What Would Serge Do?
I picked up a passenger for my drive back to the Happy Valley Sunday night, an old friend's little sister who is apparently living in the freshman dorms. Now usually I'm all about company when I drive but there are some things you just can't do when your driving in a car with someone who is more or less a complete stranger. For instance talking to yourself is frowned upon and so is blasting your most horrible music while singing along completely out of tune at the top of your lungs. I've find these activities to be very helpful when trying to stay awake on a late night drive but are also very helpful in encouraging passengers to leap while traveling at a high rate of speed. So I kept all my conversations with Myself confined to the inside of my head, put on my least bizarre and annoying music, and limited my musical participation to tapping lightly on the steering wheel. In other words I had a pretty miserable trip. Now my favorite literary character Serge would have left her sitting on the side of the road, turned up the tunes, and went on his merry (ok maybe criminally- insane-way is more realistic) . I of course did nothing of the sort, I was polite, I talked about stuff I couldn't care less about, I even helped her carry her bags up to her room. So maybe I'm not quite as big a moral degenerate as my hardcore-right-wing-ultra-catholic roommate would have everyone think. Speaking of Serge great news for the followers of Mr. Storms. Tim Dorsey has finished the next book in the Serge Storms chronicles (The Big Bamboo) and has already started writing the still untitled book nine. The Big Bamboo is scheduled to be released in April 2006. As for the rest of us that are reading the paperbacks Torpdeo Juce is due out in April as well.ok I'm off to study for one of the five major tests I have next week peace out yo

Concerning Mountains and Sandwiches
So after three weeks in the Happy Valley I 've started to explore the world out side of classes and football and I think I've made a pretty great discovery. There's this little sandwich shop on a side street downtown that makes some of the most disturbing/ delicious creations you could ever imagine. They call them "fat sandwiches" and the best way to describe them is to say that if Pirmanti Bros. were exposed to radio active space waves that endowed them with super powers you would have these sandwiches. I had a sandwich called The Fat Bastard it contained.... Gyro Meat, Chicken Fingers,Mozzarella Sticks, French Fries Lettuce, Tomato, and Ranch Dressing. It was huge, it was bad for me, and it was so un-fricken-believably-delicious. The next time any of you make the trip up here bring your appetite with you cuse we're getten Fat sandwiches. In other only slightly less important news I hiked to the top of Nittany Mountain this morning and now my legs feal all mushy. There was a great view of the campus so I took a few pics, I'll have them up just as soon as my digital camera recharges. that's it for now peace out yo
Sometimes the Signs Can't Be Any More Obvious
I had some free time between classes today so drifted around downtown for a while then settled on a stone wall outside the Paterno Library, ( that's right they named the Library after him) while doing some reading for my history class I overheard two girls discussing Hurricane Katrina. From what I caught of the discussion the girls had just come from a Political Science class where their classmates were criticizing the government's ( especially good old GW"s) response to the situation. I'll spare you the play by play of what was a very stupid conversation but here's a quote that I think sums it up. " Yea , I don't know why every ones mad at the President. How was he supposed to know? It's not like he's a wetherman"
Yes those were the words of actual college students and though I was too busy cramming for a history quiz at the time I would like to clear a few points up for some of Penn State's finest now. - Chances are The Most Powerful Man in the World is in contact with some form of "weatherman". In fact I bet he has at least one working for him in a government that employs a staggering number of people .
- It's also a safe bet that the White House is equipped with at least one cable television. Even the retards at the cable news networks figured out there was a really big storm about to hit the gulf region. You wanna know were you should send the rescue parties? Just look for the guy in an over priced LL Bean wind-breaker trying to talk into a mic while being blown around a parking lot.
- Ok, maybe watching the news just isn't your thing . How about a good old mockumentary? How can you say this was a surprise when FX released a television movie about this scenario less than a year ago? Don't believe me? It was called Oil Storm, look it up.
there were hundreds of reports of the danger a major hurricane posed to the city of new orleans and the gulf region, heck I remember a teacher telling use about it in geography class after hurricane andrew hit. The next time the good people at the FX network decide to predict the future I say they do it through their new show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia instead of a horrible TV movie. Just think of it, the gang sets up a bar next to the Red Cross Shelter!
