Hmm…

Today is one of those days when I must remind myself why I’m still in school and not out living the glamorous lifestyle of an aerospace engineer, free from exams and pasta diets. I am referring, of course, to next Monday’s dreaded CFD exam, designed to crush the GPAs of mere mortals. What’s worse, this week has been filled with obscene levels of procrastination and sloth… time to get my ass in gear. Look, the stress is even causing me to be needlessly profane. Feel free to send me stern, anti-slacking e-mails.

Ahh, but to keep things in perspective, there’s always timecube.com, a site that truly defies comprehension.

    The only reason that you can’t comprehend Time Cube is because you’ve been EDUCATED STUPID AND EVIL by EVIL ACADEMIA. Time Cube exists in Nature, but your 1-corner Academic brainwashing indoctrination prevents you from recognising this. You must learn to doubt the Cubeless lies that you have been forced to believe — only then may you know the Truth.

Springtime in Champaign

Is that a robin I hear? Are those frolicking rabbits I see? No, it’s three inches of Wintery Mix to signal the arrival of springtime in Champaign.

    Dear lord. I’m not coming in May if it’s still snowing. Sunday was rather satisfying - good game, good Oscars, goddamn economics test tomorrow. Hope you all are having slightly more fun :-)

    Rabbits don’t frolic—they multiply!

After a crazy romp through the Frontier and Show Me states, we’re safely back in the Land of Lincoln. Despite promises of roaming buffalo in Oklahoma and wax museums in Missouri, both states offered little more than ADULT VIDEO LIQUIDATOR OPEN 24 HRS roadside attractions. Maybe we should venture off the highway next time. On the upside, the roads were generally well-paved and we managed to see the arch.

In other news: MARYLAND!!! FINAL FOUR!!!

    I have been informed that Missouri is, in fact, the “Show-Me” state. Pardon the oversight on the part of my editorial staff.

One night in Austin

Posted by Glen in on 22 Mar. 2002, 2:04 am

I ate a great steak, took in an incredible DJ set by Fatboy Slim (one of the best I’ve ever seen), and Duke lost to Indiana. Who could ask for anything more?

Right about now

Finally, I’m going to see a live set by Norman Cook. In Texas, of all places. Other strange happenings include: man wearing only G-string walking down downtown street (gahhh), and Paul Oakenfold mix on radio. Again, in Texas. Or is it still the Republic of Texas? The state flag invariably flies as high as the U.S. flag here.

The other night we went to the Alamo Drafthouse, quite possibly the Greatest Movie Theatre Ever. In addition to being a quirky independent theatre, they’ve replaced every other row of seats with tables so people can eat dinner and drink beer during the movie. We saw the Royal Tenenbaums, making it an altogether successful moviegoing experience.

    Ah, the Alamo Drafthouse. Home of the yearly Tarantino film fest (hosted by QT, not with his movies) and homebase to fat Harry Knowles of the formerly cool website, Aint it Cool News. A fine choice of sites to see. I applaud your taste.

    So that would explain the hillarious short film that showed Tarantino giving an “unconventional” interpretation of Top Gun.
