They have to order the replacement glass from the factory. The glass itself will cost about $650, and who knows how much labor will cost. Thanks for fucking me guys!!!

Some jerk broke a window on my car. I'm pissed! It wasn't a break-in because it was the rear passenger side window, and it was just shattered, not broken. The point of impact was at the top of the window, and there's a scuff mark on the plastic seal there too, so it was probably a sports-related mishap. My car was parked in lot 59 East by the playing fields, so I'm not surprised if some hyper-active frat doofuses where playing around and some dumbshit threw the ball too hard. Stupid fuckups! Now I have to waste my whole day to wait for the glass replacement guy to show up!

I'll tell you one thing for sure, I'm not leaving my car in Lot 59 overnight anymore.

I don't think this is very funny, but Kelly thinks it's hilarious.

Brad hates me

"No I don't" - Brad

This is what I look like when Kelly gets on my nerves.

Anybody need a wedding dress?

Oh. I just found it on my Amazon.com wish list. My DVD commentary would be on ... Mulholland Drive. That's the one I've been trying to think of. It's not my most favorite movie, but I like it alot, and I think I know what David Lynch was trying to accomplish with it.

Ever since I learned about the new "icebreaker" question ("If you could do a DVD commentary, what movie would you choose to discuss?") I've been trying to figure out an answer. I know there's a movie that I know well enough to talk about, but I just can't seem to remember it. I know it's there, sitting in the back of my brain. I even looked through my DVD collection, and the only thing that popped out at me was the Godfather, but I'm not sure that's the one. I could do a pretty good Godfather commentary, though. At least I think I could.

I guess I should blog more often, if chocokelly is just going to do it for me.

All beer and no food
Makes Brad tired, cranky, and rude.

Brad got drunk last night. I'm trying to wake him up, but he keeps whining that his head hurts. (funf) I'm blogging for Brad since he hasn't posted anything in a few days. Last night Lisa said that one time she accidently called Dr. Fouch "Fat Mouch" instead of Matt Fouch. I can't get that out of my head. I think it's so funny. She said she covered herself by saying: "hey, that can be your rapper name."

Kelly got me a kick-ass piece of actinolite that she found in California this weekend. It's awesome! When I go to my brother's graduation next month, I'm going to make a stop to look for more.

Sorry for not blogging in a while. I've been having too much fun with my nation. There's a whole weird subculture with NationStates. I don't understand it, because the game itself is so simple and restricted. Everything else that these people do is entirely created and sustained by themselves.

I'm gearing up for a fun geology-themed weekend at Cherry, AZ.

Yay! I got my GSRP grant!

Before Beth left, she gave me a strange-looking mineral specimen. It was made up of very tiny botryoidal crystals with an earthy luster. The color was brown for the most part, but it had this really cool purple, blue, and green iridescence. But Beth didn't tell me what it was! I've spent lot's of time in the mineralogy back room looking for a sample like that, so that I could identify it. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything. Then Kelly dropped a clue. She said there was a sample in the Geology Museum. So today I searched for it. I pretty much looked at every single specimen before I found it. Of all the possible minerals, it was siderite! The mineralogy books I have talk about botryoidal and earthy siderite, but there is no mention of the cool colors. I searched the internet and only found one picture that looked like my sample.

So I have to say, congratulations, Beth. That's one hell of a mineral specimen!

I had a nice weekend. There was a ton of grading to do, though, and I didn't finish it all. Gotta do that today. In the meantime, check out my new nation.

Well, the conference is over now and I'm safe at home. It was fun. I don't know how much exposure my poster got because they didn't have a dedicated poster session. Oh well. I get to hug and kiss Kelly now.
