Damn! Where did the week go? I seriously am not sure that I am all that happy about being back in school. It’s like get up, go to work, go to school, go to sleep, rinse, repeat.
The worst part is, not only am I super short on time, it’s been sub-arctic here and I haven’t had a chance to go Medallion hunting. For those of you not caught up, here are the clues so far:
Clue #1 — Sunday, January 25, 2004
Say it ain’t so, Clueless Joe,
And all who prattle and bark.
Stop yer clue-bashin’, if treasure’s your passion,
Go you look in an area park.
Clue #2 — Monday, January 26, 2004
Jughead has spoken, look for the token
We’ll make it worth your while
Like Archie, you seek an object this week
As green as the Emerald Isle.
Clue #3 — Tuesday, January 27, 2004

Ugh. What a week. I was waaaaay to used to not having to go to school. Somehow I have survived week 1 of the Winter Quarter. However, I’m already dreading going back on Monday.
Winter Carnival is here! I’m already stoked for the Treasure Hunt. This is my year. I will find the medallion and win $10,000!!!
Or, maybe I’ll just have a nap.
I’m going to try something different this friday, I’m gonna do Past, Present, Future. Hopefully it won’t be a miserable failure.
PAST: The quality of our thoughts can only be as good as the quality of our language, for words are the very core of thought. How diligent were you at building your vocabulary, when you were a youngster?
I would say I was fairly diligent. I don’t know where the importance of the english language was impressed upon me from….but I have always done my best to use themost appropriate word for the situation…
PRESENT: What’s the most recent addition to your vocabulary?
Man, that’s a toughie. I think it may be
Extemporaneous
I picked that one up in speech class. There must be something newer though….hmm…..
FUTURE: What word would you like to see added to the general lexicon… and what word would you like to see removed?
I think damnity-damn-damn-hell could be a good addition. So much gets brought in automatically it seems…like Doh!, Muggle, etc….. I think shiznit should NOT make it in….I hope…I pray….
Oh! I know. I think we should get rid of the word Concur. Because, it always sounded to me like it should mean an opposing opinion…and really, what’s wrong with just saying “I Agree”???

So, I realized today that I don’t want to go back to school tonight. I mean yeah, there’s all that knowledge just waiting to be lapped up and all, but I kinda like not having to stress about overdue homework, being able to actually do things in the evening, yada yada yada.
It’s all a moo point however, since my glorious stay of execution ends @ 6PM!. Bah…
Oh well, I guess I’ll go to class now…in the meantime…why don’t you all go to Hell! (…I mean take this quiz…not actually die, have St. Peter say better luck next time, and then fall into the fiery depths….um…yeah…..well….GOOD LORD WHAT IS THAT THING OVER THERE!)
The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished GSeven to the Second Level of Hell!
Here is how GSeven matched up against all the levels:

A couple of things for ya today:
Wil Wheaton went to the 2004 Los Angeles Auto Show. But somehow, I got a glimpse of my future….
“So where should we start?” I said. My answer came in the form of Nolan running toward the biggest SUV I’ve ever seen. Seriously. It was a few feet shorter than a Star Destroyer.
I caught up with him as he climbed into the back seat.
“Wil! Look at how much room there is in here!” He said as he bounced and extended his legs to barely touch the back of the seat ahead of him.
“Yeah, but the power to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of The Force.” I reminded him.
He looked at me with a furrowed brow. “What?”
“Sorry,” I said, “I was having a nerd moment.”
“Oh, good. I hope we can have lots of those today.” He said, dryly.
“I find your lack of faith disturbing.” I said, and twitched my fingers.
He shook his head and laughed, “Whatever, Wil . . . “
Also today, the triumphant return of The Friday Five
1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails?
Go on then, there are other worlds than these!
