Sorry about the lack of a sleep deprevation induced update last night. I tried, I really did, but I overshot the sleep deprived feeling and just went straight to the sleep feeling. So I turned in early (2 AM is early right?) and slept almost 12 hours. Yes, not having class till 4 does pay off. HOWEVER, I am in a alcohol-like induced state at the moment (though I don't drink alcohol), which is remarkably simliar to sleep-deprevation state. Yes, I think my brain just produces it naturally or something. I really am that amazing. But in some what interesting news, one of my best friends has scored higher on the nerd test than I did. I never knew she had it in her. So my congratulations goes out to Jenny, for being the nerd I wish I could be.

The effort to fight piracy has took what Microsoft does best, and created a CD that crashes your computer when you try to play it in the CD-ROM drive. It's a Celine Dion CD, so while her heart may gone on, your computer will not (I can't take credit for that line, it was on a message board). So far however it's only being used in European countries, hence no one in America cares yet.

In other things most American's dont' care about, SETI (the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (sounds important doesn't it?)) is looking at the most promising ga ussians for further study in hopes of finding intelligent life in space. And yes, I do help by crunching SETI packets every night. The real fun starts though when we finally make contact. Who exactly gets the opportunity to offend them first?

I also finally figured out the crazy scheme that the Library of Congress, and the UF libraries, use to keept track of their books. It was so much simpler in elementary school, as were the books. Curious George, Bernstein Bears, Boxcar Chilren, Babysitters Club (er uh, I didn't read that last series, no....), Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, ahhh, those were the days.

Frisbee is fun.

The Reitz is having a Dance Dance Revolution tourny for the DDR Gators (the local UF team) on April 27th. So mark your calenders boys and girls and come out at noon to see the best players at UF tear it up on the DDR machine. There is also quite a debate about whether playing DDR attracts girls or not. The fact that in a year and a half of playing, the only females who you could say "hit" (she said I looked like a Backstreet Boy while dancing) on me are over the age of 40, I'm inclined to believe it doesn't. However, a very good friend of mine (who plays DDR herself) told me that it would work, and her being a girl, I'm inclined to believe her. Apparently girls love guys who can dance, but then the debate rages on whether playing DDR could really be considered dancing, or just looking stupid on a videogame machine. And speaking of dancing, I want to learn how to ballroom dance. It looks fun.
