aggienaut: (Pope Kristof)

   Now, though earlier today I issued an encyclical urging you all not to post about your daily lives, I'm going to go ahead and do just that. But wait, before you declare me the antichrist, let me note that I bring you a photo essay -- a photo essay with drunken debauchery, people dressed up, and people practically naked! This, my friends, is almost always a recipe for an acceptable blogging. Also I already posted a less underbloggist entry today, and though I recused that one as being too recursive (being about 30 in 30 itself), I think together these two entries should meet blogthodox requirements.

   Last night Kristy & I attended both my Φ A Δ (Pre Law) formal & then Gina Scheffel's "Dress Your Best .. Or Not!" Party.

   Or see all these pictures and some more from thte party that I didn't work in here on flickr.


   For no particular reason I thought I'd link to one of my all time very favourite 30 in 30 posts now to inspire you all: Jesus Cthulhu.
   As to my best day 3 post choice, I'm not gonna beat around the bush, its going to [livejournal.com profile] apoplecticfittz again. Though original megabloggist philosophy1 frowned upon the use of multimedia as taking away from the technique & craft, it was quickly seen that the use of images very greatly enhanced the achievable hilarity in entries. Even those without digital cameras can still find images on the internet to enhance their entries, and I would say I definitely encourage this. It helps counteract the debilitating effects of TL;DR, and frankly I think some of you need to turn some attention to the TL;DR issue.
   And so my point is: that [livejournal.com profile] apoplecticfittz's post for today is a brilliant example of how a simple office prank can be turned into a hilarious blogccomplishment through effective use of multimedia.

   Another example of good use of multimedia I'd like to recognize is [livejournal.com profile] orwell_troll's first post (ever, actually). The simple addition of a 51st star to the US flag demonstrates how very simple a brilliant idea can be. In addition to the aforementioned Brent "Darth Laabs" Laabs, I'd like to give a shout out to the other people who have either joined 30 in 30 since my last post or I just forgot them at that time: [livejournal.com profile] gerbilgrrl, [livejournal.com profile] professor_david, the mysterious [livejournal.com profile] anonymous_frosh, [livejournal.com profile] punitrebel, and the venerable [livejournal.com profile] citizene (reporting from Singapore).


Previously in the Blogosphere
   Three Years Ago Today:
UCD MUN Conference 2003 - First annual UCD MUN Conference. To this day they were my favourite committee ever.
   Two Years Ago: 30 in 30 I, Day 3 - [livejournal.com profile] shekb declares the pulitzer prize "tapped out." I didn't think the entry was that funny but comments from other participants seem to laud it as blogging gold. [livejournal.com profile] lerani posted about Dennis Quaid & the Sharks, and how you can get him to touch your enemies. [livejournal.com profile] stephenl decides that “The fact is, girls can't keep their pants on when they encounter a guy who's big into anime,” which is further proven by the fact that [livejournal.com profile] shid is now engaged. Also, bloglarious as usual, [livejournal.com profile] apoplecticfittz posts a must-see entry about gummy bear porn - I swear its tasteful ::caugh, get it?::.
   Year Ago Today: 30 in 30 II, Day 3 - From the Field - Phonepost abilities unexpectedly failing me, I desperately make a post from some random person's house in Santa Barbara. Not much of a post, but I had to use maximum intrepidness to get it done at all and its the thought that counts, no?

   Its officially Valentines Day. That means that as of this moment, I have known Kristy Heidenberger for approximately three years and one hour. <3


Anything But Clothes
   On Saturday Corey Quackenbush, Cheryl Miller and their parrot Coco hosted an "Anything-But-Clothes" (ABC) themed party. Kristy wore balloons. I made myself a suit of samurai-armour out of some of the 800 flyers I still have from my last campaign for Senate ... it was like megalomania armour. Sashie wore a starbucks apron. Host Corey had an awesome suit of cardboard armour.
   Since I'd had wisdom teeth out the day before however I didn't drink. It was still quite fun though. There was also drunken trampolining. Unfortunately Sashie hurt her ankle doing this however. Anyway, I commandeered Sashie's camera for most of the party and consequently there are about a million pictures.

   Some dood from Sac State tried to drunkenly talk to me about student government as we were leaving. The only thing worse than drunken talks about ASUCD politics is drunken talks about how some other school has it better -- he was saying we should have different representatives from the various colleges and things. Silly Sac State and their less-evolved government.


   Speaking of ASUCD, one of our justices has had a family emergency. As we are kept at exactly quorum, we can't do anything without the involvement of all of them. We are currently in a state of ongoing deliberations regarding Case # 29 -- when we end deliberations the judicial codes indicate we have three days to produce the opinion. Remaining business on this case can be resolved via email but I don't know if he's going to have access to email (he's left town for the week). If he doesn't, it could be a week before we can do anything. Reason number a million that we need more than just quorum of justices.


Daviswiki Today: The Clarification Holy Wars
   Renaming things for "clarification" on Daviswiki has become somewhat of a Holy War. It started out with people renaming things like "Internal Affairs Commission," because apparently it alarmed them that they didn't know immediately what it was (there is, however, only one Internal Affairs Commission in Davis). More recently it has spread to renaming all the pages for people's pets with things like "the dog," "the rat," "the ravenous bugbladder beast of traal," etc. Wiki messiah Philip Neustrom has ruled that this is acceptable but smote down changes to make "The Anonymous Crowd" into "Band / Anonymous Crowd." Things started to get saucier when Travis "I Only Post Negative Comments in Kris' Livejournal" Grathwell ([livejournal.com profile] sivart13) renamed MichaelGiardina (who had been renaming the pet pages) to "MichaelGiardina the Person." This too, was reverted, possibly because "human" would be more in keeping with the naming convention. Once again tapping into the dark side, Darth Laabs tried to rename Sen. Rob Roy to "Rob Roy the Fucking Legend," but Neustrom was waiting with his +3 Revert Hammer. SaulSugarman has yet to weigh in.

In International News: Chad & Sudan recently ended their war over Chad's renaming of the United Front for Democratic Change to Sudanese / United Front for Democratic Change. The United Front for Democratic Change, or F.U.C.*, aims to overthrow the current Chadian government. It was formed by the combination of eight independant rebel groups who have denounced partisanship, under the philosophy that anyone's better than the current government. Libyan leader Muammar Kadafi has told Chad & Sudan both to STFU and play nice, basically. *I'm not making this up!


Towing Run-Around
   So University Imports has proclaimed something to be seriously wrong with my car's engine, and that it needs to be looked at by a Mercedes specialist in Roseville. I called around and it'll cost between $175 and $215 to get it towed there. However, (for the cheapest company at least) I can't book them directly, I have to go through AAA. AAA, however, books the closest towtruck to your location when you call them. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to convince AAA to let me go with the cheapest company.
