I always waste far more time on my second day off. I wonder how I can avoid doing this in the future.

I'm so lazy when picking my mood. I think I usually just grab something close to the top of the list.

Today I went to the Crowley's Ridge Nature Center for Geography. I also baked a zombie cake based off of Brian, who you will see if you scroll down that page a little.








As usual, ignore the messy stovetop; I'll, uh, clean that up soon.

Currently I'm trying to study for big test tomorrow.

Note to self: assess the car and get a license plate. >:(

There was a VW car show at K-Mart and some sort of gymnastics demonstration at the mall today. I was at the mall to get some coffee in Barnes and Noble and saw a Harry Potter-themed chess set for sale. I had to do a double take because of the picture on the back. It was of two kids playing with the set, but were they thinking over a position? Moving a piece? Setting up the board? Nah, they were bashing two pieces together. Wut. A chess set is not an alternative to a bag of action figures. o_0

Of course, that might just be me being picky (I apparently do that sometimes) so here's a tidbit everyone can enjoy. At school, they've finally moved the cigarette butt depositories 20ft from building entrances. The trash cans however are right next to the doors like they've always been, so that's where people huddle around to get their puff on, and that's where they throw the cigarettes when they're done. I fervently wish to see a fire before the end of the semester. :D

Based on Josh's glowing recommendation, I rented Metroid Prime 3 for the Wii ($6! What is the world coming to?!). I really like it, but between work and school I'm not really getting to play it. I could buy it, but I'm not sure I should.

Nay had her wisdom teeth out and is doing good, I think. Mama Julia is up here to help take care of her, so I get some good food out of the deal. :D

( TMI about Zach's sex life here. )

I've been brooding about money lately. All things considered, I'm roughly 60k in debt with a year left in school. Nay says not to worry about it, but it's hard not to.

Reason #234 Zachariah fails at school: reading textbooks is HARD. mrf, mrf, mrf. My ASM book came in today, but the mailman put it in our box. Which normally would be fine, but he puts mail in from the back, and it fits there.....but it doesn't fit through the front, which is what I have the key for. So I get to wait for him tomorrow, or else write a note and tape it to the box asking him to bang on our door.

I need some more shirts or something, I constantly feel like I have none to wear. It probably wouldn't be so bad, but I don't like wearing my "Pirates get a lot of booty" or "Women have boobs!" shirts. They're funny enough, but I always feel like girls look at me and think, "Ugh." Probably they do.

Mom wants to have a cake business. I'm ambivalent about this.

I find it really weird that Kum & Go, the corporation I work for, has a myspace account.

I've registered for 12 hours this semester, which starts next Monday. I'm nervous and hopeful. o_0

Metal Gear Solid 3 is freaking LONG. I'd originally rented it and Hitman: Blood Money to play a bit of both, but I ended up playing all of Hitman and not even touching MGS3. Which is fine, i think, because I'm now 5 hours into the game, but only one of them consisted of me controlling anything. So. Many. Cutscenes. x_x

I cooked a turkey, and it turned out really well. If only cranberries were in season.

I've drooled a lot over the iPhone, and thought a little too long about buying one, but I just realized that I already HAVE a phone, and for that money I could buy a PS3. Or pay off some hefty credit debt. Or buy 3 months of groceries. Or help Renay buy her car. Or any one of dozens of things that are infinitely more useful than buying something I already own. Which isnt to say I'm going to stop lusting for the iPhone. A kid came in the other night with one. His mom apparently waited three hours in line for it. I was able to resist touching it in most creepy manner, but only just.

Someday I won't be so materialistic.

I got woke up with French Toast (is that supposed to be capitalized? hm) this morning, and the first thing I did was whine about how non-gentle the wakeup was. What a lame boy I am.

I've been obsessed the last week or two with Creme Brulee, and I have no idea why.
