One never knows what the evenings rounds may turn up. Now, thanks to this wonderful quiz (by way of Michelle Malkin), we may all put to rest those nagging fears about which of The Incredibles characters we are.
What? You do not suffer from these sorts of feelings?
Come to think of it, neither did I until I took the quiz. Apparently I'm Edna...which probably raises more questions than it answers.

Non-Frozen Precipitation
Awefully novel concept, after this winter. There are even bare patches in the back yard - puddles now, but still devoid of snow.
Anyhow, back from break and getting back in the swing of things after Easter. Six weeks 'till the end of school! That doesn't seem possible, but it is. It's really amazing how much one can not do over break, considering the time. In the course of last week, despite all good intentions, I managed to not do Physics homework, not do Algebra homework, and not do any reading for Circuits class. The biggest accomplishment of the week consisted of putting up bookshelves in my room, resulting in more organization and an increase in available floor real-estate. I also stayed up late and generally threw my schedule out the window. Profitable time, what. And, of course, I was so busy I had absolutely no time to post here.
And now, more later. Need to catch up on some things.

Spring Is Coming!
Really. I saw another Robin at church yesterday. And now I'm heading for bed so I can get up at five tomorrow morning and go shovel/snow-blow a foot+ of nice fresh white stuff down at church. Awesome, I tell ya. Absolutely awesome. Spent a couple-three hours outside this afternoon tunneling with siblings, and probably do some more tomorrow. Best banks we've had since we moved, I think - they're all higher than the snow-plane of the yard, which is around three feet or so. If only I had a digital camera, I'd be photoblogging this...
Now on a completely random different topic, these things have got to be the best flower pots I've seen. (No! I'm not thinking of spring! Or I wasn't...)
On to bed, then. A great prospect of a morning awaits. Really too bad about the lack of camera, it is.

The Manalo I Have Discovered
Stickman says, not of this world, the Manalo is. For the wearing of the shoes, Manalo has advice. The world of the shoes is the Manalo's. But the Manalo does not talk all about the shoes, also he talks about the Poncho and the warmers of the legs and the song and dance. (And the other fashion advice, of course.)
The Manalo, he is possessing of the super fantastic sense of humour. Stickman says, the Stickman enjoys the Manalo. But the Manalo, does he have the Force?

Those Darned Feather Quilts
They must be needing some really good shakings this year. Yet another six-eight inches of snow, complete with high winds and cold temperatures. And busy days. It would have to dump last night, and of course school wasn't canceled today.
The roads were pretty horrendous, as well. Before the cold front came in last night it rained for a while and then when the cold front got here, it froze. Which made things really slick. Like you could skate on Rt. 25 through Gorham kind of slick, especially once the morning rush had polished it. In fact, some people skated their cars off the road. The best way to stop was, literally, to steer into the shoulder and do your deceleration there because the snow had that much more traction than the ice did.
But spring is coming, folks! I saw three Robins at school this morning. Welcome to March in Maine.
After that wonderful drive in, I was one of five guys who showed up for class (out of about fourty). And some of those guys live in the dorms, for pete's sake. Naturally, those of us who were there don't.
Indeed, I truly admire the dedication of modern college students. Idiots. Don't complain about your grades when you aren't there 1/3rd of the time.

I Have A Lot Of Respect For Those People
Real bloggers are to be admired. I'm talking about people who blog full time, or even outside and around a day job and still crank out the commentary by the bucket. I cant really do that...besides having less to say on a great many given subjects, I generally just don't have the time. Too much to do. School work to do, computers to work on, side projects, and a few other things. At the moment that includes resurrecting one of the old IBM towers for a windows box. (Currently an eMachine is filling that position, but it's fan is dying and sounds horrible.) And once I've got a quiet windows machine back, I probably need to do a thorough overhaul of my area of the basement. It's better than it was a couple weeks ago (I actually have room to work on things), but could use a little more work (since I only have room to work on one thing at a time).
Yeah, so anyway, I am a busy person. But not so busy I can't kill time between classes at school surfing around and digging up clock hacks. Rather ingeneous, putting one in a G5 like that. Not, perhaps, the most tactful of mods, but interesting nonetheless. And I seem to be developing this thing for interesting clocks, but more on that later. Time to quit rambling and do something else.
