Wii

I know you’re out there. I’ll find you. I swear.

On the way home from Thanksgiving Kaela spotted an abandoned property along WI 151. We decided to pull in to the cemetary adjacent to the abandoned farm and take a look around. Amazingly, the previous occupant of the house was a teacher at Green Bay West High School in 1965. I graduated from there in 2002! I took a good number of photos of the excursion. Take a look!

Title says it all.

I am jonesing for a Nintendo Wii at the moment, but they are all sold out. It appears that whoever has been living in my room has been doing so in abject squalor for quite some time. There are two major projects I have to have done in the next 48 hours. The first is a presentation on German concentration camps and the other is an oral interpretation of Goethe’s classic Faust. My iBook is still suffering from video problems which I have not gotten around to fixing. The main theme from Dune is currently playing in iTunes. That is too bad because I was thinking about The Highlander. For Thankgiving I will be in Pardeeville, Wisconsin. Where is my acceptance letter from Philips-Universitaet Marburg, Deutschland? It has been almost eight weeks since I sent that application out. Maybe I should shave before going upstairs to watch [adult-swim] on Cartoon Network. Dethklok is by far my favorite show in that programming block. Now the Overture from Katamari Damacy is playing in iTunes. I’m getting hungry and there is a caramel Drumstick waiting for me. I spent way too much at Joe’s Sample House this weekend. God, I really want a Nintendo Wii…

Vader Graph

Because his true history and identity is shrouded in secrecy few people know much about Darth Vader. Obi Wan Kenobi was able to obtain the above information about the Sith Lord.

Dude

Wow. I haven’t seen this thing since high-school. This was back when Flash just became a useful quality web content standard… and Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back is still the best of the trilogy.

Prefixes are additions to root words that change the meaning of the word. In English these prefixes are not uniform in their alteration of meaning. For example take the prefix “in-.” In- can have both positive and negative connotations. Add in- to the word “credible” and you have incredible, which carries a positive connotation. Add in- to the word “competent” and you have incompetent, which carries a negative connotation.

This is what I think of when I am bored.
