Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!

[Siranae]

How are you all forgetting to mention the best archeologist of them all?

[Silver]

Now now, Archeaologist and Historian are different. Robin's not interesting in digging around in dirt or lost caves. She wants to read books. Books that happen to be found in dirt or lost caves. And are also stone artifacts.

But you know Josiah, Gar's right. You can't abbreviate that - it's his name, for Chrissake (well, kinda). You want me to call you Js. from now on?

[Josiah]

Hi! It's a title as much as a name, and both Wikipedia and Netflix accept a search for either one, but ok.

[Giga-Gar]

Well, the thing is that for other people, it's a title. For him, however, it's a name. Kinda like Silver! For most people, it's an element, but for him its a name! in both cases, it's not necessarily their real name, but that's what they go by.

[Silver]

Wikipedia and Netflix accept searches because there are many idiots in the world who think abbreviating names is acceptable and the internet has bent itself to accommodate them. But we don't like you to be like them, Josiah. Within the continuity of the show, it's implied that he invented the word "Doctor" and our word is borrowed from him - and he certainly didn't invent it abbreviated. So don't be like the lazy people who can't type out a whole word or are too dumb to spell it. You can't manipulate people's names like that.

And like Gar said! If you guys started referring to me as "Ag" I wouldn't have any idea what you were talking about. I'd think you were making uncomfortable grunting sounds. Like "Ag! My back is in pain!" Or "Ag! I have to take a big test!" Except it would be like "Ag! Update IPA!" or "Ag! Stop being such a lazy bum!" and I would give you all warnings and tell you not to make your grunting sounds at me.

Also, River's the best archaeologist ever. She creates artifacts and she discovers them.

Hi! Only a couple more days till vacation! Not that I really should have to come in to work today or tomorrow. Or the last few days for that matter... Other than that, nothing too exciting going on.

[Siranae]

Finally I'm back home! But I still have one day of class, so I have to go back Monday. To be honest I really could just email the thing to her, but for some reason she wants us all there. Eh, oh well.

It's nice to be back, and now I can actually do things that I've been planning to do forever. Got a sticky-note app thing on my browser full of stuff. Hopefully this means I'll be around here more.

But first I think I'm going to sleep for 24 hours.

In case you can't tell, I'm finally done with sophomore year! Woohoo!

[Josiah]

Hi! Had graduation ceremony earlier today. Though none of my students were involved so I wasn't all that intersted. But I'm not officially on summer break! That said, I'll probably remain fairly busy for the next few days since I've got a lot to do before I leave on vacation. First stop, Colorado. After that...Japan probably, though it's still a little uncertain.

Other than that... Not much, really. Not in the greatest mood at the moment. I didn't get much done today because of so much time being taken up by graduation, my cell phone case broke, and Car Washer got a bad review. That last one would both me less if the game actually got more reviews or if the guy had given it a fair chance but it's clear that he only played the first few levels at most. And, if you ask me, it's not fair to complain about the game not being especially exciting when you only play the first little bit. It's a casual game, it starts slow as a tutorial and then gets much more intense later on. That's how they work.

[Silver]

Happy Star Wars day, guys. May the Fourth be with you, all that.

Alternatively, Tom Baker Day. May the "Fourth" be with you, all that.

Hi.

Well, saw the Avenger movie and got to say, it was very very well done :)

[Josiah]

Hi! I'm off to Colorado in the morning. Really early in the morning... I just hope my cab gets here on time. The guy on the phone didn't seem entirely on top of things.

[Silver]

Guess what, guys! I got hired at a movie theater! That means no more Burger King all summer! It also means free movies all summer! This is the best thing ever!

[Neo Zanther]

Hi.


And nice Silver. I may see if I can get that lucky myself. I've missed too many movies and doing something like that would let me see them. Though I'd imagine that if you worked in the projector room it'd get boring seeing the same movie over and over :)

[Josiah]

Hi! I should be on my way to Colorado right now... Except that Murphy's Law has decided to hit me pretty hard. To start the day off, I wake up at 3:15 AM (having gotten very little sleep) to get a taxi to the airport. I go outside about 5 minutes before the taxi is supposed to arrive and wait... 10 minutes later it's still not there so I call the company. Seems that either the dispatch operator or the driver had copied my phone number down wrong. So the driver called the number, didn't get an answer, and gave up without actually driving by my place. The guy on the phone tried to get in touch with he driver and have him come back, but the driver wasn't answering his phone. Eventually the dispatch guy himself came (45 minutes after my cab had been supposed to arrive) and drove me to the airport. As a side mode, my apartment is an annoyingly expensive $50+ cab ride from the airport. So I make it the airport later than I planned but still with about an hour before my flight. I go to check in...and they tell me that I never paid for my ticket so they won't give me a boarding pass. Of course, I paid for the ticket ages ago when I booked. The airline guys say there's nothing they can do and that I have to call Priceline, which I'd used to make the reservation. So I call them and go back and forth between them and the airline. While this is happening, they stop checking in passengers and, as a result, I miss my flight. I ask Priceline to give me a new one and they say that I need to call back in an hour when their booking office opens. One hour later, I call them again and spend a good half hour on hold as the Priceline guy talks to the airlines to try and figure out what went wrong. They eventually get me on a new flight but the whole thing took so long that I missed all the early ones and have to wait until 12:30. So that means I'm stuck at the tiny little Gainesville airport until then. On the slightly bright side, they have free wi-fi. On the downside, they don't have much of anything else. Would a Starbucks be too much to ask? Since I didn't drive here, and the airport is on the outskirts of town, I can't really go anywhere. I've got things to keep my busy, but I'm hungry, tired, and pretty frustrated. Seeing as this whole thing is due to human error, I feel like I should be getting a refund or discount of some sort, though I'm not really sure who was at fault, Priceline or the airline. So, unless the flight I was supposed to be on ends up crashing or something, my vacation is off to a really bad start.

On a totally different topic, congrats on the job Silver! Enjoy the movies!
