Marc

Well apparently Adam liked his gift. Perhaps one of the "geekiest" gifts you could recieve or give.

Marc Gutman is a cool person, just because he called me a few minutes ago and knew I needed a ride somewhere. I never told him anything about needing a ride. Unfortunately he called a few minutes too late, because Molly's going to pick me up, but she has to drive from "House." The thing is, riding with Gutman to Shoreview seems so much more nostalgic. That, and we can talk like guys and be rude. We're just fuckers who fuck around.

Truman Show

The Truman Show is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. It was very original. There are enough trailers on the site that will allow you to make your own opinion on whether it's worth your time to see the movie.

We (Molly and I) saw this with Tom and Becky. We then split up into two groups. Tom and Becky going elsewhere. Molly and I going to a better place, UNOs. UNOs makes great Pizza. I hope I find a good Pizzeria in Urbana.

Hmm... I'm tired. I will sleep, I have to go to some silly temple graduation thing at the Mandir. I better update the site sometime.

(no title)

You know what's annoying? Domain names. Like things like this and this are being used for bad purposes. Read the second one, there isn't anything too offensive on the opening page, it's really funny though.

More Updates...

Odd as it may seem, the Star seems to be having the most updated information on my powerlessness. I've been checking that paper and the The Press everyday. Looks like they are down to 50,000 or so homes with no power. Edina, Richfield (I have a friend in my Japanese class from Richfield "denki ga arimasen..."), Bloomington areas have been hit the hardest.

It's interesting.

Pissed

From the Star

Moeller said that, in a few tough cases, customers might be out of service until Saturday.
Grr.... that and I can't do my damn CS assignment... because something is flawed.

Well I think I'll do my Japanese now, and then take another stab at this silly assignment. If somebody who knows a lot of C++ or a fair ammount at least could visit me (at Tom's house) and tell me what I'm doing wrong... that would be nice.

No power until Thursday?

Obviously my math does not model reality… well I didn’t expect it too do so.

No voltage for Dave

I am one of 89,000 powerless customers.

Hopefully by Thursday (when my damn CS project is due) I can utilize my home for something more than sleeping taking a shower and reading. I don't even know what to eat. I'll eat Tom. I'm at his house, I may as well... no wait... I need Tom... hmm... oh well.

So far being without electricity has taught me one thing. Reading is fun. Make that two things: The sun is nice and bright, and is a decent source of energy. Nevermind, 3 things: More research and engineering needs to go into power distribution and efficiency. Like we should be using solar power.

Graduation Party Weekend #1

Yesterday: We went to Mychal Anderson's Grad Party. That was fun. Later we went to Arthur's Birthday Party. That was fun. Then the lights went out after a transformer was jolted by an almighty god. When I went home, our lights were out too... and as far as I can tell they are still out. I didn't care too much, becuase it was sunny. Now it's dark and I have retreated to the Borcherts (one of many homes that have electricity, but the only one that had a computer to spare... must work on assignment).

Went to Eve's today for Eve Xin and Lisa Alholm's Grad party. That was fun too. Well I don't want to say anything more yet, because I should be busy.
