i spent the fist half of my morning looking for grad school programs. the second half of my morning was spent looking for real jobs (read: chemical engineering jobs). i decided on neither.
lunch review
location: Solomon Pond Mall
restaraunt: Master Wok
meal: The General's Chicken over flavorless brown fried rice
soda: Coke ... tasted suspiciously like Diet Coke
conversation topics: what kelis meant by 'milkshake', japanese views on ghengis khan and the mongols, average nipple size, when it is reasonable to classify rice as 'sticky white rice', and the phrase, "yummy mummy bummy".

so here is what i was gonna write about today:
joe dooling. he is sorta the man. and he atleast acted like it last night when he skipped the getting drunk portion of the night so as to be a legal and safe driver. thanks joe. the waterworks is a good time.
on an entirely unrelated note, i find myself (in general) flip flopping back and forth between being ridiculously excited about something to being numbingly bored with it.
on another unrelated note, my boss isnt here today. and, after wandering around for a few hours and asking about him, i was finally allowed to know where he is. his wife had a baby. so he is presumably dealing with the whole "im a dad" thing. i have taken the situation to mean that now i dont even have to pretend that im doing work. i can look as bored and useless as i feel. previously, i would move from hideout to hideout so only a couple people knew where i was at any given time. i also spent a great deal of time sitting at colleens desk or in the E-test room reading. this is how i finished cryptonomicon (which by the way, has the lamest ending to a 1200 page book that i could ever have imagined). if at any location, 3 different employees or 1 manager saw me, i would nonchalantly (sp) move to my next hideout. a sort of rotation around the buildings seldom used rooms. i had other rules as well, for example if the same employee saw me twice in the same spot more than half hour apart, i had to move immediately. but if it was less, then i waited 10 minutes before relocating. i had perfected my now abandoned method for doing no work in a given day. this was easy, because, quite literally, i havent had a single bit of work for over a week. not one thing. every once and awhile i would have to scramble and look busy. but i never did anything. i spend a lot of time pretending to look at my notebook. it looks like im working, but im not. sometimes ill make a big scene of turning the pages when my desk area is invaded with people. even more rarely ill put on my lab coat and wander around the lab making sure people see me in there. then i move to the next spot.

When Vin Diesel told the Microsoft Word paper clip to go away, it never came back
Vin created belt buckles to prevent his waist from shooting lasers
Aliens sent the Y2K bug to kill Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel answered by having sex with Kirsten Dunst and Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day
Vin Diesel can bench press three hundred--three hundred galaxies, that is
When Vin Diesel is bored he farts into a pool of water which then attracts stray cats and ironically stray dogs, then he watches them fight to the death, he likes it best when the dogs win and celebrates their victory by eating a guitar
It was rumored that Vin Diesel once had sex with Death. When asked about this, Diesel replied "Yeah, I shagged Death once. It was awesome. She swallows."
Instead of chewing his food, Vin Diesel swallows his prey whole and then washes them down with battery acid and nail polish remover. Oh, and Vin realizes the battery acid destroys any nutrients from the food, you fool, but his ability to steal oxygen and nutrients from the Amazon Rain Forest keep him from being malnourished
Vin Diesel can not distinguish between babies and bagels
Everybody Loves Raymond. Except Vin Diesel; he fuckin hates that guy
The universe was created when Vin Diesel punched god in the face. This event was later named the big bang theory
Vin Diesel does not "drop it like it's hot." To suggest that anything would be too hot for him to hold is laughable
Vin Diesel created the first wristwatch, but instead of telling you the time, it shouted racial slurs at you, in Vin Diesel's voice
Nintendo's Super Mario Bros series is based on Vin Diesel's experiences during his stint as an Italian plumber. However, Vin Diesel gave up after his third time being told that the princess was, in yet another castle
Vin Diesel brushes his teeth with a saw
All months used to have 32 days, but Vin Diesel demanded a sacrifice from each month. February refused to comply, so Vin Diesel fucked the month up for good by making it the worst month ever
Vin Diesel invented Spanish, but not Spain. Por que? Porque he COULD
Never play Rock, Paper, Scissor with Vin Diesel; he can read minds - and he never holds back
If you ask Vin Diesel "How much wood would a wooodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood," Vin Diesel will promptly chuck a woodchuck through your skull
ok, i guess thats enough. i really like that site.

there is something i had planned on writing about. i dont really remember though. i do have a hazy memory of this, and i think kinlin and hamel know. i remember them saying that they would remind me. or maybe that was a dream. who knows.
i almost slept through work today. woke up 45 minutes late to my phone ringing. i must have gotten up on time and shut off my alarm. though i dont remember. maybe i never turned it on. we went to the waterworks last night. it was pretty good. the amount of unapproachable beautiful girls was astounding. hungover at work is the WORST.
i heard this joke the other day: The great noontide or the recline of the west! pretty good, no?

Random Facts about Vin Diesel. that site is AWESOME. you definitely have to check it out. keep hitting refresh for new facts. i was going to write down some of the best ones, but literally every single one of them was worthy of making the cut so none will be written.
beer die made a dramatic resurgence this weekend thanks to a michael hoye. the game made sporadic appearances in the days of my youthful drinking interspliced with games of beer pong (note that this is dramatically different from beirut). since college, beirut had in fact completely dominated my beer drinking games list. id say over the course of this 3 day weekend atleast 15 hours were spent playing beer die. good times.
last night we spawned a new idea: a shop that sold and delivered cakes. its name: "Just Cake". that way, when people come into the shop or call us up and ask if we have anything else the response is simple, "nope, just cake". okay, so for some reason this idea sounded way better last night.
on a related note, we made a trip to providence to purchase some waterpipes. the first shop we checked out named, Honest Bob's Head Shop (or something equally lame), was more of a flea-market type dirthole. the second, ethnic concepts, was good. 3 water pipes were purchased and im currently accepting bids for my pipes name. restrictions include but are not limited to: girls names only, not veronica, monica, janet, or kristi. give me your suggestions.
on yet one more related note, providence is a trash-hole. in spanish it would be, providence es una basura. i feel sorry for the 4-5 people i know living in and around the stinking anus that is providence. i dont think the "city" has one redeeming quality (aside from the head shop). it is a bad, bad place. dont go there.
i think i may have just stolen an idea for my senior design project. it involves slave labor and cheap electricity. more to come.
