The one where he finally started doing a bit of work...

Hey everyone - It's true - I'm starting to do some work this semester. Not that you need or want to hear about it, but hey - if you find me slightly more occupied with "schoolwork," that is why. I have to finish up a public speech, where I am going to argue for the increased prescription of this drug called Buprenorphine, which I still can't say, much less spell, and then i have to... wait. Ok, so i guess that's the only real work i have to do in the next week, but hey, that's a lot for me. Bupe is really a pretty cool drug - it's a methadone-like opiate replacement drug that helps people get off drugs like heroin or oxycotin, and on to it, which is non-euphoria inducing, and it's really freaking hard to OD on it too. yeah ok, sorry - no more drug lessons. This coming from the kid that just got a 47 a drugs and behavior test. don't worry, i already knew i had a really high grade in the class, and that i could drop that test - ... that's why i didn't study for it. anyway

i'm posting from the cathedral lawn which is, apparantly not sacreligious. apparantly dave feels that if people go and lay out on the soldiers and sailors lawn, (even though there is a parking garage underneath, and nobody's burried there) that it's disrespectful to the fallen soldiers of our country. and i guess I can agree to an extent, if there wasn't an exhaust filled parking garage directly underneath that beautiful grassy knoll. anyway, i'm not there, just to place davey. (he also mentioned that the soldiers probably wouldn't have a problem with girls in bikini's laying out on their grass, by the way ;) ).

I'm really looking forward to tonight, because tonight is the night i get to go to shadyside for a bit of coffee. We have kind of built up a little tradition of going to coffee (by we, i mean tony, sarah, marilyn and myself, and whoever else marilyn or we want to bring as well) every monday and wednesday nights. it's been a blast so far, so we figured we'd try another venue tonight. hence, the shadyside coffee tree (i think that's the name) coffee place. they have a really great apple grogge (which is um, hot apple cider with a fancy name) but beware. be near a bathroom after you consume that wonderful fluid. just trust me on that one. (tony agrees). So - in an effort to work on my speech a bit more, i'm outahere.

by the way, in the coming weeks, look for a link to the new "Penduwords" list, that I will be posting on the internet somewhere, that will contain the complete and offical list of penduwords, along with definitions, and authors. should be fun. - (send me your words!)
