Introducing DJ!
Everybody, say hi to DJ, a longtime friend and newest member of the blog. Allison, you met DJ, he was at my farewell. I don't know if any of you other farewell attendees met him - he was the one with the laptop and the camera who came from Denver. He was wearing a tie with the emblems of various Star Trek political entities on it. And a short-sleeved shirt.
ps. He goes by Yakko Warner here.
pps. He knows French.

Pizza Pachanga!
Ay yi yi!!
So I know it's short notice (but hey! it's Tuesday! and there's a war on...)
but clear this Saturday night if you have anything else planned. Seriously.
I'm inviting my Bloggees to my house for PIZZA PACHANGA. What's a Pachanga? According to Jeremy Sheetz, a Pachanga is a "mad big party" which Hispanic people love and cherish. Well, it's time we whiteys got in on some of the fun.
**Where: My house (call for directions)
**When: 6:30-7 or 6:37. Until the cows come home.
**Who: If you're reading this, then you.
**Why? What do we really know about anything, really.
**What to bring: I'm providing 2 pizzas. Call me if you'd be willing to bring cheese, pepperoni, peppercinis, olives, etc, and we'll make a mad big pizza in addition to the bounty of Papa Murphy. Also I need delegates to represent drinks and desserts. Please call me.
Cool? Cool. Summer! Huzzah!

I think that went fairly well.
For anyone who missed it, is bored, and really wants to hear it, my good friend DJ from Denver (Yakko Warner here on blogspot) brought his laptop and recorded it, so I actually have an mp3 of it available.
ps. Did anyone else try the curry mayo on their sandwich thing? Because I did, and it was awesome.
pps. More like, you write a book about comeback jokes, NERD! (That episode totally has a bunch of the most classic lines ever. BALEETED! Wha.. oh. DELTEATED! No? uh... Del Taco?)

about:blank = virus?
So my paren'ts computer is driving me crazy because it has decided to not work correctly...or perhaps it's ill. I donno. Anyway, if I try to download or upload anything the window suddenly changes to about:blank and everything freezes until I hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete. If I'm working on something (say my powerpoint project for my class due Tuesday) and it decides to freeze I lose all information that is unsaved. Now, I'm pretty good at saving things but when it's happening so frequently there's really not much that is worth saving. I have alos tried to add to my site this week (as well as to not poo) but none of my pics will upload because of this blank issue...any suggestions short of taking the proverbial sledge hammer to the darn thing?

Effective Summer
Are you tired of having less effective summers?
Summer is a short 14 weeks from Memorial Day to Labor Day. In order to get the most from your summer it is essential that you adopt just 7 habits.

Dilemma
So I've just been offered a job at a music camp (in Michigan) for the second half of the summer. I applied mid-spring semester and they told me that they didn't have any more room for me. Which wasn't that big a deal. I was looking forward to having the second half of my summer free to do whatever I wanted. Only now I don't know what I want to do. It would be a really cool opportunity -- I'd be a counselor and possibly (have to send in an audition tape) playing in some of the ensembles there. Would look good on a resume.
The question is, do I want to give up my lazy summer for it?
I wouldn't have been having this conflict of interest if they had offered the job to me before summer started.

I Knew This Would Happen. :(
We are all 1) Not in Utah anymore 2) Not in Salt Lake anymore 3) busy with one or more new jobs 4) leaving on a mission, of all things 5) or otherwise "distracted..."

Boring.

I broke down.
There comes a time in life when you look at the shoes on your feet and say, "Eight years is long enough, Chuck Taylor."
I purchased new shoes yesterday. I never buy new shoes. It was a sad day. I'm on my third pair.
I got my first pair at the beginning of my freshmen year in high school. I wore them everyday and, in so doing, wore the soles off them in nine months.
I got my second pair at the beginning of my sophomore year in high school. I didn't wear them as often but often enough to love the shoes.
Time passes.
Chuck Taylor Converse All-Star becomes popular to wear. I dig them out of hybernation. They start the get holes in them. Straw that broke the camel's back=the guys at work were giving me a hard time daily for a couple weeks about the condition of my shoes.
Thus dawns the third era of time.

A Little Summer Reading
In my summer class we are reading one of my favorite authors Jonathan Swift. If you've never read _A Modest Proposal_ you should, it's brilliant, and makes me laugh. (Caution: Read with an eye turned toward the satiric sun)

The Black Hole = Awesome
Friends Share the Pain
My friends. In life, friends share joy. They share laughter and lobster.
Now it's time for all of us to share the pain, the burden, the strain of it all: we must, as a group, acknowledge the existence of He who must not be cool.

The poetry that is Panic! at the Disco
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen, well,
He's still so young, he's desperate for attention.
I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys trophy wives.
No, it's much better to face these kind of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
In fact I'll look at it this way. I mean technically our marriage is saved.
This calls for a toast, pour the champagne.
Make us it make us hip make us scene or
Shrug us off your shoulders, don't approve a single word we wrote
Oh blessed objectivity.
Prescribed pills to offset the shakes to offset the pills you should take.
