anything, anythign but finals, right? ha, i don’t even really have finals in a sense. i have it for ochem, but my bio and my physics are just tests that are worth more. and the bio’s out of the way so its on to the hard stuff. i mean, this happens every quarter, but everytime finals rolls around, you don’t really care anymore. the end is in sight, and you can just taste the freedom that you’re gonna have in less than a week. i mean, by this point, you either know this crap or you don’t.man, i could go on and on rationalizing how i can take it pseudoeasy this week. but in reality, i’m gonna study for like three hours tonight, 10 hours tomrrow, 3 hours the next day, then 10 hours on friday. considering i don’t sacrifice a whole lot of time to mah skoolin’ (much less time than i would dedicate to a full time job) so this makes up for it. it’s not like i’m gonna fail these tests or something anyways.

so yeah, there’s my boring life, now to switch gears and blabber

two nights ago, i almost set the house on fire. it was awesome. i was burning trash carboard in the fireplace all the while unaware that there was a candle on top of the stove part of the fireplace (basiaclly just a thick metal sheet. so after about 10 minutes of throwing cradboard in there, i start to hear this fizzling and popping noise, and behold, there is a half melted candle sittign on top of the fireplace, and a shitload of wax all over the top, and dripping all down the right side of the fireplace. i pull the candle off, but nothing really seems to be damaged so i just keep throwing cardboard in there. after about another five minutes of this, that wax is really popping, but i’ve only got one more box to go, so i’m determined to finish off the burning. and tehn….PHOOMPH….that wax reached its specific heat or something, cause all the wax on top went up all at once, creating a moderate flame, like 3 to 4 feet high.

of course my natural reaction is to point and laugh at the flame, because its funny, but mike runs by me and grabs the stockings off the mantle which are right below the flame, and i realize we probably shouldn’t let other things catch on fire. it wasn’t anything to be too worried about i thought, i mean, not worth risking a nice fleece blanket to smother a fire that’s goign to coat it in wax. so mike and i are looking for alternate way to put the fire out, cause its still making the white brick mantle black. we can’t find a fire exstinguisher, or baking soda, so we think:

“hmmmm, this isn’t one of those situations where water makes things worse is it?”

“nah….”

so we tried a little and it made the flame huge, like twice as high, so things were starting to get out of hand now, so i grabbed teh doggie bed off the floor (i still didn’t want to use a nice blanket and ruin it) and smothered it. so after it was out, i threw more cardboard into it, and it got goign again, but it was much much smaller, so i just let it burn off all the wax cause i didn’t want to clean it off later. man, the house was smoky for about 3 hours after taht, it was pretty dense. fire is pretty awesome, nut i’ll have to make sure that i don’t leave candles on top anymore. and for future reference, water does not put out wax fires.

we also put up a bunch of christmas lights this year (well, like 30 bucks worth or so, which goes a long way at bellingham grocery outlet) and even with our crappy half ass job, we were still by far the most decorated out of all the houses around ours. if you drive around for a bit there are some people who obviously go all out every year, but in our 3 to 4 block radius, people put up like two or three strands. so we have this up for like a week, and then we see one of our neighbors across the street putting up more lights, and adam talked to them for a bit, and they told him that no one around there ever really gets into christams and we were the first to put up lights on this house we’re living in so it inspired them to put up more.

this inspires us to get competative.

i think after finals are done, we’ll probably blow another 30 bucks on lights or something, it would be great if they put on more lights after that and it just escalated into this huge war where we have a santa and a team of reindeer and various other gadgets everywhere in an attempt to outdo our neighbors. then when its all over, we can pack it up and cry ourselves to sleep when we realize how pathetic our lives are.

so biznatches, you think you’re hep to the now?

well try this on for size:

BLOW ME!

ok, that was rude and uncalled for, but most of the things i say on this site are anyways, so i reiterate….BLOW ME!
