Time without updating the website sure flies when you are busy with school. That said, I am indeed busy with school. I have to hand it to mother nature, though - today is a perfect winter day. Big fluffy flakes have been gently falling all day, the air is cold but not too windy, Christmas music from the little cafe in the science building can be heard echoing off the concrete floors, spreading cheer to floors above and below. I will be doing homework between now and the beginning of Christmas break, but nevertheless I am sure something exciting will happen to me that I will be able to write about. In the meantime, here’s a quick Dane Cook bit I had to type. (My favorite is the part about the exhaust.)

Sometimes you meet somebody and the second you meet them, the second you are introduced, you just get that feeling, just like you hate each other’s guts. I happened to have had that situation recently, I was driving around in the CT 2004 and I was driving by Burger King (or the BK Lounge, as I’ve been known to call it … I have a history of that) and when I saw that sign glowing in the night, I thought to myself, “I’d love a chicken Sangwich right now” … [shuts up a heckler in the audience] … I started thinking about the chicken Sangwich inside there, and soon it could be inside here, and that filled me with glee. So I pulled in and I went inside to order my chicken Sangwich and this is what happened between me and the counter help there. Ok, I’m standing there and I’m waiting, and I don’t know this guy yet, we have not met in the past. And, um, I’m thinking about my chicken Sangwich, that’s all I’m thinking about. And then I look up at the menu, and I have to say this, I don’t know who the photographer is who does the french fry shots … he’s fantastic. He’s fantastic, he’s the best! Just the way the fries are shootin’ up outta there, they’re dancing out of that box, like they’ve just been freed from some kind of purgatory. Those fries look like a glamour shot, they’re just fantastic.

So I’m standing there and I’m thinking Chicken Sangwich, now I’m startin’ to think Fresh Hot French Fries in my belly as well. And it’s making me feeling very proud. So I get up to the guy and, right away, there’s that vibe … it’s that same vibe that you get with any auto mechanic you’ve ever dealt with. Even though you’re listening and nodding, in your head you’re like “this guy is f*ckin’ me big time.” You just believe whatever they say; “Yeah we had to replace the roof on your car, it resented the rest of the car, so we replaced that. Also, there was a tiny unicorn in your exhaust and he was jumping and poking holes in your exhaust, and he was sh*tting in your filters as well. So we had to get that out of there.” Wow, thank you very much. I did not know that there was a tiny mythological animal jumping around in there … that’s very dangerous. Sh*tting in filters, no way. Especially with a road trip coming up, that’s very dangerous. That little son of a b. How much is that? Seven thousand? I was going to suggest, I’d like to pay seven thousand’ish, I’d love to pay for that.

Anyhow. I hope you are all well - let’s charge through to the end of school for this year!

I love Dane Cook. If I had to guesstimate, I would say I have listened to his CD one-thousand times.

Enjoy your spagetti, your very rude.

Dane Cook is awesome. You have to see his comedy central performance. It's one thing to see or hear or read something by him, but another thing entirely to see him perform it.

funny quote, and im gonna back up nils by saying yes it is far superior to see him perform than to just read/listen to him

Jelly? I don't even like jelly. Who eats jelly? What IS jelly? I don't even care.

That's great, there's a great vibe in here right now. It's like daddy just hit mommy at the dinner table and were all trying to eat still.
