Excuse My Use of Strong Letters

I have no intention of writing anything related to the title of this blog so don't get your hopes up. They just give me a box to fill and I oblige.

I have a beef pot pie in the microwave at the moment. I am awaiting its warming completion with great anticipation. When I was just a lad, I did not appreciate pot pies. I have no idea why. I just remember not liking them one time. I would not even know I was little except I can picture the house it was in and I have not lived there for like 14 years.

Every time I go to Google Chrome's recent favorites page and click on the picture of this web site, I do so with the hope that someone other than me has posted. I say, it must be a real thrill to be able to come here and read something that someone you know personally has written just for you to read. Maybe someday I will know how you are feeling right now. I am writing this just for you you know. Personalized media.

Pot pie is done. Time to start the memories.

Just now I was wondering to myself if gum goes bad. I looked at the back of the pack I was currently chewing a piece of and found that it was best by September 30, 2009.

I'm thinking...I'm thinking...I'm thinking...

I'll tell you what's a matter of life and death, that beautiful lady over there.

Hey baby, check out the gun show going on over here. BOOM BOOM! Firepower!

Look What I did Today

I had a really productive afternoon. Actually, this was more like early evening. Okay, so it is still going on. See if you can follow this conversation...

Katelyn Michalak

alright, here's the answer: I wasn't talking about anyone. This was a question my roommate posed to me in a failed attempt to figure out what I'm afraid of.

Eric Michalak

I didn't really care

Katelyn Michalak

i wasn't talking to you then, mr. pompous.

Eric Michalak

Did you know that some birds in Africa have to jump to get above the elephant grass they live in and watching them do that is really funny?

Katelyn Michalak

Did you know that Alexander Bell got a patent for the telephone in 1876?

Eric Michalak

Watching lions drink is also high on my list of favorite things to do

Katelyn Michalak

speaking of drinking... are you?

Eric Michalak

Infrared lights are sick. They just glow red, but on special cameras they are just like flood lights. Sa-weet!

Katelyn Michalak

sometimes when I'm laying in bed completely sober my bed starts spinning around and I have to open my eyes so I don't fall off or throw up.

Eric Michalak

Birds of Paradise are freaky and do weird things with their heads.

Katelyn Michalak

I've worn a different pair of shoes everyday this week and they've all given me blisters on different spots on my feet.

Eric Michalak

People look at you weird when you carry tuning forks through the rain.

Katelyn Michalak

When a horse gets going the wrong way during a race horse and runs straight into another horse at a combined seventy miles an hour, horses get kilt and jockeys get comafied.

Eric Michalak

I take naps every day then can't fall asleep at night and am then tired in the morning.

Katelyn Michalak

If you ever rescue someone whose been in the ocean for a few days be real careful when you pull them in the boat, because their skin is liable to come right off their bodies.

Eric Michalak

Male gliding leaf frogs jump out of trees and use their feet as parachutes.

Katelyn Michalak

Joe Jonas is a lot cuter now that he got a hair cut.

Eric Michalak

Half of the rain that falls in the Amazon comes from clouds produced by trees.

Katelyn Michalak

Elephants cannot run.

Eric Michalak

Fungus creeps me out beyond belief.

Katelyn Michalak

i just ate five servings of honey roasted macadamias. That's what's for dinner, The Beef Checkoff!

Eric Michalak

I'm glad there are no species of fungus that infect humans and burst out of their heads.

Katelyn Michalak

the biggest organism on earth is a fungus living three feet below ground in Oregon. It's covers over 2000 acres and is 2500 years old.

Eric Michalak

Carnivorous plants are awesome. How big is a hectare?

Katelyn Michalak

I don't like things that can be frozen for hundreds of years or drifting around in space then come back to life. It is equal to 100 acres. It's metric unit of square measure.

Eric Michalak

I have spent more than an hour watching planet earth and waiting for you to respond so I can say something unrelated.

Katelyn Michalak

i was going to ask you if you were watching that but i was having more fun having a convo that made zero sense. I feel bad for everyone who commented.

Eric Michalak

Read my blog recently?

So I just had a thought. Why do elephants have wrinkles living in dry climates and whales have smooth skin?

I AM SO ANGRY!!!

Little Caesars LIED to us! They LIEDDDDDD!!! I did not, in fact, have a delicious five dollar hot-n-ready pizza for dinner tonight. Instead I had a BOX of Chicken Bellflower pasta that I will prolly die a year early from eating! I can feel the future heart attack already building. Back to the anger. I am not going to be able to sleep tonight due to the shear voluminouness of my anger. There is a lot of it. I may not even go back tomorrow to see if they are open then. I might just wait until Thursday...lunch...that'll show 'em.

I had a topic that I was going to use here as a break in the rant, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. My rage wiped my short term memory. Maybe it was something about Shiny Toy Guns. I really like the song they have in the new Lincoln commercial. Relatedly, Major Tom seems like a cool guy, its too bad about his fateful voyage.

I heard today that some people who watch Avatar end up with depression. The story goes that they fall in love with the idealized planet and way of life of the Navii. They then return to their pitiful meaningless lives a little less fulfilled than they were before they dropped a Hamilton and a half to see a 3-D movie. I suggest they deal with it. Pop a few more pills you crazies, and be happy that the real world is not more like the movies. I for one saw the movie and still feel fine. EXCEPT FOR MY LACK OF CHEAP WONDERFUL PIZZA!!!

No me gusta

So, it's been nearly four days of the semester, and I've only had one class. One was cancelled, the other one was Spanish.

I hate the Spanish Department.

I'm not taking a foreign language because I find it super-intriguing or culturally stimulating (although it is), no, the core of why I take Spanish is because I have to in order to graduate. I doubt I'll ever have to know beyond high school Spanish in order to communicate with someone I may run into--I don't plan on working abroad in a Spanish-speaking country. Bottom line: the Spanish Department seems to think very highly of themselves. Things which are normally and conveniently done online must be done in paper only. They don't list who is teaching a course until you are already attending, making finding an "easy" professor much more difficult. In general, I just dislike them.

Moving on...I have a cold. Yesterday was spent lounging around doing hardly anything. I would've liked to get my room picked up (it's still a mess from moving back from break) and some laundry done. Neither of these things happened because my body decided to become lightheaded upon standing. No me gusta.

In better news, I'm getting geared up to go visit a few grad schools. I'm still a little surprised that the University of Michigan is flying me from Dayton to Detroit...but whatever. I watched "Up in the Air" last night with Pat, and I couldn't help but think about all the traveling I'll be doing. I figure I'll start collecting miles now.

24 hour clock

I am a strong proponent of going to a 24hour time system. This is mostly due to the fact that I am not capable of checking to see if my alarm is set to AM or PM when I set it at night and it is usually wrong. As a result of this I woke up 20 minutes before my first class today. This happened to also be noon. I could have very well slept right through my class. Luckily I am on pretty good terms with the Big Man and I got an urge to check what time it was at a highly opportune moment.

Little Caesars is supposed to open today. I think that will be dinner if the rumor is true.

Matt, finish that damn post or I am going to publish it myself. I can do that you know. I feel like I am the only contributor to this thing. I can't keep the 20 people who ever read our blog entertained on my own here.

P.S. I am posting this at 14:40

So I just made a pointless poll that you should all contribute to and I was frustrated to realize that my purposeful misspellings were not tolerated by the Google Poll Police. Bah

Good News!

It turns out that Sharpie is not all that permanent on bare skin. This is good news, because despite being a lovely girl, I do not want to have Wedzikowski on my arm forever. Thank you Matt Smola. In other news, someone was a little more intoxicated when they wrote the second name I happen to have on my arm, cause I have no idea what any of the letters are but M.

So the idea was that we both have Polish last names and were talking about that fact when Matt decided to make remembering them easy for Facebook purposes. Matt, being a gentleman, did not want to write with a permanent marker on a ladies arm. So he wrote her name on me...and then must have found another name to write later. It was special.

I am currently watching The Hangover. It is a very funny movie.
