I'm making this a habit

Even though I have little if anything to post tonight I still feel obligated to do so. I figure that if I don't update just because I don't have anything to say that soon I'll just end up not posting at all. We just can't have that can we. But c'mon, this is me, I can always find SOMETHING to talk about even if it's pure nonsense. So here we go...

Did you even have one of those mornings where you wake up way too early and you're so tired that you just can't fall asleep again so you lay there in a half sleeping stupor thinking about the most random things? I know everyone does it. This morning was one of those times. All sorts of crazy things went through my head as I laid there. I came up with a special rule for four square in case I ever get to serve and can pick my own rules. I would make it so you can catch the ball. I know some of you are probably thinking "that's just dumb". But here's the thing... If you caught it you couldn't just throw it and easily get someone out. If you catch it you can't get someone out when you put the ball back in play, someone else has to touch it first. So it kinda gives you the option to save the ball and keep yourself from getting out but at the same time you can't use it to try and pick someone off. I think it could work. So then as I continued to not sleep I came to a realization. I really AM a "pendugroupie" (I was told it was official). I completely forgot that Katie was a Pend as well. I t was one of those things that all of the sudden just clicked. Things that she said last year in away messages and such that I thought was just here being silly actually had meaning! Go figure. So yeah, apparently I've been friends with Pends the whole time I've been at Pitt. Then later I guess the 4 square thing led me to think about squaring numbers (don't ask me why). I have never thought about the reason why a number to the 2nd power was "squared" and to the 3rd power was "cubed". I had never thought of it geometrically before. I realize that this means absolutely nothing and you're probably just shaking your head saying to yourself "Way to go Eric, you're a friggin' genius...". But I felt as if I had realized some profound truth. How bout you just lay off and let me enjoy my moment will ya?

I didn't have to work today. I was actually pretty surprised. But I certainly wasn't going to complain. It gave me time to take care of some crap that I've been meaning to do. Josh wanted to copy my music and such so I transferred everything to his server along with the files on my external hard drive so I could reformat it. It just needed done so I figured I'd do that while the resources were available to me. I think I'm gonna use the smaller partition to install Tiger onto once I get my copy so I can test to see that all my programs work before taking the leap and upgrading my laptop.

Tomorrow I need to call Mike from Bucknell about some final info for this job they offered me. It isn't really anything special, just carrying a pager a couple hours a week in case the network or servers go down. It's not enough to count as a summer job so I need to keep looking, but at least it'll be a little extra money and it'll look good on my resume.

I think tonight we might try to hit up Quaker Steak for wing night one last time this year. Mendick thought it sounded like a good idea so hopefully people will be up for it.

Wow, sometimes I even surprise myself. All this from what started as nothing to say. Pretty good if I do say so myself.

Time to hit the sack so I can start it all over again tomorrow.
