Alright, this blog has gotten pretty boring lately, which really means only a handful of things, but I feel like I should update the blog and explain exaclty what it means and what has caused the decline.

I realized when I wrote the XBOX post that I hadn’t posted about my upcoming summer with the Southwestern Company. I am tempted at times to say that it is a job with them, but it is not. I am working as an independent contractor operating my own business. This is interesting considering that this is also labeled an internship by the company, the University of Florida, and sure… me too.
Here’s what is involved in this nebulous thing that I am doing this summer…

I have an XBOX.
Finally, after patiently waiting for one for so long — praying for one even — I have an XBOX. The best part about it was that I didn’t have to pay for it.
With a tremendous effort from Joy and the love and cooperation from a number of my friends I won an XBOX and XBOX Music Mixer.
Now, if I only had some money for games, controllers and such…

Today was media day for my IMDL class. My robot wasn’t finished to specifications that I proposed at the begining of the semester, but it seemed to be a mild success at the demonstration.

The last two weeks I’ve done a ton of shopping for clothes. I don’t normally buy clothes all that often as I tend to procrastinate on that sort of thing. I guess being a pack-rat also contributes to it. I keep my clothes for a long time, so I rarely feel like getting new clothes. When I do though… I get a lot.

Today I am trying out this suggestion that Megan gave me over a week ago. I had done a canned food drive several weeks ago and dropped a glass jar full of spaghetti sauce. When it hit the ground it splattered all over the pants that I was wearing. I’m not exactly the stain expert, so I sought counsel from the 301 girls.
Megan told me that in her family they use 409 All Purpose Cleaner on their clothes when they have really bad stains. She said it worked every time. So, I went out and bought some last weekend and I am giving it a try today.
Let’s hope for the best.

This is an older Friday Five that I saw and really wanted to do, but never had the time to sit down and give it it’s due.
So, as you can imagine, it is quite long. Don’t start it unless you’ve got some time to read.
If you…
1. …owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?
2. …owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?
3. …wrote a book, what genre would it be?
4. …ran a school, what would you teach?
5. …recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?

I had problems sleeping last night. I was tired enough to go to sleep, but I kept popping in and out of sleep. It seemed like someone was on my mind the whole time, because everytime I woke up the person was in my thoughts. I would usually toss and turn and eventually drift back into unconsciousness, but still this person was on my mind somehow.

Today, outside my back patio a gorgeous hawk came and perched on these low hanging vines that we’re hanging above the creek in my back yard. It was really cool looking, and it took a break there for over a half an hour. This gave me plenty of time to try to find my camera, but I couldn’t. Frustration! Anyway, it was awesome, and some friends of mine got to see it with me, so I got to share it with someone.

Last night I had a pretty amazing dream. I was some kind of soldier or something, because I was running through this huge forest with a sword.

I watched Real Genius again tonight. It has been a long time since I’ve seen this movie, which used to be one of my favorites. I have to say I got an entirely new set of pleasures and realizations from watching it this time.
