Supposedly, they will 'recruiting' Dharma Initiative members. This thing looks to blow the 'Find 815' ARG out of the water. I'm so jealous I'm not going, but at the same time I'm totally excited for another Lost-related time waster. If only this pesky school thing would stay away a little longer. Summer's already half over, which depresses me. With every day, it's harder to not think about having to go back. I probably should be doing more with my time off, though, as usual, I don't feel like the summer is being wasted. And I finally got a draft of my predisseration turned in, and by this time point next year I finally should have a couple articles to my name, so it's not all bad. We hosted our second poker night yesterday at the apartment. I had a lot of fun and things went a little faster and a little smoother than last time. And I finally won for a change. Thanks to everyone who came. I'm off to the library to pick up some more reading material, as if I needed it. If I get inspired, maybe I'll share my "to read' list. That, or I'll enter back into radio silence for another 6 months. Guess we'll have to wait and see together. (edit 5:32pm) Based on his already impressive resume, especially considering his relatively young age, I'm naming Christian Bale the best actor of his generation. I'm not even going to look at his competition, because I'm fairly confident I don't need to. http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=609824 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:41:21 EDT http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=609523 "There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter--the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness, natives it solidity and continuity, but settlers give it passion." http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=609523 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 00:30:58 EDT http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=609033 Things I Currently Fancy Things That Rock - MI Visit Edition - free Meijer grocery trips - Lemonade ICEEs - My Morning Jacket CDs - Cinnamon Fire Twizzlers - 80 degree temperatures - Clementine Izzes (in a bottle!) - Ludington/MI Adventure trips http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=609033 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 17:02:24 EDT http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=608809 40) the kooks - she moves in her own way 39) foo fighters - let it die 38) the white stripes - icky thump 37) rilo kiley - the moneymaker 36) eels - old shit/new shit 35) modest mouse - parting of the sensory 34) we are scientists - it’s a hit 33) r.e.m. - supernatural superserious 32) arcade fire - keep the car running 31) a fine frenzy - rangers 30) spoon - don’t you evah 29) the decemberists - o valencia! 28) the white stripes - rag & bone 27) grinderman - no pussy blues 26) radiohead - faust arp 25) dave matthews & tim reynolds - eh hee 24) bright eyes - hot knives 23) the shins - phantom limb 22) foo fighters - the pretender 21) david gray - you’re the world to me 20) eddie vedder - hard sun 19) stars - take me to the riot 18) bruce springsteen - girls in their summer clothes 17) the shins - sea legs 16) feist - 1, 2, 3, 4 15) rilo kiley - silver lining 14) nick cave & the bad seeds - we call upon the author to explain 13) glados & jonathan coulton - still alive 12) arcade fire - (antichrist television blues) 11) a fine frenzy - almost lover 10) glen hansard & marketa irglova - falling slowly 9) peter bjorn & john - young folks 8) death cab for cutie - i will possess your heart 7) sia - breathe me 6) johnathan rice - we’re all stuck out in the desert 5) nick cave & the bad seeds - dig, lazarus, dig!!! 4) eels - souljacker, pt. 1 3) the decemberists - the perfect crime #2 2) silverchair - straight lines 1) spoon - the underdog http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=608809 Thu, 05 Jun 2008 21:44:36 EDT http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=608770 http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=608770 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:27:37 EDT http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=608683 http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=608683 Sat, 31 May 2008 12:27:19 EDT http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=608073 Jason Rockwell is amazed at how good WGRD Bootleg '98 sounds after 10 years.

EA Sports is allowing fans to vote for their favorite mascot; the winner will be featured on the cover of the Wii version of NCAA Football '09. According to the site, Sparty is currently in second place behind Washington State (can't let them win... I don't even recognize theirs!). That means we need a good push to get him into first! The problem is that voting closes on Friday, so make sure to forward this to all of your MSU friends. You can vote once per day from each computer you are using.

Here's why: Often, I'd rather leave it in the garage instead of taking it out for a spin. I always to protect what I have instead of enjoying it. I become obsessed with the slightest blemish and spend too much effort trying to buff it out instead of looking at the big picture. While I don't mind showing people around, I'm careful about who I let in. I'd not that I can't go on the offensive if I have no other choice, but usually I'd rather stay off to the side to avoid the risk. I'm so concerned with running things at the most optimal level, never realizing that, in time, things will fall apart no matter I do. Whenever I strip everything away and realize what I'm behind the wheel of, I see what a gift I have. But I have to realize that you don't buy a Beamer to sit in the slow lane. I may come out the other side with a few more blemishes, but it's a small price to pay to avoid being stuck in first gear for the rest of my life. http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=603933 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 10:09:43 EST http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=602902 Johnathan Rice: Expanding your musical horizons.

Anyway, I was on my way to the Science Bldg. and I passed a construction worker sitting in the shade, relaxing and enjoying his lunch. I was immediately brought back to the summer of '01 working at Arrow Door, sitting outside with Chris, Fras, and Co. I remember jumping in line with everyone at the food cart outside, and the day Stashia and Christa brought us lunch. I hated that job, but sitting outside in the shade, cooling off from the stagnating heat in and outside the building, all the while savoring every last moment of freedom before returning to the floor, that's a fond memory. http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=602754 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 12:47:55 EDT http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=601872 Dailymotion blogged video#41 - Arcade Fire - Neon Bible & Wake UpVideo sent by lablogotheque http://www.woohu.com/readcomment.php?id=601872 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 16:48:20 EDT
