Dangerous music

Well, today is the last day of my 6 day Memorial Day weekend extravaganza. The whole family (pretty much all of them, at least) came out to visit, I got a lot of stuff done around the house with the help of my parents, and I have had ample time to relax and sweat these last few (hot) days.

Not long ago, I set up a MySpace profile for the good ol' jug band. I took the initiative, but Mike delivered the goods, putting up a couple of the songs we recorded in the dank basement of Risley way back when, along with some amusing photos that will no doubt prevent us from ever running for public office. Enjoy the JugSpace page! Hopefully more recordings will be uncovered and posted in the future. Time these damn kids learned what for about music (and stayed off my lawn!).

Holy crap, where has the time gone

Nearly two weeks without a post! Jeez. Sorry. It's not that things haven't been happening lately, it's just that nothing of great consequence has happened. Let's see, now.

A Cornell alum friend clued me in to a place where you can vote for the college that Alex Doonesbury will attend. Looks like her (or Trudeau's) choice is down to MIT, RPI and Cornell. And Cornell is way behind, so get clicking, true believers!

I hosted a fun party on Friday night. That's the thing - I rarely host parties, but they always turn out good. Need to stop being a hermit/shut-in. Also, I'm preparing for an onslaught of family visitors this coming Memorial Day weekend. I'll end up with a six day weekend! Friday and Saturday I have the obligatory projects lined up (otherwise known as "dad, can you help me with _____?"), then Sunday and Monday it'll be visitors galore, leaving me to sleep it all off on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

Also, I got the most hilarious pissy email response when I wrote to complain to some woman who brushed me off. I probably should have kept my mouth shut, but then I would have missed the fun!

In other news, I promise not to be such an angry jerk anymore, because this is becoming more like a LiveJournal with each word I type.

Cornell, home of nerds

It's good enough for Alex Doonesbury, apparently. The fact that she was considering RIT was major news on campus. Is it a selling point for your campus when a fictional comic strip character might want to attend? Only time will tell.

Dorks rejoice

In case you haven't heard yet, the original Star Wars films are being released on DVD. For a limited time only! Crazy. I'm not sure what to do, honestly. Buy these individually at somewhere in the $25-30 range, or spend $50 at Target for the Special Edition Original Trilogy DVD set? Maybe I can wait until they are on sale as previously viewed DVDs at Blockbuster and buy all three for $25. This is what I did with the Lord of the Rings movies (I know, I lose mega geek points for only owning the theatrical versions, geez).

In other news, why aren't any of you leaving me comments anymore? Has corn become the next internet fad come and gone?
