For starters, happy Halloween. I had chem and calc. Bombed the quiz, oh well I have a high grade enough. Then had engineering graphics. I trick or treated. Check the personal blog for it. Then some friends that followed me started fighting over a phone. They were wrestling and all. Kind of entertaining. And before one of them set off a fabreese bomb. Later

would have posted this last noght but the network gets so bogged down on sunday due to people procrastinating and filling up the network. Well I went to church, skyped a friend back home, took a quiz for chem, and watched hulu.

I took a test today that payed me. It was the CLA, and I am bound by signature to not tell you what was on it. But I can tell you that it was essays. Persuasive essays. Like what ruined 11 grade English. I saw what I was doing and yelled noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo in my head. Didn't help that I had a hard time sleeping the night before and was dead tired for it. Oh well, got my $25 visa gift card. Spent it on Popeye and a thing on froobi that is apparently a pocket chair.

Well I skyped my parents and they said I look really tired and should take a nap. I did, but was on my Concetta so my dream was a little trippy since I'm basically totally aware while asleep. It's hard to explain.

Well I went and saw the Rocky Horror Show at my on campus theatre. It was so horrible I left at intermission. I will try to forget it as best I can. Wish me luck. Later

Cool thing was that my chem class got out early because it was holloween weekend. My college experience became official when I saw a guy in a toga. College just isn't college until a toga. Then there was a guy in shorts and toiletpaper saying "I'm a mummy. Mummy mummy mummy," in a gruff voice. Watched clerks and jay and silent bob strike back. Clerks was better.

The toy train is done. Here is the picture.

Finished some other work, but the train was my big joy.

10/25/11

All I have to say is, "the vacation last weekend was a nice break but the work afterwards sucks."

10/24/11

Not much happened today. Slept in till 8:30. Well I'm enjoying my second free trial of hulu plus, as best I can. I don't have my brother's xbox 360 or other streaming devices for plus. So can't do that, and anyways, I will just conect my laptop to my tv via HDMI and it works great. So what I'm doing is watching plus only content while I can. The cotent that I like that's plus only is small but filled my cue to over 1000. It's mainly SNL 700+ episodes, and the 100+ comedy central presents. It's a joke though, hulu plus that is. Streaming on devices ok but I don't have any to stream on. There isn't much stuff on plus only that I want. I basically am gifting my trial to my brother since he has the xbox. Oh well. Later.

I drove back from the wedding I was at this weekend. You can read full story on pokematic-pokematicsblog.blogspot.com. The real fun happened over the past last 2 1/2 hours. I have been having some trouble signing into my zune account on my zune software. I tried everything that the zune website says and everything the forums are saying, and nothing. Well contactr support with zune and had an im with elliot and sam. Both tried hard but to no avail. Damn. Wish me luck.

10/19/11

Not much happened. The biggest thing is my contempt for laundry. For starters I need to have about 2 hours of free time because I need to sort, get down there, get 3 machines, 1 for whites, one for brights, and 1 for darks, get all the detergent and softener loaded, wait for the laundry to to wash, transfer to dryer, then dry. Ahhhhhhh. But today yielded annoying and interesting results.

We have this thing where we can have money on our account and use that for paying for laundry. Well I was running low so I put more on. Just swipe card and select machine. Well when I selected my washer on the card swipe machine, it said I had $21, and a wash is $1.50. It said I had insufficient funds. Either there was an error in the system, or laundry has really gotten expensive. Good thing the machines have a quarter function. I had to run back to my room to get my change jar. I couldn't have just grabbed quarters because my quarters are on the bottom and I had unattended laundry down there. I fish out quarters and put them in, and remarkably, it was only $1.50, which last time I checked is way less than $21. Oh well the other machines took my credits.

Now for an annoying thing that I wish would be fixed. It seems like there's a dryer that always seems to not work. I wish there was some way of knowing which ones worked and which ones didn't. Well through luck of the draw, I chose the broken one. Ate my dollar. Damn. I really hate laundry. I miss being able to do laundry at sporadic times, and not having to worry about which machines work and which ones don't. It wasn't so bad back when I had home washer and dryer, but this laundromat like set-up sucks. Until next time.

10/18/11 Day of silence

it went really well. A full explanation of how it went can be read here.

In a funy story, I spilled sprite on my crotch today while on the bus. It looked like I peed my pants, but no one really stared. Well to explain without talking, I wrote "it's sprite I don't have time to change my pants." on a piece of paper ready to flash if someone stared. Though I think the vest distacted from my giant wet spot.

10/17/11

I had a rather busy day. I had advising after 1 of my math class, so my schedule was "chem, then math, then advising." I had no time to eat lunch at my normal time. Since I was already on the engineering complex for my advising, I just stayed at the campus and did home work while I waited for my graphics class. It worked out fine.

Now for some news from catholiccontriversy. Tomarow is the pro-life day of silence. I am participating. I set up my vest to have pro-life quotes by me in duct tape. I am going to be silent all day tomarrow. Expect a video on it.

10/16/11

Woke up at 10:50 and thought I overslept for church and would have to go later tonight. Then I realized mass is at 11:30 not 11:00, and it takes me 10 minutes to get ready and 10 minutes to walk down to church. So I get ready and go down. I then ate lunch and did homework. Not much else today. I did connect my computer to my tv and watched hulu. That was cool.

10/14/11-10/15/11

Friday I went to my classes. I went to see blithe spirit. I did drive safe kalamazoo. I had some funny things happen with drive safe kalamazoo. I came home at 4 am and ate ramen. Crashed watching george Lopez at 5 and slept until 1 pm. It is kind of weird waking up and eating a cheeseburger and fries first thing when you wake up.

Well I did homework and skyped my parents. I then wrote 2 blog entries, 1 chronicling my day yesterday and 1 reviewing the play I saw yesterday. I always love it when I can write corresponding entries like that. I mean I always write a post on your3minutes when I write a post for my other blogs, but love it when pokematics blog and ccpandhgvideos corresponds because then it's like I'm telling you about the story of getting there and then what happened there. Double the work but double the fun.

And here's an interesting conundrum I thought of while listening to stairway to heaven backwards. No it wasn't "is this really what was meant or is it as real as English class symbolism?" It was, "if I sing the backwards lyrics like they appear as people say they are, will it sound like the original when played backwards?" I need to try that sometime.

10/13/11

Had my classes, nothing special there. Saw some old highschool buddies at dinner but due to bad timing wasn't able to do more than just say hi. I also saw what it was like to be drunk mario karting without being drunk. Full details up at the personal blog. Later.

10/12/11

Not much happened. I started writing a script for a video on motivational speakers. It started out being the spawn of anger, but after writing most of it I started calming down. I will revise to make it good.

10/10/11

Went to my classes. Went to my filmakers club. Go to www.thedayjobmovie.com for a trailer.

10/7/11

Posting one day late due to an issue I'll get to. Well I got up and was super quiet because I was apparently was to loud with my key chain. I can be a good roommate so I kept quiet. I had my classes and then got my shots. It was my day for allergy shots. I was planning to just make an appointment for my flu shot because I need to get a special one. They had the special one in stock so I got the shot that day. 3 shots in one day. Good thing I have mostly gotten over my fear of needles. I walk outside the center and there was this soapbox derby going on with the different organizations. Really cool. I watched it.

Well after that I went to eat lunch. It was 2 hours after I normally would. Because of that I wasn't hungry at my normal time for dinner. Because of that the dining hall closed before I could get down there to eat. I had ramen. So I heat up the water and throw the noodles in. I forgot that I had the noodles sitting in the water because I got pulled into online videos. Well when I koticed that I had ramen, the noodles were completely cooked and hydrated. I don't think I've ever had perfectly prepared ramen like that. I threw in the flavor pack, put it back into the microwave for a minute to get it back to being warm. It was the best ramen I've ever had.

I took a swagbucks survey and got more swagbucks. I then crashed on the futon with the mouse in my hand with the light and TV on. I got through half an episode of friends before konking out. I woke up to an episode of my wife and kids at 4 in the morning. I then turned off the TV, the light, and climbed up to my loft. I slept for another 6 hours. First time I've slept for 11 hours in a long time.

10/5/11

I died my hair pink for breast cancer. Just missed the bus but I left super early so I missed the early bus and still made it to class on time. And steve jobs is dead. I feel no sadness and in a sick way am kind of happy. Without the icult leader the icult will fall apart.

10/4/11

Tuesdays kind of suck. I have about an hour between classes, but unfortunately I can't do much because the bus ride between campuses is about 20 minutes. Ug.

And here is a super annoying thing that kind of ruined my night, I ruined my favorite pair of headphones. It had volume control, comfort, durable cord, and a microphone. Well the plug couldn't stand up to my stepping on it and yanking it out of the jack at an angle. Luckily the jack still works. I'm gonna have to get another pair through mycokerewards again. Ug. Until next time.
