Stolen from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cearalaith:
Shuffle through your iPod or other music player of choice and type out the 1st line of the 1st 20 songs that you come across. Place them into a poem, with the 21st song as the title of the poem.
"And, Feeling The Way I Do"
I'm all busted up
It's true you sold your guitar
It's hard to wake up
This is the greatest and best song in the world
Who's knows which one of us is here
He sleeps with a chainsaw
Time, is never time at all
Here we go, vertigo, video, vertigo
You have found god in you
I don't know who to trust, no surprise
I would have thought in the average affair
She waits for me at night
Time's not sleeping
Don't look back, a new day's breaking
Come with me and bless the night
She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
Instant karma's gonna get you
Taken time, she needs
I would swallow my pride
Saying I love you |

So yesterday I got to break up a (nearly physical) fight in class. Who knew that someone's cell phone ringing could lead to a very loud argument? Seroiusly, as long as I've been in the college academic setting (which can now be measured in a dog's lifetime), I have never seen people nearly come to blows in a classroom.
Of course, it happens while I'm teaching...
The one good thing out of it was that the head of the department thought very highly of my deescaltion skills in keeping things from getting too out of hand. Not sure if it helps a resume' for a cognitive psychology professor to put "Excellent verbal fighing deescalation skills", but I may put it anyway. |

1) Update any or all of my social networking pages.
2) Play Lux (Online version of Risk).
3) Engage in random conversations with the other grad students in the lab when I'm working there
4) Play with the cat when I'm working at home. |

| Writer's Block: My First Car |
[May. 3rd, 2008|08:44 pm] |
The 1st car that I owned was a '86 Nissan Sentra that I named Steve, the little car that might. Anyone that knew me and that car in Houston knows it's tendance to die after about 30-40 minutes of city driving, only to start up after avout 15-20 minutes of rest. Twas a strange car, but it was my 1st. |

These idiots have to show up...
Needless to say, myself and many, many others inthe community will be there tomorrow to drown out the hate. |

Game design...I've actually started to construct a game of sorts intended to help me answer questions about problem solving for my dissertation. If I have the time/money/inclination, I'm going to try and make it something sellable once I'm done.
My other choice would be flipping houses. I've got to believe that I'm smarter than the majority of the rookies they get on shows that manage to triple their budget and their timeline and still somehow make 40-50k/month of work. the market may be down now, but I bet there is still money to be made there. |

It's funny, as I sit here waiting for the party guests to arrive, how much it feels like waiting for the snowstorm that buried us yesterday. Everything is as ready as it's going to be, all you can do now is wait...
BTW, pictures (if I remember to take them) will be posted. |

As my odomette gets ready to roll over another click to the big 3-0, I find myself thinking about where I was in my life during past birthdays, the person I was then, who I though I would be by now, that sort of think. Anyway, I'll probably be posting several times on the subject as time allows, this week is escaping quickly, and the weekend is packed full of thing to do. Speaking of which...
If anyone happens to be able to make to Dekalb on Saturday, I'm having a little fiesta, since the Vegas trip thing didn't work out. Contact me if you can make it, and I'll get you the info. |
