Today I went to pickup a part for my Cougar in Michigan City, IN. Naturally I took the Cougar to pick it up, not realizing there was a snowstorm between my house and the pickup location. Needless to say I wound up with a pretty snowy Cougar. I was also fortunate enough to recieve a ticket for 10 over on the way back courtesy the Michigan State Police. So far everytime I take out my Cougar I get a ticket. Hopefully it isn't a trend or I'll have to start riding my pedal bike to work.

The weekends at the NAIAS usually consist of fighting through teenie boppers and screaming kids, so I decided to take a day off work and go this year. It was still pretty busy, but not insane. Stavos works at the RenCen so we got free parking and free shuttle to Cobo. My dad got me two free tickets so we split the third (Enoryms) for a total cost of $4 for each of us. Got some great photos of the event, but didn't see anything that grabbed my attention. A few fuel cell cars, no new hybrids, and no really cool production cars. Lots of neat prototypes though, more than I expected with the current economic drought. A good way to spend 4 hours and $4, but I would definately recommend going on a weekday to avoid being trampled.

Tonight Enorym, Stavos and I went to Best Buy to look at electronics and wound up harassing a cashier about my open-item purchase. After that we went to Dunhams sports and I found a Turbo Sled! Of course this required an immediate trial, so at 8:30pm in a pitch black park we made several trips down a sledding hill. It truely was a turbo sled. After 4 close calls with a tree, and almost breaking my tailbone we called it a night.

I have. She's my girlfriend.

Lastnight, around 2:00am, I suddenly heard a loud voice say "near the phone jack, where the computer is sitting." It came from my computer speakers which I had left powered on after I turned the computer off. I've heard it before, but usually between 9:00pm and 10:00pm. This was the first time I heard it so late (early). The first few times I thought it was just CB traffic from the main road somehow interfering with my speakers. Lastnight and the time before I clearly heard the exact same phrase. This ruled out the random CB interference. I still have no idea what's causing it, but I'm assuming some radio frequency somewhere is creating it. If not I'm either under surveillance, or going insane. I decided to build a snowman and light up some torches to drive out the demons in my speakers.

Bored at work, Myrone and I began IM'ing each other back and forth about my Interweb. Our conversation became fairly detailed, and eventually also involved Stavos. He was a perpetrator of false information on my Interweb, so I had to send the spear of angryness to his processor. If that doesn't make sense I wouldn't recommend reading the conversation.

After realizing my inflatable snowman cost almost $10 a month in electricity I quickly pulled the plug on him. The other snowman was all alone until I arrived home from my new years party when I had an uncontrollable urge to hit something with my truck. Fortunately the remaining snowman (already half melted) made an excellent target. He was also the least likely to file a lawsuit, or claim grievances against me. My yard is once again sans snowmen.
Here is a photo of the murder scene.

In case you missed my other update, I've been playing Warcraft III alot during the holiday break. More than I should be. I'm finally at the point where I'm starting to win as many as I lose, so I keep spending more and more time playing it. It's a viscious addictive cycle that I can't break free of. You can watch my character progress on battle.net. I've decided that if my win/lose ratio dips below 25% I'll get frustrated enough to quit. Wish me luck.

Today was good packing snow, so naturally I had to build a snowman. This particular snowman is in the likeness of Soulfly since he suggested I needed a real snowman to replace my inflatable one. Instead, I put the real one in a suggestive position with regards to the blowup one. The blue thing "Soulfly" is holding represents his "relaxed lifestyle" involving "natural stimulants." The person in my doorway is my girlfriend, who helped out getting the face to look so lifelike. Enjoy.
