Chicago (the city, not the show!)
My game room conversion is coming along very nicely, but needs some additions to the room that Chicago, namely IKEA, will provide nicely. One of the four major malls is right by IKEA also, so it's going to be a very nice day.
Message to IKEA lovers
If you want stuff from IKEA and want to avoid shipping, let me know and I can grab it for you!
Postscript: *yeesh* This post might have made more sense if I had explained that I'm going up there Saturday!

Desperation
It's amazing what happens when you're desperate. My latest desperation was getting rid of the crazy hutch so we can have more garage space and getting rid of the four dining room chairs (I'm replacing them with more folding chairs). Eric rang Goodwill since they give donation receipts for tax deductible purposes, and they said they would pick up the items.
Who said they'd be here a 9am? Do they not realise how asleep I am at that hour, especially after this exhausting week? I never heard them, so Eric rang my cell 4,541 times until I got sick of hearing it and answered it. The news that Goodwill was standing on my doorstep, ready to leave, sent me into panic mode enough to just throw open the door (yes, I'm in my nightclothes) before I even thought. After about 2 minutes of awkward silence, I managed to get out that I didn't realise they would be here this early, and if they drive around back, I would run up and change.
I really hope that I never see them again. I'm 99% sure they thought I was a completel freak.

Nasty Horrible Beastly Intolerable Flour Bugs
Did God really create these things? They must have come with the Fall of Man because I see no purpose for them except to waste Lysol on them. Lots and lots of Lysol. I lost my Rye, Wheat, and Pastry flour to them. I also lost a box of Bisquick to them, but I was more enraged over the loss of the other flour. I'm not even sure why we have Bisquick, to be honest. The survivors of the Flour Bugs of Doom were my White, Bread, Cake and Pasta flour.
The transition to airtight canisters is clearly a necessity.
Stick around for more news of Marian's eventful life.

Ribsssssssssss
I am so confused why the Flamin' Shrooms has not discovered Sheehe's fantastic, out-of-this-world, forever-glorious ribs before last night. Trust me. You must nag him to fix them for you. He had two racks, and they disappeared completely within 5 minutes with 6 people. It was very upsetting for all of us to look up for seconds and be peering into an empty dish....
Actually, everybody's dish was pretty much perfection, but the ribs must take first place.

Halloween Party
In case you haven't been to the gaming forum, there's a party conflict on my planned Halloween Party on Saturday, October 30. The choice seems to be between the prior Saturday or the Friday before the 30th. If you plan on coming, which I hope you are since it'll be fun costuming and prizes along with games, please give us your opinion either through the comments or the forum. I have some non-computer geek friends, i.e., SEP, wanting to come as well, and are waiting to see what works for the SEP gang.
Thank you :)

Tragedy Strikes
My little break from school has taken a turn for the worse, and I have rejoined the forces of evil.
*two more courses...two more courses...two more courses*
Tragedy is an understatement when I realised that the current prof requires papers and other paraphenalia on Tuesdays, rather than the more convenient and traditional Wednesday. Let's see...Monday night is Tae Kwon Do and weights, Tuesday night is STOMP (yay!)...so my conclusion is that I will have to complete this first paper in the mornings since the TKD after school programs have begun.
I believe I shall meditate on my outline by watching another Highlander...

Broadway Rocks
I really wished I lived in NYC in order to have access to stunning shows like Chicago that played at Clowes Hall tonight. You would think that after the movie, it would be tough to still make the musical really awesome, but this company did it...with a bang :) It was a great way to end the weekend!
If you're wondering if Ellen still liveth, she did fantastically at Oranje. Hopefully, she will be able to come out of her Studio for air now...I got a totally awesome table there too for the pending game room in which we're converting the dusty second bedroom. It's all very exciting...

Love September!
September is the beginning of Fall, with festivals, fairs, events, and shows. That alone creates a bond for me, but it's also the beginning of school, which means my Tae Kwon Do after-school programs start today. While that's exhausting, I'll be glad to be much busier.
Penrod was a successful fair in the sense that I only bought three smaller things. No mortgages on the house had to be made, or selling of cars. I was extremely proud of myself, especially since Oranje is this weekend, and I can lose more control there now. While I'm slighly panicked over getting my Oranje outfit ready this week, party Friday, watching Ellen's booth at the French Market Saturday, then Oranje Saturday night, I'm thrilled to have things to think about besides school. So, no complaints from me right now :)

Diverse Music
The music for the weekend has been very diverse, but fun. Thursday involved listening to Marko, and his friend from Paris, Matthew, play gypsy music at the Melody Inn. They were playing for the rock band break, but were immensely popular. The crowd kept yelling for more, and Matthew would say the song name, and everybody would yell with excitement, even though they had no idea what he was saying :)
Last night's music involved following up the Rathskeller to the Slippery Noodle for a couple hours of excellent Blues. Even Matt was impressed, which is impressive. Now Eric and I go hear the River City Brass tonight at Conner Prairie. Three different and very cool live music bands three nights in a row. That calls for an excellent weekend.
PS I was highly complimented on the way to the Slippery Noodle when Matt told me that I drive like a European. I was relieved that I don't drive like crazy Americans!

Double Take
Some people shouldn't be allowed to graduate, especially when they say retarded statements like this. I can see how individuals may not understand the differences between HTML and scripting languages, but I see little excuse for this brainless statement since the lecture stated the differences, and several people clearly discussed the differences.
Please laugh or mock or something because I want to cry that I am sharing the same classes with creator of the statement...

Yahoo is supported by HTML scripting, which allow individuals to complete many things that require that scripting code.
