Life in a Nutshell
Mike, 20 April 2004
Okay, I know some of our fans have been complaining that we don’t update our lives enough, so here I am.
My life is boring and there is no need for me to update this any more that I already do. That said, I went home for Easter a couple weekends ago and ate large amounts of really good food. As well as fixed my car so that it doesn’t make a horrible grinding sound every time I start it. I also found out that another friend from high school is getting married, I won’t mention his name as to protect the innocent.
This past weekend was picnic day at UC Davis. Litertally every club, department, and non-profit organization had set up a booth somewhere on campus just to yell at you. It was pretty fun anyways. The physics department set up it’s usual array of classic physics experiments, floating magnets, optical illusions, and speakers powered by your own body’s electrical output.
The most well known event at picnic day in recent years has been the Doxie Derby. This takes place in Rec Hall and involves 4 dachshunds at a time trying to make their way across the basketball court to the finish line. Most of the time when the boxes are opened and the dachshunds are allowed to chase the fake rabbit they get scared and run directly towards the crowd. It’s quite hilarious if you ask me.
Other picnic day attractions included sheep dog competitions, frisbee dog competitions, and a few crazy local bands that were trying to be cool.
I was fortunate enough to get tickets to see Kill Bill: Volume 2 this past saturday and I have to say that Tarantino’s fourth film is absolutely amazing. I don’t know how he does it. I mean, it’s only his fourth film, and everything he does is amazing. He must’ve sold his soul to satan or something because what he does goes against The Maker. If you haven’t seen either movie yet I’m afraid that I’ll have to kill you, then you have to go see them.
