(First off, apologies to everyone who had to deal with me tonight. I am in an inordinately pissy mood right now. For those of you who were lucky enough not to have to interact with me, I am having one of those moments where even I wish I didn’t know me. Luckily, I got to walk home in the rain and that helped. One of my favorite Buddhist phrases is “There is nothing you must say, there is nothing you must do, there is nothing you must think, there is nothing you must know. However, it is useful to remember that fire is hot and rain makes things wet.” Tonight I needed to be reminded that rain makes things wet.)
(I’d write about what’s on my mind but even I can’t figure it out anymore. My entire mental construct is stuck in a corner. All I’ve ever done my entire life is search for the correct answer and I’ve found myself in situations where there are none. And it is really difficult to dump logic overboard when that is what brought you this far.)
Anyway, last set of pictures. One is of Judd, Rosemary, Rudolfo and myself at the Backer. I’m still not quite sure how we got four MBAs in one place at the same time. Well, the place was easy. As I told someone, if anyone I knew was in town I was certain that they would stop by the Backer. Next picture is of Rosemary, myself and Donna, my favorite bartender in all the world. Seriously, when I become Mark Cuban rich I’ll just hire Donna to be my personal bartender just so we can hang out all the time. Finally, one picture of the Grotto because a) I’m amazed at how well it came out and b) that is something you just don’t get at any other school.
On a less serious note, I read this week about what has to be the best movie tie-in promotion ever. In order to promote the Simpsons Movie they are going to take a handful of 7-11s and turn them into Kwik-E-Marts. I’m not kidding, they plan on changing all of the displays to resemble the home of Apu. Including selling Buzz Cola, Krusty-o’s and Squishies. Tell me, is there anyone reading this who wouldn’t make an effort to shop at a Kwik-E-Mart? I’m willing to drive a couple of hours just to check this out. I can pretty much guarantee that they are going to make a mint out of this.
In other movie news, they still won’t reveal what Megatron is going to transform into other than it won’t be a gun. The official reason is that it would be like Darth Vader transforming into a light saber as someone else would have to hold it. I just think they are scared of selling toy guns and the producers don’t have any problems with ruining the memories of my youth. It ruins the entire character of Megatron. He’s so bad ass he just transforms into a gun to kill you as opposed to that wussy Optimus Prime who turns into a gas guzzling sixteen wheeler that slowly uses up the planets natural resources, increases the greenhouse gasses and eventually results in the melting of the ice caps. Or at least that is how I interpreted it.
Oh well, that’s it for me. One quarter of the year done. When I figure out what I accomplished in those months I’ll let you know. Trust me, I have so much on my mind right now I need to prioritize what life altering issues I should address first. Which makes those tasks like buying groceries become that much more difficult. Have a fun weekend.
