To the Grad Student

I'm writing this to the only other person who could possibly ever have any interest in reading this: the future grad student who is doing his dissertation on earlieith-century weblogs or something. Might I suggest writing about something else? You have chosen a truly obscure topic. Maybe you should write about why the hell anyone would save all of these unread blog posts anyway.

Oooh! I know! Write about how the modern (future) standard system of note-taking and time management came about. Or maybe you could write about why the hell stupid Windows XP thinks it's okay to try and shut down the computer right in the middle of me typing a post just because it finished downloading and installing some rinky-dink minor update. Guess what Windows? Me using the computer takes priority over you tidying up the place! You don't stop eating just because the busboy wants to clear the table.

Where was I? Oh yeah. I was right in the middle of getting tired of writing about this topic. Do you see what you've gotten yourself into, future grad student? This future disk you're reading is probably full of useless posts like this, and you have to wade through them all. I feel sorry for you. I'd like to help you out with some links to info about Windows XP's peculiarities, but I doubt they'll still be active on the future internet. Unless of course your future-disk has the entire internet of this era. Anyways, I'm not going to bother to look up any links for you. Have your future-computer auto search for it or something. You're the one that chose this stupid topic anyways.

Cola in a wax-paper cup with crushed Ice

How freaking awesome is Coka-Cola in a wax-paper cup with crushed ice? How come nobody serves it this way anymore? I'm talking about those thin - REALLY waxy paper cups that have the Coka-Cola lable and Dynamic Ribbon (TM) printed on them.

"But Blockstacker, what about when the cup starts to fold in half? The coke might spill!"

Just shut right up with that noise. The challenge is part of the experience. Also, pretty much the whole thing is edible. Yes. You CAN eat that cup. I'm not recommending eating the whole thing, now. I am, however recommending that you try to get down at least half of it. Think of it as a flavorless waxy cake cone. The Coke, in this analogy, is the ice-cream. Get to it.

I must also emphasize the crushed ice.

The cola could just as easily be pepsi, or even RC. I'm not picky. Nor am I in any way affiliated with Coke. Damn. I've been eating too much sugar lately.
