you know what? it's just too late...
ok well it's not necessarily 'too late' by my normal standards of when i go to sleep, but for some reason i was dozing off at work today and didn't get the nap i was planning on earlier this evening. maybe it's because saturday was so insane that i didn't get much sleep that night, and yet woke up in the morning in time to spend most of the afternoon shocking fishes and hauling a boat and generator around the chelsea area of michigan. without the power of a panchero's burrito & red baron personal pan pizza i would NOT advise combining late night outings with electrofishing. somehow i survived and made it in to work today.
ah work, yes, it still sucks like no other semester thus far (ok, maybe my first semester at Michigan was worse, but that's mainly because i was living in a run-down Day's Inn for the first week or so of the semester and Ameritech screwed up my apartment phone). luckily today there were a couple people in and out of the office so that helped pass the time...and what was the deal with the weather? i hate the gloominess. makes me think that murky and lurky actually succeeded in blocking out the sun as they planned in that movie from about 15 years back...if you get that reference you ARE old or know way too much about obscure nostalgic pop culture.
moving right along, i came home in time to chill with the roommates for a little while and watch sports center and seinfeld. i then left to pick up the massive shipment of food that was sent with sarah from back home. this was a lifesaver since it means i don't have to eat (and more importantly pay for) Tio's or Panchero's (not that that is a huge problem) or Pita Kabob for the rest of the week. even better news is that i'll be re-supplied at the end of the week when my parents come up for the Penn State game.
i was also able to hang out with sarah at Eastern for a little while and chat about such important things like how much time we waste on facebook and blogs/live journals. it's amazing the david family has successfully gotten as far as it has with such procrastination practices...oh well, if it ain't broke...
now, i realize this entry so far has been nothing more than random rambling, but you chose to read it and i'll generally type what i feel like, so deal with it. there are several stories i still need to post about, but i wanted to wait a bit since i have been talking about them for a little while and would rather bring them in as random interjections at unexpected times. believe me, this week is going to be just about all work and no play (until the latter part of the week/weekend) so i'll need the interesting stories to carry this blog through the inevitable mundane monotony of a productive week.
in other news i've been able to contribute to the time-wasting of another friend of mine, janine, who recently started up her own blog. i'm trusting she'll keep up with it (not that it's a competition in this case) so i have added her's to my link list on the right. i figure she's a member of team BOWFIN so i'll give those people the benefit of the doubt. she is a mac user though.
and what is the deal with the price of beef jerky??? while we were on our way to shock some fishes on sunday we stopped at a gas station and i wanted something salty and picked up an un-priced bag of beef jerky and it was about $6!!! what the heck goes into making this salted leather that costs so much??? it's like grade C beef, and there's no major shortage of beef anyway! maybe it's because we were so close to ann arbor, and most of the people here think meat is the devil and don't even eat cheese or pizza or artichokes for the fear of harming plants and microbes. if anyone has any clue as to why these prices are so high (maybe it has to do with rising gas prices?) please let me know as it has puzzled me for quite some time. it was sad to think i could have seen a movie (with a college discount) for a mere $2 more.
i will also add here that my sister posted in her journal yesterday that my dad, during his sermon this past sunday morning, referenced the "happy happy, joy joy" song from ren & stimpy. i don't think this needs much more commentary other than showing that my siblings' and my condition may be hereditary and that surprisingly both young and old can recognize old nickelodeon pop culture references. and now for some sugar toasted sod puffs (the cereal that tastes like a freshly mowed lawn).
so which movie would be better to see first? elizabethtown or domino? i'll definitely end up seeing both, but its quite the different crowd for both films. we shall see, there may not even be enough time this weekend, but luckily we have fall break coming up, and if there is one thing i'm good at, its fitting a max amount of social activities into a given period of time.
in closing ( i know i've wasted a lot of your time already if you made it this far) i will leave you with this hilarious video link which sarah sent to me yesterday. if you are not indian you may not find it as funny, but you should still find it amusing. i sent it to all (three) of my indian friends already and they thought it was hilarious. for the record i normally hate the original song.

nice entry solo.
i now wasted some time that i should've been studying, and i'm also going to be late to work. but i did get to read your random ramblings, so my day is set.
ps- i personally enjoyed the picture of the 'massive shipment' of food. HILARIOUS. okay that's all. oh and the planters peanut balloon was rather entertaining as well.
-"if it ain't broke...
OK, if I remember correctly Murky and Lurky were from Rainbow Brite, correct?
wow, I am old..... :)
