"I caught you a delicious bass."

I finally saw Napoleon Dynamite. Bjorn, if you are reading this, I have something to tell you. You were right, it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time. I highly recommend it to everybody I will be passing on the street today.

Not much going on really. Started school again so that has kept me fairly occupied. It's only been a week and I'm already hating myself for commuting this semester instead of living up there one more time. Blast.

Going to be staying up in Chicago tonight for me and Kristen's anniversary. I can't believe it's already been two years. I hope to show her the spot where here DMB dumped their poopy on those people. I hope they add that to the boat tours. "And we are now approaching the appropriately named "Dung Dump Bridge. Does anybody know why we call it that? Yes, sir, you in the Aruba hat." I'm guessing it would go somthing like that.

Continuing with my rants-with-no-direction post, Dick Cheney is coming to Northern for a dinner banquet. I told my parents yesterday and I've never seen them more excited. I told them I probably wasn't going to go because the tickets were $150 bucks a pop. My mom then said, "Don't be so damn cheap. Some people think Cheney is evil but he's still the V.P. You're going dammit." I'm paraphrasing. I guess I'm gonna go see Dick Cheney talk. Maybe we'll get a free pen or a montly planner. Who knows.

Stupid School

Just got back from Alabama Sunday night. It was quite an amazing time. 5 days of drinking, fishing, swimming, tubing, and feeding a donkey. It was awesome. The 13 hour drive wasn't much fun...especially sitting in the backseat of a pick-up truck. It was all worth it though. I've also come to the conclusion that Illinois drivers are by far the most idiotic drivers I've ever driven along side with. We sat on 57 for an hour because nobody would get over until the very last second. Wankers.

School starts tomorrow. I'm actually looking forward to it. I don't have to wear a suit everyday to school and it's easier to fall asleep and get away with it.

Anyway, I'm gonna try and get some Alabama pics up here. They turned out awesome.
