Next year should be great...Yes, I found out today...just before David and I spent about 60 dollars of my meal card...that I got a room in Louisville Hall for next year. I know what you're thinking..ooo, it's named after the city, big deal. Well, yes, it is a big deal. It is the most desireable and probably nicest upper classmen dorm at UofL. I mean, just check out this list of features:

Elevators; Air Conditioned Rooms; Semi-Private Baths; Laundry Facilities on Each Floor; Cooking Areas on Each Floor; Study Area on Each Floor; Multi Purpose Room; Basic Cable TV provided in each room; 24 Hour Desk Coverage; Key Card Access; Local Phone Service Provided in Each Suite; Ice Machine; Ethernet connections in each room; E-mail terminal in lobby

Computer Service Center with - Computers- Laser Printer - Scanner- Copier - Fax

Yes, I know you'll all want to come visit me, so I'll be starting a sign-up sheet sometime this summer which will allow you all to sign up for weekend visitation times. I guess you're also probably wondering why getting in is such a hard thing anyway. Well basically UofL doesn't have enough dorms for all the students who want to come on campus, so you have to go put your name in the "lottery" then they draw you name and give you a number, then based on your number you get assigned a room, so I got the best, when i could actually have not gotten anything at all. Like they could have actually said to me today, "We're sorry Mr. Fyhr, but you're on the waiting list" what is that anyway, do they expect me to live in a Motel 6 or something? They're trying to encourage students to live on campus but they don't have any place to put them...maybe they should have thought this through a little more...

Sorry for the delay people. I've been a bit busy, but i have returned with a little bit of news and an update to the semi popular work journal. I might keep on writing those if I get enough positive feedback (yes that means you). Heck I'll keep writing them even if I don't get any feedback (likley). Life is good. The NOTD.NET shirts are nearly complete. I need a little graphic on the front to cap them off. I will work some stuff up in photoshop and see what i can do. This weekend I could be attending an AbdoMen concert, i'm waiting on the final word from kenny. It should be a fun event. In a related story, Microsoft has officaly killed "Clippy the helpful paperclip" You know, that little paperclip in Microsoft Office. It is stated that there will be no "Clippy" in Office XP. Its about time somebody killed that metal bastard.

Well here it is, another Monday...the first of three more on which I have class. I can't believe my first year of college is only two weeks and two days from coming to an end, It's gone so fast. I went home for easter to be with the fam and all that good stuff. I think I spend more time with friends though, it's ok though. On Friday night I watched Kings of Comedy with Cael, Matt, and Smiley...it was rather funny. Smiley and I also made the very first NOTD.net T-shirt that night, we bought all this fancy stuff to make them with...like super high quality shirts and Iron-on things...like it's really hard to tell it's not screen printed..i'm wearing mine right now, and i can't tell. In fact 9 out of 10 people agree..even though only two people currently have shirts. Anyway, there is like this four page instruction booklet that tells you how to properly iron on the sheet. Well the most important thing it seems is that you have to apply fifty pounds of pressure to the iron the whole time, they even instruct you to get a bathroom scale out and press down on it with one arm to get a feel for the ammount of pressure required...well Smiley was set to iron the first one...one minute on the preimeter, one minute on the center, and one more minute on the perimeter, all set...ready go...time's up, and it's not stuck...we couldn't figure out why...I told him to go over it again and press a little harder..."Oh yeah" he says, I forgot about that. After all the reading and testing on the scale, he forgot he was supposed to press, and basically just ironed a piece of paper on a shirt...no sticking action at all. Well it finally worked...but since he had been tring to separate the paper before it was really stuck it had tears on the edges...but it wasn't a good shirt, we wanted to do a test first so he just used the undershirt he was wearing, so Jerome dont' worry , that's not the prototype..there was a second prototype. A good one. Well we finally got all of that good, and now the Tshirts are in production, if you're interested email one of us for sizes and prices. They're very nice

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Listen, open your eyes. I've got some wonderful news, some humbling news, some amazing news. I'm sure you're all aware of my dedication and respect for whosthemaniam.com and their entire staff. Well Recently, we're talking within the past few hours recently--as far as I can tell--I was recently upgraded. You see, they have several categories of links in place. The lowest, and most risky if you will is entitled "Random, Changing Sites of Varying Interest" NOTD.net prouldy owned a spot in this category for several months. I visited WTMIA.com just minutes ago, and was taken aback when NOTD failed to appear as it had so many times before. I let my eyes slowly drift upward to the next step in the WTMIA linkage system, the category of "Infinite Interest" and there, at the top of the list, I saw it...in all it's glory NEWS OF THE DAY. I was near to fainting I swear to you. Infinite...that's...well, for eternity...forever...never ending...unless of course Jerome feels compelled to remove it at some time in the future...I hope not. But it solidifies NOTD as a front runner in some small circle of the WEB. We have arrivied.

I saw on CTN today that yahoo is now selling porn on thier website. I went to check it out, ya know, just to see how advertised it was, like if there was a giant picture of it or something on the front page...there wasn't, but I did find this:

Auctions - buy/sell anything - Tiger Woods, PlayStation 2, coins, digital cameras, Pokemon, autos...

Apparently you can also buy and sell Tiger Woods, I would have thought it was somehow illegal to sell professional golfers on a website, I guess not.

In related news NOTD will be selling Greg Norman and Lee Trevino in the near future, check back often to place your bids.

Ahhh, the joy of the work place. I decided to keep a log, if you will, of what I did today. To keep this front page clean, I've asked kenny to place it in its own section: Here. I'm sure you'll find it intresting. As for actual News (This being a "news" site and all) The postal service is looking into getting rid of Saturday Mail delivery. I don't know about you but but I quite enjoy the saturday mail. It seems logical to me that it will be just that much more mail to deliver on mondy. Oh well, our government has never been known to make sense. David Copperfield will be preforming on April 29th and 30th at the TPac (Tennessee Performing Arts Center) in Nashville. I'm going doggoneit. Heres a head line in our local paper: "Are smoke free nursing homes really home?" Just what does that mean? Does there really need to be a cloud of smoke to get that good ol' at home feeling? You know thats the way I like it. MORE NEWS COMING SOON..

So I was channel surfing a few moments ago and I came across CNN, or one of those all news channels...perhaps ANC...but i don't think so. Well, I was watching the "ticker" at the bottom of the screen and I read the following:

Bus driver draws mustache on passenger, may be charged with assault.

I've been looking around on the net, but so far I can neither confirm nor disprover this story. But really, do people have nothing better to do? Sue the bus driver for playing a joke, wash the damn thing off and get on with your life. No need to tie up the countries invaluable judicial system with this...wait, I bet this could get on Judge Judy. That's what they need to do...give this the airtime it rightfully deserves.

Sorry I haven't gotten to post anything recently, like kenny said I was at UofL, and I was to lazy to post anything this weekend, so here it is Monday and I'm writing, at work... It appears that the mulch out side of the bank has caught fire. Good thing we saw that early. Also I'd like to say that the guy selling those copied dreamcast games was pretty cool. He didn't have NBA2k1 but thats OK. I did manage to buy 180 Super Nintendo games from him for $5. I love America. And I suppose this site will show up on Google now for People searching for EMULATOR and DREAMCAST and SUPER NINTENDO. OH well, I hope you enjoy the stay. Come back and see us. As for now, if any of you emulator freaks need some helpe with getting those blasted dreamcast games to boot goto: www.dcemulation.com or email me, i'll help as best I can. I need an FTP.. Anyone out there have any artistic ability? Want to design a bumper sticker? HINT HINT we need one for this website. I'd also like to add that i received ONE, yes ONE, email from the previous post. That devoted reader will be one of the first to receive a NOTD.NET bumper sticker, and maybe some other goodies. Today I am going to scetch out some designs for NOTD.NET shirts, cards, and stickers. Any ideas will be appricated. I'll keep everyone posted with the progress. As for now, return to the real world and remember the lessons you've learned here.

I went to my second abdomen show last night, and it was awesome...so much better than the first one. There were four people in the audience with video cameras, plus the band themselves had a tape recorder set up in the back of the room. I stayed for the entire show this time, and I'm glad I did. They played from about 9:PM to 1:00 in the AM...some of the stuff I had heard before, but a lot of it I hadn't, so yeah, that was good. Moving on...when I left the show I rememberd that I needed some deodorant...and seeing as how it's been about 90 degrees here the past few days...I'm sure (no pun intended) that if I didn't get any, I wouldnt' be the only one to realize that I needed it. So I felt like driving also, so I headed over towards the St. Matthews area where I knew there was a 24hr. Wallgreens. On the way, I passed these two guys sitting on their tailgate on the side of the road, I passed them, and then looked in my mirror, and looked ahead of me...not seeing any other cars, I decided to turn around. I went back and it turned out they just needed a jump...they had a bad alternator...something I know all too much about... so I jumped them and (hmm...gave them a jump) and was on my way.

Yeah..weekend...wonderful. As you may or may not know, SMiLEY was up here in Lville for the past couple of days, so I was hangin out with him and failed to update the old NOTD...so this will be an update to remember..or not. We went to a big computer show at the Kentucky International Convention Center yesterday, he bought two dreamcast games...and it was so funny, they're copies of dreamcast games...just the fact that it was so illegal and being sold like it was nothing. They guy selling them was impressed that SMiLEY had 300+ NES games emulated for dreamcast and sold him the games at half price. I bought some RAM for my parents which I must deliver to them next weekend. There's also a big car and home audio show up here...that we wanted to go to, but since he was technically here on a school function, I couldn't drive him across town...their hotel was only three blocks from the Kentucky International Convention Center. Heh..I just like saying that...it sounds so important, but really isn't. And for all those of you who chose not to take advante of the links over there <-- and do not vist whosthemaniam.com they recently had a contest for the most evil invention of all time. I'm happy to report that I was the winner with my suggestion of the catheter. So sometime soon I should be getting a whosthemaniam prize package. I'm so excited...so it better be good.

Slowly but surely the week is passing. I did take my programming test today...right on time, when it was supposed to be, and I did quite well...I think. Thanks to brad for the very pleasing graphic seen in the top right corner of the post. Helps make the days go faster... yeah, well I watched Chasing Amy for the first time the other day, I enjoyed it...not as much as Dogma or Clerks... but it was still quite good. Well, I've got to put some finishing touches on my english paper that's due tomorrow, so until next time...

It's finally here. Yes that's right, the movie is now availabe for your enjoyment. All you have to do is click here...what are you waiting for?...Do it. Yes we know it's crappy...but that's the price you pay for speed, you can come here if you want and I'll show you the high quality version if you really want. It's almost worth it.

Tuesday...gosh, it feels like it should be about thursday or something...like I woke up and thought I had missed my programming test...which isn't really until tomorrow, so yeah, I'm a bit confused on my dates...it's that damn daylight savings time thing. I wish we could "fall back" twice a year, as opposed to falling back, and springing forward in one year. I hate losing that precious hour of sleep, it messes with me until i get it back again in the fall. SMiLEY and brad will be up here thursday-saturday something with school, but we'll probably do something...go out to eat or whatever...and yes, I'll probably be at their hotel after classes and what not. So that should be good. Yeah, they get to see the movie that you've all heard so much about...but have yet to see due to the lack of space on the web...someone want to put it on their site for me?>... it's 17.5 meg...heh...please...or tell me where I can put it?>> yes. you do. so what are you waiting for, tell me. Man, I had the most awesome box of strawberry frosted pop tarts last week, I'm telling you, they were heaven in foil, but I bought a new box this weekend, and they're not so hot...good, but not wonderful, I guess they're kinda like sprite...I'll let SMiLEY explain...

Man, I love the internet. What other place would I be able to acquire 237 NES games? All for free, might I add. Ahhh, and the hackers and programmers out there, man I love you guys too. I mean, who would have thought? I can now play my favorite games of years past all right on my dreamcast. Amazing. For those feeling nostalgic i suggest taking a visit to www.vimm.net, you won't be sorry. Movies, movies, whats going on with movies.... let me see. Kenny and I saw Traffic this weekend, yes, it was my second time, but well worth it. Benicio del Toro, can we give this man sommore awards please? Speaking of giving, who wants to buy me a game boy advance? Come on, you know you want to... ANYWAY - For my own personal pleasures would everyone that reads this send me a quick little email, "Hi, I read the post." thats all you gotta put, i know you see the mail thing up there. ATTENTION PEOPLE OF THE NASHVILLE (ESP. THE OPRY MILLS AREA) YOU WILL BE BOMBARDED WITH BANNERS AND FLYERS ABOUT NOTD.NET VERY SOON... BE PREPAIRED. Ok, now that thats done with... wait, they won't see that untill after we toss the flyers out, DOH. People please, do NOT take a cell phone in a theatire with you. And those of the Arbys Food Industry, lets hurry it up a bit, shall we? I mean, ya made us late for our movie, come on. I could go on for hours making verious rants and things. but i WON'T. Stay tuned, my posts just might start making sence soon.

OK so I was talking with brad about what he did this weekend, and he told me this highly unbelieveable story, carl sits down at my computer and types the following reply:

that's nothing... once i went to king's island in cincy and the vortex got stuck at the top of that first big hill (120 feet), i was in line just watching the poor bastards cook (it was like 120 degrees) ... they set up there helpless for 45 minutes, which wouldn't have been so bad except for the fucking cougar that was up there mauling everybody... some were jumping (the lucky ones) and one of the really fat maintainence guys running the ride had a stroke trying to get it going again! listen man... nothing surprises me.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, it is April first.

Yes well, I know what you're all thinking, where are the ducks, I know I need to hurry up and get them, but things like that take time. IN other news, the movie (still untitled) is almost almost done...should technically be done now, but i'm too lazy...david and carl would probably kick my ass if they knew it could be done...they've been pressuring me for just about the whole week now to get it done. Alas, it will be up early next week...I promise...maybe. I need to find a place to put it, I got to thinking about putting it up here, but since I have my free host and all, I have limited bandwidth...100meg per month...hardly enough to support a movie beeing played and downloaded as many times as this is sure to be...seeing as how I used nearly 90 of my 100 this month with no big fancy movies. So I went to Twice Told tonight to see the abdomen play. That's the band that Carl and Daniel are in...along with Phil and Alan. I was quite impressed and had a great time. I rode over with David and came back with himt too, we did leave before the show was over, but I'll go again for sure, they play again next Saturday, so you all make a pilgrimage to Louisville and come to Twice Told on Bardstown road, across from the Doo Wop Shop. Saturday, April 7th, about 8:PM, don't miss it.

I'm getting to be a regular here. ha. Its back to the theatire for kenny and I, off to see Traffic this saturday in the opry mills mystic multiplex. Is it me or does everyone hate that after taste Lucky Charms will leave in your mouth? Whats with that anyway? I recently found my copy of the new Semisonic album "All about Chemistry". Its pretty good, I like it anyway. Hey, anybody from ATI read this page? Ya punks, I can't watch my TV on my Windows 2000 machine. Why don't we fix that, huh? Yeah, thanks. Mean while back at the ranch.... I don't have any adventures to write of in this post, maybe next time. So I guess that about wraps it up, yeah.

The final review of The Working Title EP is now up in the reviews section, or click here to go directly to it. In appreciation for the review working title, head on over and give it the d/l. I got a message from the mind behind working title brad clark:
