Friday: April 03, 2009 - Rare Friday Update
It's rare there's a Friday update but this is an important one. Yesterday I signed up to take an art class on Monday nights. I've wanted to take one for a while since I'm clearly a gifted artist and I thought I'd meet more "normal" (as normal as you get in a class where you learn to draw triangles with faces) on a Monday night than a Saturday morning with soccer moms.
The reason for this entry is the problem this poses: The Cubs open their season at 7pm, the same time my class starts. This means I will not get to see the game as a live broadcast. What does this mean for you? TELL ME NOTHING. I don't care if Zambrano has a no-hitter going into the 9th or if he blows out his shoulder on the first pitch. Don't call, text, IM, ESP, nothing me until I give the word. The first Cubs game of the year is my second-favorite day of the year (after FSU's opening game) and ain't nobody going to spoil it for me.
In other news, I got my second marriage proposal of the year. Also in other news Marc, Annie, and I went to the "friendliest bar in town" (Mr. Smith's) last night and it wasn't really all that friendly. It did answer a major music theory question: Would the world implode if every note possible were sung at the same time? No, the world will not implode but thanks to the key change in Living on a Prayer we were able to at least find out. We also tried out Old Glory which was pretty lame. I'm too old for cover charges.

It's a shame we couldn't save those original Stick-O comics you drew... those were instant classics. If Stick-O, the high school dropout-turned-teacher were drawn today, he'd probably working at some Stick-Company with a Stick-PointyHairedBoss. - Evil Mike
Remember that part where you RickChompyRolled everyone and they hated it and you laughed about it the next day?
Mike, all I can say is stay away from the internet and turn off your cell phone, or else revenge will be had. - T-Chris
Ah, the "Livin' on a Prayer" key change...the greatest key change in pop music. And I totally agree with you about the cover charge thing. At what point did you recognize that fact? For me, I think it was after Vegas, where it cost me $15 just to GET IN each place. Ugh.
I'll try not to ruin the game for you. But I'm not making any promises... - SC
Hmm, difficult, but I will do my best. I'll be in class during the game though, so maybe I won't be the one ruining it for you.
Good Things Take Time...
2 days until FSU Football (2010)

Finally, we're on a Key. This is before dinner on Islamorada. I still can't pronounce it without really thinking about it.

09-02-2009: I think I have the swine flu. I think I caught it during the Counting Crows concert then brought it back. I took the liberty of passing it along to 100+ college students in the hopes of teaching them a valuable history lesson about settlers and smallpox blankets (right Steve?) I actually do feel a little bit better today but I've also slept away the gross majority of the past three days. Tomorrow I have to go back to school and I can't call in sick so by 10am I'll know how bad I have it depending on how many students I inadvertently killed on Wednesday.
Football starts tonight. Thank God. Too bad I'll be asleep and have to miss the first two games. On Monday Tim and Chris are going to come over to watch FSU whomp Miami. Back to bed.09-02-2008: Ok, seriously, we're playing MarioKart tonight at 8pm. SERIOUSLY.
I got sick last night around 10pm for no reason. Just a regular cold but it came out of nowhere and by the time I woke around 2:30pm this afternoon it had almost totally gone away. Weird. I ordered ESPN GamePlan yesterday so now I can watch up to six college football games at once. This is grossly unnecessary but really, few things in life are really all that necessary. The Cubs can't clinch a playoff spot fast enough--my big TV awaits!
I also picked up Ab last night and she and Chompy covered my bed in dirt after running around in the clay before coming in. Speaking of clay, I read that some people crave eating clay while pregnant. Weirdy. Since I'm phoning in today's entry, here's a video that's worth the watch (with FSU alum Richard Simmons no less).
I took the day off blogging but only because I was thinking of you.09-02-2006: After laboring in coal-mine like conditions for the past 11 months I was pleased to get Labor Day off. Over the weekend the only major thing I "accomplished" was buying a new TV for my office. I got it at Home Depot of all places but I wanted a 15" LCD and didn't want to spend $350 at Best Buy for a crap-brand when I could spend $250 at Home Depot for a Magnavox. The TV it replaced did not change channels or allow you to adjust the volume more than once a week. Usually each Sunday I'd decide what channel and volume to watch for the week and then hate my decision to choose Lifetime (hey, Fraiser was on) on near-mute. The new TV is nice and it looks good next to my two flat-screen monitors. Booyah.
