…I will post. Even though I have almost nothing interesting to say. Although I just lost the first version. Stupid Internet Explorer.

Yeah, you read correctly. I’m at work, but I managed to forget my laptop power cord and my battery has about 10 minutes left. So I’m stuck using the desk computer for the first time in months.

I had a pretty good weekend. Watched a few movies, went bowling, learned about marriage. Realized I still have a crapload of stuff to do before the end of the semester. Yeah.

I’ve almost finished reorganizing my iTunes music library. I think if I ever get that behind again, I’m just going to let iTunes organize everything for me. Up to this point I just haven’t been able to let it do such obviously stupid things to my music.

Right now I’m just waiting to get off work so I can go back to bed. It’ll only be for about an hour, but it will be so worth it.

Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. Guess what call I got at 6:07am this morning at the Van Zile desk?

“Carson, can you look and see who is supposed to be replacing me?”

How ironic. That’s all I have to say about that.

There’s nothing like a 6am shift to really bring you back to reality. Ironically, I got up at 5:30 which is probably earlier than just about everyone I know except maybe my parents. I won’t be getting up anywhere near this early after I start my job with Epic. I seriously planned to go to bed early last night, but I never made it. Jimmy was watching The Core and I just kept finding funny things to look at online.

I have to say, I’ve disliked some women’s fashion trends for sometime. I guess someone finally took the time to write it down.

Anyone else ever read Calvin and Hobbes? I saw this sideways room and it made me think of the episode where gravity suddenly reverses it’s pull and Calvin is stuck to the ceiling. It’s too bad Bill Watterson stopped making the strip; it was my favorite when I was younger, which is pretty ironic considering how longwinded it could be. While I was trying to find a good Calvin and Hobbes link, I found out that the complete collection is going to be released in hardcover. You can pre-order on Amazon.com.

I wasn’t in Madison for very long, but while I was there I must have seen that stupid Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch commercial by Burger King about 83 times. I’m sure some guy pitching the idea for the ad thought it was absolutely hilarious, but all I see is one incredibly lame commercial with a stupid song that inevitably gets stuck in my head for hours. Damn you, BK! If I could really have it my way, I’d get that stupid song off of my TV. I’m still trying to figure out why Hootie sold out and what purpose Brooke Burke has in that commercial besides the obvious eye candy (oh, did I just answer my own question?). Ironically, you won’t find any mention of Hootie’s sellout on the band’s website…not unless you go digging through the message board that is. I guess some people can’t get enough of the Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch. And while it’s probably a tasty sandwich, I just wish the commercial didn’t have to suck brain cells out of my head each of the 80,000 times a day that it airs.

Cause you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
And life’s like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button girl
So just cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe,
Whoa breathe, just breathe
I finally heard it, Sheena. Great song.

My Spring Break ended about an hour ago when I got back to Manhattan to work a shift. It never seems long enough, but for once I got a ton of stuff done. Here’s the rundown.

Started off with a 4 hour drive to Albion to see Amber’s parents. Left for Madison (and a 10 hour drive) early Sunday morning, got in Sunday night. Spent 2 days looking at apartments, picked one out, and signed our lease on the 3rd day (pictures to come later). Ate lunch with a guy who currently works at Epic to learn some more about my job and the Madison area. Spent some time exploring the city, although there’s still plenty to see. Found a nice movie theater near our apartment and saw Hostage. It was pretty good. Kinda twisted, but good. Each opened a checking account so we’ll have somewhere to send our money when we close our current accounts. Found out information on utilities, cable, internet, etc. so we can figure up a budget. Yeah, it was busy. But it will save us a lot of trouble when we go to move at the end of May. Oh yeah, that’s the other thing…they’re letting us move in a week and a half early at no charge!

So Thursday morning we got out of Madison and drove the 11 hours to Andover to see my parents and sister for a few days. Things were a lot more relaxing at home. Saw Miss Congeniality 2; not as good as the original (obviously) but still funny. Amber experimented a little bit and made Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp which was pretty good, and my dad made his first full blown Emeril recipe which was also very good. Then today we celebrated my birthday since it’s next week and I won’t be home until the end of the month. I got a new TV to fit the entertainment center my parents are letting me take to Madison and a Game Cube. I can finally play the games I already own on a system that doesn’t belong to someone else. Woohoo!

Anyway, that’s the abbreviated version of events. There’s lots I left out so if you wanna hear more, just ask.

I’m so glad to be back in Manhattan with radio that doesn’t suck. Wichita radio has gone to sh*t and Madison apparently loves commercials…

My Spring Break is here! Well, almost. About any time I’ll be getting a call to go deliver mail. But other than that, I’m done. I’m hoping to have some St. Patty’s Day fun this evening down in the ‘Ville and then head to Nebraska tomorrow on the way to Madison to check out apartments.

Last night ARH debated pet policy and things actually went pretty smoothly. Considering all of the precautions we put in place to ensure we wouldn’t have a debacle like last year, that’s a damn good thing. Ferrets ended up in the policy (which I don’t like), but at the same time, I’m leaving so why should I care? The only thing that sucked is that people didn’t want to relocate to the ARCK to finish going through the policy so we’ll have to come back to it after Spring Break. That obviously means we didn’t get to the Constitution either.

I just spent 2 hours cramming for my ethics test, followed by about 40 minutes frantically scribbling some combination of actual knowledge and total BS on the short answer and essay questions. I threw Enron and Worldcom into one of my answers, I figured that’s worth a few extra points.

While I was studying, Jimmy sent me a link. I’d call it “what every guy would like to do at one time or another but refrains for fear of losing his nuts”.

And the mail just arrived. Great timing.

(Well, Jimmy is sleeping to it. It looks like a pretty good movie; I’ll have to check it out later.)

I just bought a Pepsi for the fifth time in about two weeks. Pepsi has been doing their iTunes song giveaway again. The odds claim to be one in three. But in five times, have I won? No. Doesn’t that mean I basically have to win next time? Oh wait, that’s not how it works…damn.

I guess next time I’ll just have to go to a store where I can tilt the bottle and see if I’ve won before I buy instead of getting them out of a machine. Doh!

I have one test left before Spring Break. I guess it’s time to start learning the material…
