No rest for the wicked
Yet another weekend has breezed by without so much as a minor slow down. Things are just like that in the springtime. Last weekend it was Sydney’s Birthday party (check out Liz’s blog for ample pics of that occasion.)
This weekend I went to Maryland to help out with their Odyssey of the Mind tournament. It was a nice, quiet, relaxing affair with a fraction of the teams we had in DE. But I learn stuff every tournament I go to. I also got an invite to go to NJ in two weeks to help with theirs, which I’ve started to look forward to. Looks like it’ll be a record tying year, with 4 total tournaments. I need to do more research next year and try to plan in 5. Or more. It’d be nifty to be like an official for hire.
Hmm… other news. Nighthawk is well over 48k now, probably closer to 49K. Still needs a bath. Still, for a tank, it did very well in the craziness that is the Capital Beltway yesterday (but that’s a whole different rant.)
I wish I’d made a bracket for the Men’s tournament, cause I would have had the final nailed. Hopefully the Gators will trounce OSU for a second time this year. I wonder if that’s ever happened in college sports - the same two teams playing a championship in two different sports.
Oh, picked up Command and Conquer 3 on Friday. It’s a nice add-on to the series so far, and they’ve got a whole lot of famous people to do cut scenes. The updates to the units are fun too, and I’ve only played as one side. I just need some friends to get it as well so that we can go head to head.
FerretGallery will be offline a little while as I need to make some updates to stuff. Mostly moving where it is hosted from. Fear not it will return, and hopefully faster than it was.
Lastly, and mostly to make sure all the upload stuff works after moving around, I snapped this in a Ben and Jerry’s yesterday after the MD tournament:

It’s a 20 scoop sized bucked. That’s a whole lot of Cherry’s Garcia. As it was, I only had a shake with that in it. But it was quite tasty.
Oh, and yes, I had thought of a great April Fool’s day post, but I came home and got immediately into basketball, and didn’t get to it. It would have been great though. It’d have been hard to top Google’s prank this year, however.

What did google do? I don’t think I got on the computer yesterday.

My friends and I used someone’s extra dining points senior year to share a Vermonster at Ben&Jerry’s in Trabant. The problem wasn’t the amount of ice cream (and toppings - they throw whole bananas, cookies, whatever you want in there), but rather the melting rate and the fact that everything melts together to form one mixed flavor. Still, a recommended experience.

It was an ad introducting their Beta TISP - Toilet ISP. It was pretty funny. They still have it up at:
