This guy writes from behind the scenes at the Olympics. Pretty interesting stuff goes on there, sometimes even hilarious stuff.

If I believed in horoscopes, this would be a good day…

Lately you may have been alternating between enthusiasm and total boredom with regard to your career, dear Pisces. Perhaps you aren’t all that sure if you want to continue doing what you’re doing. However, today, unexpected information could come your way, which may indeed point the way and open the door for new plans and positive opportunities. Don’t let insecurity stand in your way. This could be the break you’ve been waiting for!

I’m going in NYC later this evening for dinner and a movie. Should I be concerned about this type of thing going on, while the FBI are on high alert due to a terror threat?

This girl should win the Olympic gold medal, if cuteness were the only measurement.

But that’s not the only reason I like figure skating. The other night, some couple came out with a Pink Floyd program. They skated to the edited sounds of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, which is an amazing piece of music. I used it in a music analysis project in college… it was fun to analyze that type of music instead of the usual Mozart and such. The best part about that is that you can get as much out of it as you can from Mozart.

A Legend From The University of Delaware

Make sure you read all the way to the bottom, or else you’ll miss my point, which is: Only The Best Of All Things Come From The University Of Delaware (my alma mater).

It’s strange how technology in the Star Trek television series and movies has shaped what scientists look to discover. The basic underpinnings of teleportation have been discovered.

Get Ready For Enron: The Movie. What better way to spread ignorance than to take a highly sensitive topic, add fluff to make it entertaining, and get the facts wrong for the sake of creating a good story? I can see it now… Ken Lay kidnapped by al-Qaeda terrorists…

To be fair, any ignorance isn’t the fault of the industry. The television stations and production companies are businesses and they’ll do whatever they have to do to make a profit. (…. Or to tell people they’re making a profit.)

Tonight, my father’s girlfriend’s eldest son is going to his junior prom. First he’s going to a pre-prom party at his friend’s huge house, then he and his date are getting picked up by a limousine, then he will head to the prom. Afterwards, there’s a post-prom party as well.

In my time, I’ve been to five proms. First was my junior prom (see the picture above). B. said she’d go with me if no one else would. I don’t even think I asked anyone else. We went as “just friends,” and I think a day or two later, I ended up introducing her to C., who ended up being her boyfriend for a time.

Moving on… next year was my senior year in high school. I went to three proms that year. First there was the junior prom. L., a girl I knew from choir, asked me to go with her. We weren’t close friends, but she was a really nice person to be around. I had fun. I also went to a junior prom at a different high school with a different B. I don’t even remember how I got to know her. She was nice, but definitely more interested in me than I was with her.

The reason for that is because I spent most of my senior year with crushes on other girls. In fact, I got turned down by one of them for the senior prom. She said she just didn’t want to go to the senior prom. She was a sophomore, I think. Of course, she ended up going with someone else. I ended up going to the prom with another girl who told me she’d go with me if no one else would. She was a freshman who just wanted to go to the prom to hang around with the older kids, from what I could tell. But she was nice, and I think she had a good time. I didn’t see her much.

After high school, I went away to college but started a long-distance relationship with a girl I knew, J. She was a high school junior at the time, and she asked me to her prom. I went back to her high school at the end of my freshman year at college to attend the prom with her, and I have to say that it was my most enjoyable prom experience.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t know anyone else there. Maybe it’s because my date was my girlfriend. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t in high school. For whatever reason, the fifth one was the charm. However, none of my proms ever involved a limousine.

I will be able to have my license reinstated at least until April 1. That makes me happy. Now all I need is a job…

I tried contacting someone I worked with at the University of Delaware when I was a student there. She had me working all around campus doing various web consulting jobs. Unfortunately, she has since retired and can’t be much help to me as far as getting a job at the University is concerned. (And I thought I had a pretty good shot going that route, through her.)
