Unauthorized Access

If your last name doesn't consist of only one letter, you might not know who this is, but at the same time, are probably not really as interested in that as you are in reading some sort of witty remarks written by a complete stranger. I, for one, have always enjoyed reading a random blog and scouring it for random bits of humor.

So I'm sitting here at school, having a VERY hard time finding things to do between classes. Unfortunately, I was unable to avoid having a great big two hour break in between classes. Study, you say? Yeah, more like read, browse the bookstore, dink around on the computers, walk around aimlessly, read the newspaper, doze off, read more, and find out that I still have an hour until my class starts. This will not happen again next semester.

It occured to me yesterday that Amanda and I probably watch entirely too much TV. You know you have a problem if you remember what day it is by what's on. You know you have a really BIG problem if, besides that, you still have to check out various seasons of shows from the library and speed through them at an alarming rate.

Speaking of TV, I found out something I never knew yesterday. When something on the TV says 8/7C it does NOT mean 6M/5P. This may seem obvious to some, but somehow it escaped me. If the powers-that-be don't want shows to be pushed out of prime-time on the western portion of our country, why don't they just put it at 8 pm across the board? By making the show begin an hour earlier in central than in eastern, they are creating a false pattern. I'll begin lobbying for legislation prohibiting this widespread lie.

I'm going to regret this.

So I don't even really know how this works, yet somehow those of you that will read this have convinced me that I need to be putting my life out on cyberspace.

Who can really say that they don't like Cheerios? Even if by some miracle you don't like the stuff in the big yellow box, it's called "Honey Nut" or "Multi-Grain" or about 6 other things as well.

You know, I've been wondering this for a week and it's still bothering me. Probably because there's one of these ridiculous things sitting on the desk, watching me, mocking me. What are those Russian dolls-within-dolls-within-dolls-within-dolls-within-dolls called? They are weird. I can't say I'm a huge fan of knick-knacks either, but my sister DID bring it back from the other side of the world.....

So we've got the pinewood derby coming up in two days. For those who don't know, Amanda and I are in charge of the webelos cub scouts in our ward. It should be a fun time, especially since we just got a new cubmaster who actually knows what he's doing and who has prettymuch taken over. He called us up this evening and wanted input on various awards that we could give out on Saturday (apart from 1st 2nd 3rd etc.). I really wish I had more creative ideas to give him, but all I could come up with was "coolest paint job". Hopefully a bit more creativity stems from his end.

Filling up a decent sized post has been more difficult than I thought. It should be interesting to see if I can actually keep a blog and post on a regular basis.
