The Agrinautica

   Where to begin? Its been a very long day. I guess the first lj-able event of this 24 hour cycle was at 1am last night. Kristy made me eggs and bacon at 1am. <3


Cartoons
   Among the cartoons Annie (pocketbookannie)turned in to the Aggie to apply for the cartoonist position was one with me in it. Nick (littlenick) apparently saw it and was like "haha thats really funny... only I'm not sure it would be funny if I didn't know who Kris was" whereupon some completely random person walked by, looked at the cartoon, and was like "hey thats Kris Fricke isn't it!" Moral of the story: yes perhaps it wouldn't be funny if someone here didn't know who I was; but I don't think thats a proble. (=


Quotes from Nuclear Physics
   Student, to a friend, regarding the reading - "you know, I actually read some of this - it was pretty interesting!!"
   Another student - "What's the Soviet Union? I don't think that country exists any more!"
   Quotes from the teacher (remember your slight danish accent) - "a piece about the size of a baseball should just about do the trick if you're having a bad day" ... "these are secrets everyone knows" and regarding the merits of working on nuclear weapons "you get lots of money to play with... you're surrounded by big fences that protect you from people with stupid questions... and the designs are kinda cute." He said more funny things in previous days but I wasn't keeping track of them until today.


ASUCD Adventures
   Ran into Vicki Swett in the MU today. Vicki Swett along with Marc Champagne (who's role is so devious he isn't even listed on the ASUCD webpage for me to link to) are the true controllers of ASUCD. Vicki Swett carefully manipulates campus politics so that our ASUCD officials both feel like they are in complete control and do nothing that is not in accordance with Vicki's wishes. Marc Champagne is the Gray Eminence of ASUCD, holding definitive power over ASUCD finances and maintaining the most low profile role as possible. Many high ranking ASUCD officials haven't even seen him. I once was sent into his office on a perilous Entertainment Council mission once however.
   Anyway, as I was saying, I ran into Vicki Swett in the MU. Vicki - "Do you need to sit down with legal council about this case? (the real lawyers) Me - "nah, its a relatively simple case ...[the Plaintiff] does want to overturn the whole legislation though" ::Vicki immediately goes from nausiating cheerfulness to icey death looks:: "look Kris you're a bright boy.. I know you won't let the Court do anything stupid again ::extremely piercing death stare:: ...we WILL get our lawyers on this if it gets out of hand." me - "uh, yeah.. its under control" ::excessive bubbliness again:: - "alright keep up the good work.. see you later"
   Yea she's not trying to influence the Court one bit. Needless to say I have no intention of mentioning to the Court her threat.. it could only cloud their reasoning.

   Because we can't get enough Justices together to meet quorum on Friday, the Hearing has been postponed to Tuesday, a week from today.


Birthdays
   Today is everyone's favorite Russian (Sashie, AKA Sloshie) birthday. So we're all going out to eat. Today is ALSO everyone's favorite Croatian (Chris "Croat" Plancic)'s birthday as well... his 21st!! My friends in OC are for definitely getting wasted tonight. They called me to consult on beer purchasing. Wish I could be there.
