I had the 10,000th post on the longest thread in CD history (I think).


Eh, it's gotta be worth something. My summer hasn't been exactly amazing thus far... Not bad, just not that fascinating.

you arrogant punk! you either discover a star or you dont!

i went on a scavenge mission with my dad, my moms friend, his daughter and her boyfriend and dog and we got a bunch of landscape and paving stones and i got about 18 free rolls of nails. (a company was going out of business... so they geve all this out for free)

i also got some free 1.5" sch 40 pipe... i plan to make a nice potato cannon! and one day i could make one thats large enough to launch tee shirts...

I had a baby boy.

Well, my wife did most of the work, but I still take half credit.

I got a job at Circuit City yesterday!

I also consumed lots of Dr. Pepper.

(I haven't posted on CD in forever, but this thread seems like an appropriate time to come back)

I pulled off a flawless synchronized swimming routine. I suppose that has to count for quite a bit.

And...I started packing for my upcoming vacation. Vacuum-packing everything saves A LOT of space.

Oh yeah, I cleaned my room, too. That's a MAJOR accomplishment

Amazing Facebook Graffiti art. I don't know if you'll be able to see this but prepare to be amazed.

One of my photos was published in the Boston Globe today. I was called yesterday to photograph the band Extreme last night in Boston. It was a 9:15 assignment with a 10:00 deadline!
The online version of the review, plus my pic is here.

I think my other accomplishment would have to be accepting the fact my laptop is fried and needs the motherboard and video card replaced. That was a tough one to swallow!

It took me a while. Probably three hours.

I don't have anything to do at work, so I have to give myself something to do.

It's a good thing all Flash applications have a zoom feature, or that Graffiti would not have been possible.

That's all with a mouse, too.

My new accomplishment: Raising $570 for Child's Play through a 48 hour Rock Band Marathon. See this thread.

i just got a free skateboard deck from beer city skateboards. i entered there monthly drawing and i got a nice board for free. (a black b6 board)

[ComradeNikolai]

I got through 4 days without my bicycle and just got it back from the shop.

Oh, I also made it through the first 4 days of band camp and haven't chipped a reed yet.

Even though its my job, about an hour and a half ago my partner on the ambulance and myself had 50 year old man in cardiac arrest in a shopping store and by the time we got him to the ER he had pulses and was breathing on his own after the interventions we did. By the time we cleaned everything up and restocked the ambulance the ER doctors were talking to the man telling him that he had a tube in his throat and they were going to take it out very soon.... So this has been one of my better shifts so far this summer. CPR saves are very very rare in situations outside of surgery and ER rooms. I still have more then 12 hours left in the shift and in this line of business things find a way to balance out and that might not be that good.
