The Interblags

Well, not too much has changed on my front over here. I'm still reading Atlas Shrugged and it is still amazing. I forgot to bring it to my house for two days and it was missed dearly for both days we were parted. It's that good. Read it. Anyways, other than those two days,and I say this in complete seriousness, my life has been fan-freaking-tastic. There is really nothing that could make it better, save school starting sooner. Well, on second thought, I can't really say that the two days were totally terrible. I went down to the dugout with my roommates to make common decks of magic cards for about 3 dollars, which is always fun.

"Mr. Rearden," said Francisco, his voice solemnly calm, "if you ... saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood... his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down on his shoulders – what would you tell him to do?"

"I...don't know. What...could he do? What would you tell him?

"To shrug."- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

TITLE

My, my, what a titillating title. Anyways, I moved more things to my house yesterday, including all my favorite books, my desktop and another chair. Plus we hung up this massive picture in the living room which has been in the family for awhile, mostly in the sense of people desiring to get rid of it. In addition to all that, I may have found a solution to the whole terrible heat of the house, as is well known by Ryan, I know you're reading this. My dad and I pumped some R-22 refrigerant into an old A/C unit we had at the hardware store. The thing has a slow leak, on the scale of months rather than days or hours. Plus the thing will actually fit the wall unit on our house, wheras the current device is far too small in is most likely running inefficiently as a result. But enough of that, I almost died last night! The rain and wind was so terrible at around 830 last night that I almost came to a stop on I-94 because I had zero visibility. Needless to say, I made it home alive regardless, but while I waited for the storm to die I bought a copy of rise of nations for myself. When I went home I proceeded to LAN with my brother and nuke some computer nations senseless. Fun times. Hopefully D+D tonight, we'll see.

The Longest Update Wait

So, in my gracious magnanimity, I have decided to update this obscure blog among blogs. Much has happened since I last updated. I went to the greyhound bus museum in Hibbing, MN. I biked on the mesabi trail in northern Minnesota. I conquered the world, in both the modern age and in the classical age as Alexander the Great. I found some sweet glasses which perfectly match my prescription. I moved into my house. I did some research for Dr. Lidberg at SCSU. Well, that is most of what I have been up to. Oh, forgot to mention I'm reading an amazing book which I highly recommend to ANYONE. The title is Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. I have been addicted to this book for the last 11 days. The addiction is almost as bad as when I read The River of Doubt. Anyways, I am about 1/3 through and already I know the rest will be as high-quality as the beginning. Read this book. It will change your perception of the world. It's already done that to me. SO yes, I will try to update more often from now on, I really do like writing on this thing. It's almost like a journal. But, to whoever reads this still, adeiu.
PS, woah, did you ever have one of those days when you wake up, put something on and only realize what you're wearing like half-way through the day? That just happened to me. Hell, I could have been wearing a porcupine for hours and not noticed at all.
