Spring broken

Spring break was fun even though I was sick for a few days. On Tuesday night, I went out on my dad's boat, which was fun. I miss the ocean sometimes, so it was good to be back. Toward the end of the week, I hung out with Nick, Mike, and TJ more. We ate at a lot of restaurants, and I discovered that Hooters has delicious chicken wings. I wish I had hung out with more people and eaten more wings, but spring break must come to an end.

And so it did. After over a week away from school, I was actually... ugh... missing it. I mean, it's good to be back to being (supposedly) productive. People are counting down the weeks until the semester ends. (I think it's five or six? Oh no, I'm a bad college student because I don't know!)

Also, everybody got a haircut during spring break. Seriously, lots of people. I was going to get one myself, but I ended up not feeling like it. What is it about going home that makes college students want to cut their hair? I don't know about anyone else, but when I go home to get a haircut, my parents pay for it. And they know how much to tip.

Speaking of other people, I've decided to bridge the gap between The World of Stuff and a little web site you may have heard of known as Facebook. Some of my friends read this blog religiously, and some stop by once in a while, but a lot of them aren't blog-reading types. Still others don't know I have a blog at all. I think my friends and acquaintances would like my blog. How do I show it to them?

As it happens, Facebook allows you to import RSS feed items as "notes," which are what it calls blog-post-type things. Facebook will check back on the feed every few hours and post any new items as your notes. You can't edit them, though. To maintain control over my posts and keep comments in one place, I disabled commenting on my notes and imported a custom RSS feed (created with the help of Feed Wrangler) that just shows the auto-generated summary for each post followed by a link to the full post. Welcome, new readers who I'm already friends with!

One year in the past, I discovered I could take 10 five-year-olds in a fight. Now I've found out how many ninety-year-olds I could take in a fight with this quiz called "How Many 90 Year Olds Could You Take in a Fight?" at howmany90yearoldscouldyoutakeinafight.com. Turns out I could take 14 ninety-year-olds in a fight. (Via The Presurfer)

I sometimes enjoy listening to Internet radio stations or radio stations on the Internet. So I was pretty pleased when my friend TJ told me about Split Infinity Radio, which apparently features DJs who work from their homes and pick a wide variety of tunes to spin. It's fun to tune in and see what they've got going.
