renaissance festival

it was quite amusing, i have to say. zilch the tory steller was back, of course. spoonerisms are very funny...if you don't believe me, just create one with "walk in the forest" or "fancy palace" it's amazing how fairy tales can sound so dirty =)

and the tortuga twins are likewise hilarious. although, i can't quite see why any parents would bring their kids to that, especially if they're under 10 (and there were several) they're wrong on so many levels. for example, one of their t-shirts has the text:

[front] "We've upped our comedy standards..."
[back] "...So up yours."

After which, they went up to a kid and said "Have you parents buy you this shirt...we call it the principal's special. Wear it to school Monday and you'll get Tuesday off!"

so wrong, but yet so funny. i'd've bought a shirt, but $18 is too much for cheap quality shirt. i got mocked by the blonde one (scaramouche), but i'm not big, bald, or mean enough to warrant active participation. oh well =)

unfortunately, coming back meant i have a whoooole lot of work to do. bah!!

late night convos are interesting

especially when i should be doing homework.

wait, when am i never supposed to be doing homework? oh, that's right...i'm an engineering student.

but yeah, who's on first is quite an amusing comic thingy. i probably ought to hear it to fully appreciate it though. and somewhere in the mix, i start talking to a friend from waaaay back (i mean, i remember sitting next to meg smith in 2nd grade...that kind of way back), and just talking about the amusing anecdotes from elementary school. i need to find time to go see cool people scattered across the place. except that whole "engineering student" thing. bah!

but yeah, other conversation was nifty too. :)

it's nice weather, finally. i love autumnal, brisk, football weather. not that i care one way or the other about football. yeah. and after so long without sleep, i get kind of weirded out. eesh.

what my sister found and passed on to me:

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

so true. there might be some even funnier darwin awards, that way. as it is, i think that the government has repealed the law of natural selection and is saving the stupid people from itself. tis unfortunate.
