Dave and I will be leaving around 12:30 and driving straight to the cabin. On the way we will stop by a food store to buy... socks. Anyway, we need to know what sort of food we should get with our socks. I presume that the BYOM rule is still in effect. I'm sure Wallmart will have a fine selection of B grade steak to choose from. However, we do need to decide who is bringing Pepsi (caffeine free of course... yes were old... and several you are attempting to be doctors so you should know better... unfortunately its too late for Tyler who has consumed twice the life time amount of the cancerous substance in his youth) Anyway, getting back to the point... DETAILS! Let’s figure this out... who is arriving when... and what are you bringing/ what should they bring.
If you read this too late... call someone- one of us will know what the plan is.

5) Click on "Register"
6) "Wii"
7) Then enter Wii number to register as a friend, for example " 4145 2030 0791 9362" will add me as a Wii friend...

Firefly... Book's secrets
"... Ron and Joss did us the great honor of revealing some of Book’s secrets."
1. Part of Book is artificial - “and it’s not the hair!”
2. He found God in a soup bowl
3. He is best known for his greatest failure
4. He took his name from someone he killed.

This sounds MUCH more promising. With the exception of one or two songs... i have to say PJ hasn't impressed me much since Yield... but perhaps this is a sign that are about to emerge from the half hearted void of doom. Time will tell.

Cabin Cont.
So Bonnie and I are actually planning on the last weekend of May. If that needs to change then we should get it out right now. Especially if there is some form of weekend that Shaun could make it, but that is sounding like it ain't gonna happen.

Shameless Plug
Thought I'd post some screenshots from ye WoW adventures. Right clicking and going to "View image" will show them in glorious full screen resolution, I had to make them small for the blog preview. Hope you guys enjoy sorry for taking up so much screen real estate.
Downing one of the harder bosses in Karazhan.
Un'Goro crater. Jurassic park time.
Wee gnome vs. Temple of Elune in Darnassus.
Sandstorm in Tanaris.
Hanging out with some friends in a standard Foaming Mug type tavern.
Brand new island called Magister's Terrace. Need to be 70 with some serious epic gear.
Chaaun with all of his shiny purple gear. =D
Beth, me and Cousin Y at the end of a long dungeon run.
Starting a 25 man instance with our current Alliance guild.
Inside Tempest Keep.
Beth, me, and a good gaming buddy inside Serpentshrine Cavern.

Cabin Night (cont.)
Ah crap. Sorry, I am retarded. I have to fly to a conference in Texas near the end of June to present a research paper I have been working on with the senior design team. So most likely I can't make June.
Cabin night
First off, congratulations all around for graduation, moving etc. etc. It looks like the Clan as a whole is doing well. I got a kick from reading all of the blog postingses.
Secondly, I am not dead, contrary to popular belief I still in fact do exist. For those that have called me and I haven't made it back, I'm terribly sorry things are uber busy around here this quarter. My office down in the laboratory bowels of OSU has horrible reception, honestly my phone sometimes delivers phantom messages and voicemails weeks after they actually occur.
Please keep trying to summon me from the void!!!
A little news from over on the west side: I'm going to try and propose to Beth this week if I can actually get away from work for a day or two, which is pretty exciting. I'm stoked and nervous at the same time to say the least. I imagine she'll say yes though since she has been waiting for oh, a few months or so - we're still pretty crazy for each other (surprised she hasn't killed me yet).
As soon as we manage to set a date, I'll keep you guys posted, although we really want to keep it super small because we are but shy nerds. Also trying to get honeymoon plans in order, I have enough saved up so we can take off for Fiji for a week or so (tentatively at the end of August, first of Septemberish). =D
I have about a year and a half left to finish my Ph. D. This summer I have to study my butt off for the qualification exam in the coming fall. If they let me past that stage I will have a soul again and be able to work on my own thesis research. Right now it looks like I will be doing something on optimizing renewable energy extraction and interfacing/power quality controls with the utility grid. This could change depending on how draconic Linear Systems 550 turns out to be, but I am excited there too. Hopefully next quarter I get to work with optical communications and beam some signals over lasers in typical mad scientist fashion. Ah, the life of the perpetual student.
Cabin night in June would definitely be fun, however Beth and I have class until mid-June and I can't take a lot of time from work due to the honeymoon week but maybe we can work something out. We need a good round of potatoes, Pepsi and D&D for old times sake.
Lastly, if you guys are interested in doing some fantasy type gaming, Beth and I are still playing Warcrack after hours and getting the Clan together for some ownage would be fun. We are trying out some new characters on the Horde, and although there are a lot of cranky and foulmouthed power mongerer players on that faction (thank goodness for the profanity filter), we have managed to get a pretty decent little guild going. I know, kids and jobs and all, but if you guys are ever bored it would be fun to play for a bit. We need a healthy pool of tanks, rogues, shadow priests and shamans....
Anywho, this has been a long and rambling post. Hope all is well with you and yours. Peace. :D
