My fortune cookie:
"You will be traveling and coming into a fortune."
I won't be traveling (as far as I know) until March when I plan to go somewhere, anywhere, for spring break at school. No I don't plan to go to any of the hot spots, Cancun, Daytona, etc.. That is for people of an age like my sister Kelly who is going to Ft Lauderdale, it is also for people who are in shape, which alas is not a state I currently have. Right now I feel like a stuffed pig with a cold. Not a pleasant feeling.
Now for the fortune part, this is the part of the fortune that really caught my attention. Mainly because it strikes a chord with one of my recurring childhood fantasies. That somewhere out there, in america one or both of my "real" parents are looking for me, that they are now rich and want to find me and make things right. Sometimes in the dreams thet are already dead and their attorneys are seeking me out for my inheritance. Othertimes they just bump into me on the street, a bar, the bookstore, and our resemblence is so uncanny that they ask me my name and if we may be related. Theses are odd dreams and I have had them on and off in my life. When I read this fortune I had one again. And then I feel guilty, guilty that I should wish that I be found when my family is always a phone call, email or short car ride away. But family and guilt always ride hand in hand.

I want to find out how to blog from my PDA! can't find any info on blogger. But there are references that I keep seeing everywhere. Would also be nice to have a spellcheck.
Weird catalog in the SCUD lab. CENCO from 1996, I never knew that you could buy preserved animal remains. They have a rabbit cut straight down the middle preserved in glass for all organs to be seen. For only $299. Can't find that stuff on their website though. Too bad some of the things are kind of grissly. (grizzly?)
Well another meeting of the "leftovers" complete and still nothing much discussed. We have our first group meeting with the Prof tomorrow. Now I know who is who, or do I?
Went for a walk for a halfhour today, climbed a fence to sneak into Harvard Yard. I am so out of shape. I can't even climb a simple fence. I had to try twice. After the first attempt I turn around and there is a woman walking her dog, Where the hell did she come from? No one is in the park and then there they are to see you when you fail.
"Hi my name is Mike and I am so out of shape that I can't even climb a 7foot chain link fence. Hey you are pretty cute, wanna go out on a date?"
The dog slowly sinks his teeth in my leg, he wants to savor it as he knows I can't run away. The woman lets the dog have her fun. No, none of this happened, I just
made some miniture snow man until they walked away and then I tried again and made it (barelly). Life is good.

Feeling a little blue today, prob because of work and school. The 2 don't mix. I need the money to survive yet I don't have the time to finish school work or school projects. Case in point: there is a career fair tommorrow, yet I am working. Hell I don't even know who is who in my design project group.
I wish I could just quit the job and do something else, but I don't see that happening in the near future. I'm in the SCUD lab right now. Supposed to be working on the Letter of intent, but I forgot to bring in a disk. Good huh? Listening to Reznors picks (note: remember to bring headphones when in lab!). Blur is on, Bowie preceeded. Sounds good even on a crappy speaker.
TO DO:
1) Get motivated, 2nd week of school already.
2) Read.
3) Design Group website.
4) Letter of Intent.
5) Fix up this site.

I don't know I am not a white background person, will have to change it later I guess.
Whenever I play music while I work the time just passes by as fast as can be. Sci Am had an article last month about a scientist trying to prove that time does not exist, that there is no progression, every second or change exists forever in its own dimension. He is trying to, as are many physicists, to make a grand unifying theory for the universe. I'm too tired, more tommorrow, Look I can't even spell why am I trying to talk physics? Sleep.

Ok some minor changes, not all the links are up yet and prob won't be until much later.
This is just a temporary site anyway.
