school. school. school. now trying to decide between all black sprit case or clear

Clear just because I had too many black cases before and there was much regret. Never had a clear case. They seem pretty appealing.

If your interested vote for ColorHug, the other options suck if you have multiple systems with multiple monitors.

Well, I spilt coke on the HP rubber dome thing I had set up just behind it and kind of laughed, then as I picked it up to dry it off, some of it came out onto my WASD. Complete with some of the *stuff* that was inside it

I'm fairly certain that the plane I was on just landed in a field. I looked out the window before landing and there was not sign of civilization. And then I drove to the place in actually going and spent 20 minutes finding the hotel. The address takes you to the totally wrong place and there are like 30 hotels here and this one was behind another. :|

Oh well! It's not the end of the world. But anyway I spent today traveling.

lost soccer (football) game 0-2 against team ranked 5th in state. could have won. one of their strikers also ran right over our goalie with the ball in his hand, had plenty of time to adjust, should've gotten a red or at least a yellow. nothing

Well I spent about 10 minutes with tissues cleaning the coke from inbetween the keys. I don't think any actually got into the board itself. Besides, it's got a plate in there so that would have prevented a lot of damage had it been a major spill.

Seems to still be working alright *crosses fingers*

went to the "american clinic" to take mandatory tuberculosis test (for a UK visa). cost $100 per person.
the procedure? sign papers here, wait for an assistant to take you there. then sign these papers. then wait for an assistant to take you somewhere. then talk to doctor. sign another bunch of papers. then wait for an assistant to take you to the x-ray. then sign some papers about x-ray. then the test itself. then wait for an assistant to take you to the random place where you will meet the doctor again. wait for the doctor. sign some papers. wait for an assistant to take you to the exit.
all in one hour twenty.
russian standard tuberculosis test costs $6 and takes ten minutes. but isn't approved by the UK government.

went to the city of Pushkin to visit Catherine's palace.

each and every one in our tour group had a pocket radio with a headphone to listen to the tour guide (makes excursions much more silent).
to not spoil the super royal floors, the palace had free disposable socks:

the ballroom was almost empty:

everything here is formidable:

some interiors:

probably a chair for a cat lel:

the empress Catherine I. was a glamorous *****. never wore one dress two times. after her death, left 15000 dresses and a lot of unpaid bills:

had a walk in a park afterwards:

chinese guy says don't walk in the park after dark (but we did):

ten minutes to relax in the railway station's waiting room and then head back home:

Look, you don't have to know who he is. You don't have to care that I saw him last night. That's fine. If someone does care that I saw someone and is curious who he is, they will look him up. Problem solved.
