Mornin Lodge
this pretty much sums up my weekend

You mean that fool decided to start paying for the Milk?? Sucker!!

Thanks

We had been cleaning & packing the apartment most of the day yesterday. We decided to go to dinner to celebrate getting a new apartment (and things finally starting to look up for us). As I'm coming out of the shower (all wrapped in a towel) he says "Actually there's something else I'd rather celebrate tonight...(gets down on 1 knee and pulls out ring) Will you marry me?"

Hmmm... I do have to admit, that is pretty slick there. Catches you totally off guard, and its not like you're going run out of the house like that. He's pretty much got you trapped and you gotta say yes.

Well, he was effeicient. Less work in the disrobing department!

Yeah, Thats gotta be another plus in there I think.

Congrats the both of you!

Not only am I not a high schooler anymore, but I'm not a pre-frosh either!





On the down side, I'm $600 poorer thanks to textbooks.

Have you "broken in" the bed in your dorm room yet? (You are staying in the dorms, right?)

So I think the real question here is simple. Is your roommate cute?

Which leads to the other real question, ctf, have you made out with your cute new roommate yet?
Actually, I do seem to remember her saying that she was rooming with someone she already knows, so this probably happened quite a while ago.

Worked well for this guy. And this one.

And then there's this, which I think is simply awesome, and the kind if thing I'd do.

If I'm not mistaken, she's living at home for a semester. Any "breaking in" ceremonies will have to wait until she has the money to move out, or meets some clueless nerd living in the CS hall.

Oh, and congrats to NMUKat and aparch.

awwww...congrats!
That does sound romantic.

I thought they were celebrating the life of Jean-Paul Levesque, who was born and raised in nearby Nashua, NH, by dressing up as him for the week. (Also known as Triple-H, to wrestling fans.)


Crazy! I'm sort of glad 'Ewe and I didn't find our way to the coastal road (I gotta learn to trust my instincts more than the GPS sometimes). Though, it probably wouldn't have been as bad where we were (south of Portland, heading back to NH).


You were compressed by geological forces, deep under the surface of the Earth for hundreds of thousands of years, surfacing via a volcanic pipe, then mined and sold off to finance a Central African civil war (or to help finance more Akon albums - I'm not sure which would be worse)? That's quite a weekend!

Oh, you got engage. That's pretty awesome, too. Congrats!

I definitely had a thing for HHH (Jean-Paul) when I was a wrestling fan. Must be something about those boys from NH.

Yeah -- the storms we drove through were totally ridiculous!!

Morning, er afternoon, there kids. Just sitting down to have my breakfast for a few minutes (definitely won't be time for lunch today). Hope people's days are going along swimmingly.

Exactly - it'd be her job to teach him.

Depends on if you think it is possible to break in a bed while only moving one wrist.

I actually broke my bed when I was at Tech...it isn't as bad as it sounds, but still quite funny!

Well, that's one way to get you to unwrap the towel.

Congrats and good luck, you two!

She could have gotten sold off to finance the sale of five barrels of Molson, you know.

State Fair starts this week, and this is the real most wonderful time of the year! My brief, and ever expanding, list of foods that I want/need this year:
Chocolate Covered Bacon
Norwegian Banana Split
Leprechaun Legs
Cheese Curds (from The Mouth Trap in the Food Building)
Tater Tot Hotdish on a Stick
Big Fat Bacon
Donna's BBQ Shaved Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
Grilled Corn on the Cob
Sweet Aunt Martha's Cookies (along with all-you-can-drink milk at the milk booth)
Chocolate Malt (from the Dairy Building)
Deep-Fried Twinkie
French Fries (from the original French Fry stand)



I heard on the HAMS this morning that there will be beer on a stick at the fair this year. There was speculation on how this would be accomplished, but frozen seems to be the most likely to me.

Deep-fried Twinkies I leave for Winter Carnival... besides, the deep-fried Snickers are better. Otherwise I like your list, and would only add chocolate-covered bacon and an elephant ear.


Afternoon, Lodge. Spent the morning putting a bunch of little (and some relatively larger) holes in two sheets of paper, via .22 and 9mm pistols. Fun enough, and I wouldn't mind going once or twice a year, but I'm not running out to get a Desert Eagle, a bunker and a tattoo of Charlton Heston wrapped in the American flag just yet.

Things are looking up. I have a second interview tomorrow morning for a local position, this time with the IT director and company president.

Apparently they didn't teach you to read at Tech.
Re-read his list and find the chocolate covered bacon.

(HINT: IT'S THE FIRST ITEM ON THE LIST!)

Psh - why have it just once when you can have it twice?


Off to fix a couple rust bubbles on the Jeep.

This probably deserves a little more explaining, after that post and 'diva's rep requesting to hear the story.
I know that there are some around here that have heard this before.
We had a party at our house in Houghton, many people and lots of drinks. I ended up taking this girl up to my room, she was not big whatsoever, she weighed maybe 100 lbs (she was a friend, not just a random girl), we were both very intoxicated and just crawled into bed and passed out. Honestly, nothing happened that night (the next morning is a slightly different story ). 3-4 months later, we had another party and this same girl was already really drunk when she showed up, drank a little more and started feeling sick. The place was packed, so 2 of her friends and I took her to my room, along with a puke pail, since too many people needed to use the bathroom. So the 3 of us were sitting on my bed BSing while the drunk girl alternated between resting and puking. Suddenly, one the corner bed posts collapsed, bending up under the bed, the drunk girl sat up fast, didn't know what was going on. She looked around for about 5 seconds and said "what, the bed broke? but, but the bed didn't break the last time we were on it!"

The blackened chicken poorboy from the Ragin Cajun is awesome. They are introducing beignets this year too, which is like a square, fried up doughnut.

I also love the Epiphany and Hamline Diners. Grandma's comfort food right there.
