I went to Chad’s lakehouse on Lake of the Ozarks for the weekend.  It was very tranquil, and I learned how to jet ski.  I don’t think you’d normally put “tranquil” and “jetski” in the same sentence, but I suppose that’s the kind of life I lead.

The drive to and from the lakehouse was nice.  I really am fond of the road.  But seeing so many fireworks go off (on Friday the 3rd and Sunday the 5th) was confusing – why do people have such a difficult time with the date on this weekend?

Quote of the Weekend:

Marius:  If you could pick any animal…what would you choose to be?
Josh:  Hmm…falcon.
Marius:  Okay, now given that you’re this animal, what one super power would you have?
Josh:  Oh, easy.  Punching.

I beat Super Mario World in around 20 minutes while we were out on the lake and without cable.  It’s certainly not up to the internet’s standards, but I’m proud of it.  Especially since it was my first time in years playing it on an actual SNES (as opposed to the Gameboy and Wii ports).  I wish I knew how the Trauschs kept theirs in such fine condition.

I guess I’ve got a big day at work tomorrow and shouldn’t be dawdling around on the internet for so long.
