I just saw my old Foxcroft history teacher (now academic dean), Mr. Suitor, on the random TLC show What Were You Thinking?! It completely caught me off guard … I’m sitting there, eating dinner, flipping channels, and there’s this show on about weird things people do all over the world. A segment about a wife-carrying contest comes on (they didn’t say where), and seconds later my mouth drops open when they show the American team … I know that guy! It’s definitely him too — he talked to the camera and everything. Wow. Too bad they lost the race about 2 seconds after it started lol.

For anyone who reads my blog through a feed reader or who didn’t notice the blue box in the sidebar, I caved and am now a member of Twitter! Yeah it’s basically an away message for the web and isn’t much different than that of AIM, Yahoo, etc., but it sounded fun ’cause you can update via your phone and stuff. See my page here — and if you’re a member too, feel free to add me

What the hell FrontPage. Don’t go automatically inserting height and width tags (which aren’t necessary) for the hundreds of images of the online journal, especially after I’ve spent forever making the site XHTML 1.1-compliant in Dreamweaver and helping the future online issue coders get away from evil tables and deprecated code *sigh* At least I had the articles all to myself for a couple months. I wonder how else FrontPage has decided to “fix” things for Nicole and whoever else has been editing …

It’s so bright outside … but that’s ’cause there’s snow! 3 inches of it! And no school or work! Haven’t had a real snow day in a long time. All I have to do now is convince myself to do work instead of playing online all day. Wheee.

Oh yeah, and my dad got us Phantom of the Opera tickets! I have no idea how good the seats are, but it doesn’t really matter … just going will be cool. I think the last time I was at the Kennedy Center was in middle school. Yay.

This was brought up in a meeting today, and was news to practically everyone there … apparently daylight savings time changes in 2007, and goes from March to November instead of April to October. WTF? See the specifics here. This is gonna throw so many people off.

I think I just fried the card reader on the work vending machine lol. I wanted some lemon Dasani water, but right before I could slide my card through, my fingerless gloves (the office is freezing) shocked it … and it turned off! Didn’t know that was possible — I hope I didn’t break it permanently!

Squeee Kari and Grant from MythBusters are coming to Bridgewater tomorrow night! Except I have no idea how to get there and am supposed to be having dinner with Jessica when it starts … meh. Maybe we can start 30 minutes earlier.

Note to self: Get this at some point.

Edit: I made it! Actually found the college, visitor parking lot, and auditorium without much effort at night, so that was cool in itself. Their talk started an hour late due to a flight cancellation, but once they finally got there they answered questions and showed 2 clips from the flatulence myth that they couldn’t show on TV (one with Adam literally igniting his flatus lol). Here’s a small list of MB-related things I learned:

• Jamie and Adam don’t really want a big boom — Kari, Grant, and especially Tory are the ones who enjoy it the most
• the most disgusting myth has not yet aired
• the most expensive myth was the exploding cement truck
• before MythBusters started, Adam always acted like a camera crew was following him
• as far as anyone knows, Jamie has worn a beret and had a mustache since birth
• the only people with college degrees related to the show are Kari (art) and Grant (engineering)

Afterwards there was a reception where I got their autographs and a blurry picture:

So glad I went, even though the 2 people who would’ve come with me had to work. Yay MythBusters!
