Good afternoon everyone,
Well, it’s time for the weekend update. Yes, I know I have not posted much recently, but there simply isn’t a lot going on in my life to post. There is only one class that I currently have, and it is going well I think. So here is the one class checklist:
Undergrad Lab- We have been playing with radioactive materials these past couple of weeks. It has been somewhat cool, using the Geiger Counter and all. However, this has been the most time consuming and tedious lab to date. The Post-report is due on Tuesday, and my lab partner and I have not finished with all of our data plots yet. That is going to be an interesting push, but I think that we should do well.
Other things have been going great. From Russia with Love’s birthday was this week, and for this momentous occasion I got her a PSP. She loves it, and I feel that I have some competition for her attention now. Usually it is the other way around, but that means I have more time to play with my laptop.
Oh, by the way, I bought a laptop.
I don’t know if I have mentioned this in other posts (I don’t have them to read over right now) but it has me giddy with delight. I just need to procure a couple of programs for it, and it will be the best tool I can think of in aiding my education. After all, I am a Physics major, which makes me a nerd of high order, and we nerds love our gizmos and electronic what-nots.

Sunday Slacking
Good afternoon everyone,
Well, I updated yesterday with all of the new things, and the ‘what’s-goings-on’ in my last week. So do not expect much of that today. Except for last night…
Last night- After work I gave one of my co-workers a ride home, and then I went to a bar and met up with some old friends, Double-A and B Dawg. We hung out and played pool until the wee hours of the morning. It was nice to see them again, especially since I have no life to speak of outside of school and work.
Robot names- I found a fun thing on the web the other day. What you do is enter a name, and it turns it into an acronym for a robot. Sounds nerdy and pointless right? And, yes, it is both of those. So being the fan of nerdy and pointless that I am; here are two names that I entered into the Robot Name Gizmometer Thingy:
T.echnician
O.ptimized for
N.octurnal
Y.elling
And-
Y.tterbium
E.lectronic
L.ife-form
E.ngineered for
N.octurnal
A.ssassination
Cool right?
Oh, and last night at work (in the seemingly endless amount of free time we seem to have) I wrote a ‘rules and code of conduct’ for time travel at the work place. Here they are, the Guidelines for Time Travel in the Workplace:
Then the rules and code of conduct are as follows:
1. Any time travel must be done off work property. Driving 88 miles per hour in the parking lot is prohibited.
2. If you go back in time, and wake up me before 8 am, your time travel privileges are null and void.
3. If you travel back in time to the night before, you must take me with you so I may have a beer with myself.
4. Any rips, tears, fluctuations or wrinkles in the Space-Time Continuum are the sole responsibility of the traveler, and not the persons in any past or future time frames.
5. If you go forward in time and wish to procure future delicious ingredients for a pie, you must share this pie with your fellow co-workers.
6. You must also share the recipe for the above said Time Pie.
Lastly but not least, I noticed something on the freeway today that made my ‘ways to publicly announce that you are lame’ list.
-I saw two bikers that actually had ‘Wild Hogs’ embroidered on their jackets. Yes, from the lame ass movie with Jon Travolta. It’s bad enough that they have to have the embroidered jackets, but the lack of creativity and taste? Come on people…
That’s about all the blogging I can muster for the day everyone, so good night and good luck on the Monday. Oh, and one more thing before I go:

I Don’t Mean To Be Getting Lazy With This Thing…
Good evening everyone,
Well, you are all probably wondering how my week has been. So here is the update on the lot of it:
School- This is going well I suppose. I am still waiting on the results of the last lab project that I did, and I don’t think that the outcome will be bad, if not fantastic. The homework part has been a pain in the ass however. For every assignment there is a minimum of 2 to 3 hours of work outside of class. That has eaten a lot of time as well. That is also the story of how I spent my Memorial Day holiday. Doing homework…
Work- What there has been of it, it has been pretty good. Things are going smoothly, and I have the entire week off from Monday to Friday. I was supposed to work today, but blessed be downtime that saved me just in the knick of time.
Other things- This has been probably the most eventful part of my time. Aunt L. had come in from California, and she spent a quiet couple of days here. It was nice to see her again, especially since I that missed the opportunity of her company the last time I was in California. Bubbles had come into town as well from Las Vegas, and Dr. MookieLove and I had lunch with her on Friday.
So, in between work, there has not been a lot going on aside from that.
Speaking of which, I did not get enough time to spend with either of them. I only had lunch with Bubbles, and did not get to hang out with her and party like I wanted to. Also, I did not get any real time with Aunt L. until I took her to the airport. But it was nice to catch up with the both of them while I had the chance.

I also purchased all four of the Lethal Weapon movies. If you have not seen these, they are tongue-in-cheek kind of action movies that are all kinds of fun. From Russia with Love will soon agree, as she has not seen any of them (and fell asleep during the first one).
Last but not least: 1 day left until the premiere of The Venture Bros. season 3!

What Now and Then…
Good evening everyone,
Well, so far lately I have been handling this blog like a Dead-Beat Dad. I visit only on weekends, and even at that, I pay limited attention. I know I promise more updates and such throughout the week, but just like the Dead-Beat Dad, those promises are hollow and broken eventually.
School and work are going pretty much at the same pace and consistency, so I will not bother with updates on those.
Oh, and in case you were wondering (I highly doubt it) the diet plans have officially failed. I really am trying to avoid Fast Food, and I do a relatively good job usually, but nothing healthier than that has diffused into the daily routine.
Speaking of being in good health, my brother’s girlfriend Cheese-Cake got herself into a pretty nasty car accident the other day. From the news that I have heard, she should make a good recovery. I have also heard no other news, and as they say, “no news is good news”.
So for the remainder of this post, I will do a couple of movie reviews. I have had a little time to watch some, so here we go:
Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull- When going to see this movie, you have to remember what the original three consisted of. That would be over the top and crazy plots, cheesy and impossible action, one liners and fast paced adventure. If you rate this movie just on those criteria, it succeeds. But in comparison to the quality of the others, it ranks up there with Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom. And even that, is still a compliment. It could have easily been up there with the other two, but the last 20 minutes or so basically killed that hope. When they were starting filming on this, they said that they were going to film it like the original three, with no CGI, and using only blue screens and props. That did not happen at the end though, with most of that being CGI. That leads me to believe that it was a last minute change, and not what was originally planned. And even keeping the plot ending the way they did, if they had just changed a couple of shots it still could have saved the movie. But over all, I did enjoy it and remember: for what Indiana Jones movies are supposed to be, it is pretty darn good.
Chaplin- From Russia with Love wanted to see this one, and I am glad she did. I really liked it as well. It tells of the life and times of Charlie Chaplin. It covers his rise to fame, the consequences of, and his various jail-bait love interests. All of this was excellently done by an all-star cast. Check it out. If nothing else, its an entertaining movie. But if you are looking for something more than simple entertainment, it goes there too.
That will do it for me tonight folks. I will be back with more tomorrow. If you can bring yourself to believe that…

About A Sunday…
Well, good evening everyone.
It was supposed to be a hot one today. I don’t remember what exactly the temperature was supposed to be, or what it was for that matter. But it was hot. This excites me, because as you all know, I love summer. From Russia with Love calls me a lizard. I can just sit and bask in the hot desert air for hours.
Summer time also means (here in Utah at least) that it is time for the seasonal festivities. Aside from the standard national holidays and such, we have our own special summer fun, and it runs almost completely to the verge of winter. I am talking about, of course, road construction. Where, at the right time of day, you can see people in their cars, sweltering and sweating in their little metal hot boxes, all stacked at ends in a sea of orange cones and orange signs, all crashing on the bluffs of heavy machinery.
Road Work Ahead: Use Caution
Work is going well, despite a few hang-ups. The first, being that one of my co-workers slipped in our break room and tore a bunch of Latin Words in her knee. And when I say that they are objects with no English name, that means two things:
1. That they are small and had to be ‘discovered’ so to speak, by someone who is a doctor and also slightly pretentious.
2. That any damage to these things is going to be excruciatingly painful. In fact, I would not be surprised if these things have salt and lemon juice, and those automatically rub into the torn area.
So, I am here for a grand total of 12 hours today, and 8 yesterday. Thankfully it was on a weekend, and a weekend when From Russia with Love is out of town. The only other thing to complain about here is the fact that we may have to do away with one of the shifts on the desk that I work. That means even more phone time… sigh.
Annoyances Ahead: Use Patience
The upside of this is the fact that I am going to be off for most of this week, and I will have more time to spend with my girl (I love you honey!). And not only that, but my friend Bubbles will be coming in to town this weekend, so I will be spending at least one night partying hard. And not only that again, but my Aunt L. will be coming in this weekend too! And I don’t have to work much at all!! Hoorah!
Reunions Ahead: Use Excitement
School is going well actually. Not having a class start until June is nice. That gave me some more free time to get some things in order that I needed to do. Most of them have been completed, like Artie’s new cage, and I only have a few more things to go before all is right with the world. Or at least my ‘room world’ anyways. But as soon as the second week of June hits and my other class starts, things are going to go back to the old ‘busy school days’ again. The class I have now is supposed to get drastically tougher, and the math class that will start soon is a little ‘compacted’ for the summer schedule. This is going to make things quite hectic.
Long Nights Ahead: Use Coffee
That will pretty much do it for me today. I know that most of this can be seen in yesterday’s post, but I just don’t have a lot to tell. Unless you really want to know the dirty details of my lab class error homework, or the staffing grind at my work… yeah, I thought not.
Pointless Post Above: Use Disappointment

Mental Junk Food
Good afternoon everyone,
Well, here I sit at work on another slow Saturday afternoon. Everything is going well, and I am going to be covering for a co-worker tomorrow who had fallen in the break room and injured her knee. Needless to say on this subject, I am going to spend the weekend here, in this chair, and not much of anywhere else.
I am taking two classes this summer, and one of them is in full swing. The other does not start until the second week of June. So here is my one class check list for the day:
Under-Grad Laboratory- This class (if you could not guess by the title) is nothing but lab work. I always get messed up in labs, missing a little of this or that here and there, but this should be fine. Word around the camp fire on this class though, says that it is a tough one. We will see how the out come is. I was in the first session of the lab yesterday, and it was not bad at all. The professor and the TA are much more helpful than in past experiences, so I have high hopes for this one.
Everything else is going fine. Work is just work, the same nuisances, free time, friends, problems and stress. Not much to say about it for the time being.
From Russia with Love is at an Indian Dance Getaway Thing for the weekend, so I have a lot of time to spend on nothing late at night. That means it is usually time to watch terrible tongue-in-cheek horror movies. So, last night, that is just what I did. I was sorely disappointed. I watched The Nun, and it was an hour and a half of painful bad acting, plot holes, bad special effects and illogical twists. I was hoping for some kind of humor, any kind really, and emerged angry for missing any sort of television that might have been on during that time. Even an infomercial would have been better…
And lastly but not leastly, I thought that I would do another quiz thingy from another blog. Yes, another one. I’m sorry if you get bored with these things, but I do enjoy them from time to time. I do promise you that this blog will not turn into just these however. So, here we go,

They don’t. Unless you happen to be from Russia, with some imported Love, then from time to time it’s ‘Tommy’. (Just kidding honey! I love you!)
50. If you were to become famous, would you drop your last name?
Why would I need to do that? In fact, a lot of famous people are known by last name only…
51. What is your name?
What’s it to you, and who wants to know?
52. What is your quest?
What’s it to you, and who wants to know?

St. Nicholas
???- 5/11/08, Mother’s Day
Nichol-Bear, our Holiday Dog; you lumbered into my Grandfather’s yard one Christmas Eve after being hit by a car, and you could not have picked a better place to wander into that snowy and cold night. The family you chose was the best one a dog could ask for. An Eden of spoils awaited the remainder of your years, and you lived every one of them to the fullest a dog could, never wanting, and always loved. We gave you all we could, and we never gave up on you; ever.
We gave you every fighting chance and then some, but alas, dear Nick, some things are left to the judgment and will of God alone.
Those blue eyes wandering, thinking, cleaver and curious will forever charm us, and the way you rolled in the snow and liked you chin scratched will always remain a tribute to life’s simple pleasures, none of which you took for granted, and brought those moments to share in the happiest times we had.
You gave us many years of mischief, laughter, adventures and love. You will always hunt and gather with this pack, and your paw print will never fade from our hearts, a print of vitality, luck and fortune.
We love you always Nick, and you will be missed.
