It's not unusual

FOR Matt, Lodrick, and I. to just.  Engage in a "conversation" where we just...make weird noises to eachother.  Like.  those big long-necked dinosaurs in Jurassic park.  Long high falsetto tones, low grones...moos. They just spontaneously begin.  At some random hour I'll hear a grumbly moanish sound and I'll respond with a yipyaw this or that and...It's really just bizarre.  Great bonding though.

I had my midterm today in 261.  It was 40 questions, all multiple choice.  It was way too easy in my mind.   I didn't exactly break my back studying for it, so I suppose I could be grateful, but at the same time, I've got a desire to...assert my awesome and separate myself from the pack.  I struggle with taking tests out of rivalry and vain conceit.

The take home test for my linguistics class wasn't due today as I had thought.  So I get the opportunity to further review it and not worry about it the next couple days as others might have to...that's good right?

I'm not writing as enthusiastically today as I have been the last few days.  Bah.  I'm tired.

We are watching this superman show from the 90's entitled "Lois and Clark."  We have been intermittently all quarter but tonight was the first time in awhile.  It's pretty entertaining, and the main mom from desperate housewives, Teri Hatcher, is Lois.  She is actually more attractive now at 45 than she was 17 years ago.  Lois and Clark are the archetypal star crossed lovers and it drives me insane.

After my four hour stay at the library refining my take home test that wasn't due today, I ran into Matt and Lodrick.  Matt was able to guest me into the commons and I ate to my hearts content.  It felt good.  They have this pretty awesome pita platter thing there.  It's like...pita bread with a heap of hummus, cucumber, tomato, olives, and some other dressing that looks like ranch with all of the fat sucked out of it.  I also had a Mediterranean chicken salad thing (I basically followed Matt around and picked up whatever he did).  After finishing what I had already I retrieved a couple of slices of pizza.  Then some weird chocolatey banana bread (awesome...), butterscotch cookies and coffee cake, with chocolate milk (The kind that you buy that's already chocolatey at the store, which for some reason is always way more awesome than any chocolate milk I could ever make for myself).  If I had a meal plan, I could easily gain fifty pounds this year.

I spent a relatively short amount of time picking out the clothes I would wear today as I anticipated another monsoon (in fact, the sun was out nearly all day) so I felt slightly less attractive than usual in my least favorite pear of jeans, glow-in-the-dark t-shirt, switchfoot hoodie, and brown jacket.

There is a girl in my linguistics class whose name is Lauren, whom I almost myself was Lauren Stanfield from Hanford, California.  But facebook has proven this to be false.

I am trying to limit my time on facebook for the next few weeks.  Getting my addiction under control.  I am going to limit myself to one visit ever 24 hours, and this not for more than half an hour.  At least for today I've had success.

The week in fantasy football was a great success.  Even if Tommy had updated his roster I would've creamed him.  Even with Randy Moss putting up a goose egg and now being thrust onto the waiver wire.  Legarratte Blount proved to be a worthwhile risk (I sat ryan mathews...he's been sitting the past few weeks, but Bradshaw was on a bye, so I considered it).  Thank you Michael Fabiano.  I'd be feeling a little more uneasy with my 2nd round draft pick not currently on a team otherwise.

As election day draws to a close, I'm not optimistic about the senate race.  Murray is ahead by 30,000 votes or so and it feels like, even though it's a 2% lead, that these sort've situations don't end well.  Especially if your candidates name is Dino Rossi.  61% reporting...we'll see.  Kitsap County went Rossi by a margin of just 38 votes.  Even though that's an irrelevant fact, it's still pretty exciting.   

GC is tomorrow night.  I'll do some house cleaning and day planning.  I just found out that the discussion questions for the night are posted on the church websites facebookyish feature "onthecity" in advance of our meeting so now I can study up and own the discussion out of rivalry and vain conceit too (sarcasm!).

I need to get into the Word today still.  Matt can sing at least a perfect 4th higher than me in falsetto.  I am envious.  But I have got an octave on him whistling.  My falsetto is more pure anyway.  I could pass for a girl way before him.
