I just opened a pack of Welch’s Fruit Snacks of the Mixed Fruit variety. The problem? The only flavors inside were strawberry and orange … there’s supposed to be like 2 or 3 others (maybe grape, lemon, and/or apple)! I swear, the vending machine in this building keeps getting weirder … first, half the things it offers are stale (randomly), and now this. WTF?

Wow. Just heard about the Virginia Tech shootings like 5 minutes ago from Brad, and now I get an email from the Hanson street team, of all things, asking if everyone’s okay. I Googled for an article, and found this. At least 21 people are dead (22 including the gunman, who opened fire in a dorm and classroom this morning) in the “deadliest campus massacre in U.S. history.” Again, wow … read the article for more info. I hope the people I know there are okay!

Edit: The death toll is now at 29 … another article.

Aww yay, Soundic Radio just played new Hanson! I was sitting there doing math homework, and all of a sudden the opening notes of “Go” start playing and I’m like wait, is this what I think it is? And it was! This is the first time I’ve heard anything from The Walk on something that wasn’t my own music collection — and of course that something is based overseas — so props to Sweden for knowing good music from bad

I don’t know for sure … but I noticed that my last paycheck was close to what I made when working full-time over the summer, except I’m currently part-time ’cause of school. Aren’t they supposed to tell you things like this? The employee manual says they review everyone once a year for raises, but I have no idea if that actually happens. All I know is that I worked about 40 hours over the 2nd half of March, and when that’s divided into my paycheck amount, the answer is definitely not what I started at and might even be the maximum amount allowed for students. So unless they made a mistake or something … yay!

I just got my highest score ever in solitaire: a 730! This beats my previous record of 715 (which happened in like high school), and was obtained using the “draw one” method and standard scoring in an untimed game. I also didn’t have to click the neon green circle to go through the deck again at all, which saved 100 points. LOL go me.

Edit: According to the comments on this site, the highest score possible with the above criteria is 745 — sweet! Now the challenge is actually reaching that.

Last night on 81 on my drive back to Harrisonburg, there was a Porsche (I think) in the left lane going slow and not caring, so I passed him on the right ’cause there was an even slower truck coming up. But that was only the beginning. For the next 20 minutes or so, the Porsche and I played leap-frog: I’d pass him, get several hundred feet ahead, then he’d speed up and either stay beside me or get right in front of me, close enough that I had to brake a little bit or get in the other lane. The weird part was that I had cruise control on and going 75ish the whole way … couldn’t figure out why the Porsche had such a large speed range. Either he was drunk, had little experience on the highway/with the car, or was trying to tell me something (couldn’t see his face ’cause of the way the car was shaped). He finally exited/slowed way down after I looked over for a few seconds during one of his flanking maneuvers and tried to figure out wtf he was doing

I’ll have to make a list of the questionable things I’ve seen on 81/66 when I’m done at JMU.

I’m currently #59 on the 100 Most Prolific Bloggers list! Probably won’t be on there for long since there have to be more people out there with at least 1,000 posts (are you one of them?), but yeah, it’s still cool — sometimes I forget that 6 active years in the blogging world has a bit more meaning than that of real life
