Since I'm the secretary at History Day today (For some reason, people seem to want me to be a secretary this semester. Maybe it's my calling.), I've been surfing the interwebs in between tallying contest results and taking photos with the fancy DSLR camera that I wish I could have.
Just thought you kids might be interested in some of the fun things I've encountered along the way:
Really Bored Dude Camouflages Self as Paper, Bags and Boxes at an Ikea Store via Gizmodo.
Catholic Bishops Call for Abandonment of Technology During Lent via Gizmodo.
Biography of the last Chinese eunuch via BoingBoing.
Also, a quick update on the state of my Skittles vodka endeavor. I've had many people (OK, two people.) encourage me to make the Skittles vodka, so... I will be making it. Soon. Maybe not tomorrow, but at least in the next couple of weeks. I'll keep you updated on the process.
I must go back to my duties. I'd rather go to sleep.

Live Writer and Ramblings
Trying out Windows Live Writer. Kevin Purdy recommended it as one of the top ten blogging tools today on Lifehacker. I’m really not sure how I feel about it yet, but it seems to be working well. It will be especially good if I don’t actually have to go to Blogger to compose my entries. I think I’ll like it a lot.
I’ve been watching Hallmark movies all day long. Well, between reading and playing in the snow. My mind has turned to mush. Anyway, I’ll give Windows Live Writer a week to see if I like it very much, and if I do, I’ll certainly let you know.
Hmm… That dude never got back to me about Crystal Head Vodka. I thought it was probably some sort of ruse. I’m still sad about the vodka though; I’d really like some. I think I’m going to order my glass flasks this week. I’m dying to make my Skittles vodka. I’m especially excited about the yellow flavor. The yellow ones are my favorite. Hopefully, it works as well as I hope this blogging tool works.
It’s time for cake now. I made it. Hopefully, it turns out delicious.

Vodka, Chrome, Ebay, and Rejection
I would like to make Skittles infused vodka as seen here: Skittles Vodka Tutorial. The only problem is that I'm not quite willing to spend thirty dollars for these cool glass flasks: Cool glass flasks. I will eventually convince myself that I need them, but it won't be for a couple of weeks at least. I'll update when I finally do get them and "taste the rainbow."
Speaking of vodka, I never found my Crystal Head Vodka. Those Californians are lucky. I'm super jealous.
Moving on... I decided to download Google Chrome again, to enable me to log into two separate Google accounts at the same time. I waited it out forever as I was sure that my beloved Firefox would eventually get an extension to do just that (they kind of had one with their IE Tab, but that doesn't seem to be working anymore), but they have yet to do it, and I got desperate. It's just a minor annoyance, but enough of an annoyance for me to finally do something about it. Google Chrome seems fine. It's no Firefox for sure, but it's alright.
Ebay news: I sold my broken iPod. The winning bid was for 30 dollars which is super exciting since I was only expecting it to go for 10 at the most, but the jackass buyer hasn't paid for it yet. Another one of those minor annoyances. He'd better pay it. It's the rules. I've yet to get my refund for the purchase I made that arrived broken. The chick that sold it to me is really starting to piss me off. She keeps telling me she will send it, but then doesn't do it. It's not like it takes any amount of time to send me money via Paypal, probably a minute at most. I got sob story the other day about how she'd been too busy. Did I mention that it would only take a minute? Soo annoying.
Last, but not least... two letters of rejection arrived in the mail for me yesterday. In a nutshell, Purdue "Unfortunately we are not able to offer you admission to our graduate program."; UW-Madison "I regret to inform you that the Department of History has not accepted your application for admission to the Graduate Program." That brings the grand total of rejection to three. I'm highly doubtful that any kind of doctoral program is in my immediate future. It's really disappointing. I blame it on the economy.
Now, I will try to write on my thesis; however, it seems so pointless if I am not going to be a doctor one day.
Does anyone have any preference as to what I sell next on ebay? I will get rich on ebay if I can't go to grad school. That's my response.
