Hey all I made it here ok.
A word of advice for anyone planning a transatlantic trip - go Scandinavia Air!
I took an airbus from Chicago to Copenhagen and damn, I thought I was in first class. The economy class was roomy, had a touch screen tv in the back of the chair in front where you could watch any of about 12 different movies, listen to a bunch of radio stations, surf the internet (for a fee) look through cameras mounted facing forward and down from the plane, or play video games on the built in console. There was a NES like controller built in which also doubled as a pay phone so you could call people from the plane. And this was the economy seating!
Go Airbus!
So yeah, me here, safe, happy...

Oh, and Par, the posting form didn't work on index2 from Keri's new laptop - IE6 SP2

Later!

aw yeah... no sweat. There was like 8 minutes to spare!

(shit, I wish people happy birthday in almost the same manner as I do class assignments...)

HAPPY PARAS DAY, BIRTHDAY-BOY!

Shit... did I make it on time!??

i never get sick of the creativity of everyday people

hey Par.
i might not be on time to rock your party at the Publik as i am already commited to see "Little Conan O'Brien's" play. Here's a hilarious invitation- to which consider yourself all formally invited. (ANDY IF YOU WANNA SEE IT GIMME A SHOUT)

Dear [You],

How's it going? Yes, it has been a while, hasn't it? We should probably meet up and do something! But what? Oh, I know! We could go see a movie! Oh, you've already seen "Hitch"? Hmm. We could see a play! Hold on...let me just check the listings...
Here's one: "West Side Story". No, you're right - the Citadel is too pricey...hmm...I guess if you really wanted to see something we could go to one of those one-act plays that the University's putting on next week. Here's one! It's called "Bad Timing". Word on the street is that it's long and clumsily written - there's a winning combination, no? It also says here that it's written by a guy named Leif Oleson-Cormack! He's got the exact same name as me - that's a pretty good sign! Oh, you're not sure which showing you'll be able to go to? That's okay - i'll go to every single performance and wait for you to show up. Here's the info:

BAD TIMING
PLAYING AT THE TIMMS CENTRE - 2ND PLAYING SPACE
TUESDAY, FEB 15 10 PM
THURSDAY, FEB 17 8 PM
FRIDAY, FEB 18 9 PM
SATURDAY, FEB 19 10 PM


Admission price is 5$ for the entire festival - which means if you want, you can see all the plays (many of which are quite good) as many times as you want. Tickets can be bought at the door or in advance at the HUB info desk. Friday and Saturday shows tend to fill up fast so getting there early helps.

how's about we celebrate by not driving our cars individually

Hey, in addition to it being Lithuania's Day of Independence, it is also the day that the Kyoto Protocol finally comes into effect. Hooray! So... how's about we celebrate by not driving our cars individually, and perhaps turning the heat down? ;) ha ha! yay anyway!


And... Albert, it's actually quite entertaining to read your gripes about bureaucracies when you're not actually in one... Bureaucracies are fun! And I'm not just saying that because I am a bureaucrat... honest! Besides, you can't slam them all. Some bureaucracies actually work, even if there is a ton of red tape. The problem is that politics get brought into the chain of command... with that, everything goes to shit. but whatever, I'm not here to slam or exault bureaucratic workings, I just thought it was funny, coming from an "insider's" point of view.


and... it's "breathe" "breath" is the stuff that comes in and out of ones' lungs, when you're not calling it air or something of that ilk. when you need a verb, it's "breathe"... with an e That's one of those commonly misspelled words that really pisses me off, so i thought i'd finally say something about it.

Bring mine tomorrow.

Thanks everyone. Lithuania's Day of Statehood has never been so special *sniff*.

To the Thinkgeekers, the package came yesterday. I can bring it to Chili's, along with your tabs.

Robin Williams on the Disney/Pixar split.

Fark gets to name the Fleet Center for a day. Winning name here (I wonder if they'll allow that.)

Still on 7)
