I strongly opposed China having the Olympics. I hated the idea. It left a queasy feeling in my stomach. Every now and then I start to fall away from the ideal that free speech is necessary. Dont get me wrong, I dont want it super censored. Just a little. I want it devoid of hate speech, How To's involving bombs, poisons, murder and rape, and troop ( Read more... )

Setting your alarm for 3am physically hurts.  I sometimes go to bed at 3am.  I never really want to wake up then.  Here are some findings about 3am wakeups

- Morning breath must happen between 3:01am and whenever you wake up because my breath was still pretty minty.

- Birds start chirping at 4am.  What the Heck Birds! (is Heck capitalized?  IDK)

Well Im in Iowa. Yup.  Iowa.

So far all I can say is I had a 30 minute cab ride from the airport that featured a 20 minute description of the nearby “John Deere” international HQ and a 5 minute spiel on how I should check out the tractor museum followed promptly by 5 mins of awkward silence.

Magestry is this weekend and my sis is going to be there ( Read more... )

Last weekend ruled.  I always love seeing the Magestry folk and sometimes more so out of game where I get to see them being 100% themselves.  Afterall many of them are way less jerky in real life than their prideful angry IG selves.  Gotta love beaver day and its awesomeness.  Never mind badmovie night.  I didnt sleep but maybe 30 minutes that ( Read more... )

 
I am officially on the Iowa project.  Huzzuh.  No wait, what’s the opposite of huzzuh?  I think the opposite of Huzzuh is Iowa.
