Resistentialism

   So early in the afternoon Shalane and I set off to take Mike tHH to jail in Orange.
   Then we went looking for this place the cobbler called "craft-fors" that was at McFadden and Harbour and supposedly had cheap docs. Well we get there and find a "crawfords," but there waren't no docs there. So I bought shoelaces instead.
   Then Shillelagh's friend (future roommate) Lori made us food while we watched the only segment of Pulp Fiction we'd both seen already*.
   Then them kids shleffed their stuff into their new apartment while I bollocksed about with Megan. The end.


*I think this is a good example of resistenialism, the theory that inanimate objects demonstrate hostile behavior against us. [from Latin res (thing) + French resister (to resist) + existentialism (a kind of philosophy).]

Today in Civ 3
   In the year 1275 we launched our first Man-of-War, the Rhadamanthine, from the town of Bilgewater.
   The technological superiority cycle continues with great success; 47% of total state revenue now comes from other states paying to be taught our Blehtesque science (369 gold), and 66% of the Blehtite budget goes to science.
   In other news, most of the world is now at war with the French, and I've captured all the Zulu Russian possessions. They've finally created knights, but now I have dragoons (cavalry), muahaha.

Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now?

Should I Stay or Should I Go Now?
   So I was planning on going to the AMPAC MUN conference Thursday through Saturday or Sunday, and then returning to Davis.
   I call the Secretary-General, Nishan, today to find out whats going on, and find out EVERYONE backed out from the conference, and if we go it would just be him and I (from our school anyway). And I got the strong impression he'd only be going because he felt obligated to go with me...
   AAAnnd if I don't go, since I only have class on Tuesdays and Thursday and can't possibly make it up for class tomorrow, I'd have FIVE extra days of break. Well I mean I'd have them anyway but I'd have five extra days just to bollocks about. That increases my spring break by 71%!

   As of right now I really don't know what I'm going to do. /=


Rats
   Kristy got us two rats the other day. We're trying to decide on names now. I'm favouring Delilah and Lorelei (sp?), from songs by Flogging Molly & the Pogues, respectively. Kristy also likes Clemintine, from the recent movie A Spotless Mind. Then there's always The Sneak (compare of course to "The Cheat" from homestarrunner.com).
   Other names on "the list" are "Lolita," "Rilo" and "Kiley," "Keeley," "Melee," "Francesca," "Angelina," "Jolie," "Jolene," "Leela," "Leia..."
   Any other recommendations are of course welcome.
