Garage sales and haircut.
- Radiohead - OK Computer --- $1
- $35 Starbucks Thermos --- $1.50
- Framed picture of creepy Alex from A Clockwerk Orange --- $1
Total cost: $3.50
What more can one ask from a garage sale day?
I also got my haircut for the first time since last June. And Toni even joined me and took pictures!
Well, I guess that the pictures are as their own posts in this blog. I will try to make this work better later on, but I'm kinda tired right now.
I also went to see the Revenge of the Sith again today with my little cousins and my little brother and his friend. The movie is really good, and I'm afrain to admit that I am now a Star Wars geek as well. I'm a more hardcore Star Trek geek, but a good balance between Star Trek and Star Wars is necissary for a good and balanced geek.
And I want to give a shout out to Mike Pecoraro for giving me a ride to the theater so that I could pick up the tickets before that sold out. You da man Mike!

Summer and Geekopia.
Summer is good.
I did not get the internship that I was hoping for this summer due to a miscommunication between Parrone Engineering and myself. And I’m glad. Working a full time job this summer would have...sucked. Instead I’m working at Hyatt’s Classic Video selling porn and taking it easy. I figure that I’ll get a research next summer and probably an internship or co-op after that so this summer, a job at a video store is good.
Last night (or this morning) I went to see Star Wars III: The Revenge of the Sith. I went with high school friends but met up with Clarkson friends and ran into other friends. I’m not a huge fan of Star Wars, and do not own any cool Star Wars costumes, but I do own and did wear my Star Trek: The Next Generation uniform.
No one who I didn’t know said anything to me at the show, but this morning at 10:00 my dad gave me a call and told me that someone was talking about me on the radio:
WHAM 1180 10:00 AM

“...I promised my kids I would take them to Star Wars, so we went to this little theater, it's a suburb of Rochester...but nobody was dressed up, sorry, one guy dressed up in a Star Trek uniform. Which I don't even know where you buy those...the guy had the Star Trek uniform along with the little thing that, you know, Jean Luke Picard used to push on his chest...be-beep...the little communicator. And yes I'm a Star Trek geek, you know what? I'm a Star Trek geek and snub, hang on just a second, my staff is laughing right now...THIS IS A DAY WHERE GEEKS UNITE! THIS IS A DAY WHERE GEEKS CAN STAND UP AND SHOUT IT FROM THE MOUNTAINTOPS! I AM A GEEK!...so anyway, this guy, this was the only geek that was there, and you know what? You need that. Especially if you're going to the midnight showing, you need the geeks to be there..."
According to Glenn Beck, I am the only geek in a theater full of Star Wars geeks.
BOW DOWN TO ME FOR I AM KING GEEK!
