NYC and HVEI

Two acronyms sum up my last two weeks quite well. A little over a week ago, I was in NYC--two blocks from Times Square. It was my first trip to NYC, and I had an incredible time! We walked all over Manhattan, and it was worth it.

Just about an hour ago, I submitted an extended summary of a paper that doesn't exist to HVEI 2007. If it is accepted, I'll be heading to California at the end of January 2007 for a few days!

That's it for now. Look at the right-hand column, a list of my radio stations from pandora.com are listed. It's worthwhile checking out that website. No worries, it's free!

$50 or More for the Beautification of God's House

Below, I have embedded a music video by DHS that I saw years ago on MTV's late night techno video show Amp. That show is long gone, but the videos are still around. The video embedded below is particularly amusing. Enjoy.

Punishment for Early Rising TV Viewers

With the common adage "the early bird gets the worm," one tends to believe that the "worm" is a special treat. Not true in the case of early morning television programs. It seems that if you rise too early, you're unlikely to find "worm" worthy television programs.

This morning (Saturday) I caught the end of a few paid programs airing at 8:30am. Of course, 8:30am hardly constitutes early morning, but I noticed that most cable stations refrain from decent broadcasting before 9am. This is a pretty clear indication that cable stations recognize that people sleep later on the weekends, so they resort to paid programs to fill these times.

My favorite early morning paid program concerns colon cleasing. What a wonderful topic to discuss first thing in the morning. I love to sip my coffee and listen to all the things trapped in my colon. In addition, I feel at ease learning about parasites growing in my gastrointestinal tract. The solution is simple: buy this powder that mixes with liquid for consumption. Drink this concoction and wait. Soon this mix will push parasites and tape worms right out of your colon, because we all know that our friends judge us based on the cleanliness of our colons! You would have to make a weekend out of this, because you really never know when suddenly you'll have "fire in the hole!" That's just not something you want to happen during the week, especially at work.

This refreshing feeling will be something that I'll just have to imagine. I am an impoverished college student who is unwilling to spend money to get stuff out of my body I paid for in the first place.

Meet Sexual Chocolate!

You may have never seen this car before, unless you knew me in high school or during my first two years of college. A brown Ford Taurus stationwagon was driven by my brother's bestfriend. He aptly named the car "Sexual Chocolate," after the band that performs in the movie Coming to America. However, it was not until the time that the car in the photograph became my main mode of transportation that the name "Sexual Chocolate" was applied to a more suitable car, the bronze 1979 Buick Regal.

While this car made all of my friends laugh, girls did not find the car very appealing. The smoothest ride in the world wasn't enough to attract women. In addition, I failed to have the ride pimped out properly. So, you might expect to find a senior citizen at the helm, not me. When I moved into Avent Ferry my sophomore year, my parents quickly observed that I drove the only pre-1980s American sedan in the dorm.

The following year, I upgraded to a 1996 Honda Accord. Sexual Chocolate was sold to Percy, who was very excited about finding this car. It sold for about $1000, which is pretty impressive. To this day, Julia wishes that I still had this car, for she never had the priviledge to ride in this fabulous car! Someday, I'll find an equivalent car to fill this void in her life.

Could Monkeys Type the Bible?

Apparently, a brown haired Fox News reporter claimed that a monkey placed before a typewritter would actually type the entire Bible given adequate time. This statement followed a story about a dog that is reported to have dialed 911 when the owner was injured. See a video of this as aired on the Colbert Report by clicking here.

Greetings fellow readers! Welcome to the first installment of several parchments from the dainty village of Ithaca. Behold the magical waters that breathe life into the extraordinary landscape!

As for myself, those who do not know me should call me Daviticus the Daring with his Diamond Diadem. In time you may refer to me as Dave. Be wonderful to all my committed readers! Look forward to more commentary from this amazing village as time passes.

Until then, eat your greens, ride the TCAT bus, take out the trash, eat leftover foods, drink milk with your eyes closed, and read about the Raelians and our glorious Prophet!
