Well, I'm out of town today and tomorrow, but fortunately for me, my trusty PDAs, Spueekers and Squonk, are here to keep me company, and Squeekers' WiFi card is coming in handy! Too bad MSN won't work on him...

Anyways, on to the good news, we [me, my bro, SSmash and a few others] were in a quiz bowl meet today and won!

First time for our school. It was double elimination, with three other schools competing against us. We ended up not losing a single match! Woo!

Also, this means we will be moving on to competing with the best schools in the state next month.

Stupid flu... I couldn't concentrate because of it, made me feel pretty useless today...

I wish you good luck trying to have fun during the vacation.

Hey, check your PMs X. Found a way around MSN not being there...

Have fun! And nice job on the quiz bowl.

Well, so far its not going too bad... horrible driving conditions aside.

It just wasn't a very reassuring sign seeing 6+ cars in various states of being stuck in ditches and whatnot...

This time I am prepared for a repeat of last year (long story short I was sick, it was pretty much blizzard conditions, I had barely any protection from the cold and I had two walk 2.5 miles in those conditions). I have more or less an artic grade jacket, a nice, warm, fuzzy hat, some heavy gloves, a multi-tool, and two candy bars.

I am not going unprepared this time.

I'm interested to know how the candy bars help you survive a few cold miles.

Just in case I get hungry.

But really, its not a bad idea to pack some non-parishable food in your survival kit, regardless of how useless it may seem.

In this case my survival kit is my coat itself, but I'm always at least partially equipped with survival stuff, because most people don't exactly arrange their accidents ahead of time.

I wish I had candybars right now, I haven't eaten candy for a few days now. It's painful.

I haven't had candy in... 4 weeks? I'm gona get me some now... if I'm not too lazy to go to the bag of Sour Skittles... which I prolly am. Rather do some more UC coding for my F1 Scorp...

Heh... yeah, they're nice to have available.

So where are you right now Xav? Sitting in an icy cave eating your candybars?

Nah, more like in a cozy hotel room, munching on chips, browsing the internet and sipping on a can of pop while my own little part of the apartment, typing this message.

Pretty much the same for me, except I'm in my own room.

Yeah, t at part I kinda miss, but I now have some handpicked video game remixes playing, nice, soft, slower paced group of songs, a perfect compliment to the peacefulness I am currently experiencing.

Nice... I'm making the Juggler level's gameplay even tighter than before with my new floors I've added to the existing area. About to test it too!

I hope the bots use everything right...

Cool.

Oh, wow...

There's heat coming from Squeekers' IR port!!!

AAAIIIIIEEEEE!!!!! QUICK! GET THE ICE! HE'S GONNA START A MELT DOWN!

Hmm... I guess this isn't really that isn't too big 'a surprise considering he's been running on his 6th consecutive hour.

Maybe if I turn the port off...

YOUR COAT IS SO COOl!

we were at school and it has velcro just for the sake of having velcro
and I found a pocket he didnt know about.

Yes, it is a very awesome caot.

Even is capable of holding drinking water. Think I'm going to buy a water skin for that purpose, along with a thermal blanket...

Ok, I am now heading off, and we are going to be driving in terrible weather...

If I don't show up here in 12 hours, you might want to start worrying...

No worries, if that happens we'll kick SS out of a chopper with the Velcro coat and a box of candy bars

A computer that generates heat, that is something I have never known before.

Well, I never noticed as much heat as was created from Squeekers before. Kind of surprised me.

A problem with that plan, Dark Watcher, is that have the coat, not him.

Also, it appears that I am back on one piece.

While a truly horrible vacation, I did get something out of it.

First, the Halo graphic novel, a Ghost Rider graphic novel, and my favorite...


A 400 GB HARD DRIVE!!!

If it is Western Digital, always make a second copy of your files on another hard drive.

Its Seagate, is that a good brand?

A very good brand yes. We are both Seagate owners now.

Cool.
