Nephews are great

    So Saturday was a nice day to spend with my nephews. Played with Kyle a lot, trying to get him puckered out for Laura, and at the same time not puckering me out for the long drive back to Stillwater. Walked around the block with him, he started out in the big wagon, but only stayed in the wagon not even a house away from his house. I then followed him pulling the wagon as he pointed at passing Trucks saying "Twuck". At one point he grabbed the wagon and pulled it for me while I walked infront of him. Went around the "short" block once, then went around again, this time taking the "long" block, half way around the long block he got tired and had me pick him up. He wanted to rest his head on my shoulder, but my walking interupted that a bit. Then, just before I was to leave, and right at his nap time, I played with him upstairs. At one point, he pushed me into his tiny bed and then stuffed a few stuffed animals behind my head. He wanted me to take his nap for him so that he didn't have to take it, it seems. The plan failed in the end when mommy got him in bed and I said goodbye, giving him a nice big hug. Got to hold CJ a couple of times, that boy is getting big fast. Always wanting to be held or touched, not even 5 minutes without attention.

    In other news, it appears that men are now obsolete, boy, that sucks.

    Classes done for the day, dead week ahead of me, and next week is finals week, then 4 months of.... oh wait, I'm taking summer classes.... dang it......

    TUMEO.

At LaLa's

    Here I am, upstairs in my sister's house in Texas. Just got done with a day of classes, then took up the "open" road and drove 4 hours. Got to shoot some pool with John and see my two nephews. Tommorrow I'll try and run Kyle until he is tired (not very likely) so that Laura can relax a bit with CJ.

    The wall infront of me contains about 83 different Barbie dolls, can't wait until Kyle and CJ start taking them down from the wall and rip off the heads and show mommy what they did to her prize collection.

    I'll be heading back to Stillwater tommorrow, probably get there between 6pm and 7pm. I'll have to come down sometime when John is actually not working so I can beat him at pool more, the lean of the pool table aided John in a few victories tonight, but he's an old man now with two kids, so I'll give it to him (~_^)

    That's all for now, off to sleep, I guess, wow, kids = sleeping earlier, I might actually wake up "early" (before noon).

    TUMEO.

I honor thee

    Such time has transpired that I have endeavored to take the time to once again suppy, for your reading pleasure, a post made of strings of paragraphs which are in turn made of strings of sentences that happen to also be made of strings of words which contain strings of letters.

    Today heralds in the fact that I only have 2 more weeks remaining of actual classes, followed be dead week/final exams. It thrills me greatly that my horrible experience of college is nearly over for this semester, however, I have at least 3 more semesters remaining ahead. As to what my grades shall be this semester, I really don't have much of an idea, they might be good, they might be bad, time will only tell. On my last test in Finicial Management I made a 100%, so I guess that's a good thing. Nailed an A+ on my speech group project, so that's a good thing. Not sure how things will turn out of pyschology 1113 though, the class is... I suppose interesting, however the tests are horrible, so much useless information is taught in the class, why too much memorization required.

    I managed to watch Kill Bill volume 2 on Friday with several of my friends. I enjoyed it. Whereas several of my friends liked volume 1 more, I think I enjoyed volume 2 in a greater fashion. The main reason for most people to like volume 1 is because of the mass amounts of action contained therein. I thoroughly enjoyed hear the story though, and loved how it was all put together. The Superman anology was quite interesting as well.

    This coming Friday I am planning on driving down to Laura and John's to see my lovely 2 nephews, then head back to my dorm on Saturday afternoon. Maybe I'll finally get to shoot some pool with John. Just have to get the double check from Laura, already gotten the check from John to come (^_^)

    I have to try to figure out how to fix my sister's past posts, since my mom accidently deleted her weblog, that will be so much fun. I also have to figure out why it suddenly stopped allowing thumbnails. I'm about to try and upgrade the version of MT and see if that fixes it, hopefully it won't completely break it, though if it doesn't, I'll just re-install it, gotta back-up all the current posts first before I try the upgrade.

    I was sick this past week, had a cold, or something, not entirely sure, but I seem to be about 95% over it, still have a slight cough, but I think that's mostly drainage from ye ol' nose.

    That's all that I can remember to talk about for now, maybe I'll even post tommorrow, and honor thee with more reading material.

    TUMEO.

Hooray for color blindness

    I've been colorblind for about ... oh... all my life, and it hasn't really affected me much except in a few humorous situations, mostly because I've adapted and because my degree of colorblindness isn't all that severe. Today, however, it took a DRASTIC turn for the worst, I am barely able to type this because of the results of my color vision deficiency.

    After my last class today, I took my usual walk into the student union to purchase substance to fill my stomach with. A grabbed the delicious cheese burger this time (wasn't in the mood for chicken) and then proceeded to open the cooling unit that held a multitude of drinks. I looked for Code Red Mountain Dew, and grabbed a bottle which read "Mountain Dew" on the side. The color at the time (with a quick glance and seeing it not to be the orginial Mountain Dew color of nuclear green but not as bright [thanks Erik]) appeared plenty red enough, but apparently they stock the shelves up with Mountain Dew "Live Wire" which is the color of.... well, at least to me, partically identical to "Code Red". Looking at it now, it might appear that it COULD be lighter... or maybe not as red, I'd need a code red bottle to compare though. I opened the drink open arriving home, took a swig and thought..... this tastes.... wrong.... can pop go that bad? I then looked at the bottle and read "Live Wire" and cried for many hours as I curled up on my bed sucking my thumb.

    College is still a drag on my existance, nothing much else to say.

    TUMEO.
