i had a pretty good weekend.

my mom came over to the states from england. i'll be spending more time with her this week.

we went and saw "reign over me" which was a fantastic movie. ridiculously sad, however. it's a tearjerker, so don't go see it if you don't like that kind of movie.

i had some sushi yesterday. chirashi, more specifically. it was awesome.

today, i spent then day with some friends. we played this cardgame called munchkin, and a game of risk. niki whooped! everyone at risk. munchkin was fun. if you don't know what it is, check it out here. sike, that's not a link, i just underlined it. google it or something.

tonight niki and i went to hang out with some soccer kids. they played pokemon monopoly until the very bitter end, and we followed it up by watching futurama, robot chicken, aqua teen hunger force, and metalocalypse. we also played hearts.

that was pretty much it. i wish the weekends lasted longer. it was fun.

if you're looking for some useful information, then i'm afraid you have come to the wrong place.

what i've* compiled here is an ellaborate thesis on gaston from disney's "beauty and the beast." i hope you enjoy it.

----------

THE GASTON THESIS

“When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large. Now that I’ve grown I eat five dozen eggs so I’m roughly the size of a barge!”
-Gaston

Gaston is a lad from the time he eats whole foods until 20, when he is no longer a teen.
20 years – 3 years = 17 elapsed years

4 dozen * 12 eggs (1 dozen) = 48 eggs per day
48 * 364.25 (days per year) = 17484 per year
17484 * 17 years = 297228 eggs in 17 years

Let us assume Gaston is 30 years old. He now eats five dozen eggs every morning.

30 years – 20 years = 10 elapsed years

5 dozen * 12 eggs (1 dozen) = 60 eggs per day
60 * 364.25 (days per year) = 21855 per year
21855 * 10 years = 218550 eggs in 10 years

297228 eggs + 218550 eggs = 515778 eggs in 27 years

Gaston has eaten roughly 515778 eggs by the time he is thirty. Let us assume one dozen eggs cost about 2 dollars.

515778 / 12 = 42981.5 dozen eggs
42981.5 * 2 = 85963 dollars

Gaston has spent approximately $85963.00 on eggs alone in his lifespan.


The linear equation for the amount of eggs Gaston eats after he is 30 years old is:
y = 515778 + 21855x
x = years
y = number of eggs

To find when Gaston reaches one million eggs:
515778 + 21855x = 1000000
21855x = 1000000 – 515778
x = (1000000 – 515778) / 21855
x = 22.156 (approximately)
To make up for the first 30 years, 30 must be added to x.
x + 30 = 52.156

When Gaston reaches fifty three years old, he has consumed at least one million eggs.

----------

believe it.

i was looking through the list of "recommended blogs" and came to a silly conclusion.

i found that many of the blogs had their own user pick it to be recommended. yes! thank you for thinking that your blog was worth the read. personally, i think that my blogs are worth the read. but that's becuase i wrote them. of course i agree with my blogs, and recommend you to read them; again, i wrote them.

even if your blog may be worth reading, don't recommend it yourself. it just makes you look silly. creating the blog itself is recommending that everyone reads it.

you look even more silly when you have one recommendation and it is from yourself. i'm not gonna name names; you know who you are.

do me a favor, and don't recommend this blog. just read it, and accept it's truth.

p.s., do you think this would look cool on a hat?

i'm feeling pretty good right now.

this weekend was pretty good. on saturday it seemed like it was sunday, so that day and sunday went by very slow, which is always a plus.

however, i do wish that it would've lasted longer. it's always nice to spend as much time as possible with your friends, especially those whom you don't see but a few times a year. oh well.

i'm excited for enchiladas tomorrow. yum.

so my interview went well yesterday... i signed some paper that is gonna let them do a background check, and in a few days someone is supposed to get back to me... i guess we'll see.

oh man, even the SRA guy emailed me back. he said in a few weeks, the search to fill the position will re-ensue. he also said that he'll make sure that i resurface in the search. that's kinda cool. took him long enough to get back to me though.

i watched the new LOST last night. it was kind of disappointing, because nothing was really answered. also, i don't care that claire is jack's half sister. i just want to know what the hell is going on. strapping a note to a bird was stupid too. niki brought up the fact that it could just plop down in the water, and thus ruin the note. foolish island dwellers.

all in all, job stuff is going well, i think. tv is subpar as always, except for scrubs, which i am looking forward to tonight. woohoo!

i'm also looking forward to friday night. it's gonna be a blasty blast.
