   So one fine day on Daviswiki, contention erupted over the shadiness factor of Campus Crusade for Christ. To help solve this controversy, Emosnail staff benevolently volunteered to do some polling on the subject, but in response noted local Republican George Andrews stated "having Fricke do a poll on Campus Crusade in EMOSNAIL is like having me do a poll on Nathan Thomas/Black Caesar/Dan Beeman Approval ratings among DCR members."
   We then posted polls both here and on the UC Davis community (ucdaivs). Ostensibly this was to ascertain the shadiness factor of CCC, but really we're just using jedi mind tricks to make you think thats our motive -- the true motive was to show that CCC would get a higher shadiness rating from the UC Davis lj community than from the readers of this livejournal (the postings were exactly identical).
   At this point, more than 18 hours after the polls began, and with 60 responses: the ucdavis community has rated Campus Crusade for Christ at a shadiness factor of 7.14, while the emosnail readership has rated it at 6.33. Clearly Emosnail does not foster antireligious mentalities.

Resistentialism
   The other day my browser (mozilla) inexplicably crashed and when it came back up, all my bookmarks had been lost. I find this very aggravating because I had quite a few things that I regularly used bookmarked. I miss the most-recent-pictures-updated-to-livejournal webpage that I haven't been able to find again. )=
   Last night apartment-mate wdsguy came home from LA, where he spends the week steeped in the adult entertainment industry (you think I'm kidding), and promptly unplugged my internet and went to bed -- presumably without actually realizing I needed it (we don't have a router because I live in a cave so only one of us can be connected at a time). So I spent the rest of the night in the computer lounge working on my paper. When I returned in the morning I was plugged in again but our internet was down, appeared to be a problem with our service-provider. When it finally came up trillian (my AIM client) crashed and burned horribly. When I was finally able to get it up again all my friends groups had been eliminated, so I now have 435 people all in one big group. I promptly created the missing groups and garnered a small amount of satisfaction sending some people to the gulag (my friends-list category of that name anyway). I believe resistentialism is taking root in my computer. Either that or its developing bovine spongeform encephalitis ("mad cow disease").

The Order of Trogdor
   EMOSNAIL is proud to present Daviswiki creator Philip Neustrom with our highest honour, the Order of Trogdor:

   Neustrom is seen here receiving the prestigious medal in the traditional ceremony. (with the medal on)
   Neustrom has exemplified the most admirable interests in promoting community understanding, combined with illustrious competence in creating the Daviswiki and making the wonder that it is today.
   Truly, if there is anyone who deserves to be on Davis Mount Rushmore, it is Phil (incidently I've never heard of four of the five people listed there).*

Weekly ASUCD Shadiness Rating
We're overdue for the weekly ASUCD shadiness rating. Since last polling, ASUCD went ahead and passed unanimously the legislation preventing members of the ASUCD judiciary from authoring legislation, and Kalen Gallagher was replaced as President by Caliph Assagai and Darnell Holloway (but not before Gallagher characterized choice voting as a disease he would squash). Here's an Aggie article on the recent adventures of ASUCD.

Shady Quote of the Day:
PrzemekP: true, but if it's possible, have him hold off, like I said, the worst possible for her would be her nominating herself
PrzemekP: haha, or better yet, if Fricke does it!
amazonjedimaster: you have enough pull with fricke
amazonjedimaster: have him do it
amazonjedimaster: have fricke nominate her first
PrzemekP: I'll see what I can do
PrzemekP: but there is a part of me that thinks Fricke might vote for Veronica
amazonjedimaster: because if you want the worst person to nominate .... fricke is that person
PrzemekP: true
amazonjedimaster: janet and i made it clear to centian people that we hate kris

*if someone wants to use the above picture to make it look like Phil (& Amie) are on the real Mount Rushmore I think that would be ridiculously funny, and um, I'll buy you a twinkie.

I caught up with George Andrews, today, recent campaign manager of US Congress candidate Mike Dugas. Though Dugas lost to heavily entrenched incumbant Bob Matsui, Congressman Matsui passed away three months later (this January 1st). It has since been a matter of much speculation as to whether Dugas is going to run again in the special election to replace him.
George Andrews informed me today that Matsui's widow will be running in the special election, noting that widows make invincible politicians. So we I then came to a logical conclusion: in order for Dugas to defeat Mrs Matsui, what he needs to do is become a widower himself! "but seriously, elections aren't won by being funny. Unfortunately they are won by evil phone banks and evil phone calls." There you have it, from the man who got Keith Shively elected. He proceeded to complain about being woken up every morning with phone calls from network reports wanting to know if Dugas is running again, and grumbled about how unruly Daily Show reporters broke his pellet gun.

PS: Trillian 3.0 really sucks. I think I'm going to try to find v2.0 again. Please note that while my away messege has said I've been in the library for the past three days, that is only because I can't figure out how to change it.

Current Mood: bad internet connection!
Current Music: Radio Cure - Losing the Signal

   So yesterday I'm standing outside the Ralph Nader speaking event talking to noted republican George Andrews when on the subject of politics someone I don't know says to me "you're an anarchist aren't you?" Then aggie reporter Stan Obklobzija asked me if I knew where rabid communist John Green¹ was and if I had anything to do with the Nader event.

¹If you could cross communism with rabies, John Green would have it.

   Former ASUCD President Sara Henry accused me of being a member of the green party in a newspaper interview, the ASUCD Ethnic & Cultural Affairs Commission once discussed whether or not I'm a republican. I dunno somehow it just seems to me to be very unclassy to clearly belong to a particular political stereotype. Anyway, time for a poll:

Entertainment Council
   Also we had an entertainment council meeting yesterday. I was actually given another title to add to my collection - I was declared to have the glorious title of "head grip."
   Also while brainstorming bands we want to bring to campus I plugged Momsex. The rest of you should help bring the ingenius creators of Zombies v Pirates to our campus by telling blushbystander how awesome they are over and over again.

Saturday
   On Saturday Kristy and I went in to Sacremento because she needed pink hairdye from arden faire mall. Sacremento freeways really are the most confusing road system I have ever seen.

   While we're headed down an escalater I notice a guy at the bottem with a hand-held video camera videoing us coming down the escalator. I figure he's videoing the escalator traffic for god knows what reason and act like I don't notice. Then after we've reached the bottem and walked fifty feet, I turn around and see the camera is STILL pointed directly at US. Freakish.

   Also I observed once again something I'd already noted on a number of previous occasions; when I had huge muttonchops whenever I met someone else who did we would nod at eachother like "nice muttonchops," but whenever I meet some random guy with a mohawk we are more likely to squint suspiciously at eachother.

   Saturday night Kristy and I stopped by the party at the Loyola House, but there were (no longer?) any bands playing, no generally available alcohol, and no bonfire. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it was an awesome party, parties there always are, but Kristy and I only had a 40 of steel between us. I offered it to Kristy which apparently impressed her greatly since she knows what a sacrifice I'd be making, but in the end we opted to roam elsewhere.

Sunday
   Sunday was Christie's b-day, so we ate with all her friends at Woodstocks Pizza (where I ate most of a large pizza), and then went back to her place in the colleges (same apartment we always go to in the colleges). After having just one beer (actually some drink the bought en mass from the dollar store!), I began to feel extremely sick.. specifically like I was way way way too full. I think it made the pizza expand or something.

Monday
   I try to keep my computer free of computer games out of fear they will steal all my time away. In a moment of weakness I downloaded Civilization III however. It appears to be every bit as excellent as I'd hoped. Now I fear for my life.

Other
   It has come to my attention that a number of persons believe in a false method of shaking their fists, one that involved moving the wrist but not the arm. This limp-wristed method is clearly false and to be avoided.

   Tomorrow, the 20th of this month, is the one year anniversery of the existence of this livejournal. Specifically tomorrow at 19:28:20.

   I'd like to officially inaugerate also the planning of my birthday party 2004, which will be in the general area of May 14th. No plans have been made yet, but need to find a place to have it and bands to play it, so tell your friends.

Quotes
"Unlike the California College Republicans, Dugas For Congress is a reputable organization.... please stop laughing congressman!" -George Andrews,campaign director for Dugas For Congress (Mike Dugas is a UCD Grad student and the sole republican candidate for his state congressional district)
