Nothin'

Today was rather uneventful, I cleaned up the place a bit, fixed the laser on my Omnintendo (my own creation) and did a little Calculus homework. I did work on my projectile a tiny bit trying to get it ready for the final test this Monday. All I've got left is to attatch the parachute and the lid via a strong and I'm set. Let's just cross our fingers and hope the parachute comes out AND unfolds properly. I'm not sure about that part....

I also had a pleasant surprise, my "mature gamer" friend out East got a USB connector so we were able to play with eachother, me from my camper and her from her house. Now that was fun, being able to do something like that, I had the Instant Messenger on at the same time so we could talk a bit. It's not a computer game by the way, it's that racing game I spoke of earlier: Mario Kart and it's for a handheld system, kind of like a GameBoy you might say, only much better (and made by the same company). She was excited because she didn't think it would be a possibility since she is on dial-up. But her husband found a way to add some initialization strings to their modem and got well... triple their usual speed! So she has "hi-speed dial-up" now and so many good things have come of it, such as being able to play with me! Wait, I didn't mean it that way.....

I decided to take a trip to town to pick up some tape (of the masking variety) and my goodness was the town busy! Wally World was packed, I had to wait in line for a while just to purchase my tape! I don't know why it was so busy... first weekened after Thanksgiving weekend? People are realizing that Christmas is almost here? I'm not sure. What I do know is that after I got out of the store I felt like running to my car, driving home and spending the rest of the day in peace and quiet, away from all that humdrum. Which is what I did of course. I'm not a "man about town" sort of guy. There was a student at my old college who asked me what we did in the mountains, he couldn't imagine how anything could be interesting, it must be boring without being in the city. As for me, I could care less about walking the streets at night or staying up etc. I mean, I like to go to the movies every once in a while or visit the old antique stores on main street but as far as just being out on the town with friends.... I don't see it happening.

Oh, and I watched a few more episodes of "Wanted: Dead of Alive." I like it, I don't know what the reason is for the gun he has but it sure looks nice, his trademark weapon. A sawed off lever action Winchester that he has on his hip like a six-shooter, it kind of swivels out of it's socket really awesome-like.

I really should have written some about last week, but didn't feel like it today. I'm tired this weekend for some reason. And I'm looking forward to church tomorrow (very much as usual) so I'm gonna go now. I'll leave you with a short flash cartoon of Strong Bad!
