1). It’s really fucking sweaty balls exploding death hot outside. GOOD THING VAB IS AIR CONDITIONED MATE, GOOD THING.

2). ARTS279 in the fall is going to be LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OMG HALP WUTS PEN TUUL? I’m going to cover that class in murdalade and eat it on a wheat thin. Yes, thats marmalade with murder. What, don’t you shop at Harris Teeter?

3). I’m really happy that Pepperidge Farm brought back Goldfish Grahams. They’re the most buttery and scrumptious graham snackies ever. You know what? They’re better than Teddy Grahams. Yeah, I fucking went there. 2 for $3 at Target right now. Go get yourself some and enjoy mouthfuls of win.

4). Still working on bringing back Crystal Pepsi…..

5). Last but not least, Wordpress 2.6 is out. Seriously Wordpress, you and Nintento need to chill out with the releases, ok? I JUST upgraded to 2.5.1, and now you want me to do it again?

6). Speaking of gaming… I’m currently still playing Final Fantasy Tactics A2. Yeah, it rocks. Excellent upgrade from FFTA (which I still have and love!). BUT!  Here’s my seasonal to-buy list (pending that financial aid rebate check in mid-August…yeah buddy!):

• Wii Fit: HOLY SHIT I WORK AT BEST BUY, HOW DO I NOT HAVE ONE?!
• Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness (8/26): I luv Harvest Moon.
• My Japanese Coach (9/16): I’m in my 6th semester of JP in the fall with Ishibashi. I think I own every Kodansha book ever made. It’s obligatory at this point. (I even have the DS Jp>En dictionary!)
• Final Fantasy IV: ONLY after I beat FFIII on DS (which I left behind for uh…Rune Factory? Lols).

7). I can’t believe FFXIII is coming out on lolxbox. I just can’t believe it. Seriously, SquEnix, you piss me off enough in your updates for FFXI, couldn’t you just STAY with Sony so I could justify buying a PS3 for the Blu-Ray player that will still look like balls on my 720p HDTV? My heart, you crush it.

8). <annoyingflashingtext>SEVERE WEATHER ADVISORY! HELL YES!</annoyingflashingtext>

9). (because no list is complete without a number 9): New Beck CD is gooooooooooood. And by CD I mean *.mp3 files that my neighbors cousins third poodles sires owners one-armed gardner found for me on TPB.

Ahh, Hampton Roads in July.

Hot, humid and hazy.

Webb center central is FUH-REEZING, but over here in Webb right it’s perfect…except for the constant PSSSSSSSS from the HVAC unit. You can see the clouds coming in too… Right now Hampton Roads is under weather advisory, so pack your umbrellas and galoshes, the lawn is going to be a swamp.

Despite the ominous green blob of precipitation heading our way, some crazies will make it out to the beach today (coughcanadianscough). The conditions in our part of the Atlantic are good for rip currents to occur. You can thank that fizzling disappointment of a hurricane, Bertha, for that. In case you’re not from a beach area, if you’re out in the ocean and you become trapped by a rip current, swim parallel to the shore, NOT towards the shore.

And finally a couple of photos from last week.

I call them…CACTUS FINGERS!!

Still life #2 set up in the painting studio. I hate bags but my colors are actually coming out quite well

Stay dry kids.
