jury duty and other oddities

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Today as I was driving home from the Riverview Annual Staff meeting retreat I realized that I was supposed to “report” for jury duty this week and that I had forgot to do so (I wasn’t even sure it was this week).  Luckily when I finally called the right place, they told me that I was not needed today and so I was off the hook (what would have happened to me if they needed me today, I don’t know).  The weird thing is that to “report” for jury duty means I have to call this number after 5pm every day this week to see if they need me the next day.  I’ve never really known anyone that has had to report for jury duty, so it’s kinda weird.

My other oddity is that my scale seems to be smoking crack.  Not more than 5 days ago it was saying that I weighed 184 lbs (yikes!), which was the 5 lbs I said I lost in my last post.  Strangely for the last few days it has been saying that I weigh 189 lb.  I’m not sure how this is possible.  I know your weight fluctates throughout the day/week, but seriously?  I’m all bummed out about these numbers, wondering if I really even lost anything…  It’s not going to stop me though.  I’ve ran 9 our of the last 14 days, and I’m going to continue running every weekday (is this bad for you?)  I’m also still on track with the 100 push-up program that Noel and some other people are doing.  So my goal is 1.5 lbs/week until I’m down to 140-150 lbs (or super sexy slim, regardless of numbers).

googled

So, at the request of Mr. Godin, I decided to google myself.

Luckily this blog made spot #8, unluckily was spot #2. You’ll have to see for yourself.

i thought it was neat…

Maybe you will to?

More real updates to come…

a couple of things I found today…

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

First is for the developer/designer in me. I found this in my feeds, and I think it is right on the money.

Second is this cool article from a Canadian news site (also through my feeds). I really like the sweet ideas flowing around lately. None of them are really complex, but executed correctly they show an understanding of the current culture and they always add something positive. Sorta like the free hugs campaign. Noel showed this video at Riverview a long time ago and I keep thinking it would be sweet to do (especially on campus).

I had something else, but I can’t remember what it is anymore. I’m sure if it’s important enough, I’ll remember.

just plain weird

Some people have dreams where they are naked in front of a group of people and it’s really embarrassing.

Not me though. I had a dream whilst camping where I was naked in front of a ton of people, but it was the coolest thing ever. It was something like a play in an auditorium, and I decided it would be sweet if I went out on the stage only wearing a cape. Everyone cheered.

I must be strange…

Who you gonna call…

Kristie’s mom found this dog in guidepost magazine, and let me just say, it’s crazy.

So, I came across this today whilst reading my feeds. It’s pictures of some of the main characters of the Princess Bride from back then and now.

You just have to read it for yourself.

Apparently some secular nerds deciphered a tablet describing a person written about in the book Jeremiah. Kinda neat.

If you wanna read the whole article (which seems like it’s from an unbiased source), you can find it here.
