AFYP Drives Home

The ride home was uneventful until a lunch stop, when the car's alternator kicked the bucket.



Thankfully, there was a goodyear across the street who replaced it for a mere $270.

Out for a drive

Adventuring in Ohio today, AFYP came across some strange stuff. This was on the way to Kirdon:



No, that was not photoshopped. The sign was in front of a brothel on the side of route 33. Anyways, we visited Lehman's Non-Electric store, and they had some cool stuff (although most of it was electric). I still want an iPod mini though. Maybe in a few weeks. I would be swimming in the hotel pool right now, but a herd of gypsy thieves checked into the hotel and took over the pool (and the hot tub too). I shall now go down the hall to get some candy, fending them off with my new Flyshooter bug gun from Lehman's:


Armed and Dangerous baby!

My Apologies

It seems that Comfort Inn is not at fault; I called their tech support number (with the intention of screaming and swearing to the rep), but he said that the network was meant to direct me to the hotel's home page, not MSN. I am still mad, but not at Comfort Inn. However, may users of MSN burn in hell... I'll post pictures tonight.

Comfort Inn = Fascist

Any and all customer loyalty I had for Comfort Inn (which isn't that much) was lost about a half hour ago. When I logged into their "free wireless internet", and went to Apple's web site, I was redirected to MSN, Microsoft's website. So much for subliminal Microsoft propaganda. I hate microsoft and I am deeply offended as a die-hard Mac user. Everybody boycott Comfort Inn.

Hello From Mt. Vernon, Day 1

AFYP is now in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, after a liesurely 8-hour drive yesterday.


On the way

We've got lots to do today, and I shall post pictures tonight.

AFYP Takes a Road Trip

Destination: Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
Image unknowingly hosted by mountverrnonohio.org (a popular site, drawing in 4 visitors per year: the page author, his mother, his probation officer, and myself). Posting this image will probably send the site well over its monthly alloted bandwidth (in which case I shall host the image myself and write the page author an email of mock apology). Wow, I'm feeling sadistic tonight.

Anywhoo, Mt. Vernon, Ohio is home to over 73 residents (cows included) and the world's finest natural fertilizer.

Pictures taken in Mt. Vernon will be posted periodically. You do not know where I live.

Holy Crap! This is incredible.

April 29th will be the best day ever. 2 awesome things happen:


OS X version 10.4 is released.



The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy hits theaters.

That, and it will be a friday. Two of the most important and anticipated things in my life. I'm going to go insane... this is awesome. And, I'll have the weekend afterwards to contemplate the Hitchhiker movie and play with 10.4, without the distraction of school.

Damn, I'm starting to hyperventilate... excuse me while I find a paper bag.

Spring Break

Is here. I suggest refining your plans for world domination and stuff. This goes for you all. I may be away for a few days, but I'll try to post. In the meantime, satisfy your appetite for high-quality reading with these books (I just read them, so they're pretty good):

Mac OS X Killer Tips by Scott Kelby

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

The Cult of Mac by Leander Kahney

Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy

When you're done with all that, I should have posted again, so check back here.

School Sucks More.

Why are students who miss/skip classes given ISS?

It's for In School Suspension, and it's the biggest crock of shite ever. Lemme explain. The school doesn't want people to skip class, because class attendance is important... right? Being in class is the key to good grades and learning stuff. However, if you miss classes 'cause you skip them, sometimes you get In School Suspension, which is where instead of going to your classes for a day, you sit in this unwindowed, poorly lit room doing little (if anything). Usually, the student didn't do anything to disrupt his/her class(es) and has no reason for being out of class even more. Basically, for not being in class, you are punished/awarded (opinions differ) with *more* being away from your classes.

Is that incompetent or what? I'd say our school needs an administration that knows their stuff, not a gaggle of slack-offs who can't decide whether it's good or not for kids to be in class.



I, for one, nominate Arnold Schwarzenegger for executive principal. If he can be gub'ner of CA, then he could do a kick-ass job admonishtrating students. Certainly better than that of the current regime. Just watch Kindergarten Cop... this guy really knows his stuff. I could see him giving out wedgies to class-skippers (rather than making them miss more classes), then booting them out of the office with an "Hasta la Vista, Baby!". God Bless America.

David's Lake

Due to recent flooding, David's backyard has become inundated with nearby creek water. We went for a canoe ride last sunday, and the water was almost 4 feet deep.
