Three Posts in One Day

Must be a new record. Or I must have a paper due. (Guess which one it is!)

I don't know how y'all are managing to do NaNoWriMo. I'm having a hard enough time with 3,000 words in 10 days. But maybe it's different with a novel vs. a paper that's getting a grade?

I'm pissed off because I bought an awesome CD yesterday and it was defective, and the &$*%$#$ store won't let me return it because I don't have a **%$($$#)&%) receipt.

I would like y'all to do one of the following right now:
1.) Tell me to finish my damn paper and go to bed at a reasonable hour, as Snidge was kind enough to do last night.
2.) Give me a topic to write about when it's 2:30 a.m. and I'm wide awake.

Cheers!

Something else to help me procrastinate!

Seen over at Pete's blog: you play 20 questions at this website, and the computer will guess what you are thinking about. It guessed correctly when I thought of the following items:

*laptop computer
*potato
*mp3 player
*tiger
*tutu

It's definitely spooky. Go try it out for yourself!

Ummm, ok?

I was just taking a look at my stats over on Statcounter (oh man, I'm addicted) when I got the following ad in the banner:

You are extremely ugly.
So am I. But I made
$1000 today. Don't be
ugly and poor.

I'm not really sure what to say about that. Hmmm. But it made me giggle, so I thought I would post it here.

2:25 a.m. Must get some sleep. G'night!

PS: Hello to the person from Windsor, CT (my hometown) who reads my blog! If I know you, drop me a line to say hi! =)

Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of...Edinburgh

...hahaha I was thinking of a certain song today when I got to see the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as he came for a visit to unveil some plaques for some new buildings.

They always pick a certain group of students/faculty to meet the guy for stuff like this, and although I wasn't included in that group, I got to stand outside and see him up close, which was pretty cool. And then after the unveiling, when they headed back to the SCR/Hall for lunch, I did the obvious thing: I followed the crowd. I was glad I did, because I got to get really close, and take a few good pictures.

So I've done the two things Americans want to do when they come to England: I've seen the Harry Potter colleges, and I've seen members of the Royal Family. Awesome.

Speaking of stereotypical things, you would expect the guy to arrive in a limo with flags on it, wouldn't you? Surprisingly, he didn't...he came in a big SUV. I didn't get to take pictures when he arrived, because I didn't expect him to be in such a vehicle!

So that was my adventure for the morning. Be sure to check out pics on my Flickr page (search for the tag "royalty" if you can't find them).

Cheerio!
