Re-organization

The first two paragraphs are programming notes, skip down for the normal stuff.
You know, I’ve become very lax in updating this blog, and the website in general, mainly because I env er had much that I really wanted to do with it. Sure, I could blame it on the fact that I’ve been in school almost the entire time I’ve had this thing working, but I won’t.
Basically, I haven’t regularly updated this blog this entire year because I decided sometime in December since all I ever ‘do’ that’s ‘worthwhile’ happens on the weekends, so I should only really write the WEEKEND UPDATEs. However, due to the fact that the weekend ends Sunday Night, and I rarely was able to write before Monday afternoon, fully three days after the start of weekendular events, I’d normally have forgotten enough details to make writing something meaningless. Therefore, I’m moving to an daily blog schedule. This doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll actually update every day, but that, unless for some reason I can’t get to the computer on a day and I still want to write about it, I’m serializing any kind of update– there will be no multi-day crap. But blah blah, none of this actually matters, if you are actually reading this, you probably want to know about what’s going on and not blog paradigm shifts.
So, on Thursday, we had graduation practice at 8AM. (Check out pics for, uh, pics of it.) My garage door didn’t open, so I bumped to Hot 96.3 (blazing commercials and weak pseudorap, dangit) in the Range Rover. Nazzy and Matt and Sean were at the top 20 breakfast at the Saint Alphonsusosauruswhatever church hall, so the rest of the crew had to eat breakfast in the school cafeteria with all the rest of the unwashed masses.
So, we had sausage and egg casserole, breakfast variants of generic Arby’s potato cakes (breakfast variants in the sense of served at breakfast as hash browns instead of at lunch as potato cakes), and some assorted tropical fruit, milk and OJ. Dang, I wish we had that kind of fruit everyday, though the prepacked peaches come pretty close. It was far too early for the pseudo-LTC to be funny. (On a related note, this sentance originally read ‘it was far to funny for the pseudo-LTC to be early’, which oddly gives a good sense of what the conversation was like.)
NHS handed out the student-voted awards we had done on the way to the senior field trip, which was fun. The Nazz and Ostendork cleaned up, Getting stuff like ‘Most likely to Succeed’, ‘Most Likely to cure SARS’ (Nazz), ‘Most Athletic’ (Ostendorf), etc. Oh, Jachetta and I got ‘Most Likely to Take Over the World’, and Seamus somehow or another recived ‘Most Likely to be a Pyschic’. Although it’d definately be humorous to see him on a commercial done up in Rastafarian gear, speaking Jamaican and dealing Tarot cards to people on the phone as incense burned in the background, I’m not sure how, uh, accurate to his personality it is.
Graduation practice went very smoothly! We only had to go through things once, which is better than other classes in the past, whcih is good. I get to say something when I lead the tassel movage, and I didn’t even ask to be allowed to, muahahahahahahaha. Schaumberg just got up there, moved the tassel, and sat back down last yeat. What a dork. When it comes to Senior Class Secretary / Treasurer, verily, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS.
Well, after we were dismissed, I dropped by P. Schmiddy’s room to see waht was going on. We talked a little, mainly her telling me which one of the many girl hair implements (bobby pin) I could use to keep my squarehat on my head. Then I went with B. Grizzy and Wall Street to the Starbucks by Brebuf. I should have called Andy up, since he goes there and they have open campus, but I didn’t, and lazed around at home for the subsequent two and a half days.
I did use my time off to put a new xdoc/ebook/newsreader on my Cli鬠that actually makes use of it’s ri-res capabilites. It’s called MobiPocket, and although it only gives you a limited selection of news feeds at the site, the .enews file that ‘suscribes’ the program to the feed is just basic XML, so I’ve been putting together to get stuff Slashdot and Penny Arcade to go on it.
I’ve also discovered out of this the Baen Free Library, which has some nice xdoc/ebook copies of what is apparently a bunch of Good SF novels, if Slashdot is to be trusted.
Zaat eet foah todaaay.
