stuff packed up in the car. Taking 4 people in one car with all their shit is going to be interesting. Needless to say, I packed light.

Hot dog night was a success, we sold out and the reactions were overall positive. From now on, we will be doing this at midnight rather than one.

What do I have to do over vacation? Well, here's a list.

Practice mallet percussion and rudiments

Write a 5-7 page paper comparing two books

Read two books to compare

LAN

Celebrate St. Patricks Day

Bathe rat

Spend quality time with Rat, parents, and girlfriend

Go to Providence +/ Boston

Call Ryan Beluk back

Spend a day with Bryan

I think that might be all?///

Rainy day, come and stay!

I'd like to start this by saying [don't] fuck tha police.

Environmental destruction such as erosion and acid precipitation, isn't rain great?
Today is the first day in months that there has been a light warm shower. Winter rain in New England isn't pleasant, it is cold. Cold is bad.
When I woke up this morning at 10:45am I didn't think I was going to class, but after printing Julie's paper that she e-mailed me I figured, "Well I have to go outside anyway..." Little did I know that it was raining. Cool morning showers always have a great awakening feeling associated with them.
I had a book presentation today in my "Comp Lit: Good and Evil: East vs West" class at 11:15. "Everything is Illuminated" is a book by Jonathan Safran Foer, published in 2002. The main character who shares the author's name is a Jew whom travels to the Ukraine to search for family history in a place destroyed by the S.S. under the Nazi party. Another character, Alex, who ends up being a close relative to Jonathan is a Ukranian citizen who studies English at University and likes American trends much like how Asians still love Backstreet Boys. Throughout the story, viewpoints switch back and forth between these two characters.

In the words of Bryan West: "ya good book"

Hot Dog Blog

Tonight is Thursday, and you know what that means!
1AM, technically Friday, the Jim and Russ special in 234 Baker
Come with $2 cash, and you can get two hot dogs and a cup of beans!
So, we get a lot of questions about why exactly we do this on Thursday. "Who is awake at 1AM Thursday night?" There was a good amount of thought that went into this business venture. That's a lie, we were actually just cooking hot dogs and beans in our room on the George Foreman grill and other people wanted to get in on it. Last week, we completely sold out, so were increasing the output of our operation. I have moved the grill to the kitchen, and gotten bigger amounts of beans.
What does this mean for Me and Russ? Simple answer is Profit. (Wings $$$)

When the seasons change, we plan on moving the whole thing outside and maybe even having live music.

I would like to share this acronym with you. The problem with that is that it's not really an acronym, rather just catchy alliteration.
Prior Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance

Fare thee well...
