Just got back from Des Moines aboot 30 min. ago, and I'm already posting, how 'bout that! Actually, it's just because I work at 4 ;) But andyway... What a great weekend, it was wonderful, went to dinner, saw I, Robot, which is very good by the way, Tara showed me around campus at Drake a bit and where her new apartment is. It was great, needless to say, it was hard to leave this morning ;)

I made the drive back in 4 hours 30 minutes. Which broke my the previous record, from Jul 15, 2004, of 5 hours 15 min. I got on Interstate 35 and within the first 20 miles or so started following a white impala with Florida plates who was going about 80 mph. Then an SUV joined up with us, and one other car. It was now officially a convoy, for the next 100 miles or so, when we lost the SUV and the other car, so then it was just the Floridian and the Wisconsinite (me) going through uncharted territory also known as Northern Iowa, and Minnesota. That may not seem like much, I have no idea where this man was heading, but I was following him nonetheless. Even when he made a wrong turn on the Wisconsin/Minnesota border :) I had gotten directions from my friend Joe from Murray 1st north on which way he goes from I-90 in MN to Eau Claire, apparently this man had as well, because he went the same way. So, the man who I aptly named my speeding buddy, ended up being followed by me all the way to Eau Claire. Still no idea where he was going, but I pulled up next to him at a stop light on Clairemont Ave. in Eau Claire after following him for nearly the last 300 miles, and I just kinda laughed and waved at him, he did the same, he was an older guy in his later 40's early 50's but I was happy to have him as company, though we never talked, I felt like I already knew him ;) Well, that's aboot all there is from me, I gotta go shower and stuff before work at 4. Hope everybody is having a great weekend! This one goes out to the Speeding White Impala Florida Man aka SWIFM. Have a nice summer!

EC in the summertime..

In theory it's a good idea. No parents, lot's of money from work. Take some extra credits. WRONG! The reality of it all is that until the two of my room mates that are staying for the summer return, I'm going to be bored out of my mind! I've looked in the fridge like 50 times in the last 10 minutes. I watched a movie that was a good way to kill a couple hours, but I just keep thinking, until I start class monday, what can I do in my spare time?? So, any ideas, let me know. Let's see what you guys can come up with, just post them as comments, it'll be a game. We'll see who can come up with the best idea for what Ryan should do when he's bored. Have a nice summer!

RIP Mitch

Mitch Hedberg was found dead in his hotel room yesterday morning. What a sad day. December 27th 2003 David, Mark, and I went to the Rosemont theater in Rosemont, IL. Very near to Chicago. We had tickets to see Lewis Black, Dave Attell, and "Special Guest." I don't think any of us knew who the special guest was, until he was announced. That was probably the coolest part of the trip, not only did we get to see Lewis and Dave, but Mitch Hedberg as special guest. I'm so glad we got to see him. If I remember correctly David and I were going to see him again, but it didn't work out. Now I really wish that would've worked. Anyway, I would like to commemorate this as Mitch Hedberg weekend. I'll put a random Mitch Hedberg joke up as often as I feel like doing. At least one per day. What a terrible loss to the comedy community, you'll be missed.

So, I just woke up at 11:19 or so. Which is only 49 min. late for class. and only 40 min. left in class. So i figured, by the time I found some clothes and put them on, and ran down there, walked up the three flights of stairs, there would probably only be 10 or 15 min. left. So i just went on my computer. And Adam was logged on in the lab that our class is held in, so he let me know what was going on. Well andyway, I gotta work tonight 4-12, and I'd just like to congratulate Tara on single handedly defeating the giant cricket type thing that even shadow (her cat) was afraid of. I didn't like it much either, but it ran away from me, so I couldn't kill it. In other news... I need to put up a new Fun Fact so here goes... Fun Fact #2: Americans, on the average, eat 18 acres of pizza a day. Have a nice summer!
