Today has to have been the wierdest weather ever. It started extremely hot, humid and muggy. That quickly changed though as the day was dominated by a series of intense, 30 min. thunder showers. Of course, I got caught right in the middle of two of them. Once while running (actually refreshing), and once while walking to campus (not refreshing).
This afternoon on the way home from Campus I was assaulted by a group of militant, urban environmentally friendly street toughs. As I left the U, a couple of them approached me, and asked if I could spare a few minutes for the environment. When I told them no, they got hostile, and asked how I can dare disrespect them and the environment.
I am currently cleaning up my room to the music of my Launchcast player, and the unthinkable happened. . . IT ACTUALLY IS PLAYING WEEZER!!! So, take a note: June 26, 2005 (11:50 AM CST) Undone is played on the launchcast.
Here are some pics from the days preceeding my departure from Buffalo. I got bored on a Sunday, and just went walking with my camera. Ultimately I ended up at Espresso 21 in Dinkytown, and finished the Icelandic epic The Saga of the Volsungs. Enjoy, more to follow. . .
So, last night I arrived back in Minneapolis at approx. 8:30 pm. This after beginning my day back in Elkhart, IN and fighting brutal Chicago traffic for 2 hours. I experimented with timing, to see if I could make better time cutting through Chicago on a Saturday afternoon. That was dumb. . .

So, I'm blogging during a C&G jam session in the basement of Mixmaster J's house. It is quite a sight. Joe is wailing away on the guitar, and Fred is standing in front of the mic playing a small little casio keyboard in the palm of his hand. In otherwords, I just got overcharged massively for a Chicken Souvlaki Breakfast at Tom's Restaurant. It was excellent though, so perhaps I'll let it slide...
Last night I went out with Fred for a night of fun. Initially we planned only on getting pizza at Wegmans, and then going to see Cinderella Man at the Movies. Therefore, I did not bring my camera with me to document it. Boy was that a mistake! Wegmans had already closed up the pizza section by the time we arrived, so we decided to trek across the street to the food court at the Boulevard Mall. I had Subway, Fred had Charlie's subs. I clearly got the better deal. After dinner we needed to kill time, so we headed to Adventureland Golf (nee Putt Putt) so Fred could get mini-Golf out of his system. It was a very homosexual round of golf. :) Although I made a run at the end, I was thorougly trounced by Freddie, who was invited back for a tournament on Tuesday. I think this means we will return to putt putt this weekend so Fred can continue practicing. After Golf, Fred and I killed another hour at Barnes And Noble until Joe told us he would be MIA for the night, at which time we went to visit the one and only Woobie at the theater. I got to see the projector room! Of course the night ended with a trip to Dennys and several cups of coffee. There you have it, my night with Fred. I should have brought my camera.
Tonight I went to Barnes & Noble to purchase another German dictionary. While home, I want to do a little research for my masters thesis, but being every so forward thinking, I left my dictionary at home. I believe this makes dictionary six or seven. This time I went with the "Larousse" edition. My personal favorite is the Harper Collins unabridged German Dictionary, but those are also the most expensive. In comparison to the Oxford dictionary (also in the same price range), the Larousse has 30,000 more entries, and only cost $1.00 more. I am confident I will be extremely satisfied with this purchase, and that it will make an excellent addition to my dictionary collection.
Right now I am hanging out with Joe. We were watching Arrested Development (the greatest show ever) on DVD, when Fabulous Freddie called. They've been talking for about 10 min. now, so I decided to blog while they discuss future recording plans.
