50th Post Spectacular!!!
That's right, amigos: This is my 50th blog posting!
Unfortunately, I get the feeling that I'm celebrating with an audience of one (myself). Seriously, does anyone actually read this anymore? I haven't had a comment in months. Maybe it's just because I haven't written anything comment-worthy. Maybe it's because my readership, which, let's face it, at best, was minute, has diminished and or vanished. Is that way too many commas in a sentence? So anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that if I don't get any comments on this post, then it will be my last. Maybe if I get really bored some time in the future, or feel like there's something really important I need to say then I'll revive this blog. Otherwise, I guess this is it. So what kind of note do I go out on? I'll leave the little music/movie thing at the bottom, because I kind of liked that. In my first post, I said that I didn't want this blog to just be about my everyday life. I don't know how well that worked out. Honestly, how much can you say about the world that hasn't been said before in some form? Heck, even that's been said many times before. So I guess to finish I'll just run down a few highlights of the past week or so. Wednesday I went and checked out some of the gravity games here in Cleveland. It was a free admission day and I got to see bike dirt and street and skateboarding vert practice. Very cool stuff, and a lot of fun, but it's a shame that nobody wanted to go with me. Thursday and Friday I was supposed to fly on the KC-135 again, and being weightless is always fun. However, mechanical problems caused the flight on Thursday to be cancelled, and time only allowed one flight on Friday. Our experiment didn't work again...go figure. So I had fun just floating around and stuff. I have a few cool movies thanks to Jon's camera, so let me know if you'd like to see them. Friday night I went to the Jurassic 5 concert here at Case, and last night I saw Phantom Planet at the Agora. Both were decent. Like JP said, though, it seemed that we fit in more at the rock concert. Next Saturday hopefully I'm going to see Yo La Tengo, and then October 12th is Coheed and Cambria. So yesterday I had to get up early and drive down to Columbus for a "flight test" for my flight and orbital mechanics course. We basically flew around in a Cessna and did some different maneuvers. It was fun, but not quite as exciting as the KC-135. A side benefit was getting to visit with my brother in Columbus again. We basically just ate and hung out for a few hours, but it was good. So now it's Sunday and I'm faced with the reality that I haven't done any work since Tuesday, and I need to get back into school. Oh well, I guess that's just the price you pay. So how do I wrap up my blog? Like American History X (0.5 sucks), I guess it's best to end with a quote, so here it goes:
Do you want a soda?
Mmmm?
Mmmmm??
Aw, screw it, I tried.
Current Mood: Let Down
Currently listening to: Showbiz by Muse
Last movie I saw: Eurotrip
One line review: Definitely not good, but not amazingly bad either; amusing.
On a scale of 0-5 sucks (0 being the best): 2.5 sucks
