Checking out Gizmodo as I often do, after my long day of crazy -- had a morning filled with Circle K emails, mom insisting adamantly on getting our tags renewed because the world was ending or something (it ended up taking 15 minutes, she expected a long line. There was no line -.-) and also a bunch of Circle K stuff in the afternoon. Then, in the Cleveland area, hung out with Panda for a while and saw Captain America for 6 bucks a person. That was one bad movie. But back to the present, I WANT THIS ! The green in me combined with the adventurer in me combined with the couch potato that needs his cell phone wherever he may go -- a Solar-powered Cell Phone charging Backpack! Awesome Awesome Awesome!!! News Article of the Day: White House rickrolls followers after person tweets at them complaining their briefing is boring . As you can imagine, the actual headline is shorter -- but is effectively the same thing. Bahaha, hilarious. I love this White House. Here is the actual twe...

Trying to do artsy things in the time I find by myself. I have so many interesting things at my disposal, I really want to use them all as much as they deserve. My drawing pad, my subscription go the Star Trek: Online game, etc. So I start to write this on Sunday morning (where I have plenty of time to myself at last) and I thought I'd throw in some quotes I found interesting. Quote of the Day: "To keep your sanity and balance, break your own rule every great, long, once in a while." - Blog featuring the drawing program I like to use. Another one comes from a Star Trek book I'm reading. (I bought 5 Star Trek books while I still have my Borders Rewards card. $60+ value for 10 bucks, free shipping! I'd say that wasn't too shabby.) Top left and top right have already arrived. I've actually owned two copies of the middle book already, one fell apart in like 2003, the other lost in the fire :( But this copy was a whopping 1.04 so yayz! "The peo...

As with every summer I don't spend in a foreign country, this year has been a dry one for blog posts. It's not even that I don't have the time, I just feel I don't have that much to blog about. I want to keep as much campaign and Circle K stuff off of here as possible for fear of it getting into the wrong hands. And those have pretty much been all the interesting things that have happened lately. (This is an image from a Katy Perry music video, and not an actual picture from last night. I know in the past there has been some confusion.) Last night Sarah had a summer party which was fun with some exceptions. A bunch of random people who don't normally come to their parties ended up coming (and a bunch of regulars were no shows, most of them "Andrew's friends.") So I am crushed that Borders is closing :( I love book stores, I want them to always be around, and I don't want eBooks to take over! And I have a fierce sense of brand loyalty, I wil...

Finally, the conclusion of a series you've all been waiting for! No, not Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (Part Deux), the third installment of my 30 Truths-blog series! ( Part I , Part II ) 21. I follow all 4 of the Charmed Ones' actresses on Twitter. ( Shannon Doerty as Prue Halliwell; Holly Marie Combs ; as Piper Halliwell; Alyssa Milano as Phoebe Halliwell; and Rose McGowan as Paige Matthews) 22. My favorite febreeze/air freshener is always Apple Cinnamon! 23. My worst fear is sliding on ice in a car. It used to be driving over bridges, but one day I just decided to get over that and suddenly it became cool. But sliding on ice in a car freaks me out, for some reason I always imagine the car has alot more momentum than it really does and it's just going to crash really hard into something. The very few times this has actually happened and resulted in a collision of some kind - it's almost always been at like 2 miles an hour and no damage. Still, FREAKS ...

Dang, well June was a dry month for blog posts -- but only because I've been so busy with Circle K and campaign stuff! International Convention in Virginia Beach was a blast, with a million stories to tell another day - suffice it to say, our club came out of it with more than it's share of bruises and tickets. So it's the weekend before the 4th of July, and I'm planning a barbecue for the 4th itself to meet the neighbors, invite some Stow friends over so that we know people, and invite my friends over to ensure we have a good time regardless of whether any Stow people actually show up! It's also given us a reason to speed along the 'making-the-house-presentable' process. For example, we may get a Patio table and Stereo today. It's under consideration. I'm a bit stressed out: What if no one comes?! I'll be a party planning failure. And we'll have more bags of chips than we know what to do with. Video of the Day: Haha, in my LSSP group...
