Ay carámba, mis amigos! Hoy está Cinco de Mayo!
On an unrelated note, this is a long weekend. I am enjoying the time off but certainly anticipating a return to normalcy, whatever that is. Wesley Willis now has a new song below the time. [Not really.] I am yet again feeling rather closelipped so I will leave you with this. Yes, it is the 16th inning. Of a 6 inning Little League game. And no, I did not change pitchers. No applause necessary.

I have seen five movies in the past 36 hours. They are, in order: Rushmore, Office Space, Toy Story 2, X-Men and finally The Big Lebowski. It is overly late right now to update the review page but someday soon these and more may all be added for my pleasure and enjoyment.
This weekend has been about what I had hoped it would be, and will be especially nice if my homework tomorrow does not take overly long. Tomorrow should prove to be an interesting day. Maybe I will update and maybe not. You will have to check anyway. I don't have too much more to say right now. Maybe one of these days will a be a full state-of-Ermine Central update but who knows. It's bedtime or thereabouts. Oh, and don't check out the newest Wesley Willis selection below. [Because it's not there.]

Here is a short emergency update:
9 May 2002
I saw Otesánek tonight, so go read the review.
My parents are coming this weekend, not so ironically for Parents' Weekend. So hopefully I will get to go golfing on Friday and maybe something else interesting on Saturday.
The look of the site has been changing little by little recently. That's because it has an identity crisis. Don't make fun of it, or it might require extensive therapy. Download the nonexistent Wesley Willis song down there and leave. Or stay. I don't care. The others will be removed soon because I have limited storage space. [They've all been removed.]

The site looks quite new today. At least the main pages do. I don't know if it will stay like this or whether it will continue to change. Most likely there will be minor revisions forever.
It is now the weekend even though I have to work three times before I go back to class. Things are looking good, for the most part. 18 more days of class. No Wesley Willis. Woohoo.

Try this design on for size.
This weekend has been pretty good so far. Friday I didn't have Writing and I went golfing at Willinger's Golf Course about 9 miles west of Northfield. It was a good course, and a little tricky the first time around, but very fun to play. We also went to the Byzantine Deli for dinner. Saturday was bowling and Target. I also saw both SUMO features, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Wedding Singer, which should soon be up on the review page.
I am finally finished with Marriott for the weekend. Working there anyway. I will probably eat dinner there today. I need to revise my paper for Writing and do some German. Hopefully that won't take too long.
13 May 2002
The archives have been compressed into monthly digests. They still aren't that huge, and it's much easier to maintain. I also decided to get started on the music reviews so Silver & Gold by Neil Young and No Code by Pearl Jam are both in there now. Sooner or later, sooner hopefully, the whole site will be upgraded to blue and silver.
I have seventeen days of class left. I will be very glad to be done.
New Yablonski for every man, woman and child.

Das Wetter ist schließlich nett und schön! Ich las Biedermann und die Brandstifter heute für meine Deutschkurs. Ich habe ein Diary-X jetzt. Es ist nicht wirklich, aber es hat viele Farben. Auf wiedersehen!
16 May 2002
Well, this has been a relatively good day, for me anyway. I have completed the room draw process and I will live across the hall next year in room 309. It is much like my room first term except it has a balcony. That will be cool.
In other news, I completed my homework nice and early and have read many periodicals. Tomorrow looks none too taxing, so hopefully the weekend will also go well.
I tried an N64 emulation today but it didn't work very well. Maybe it will get fixed sometime and maybe my computer likes to SUCK. I think the second option is more likely. I think I can handle that though, as long as the year ends well and summer goes as planned, i.e. not too busy. Film Society last night consisted of:

The weather is very nice. Hopefully it will stay that way for a while. Both my nosepieces on my glasses fell off but I have sort of reattached them so that is nice.
The review page has been updated with Burn This and Abre Los Ojos. [ah-bray lohse oh-hose].
Not too much homework do I have this weekend and tonight is the picnic, which should make for an interesting work experience. I am ready to register for next year's classes and be done. 13 days left. The image below is from alexgrey.com.

Fate is indeed a cruel mistress. However, as far as my weekend went, except for a brief period Saturday night, things have been going smashingly well. Citizen Kane should be reviewed in the near future. I am up late, as I was doing German homework [only 4 more TA sessions], but my procrastination was easily worth the extra time.
Next term I should be taking Intro to CS at 8:30, English Lit I [with Max] at 11:10 and German 204 at 1:50. That will be followed by Calculus III, Data Structures [with Max and Keith] and, if I am lucky, Film History and Criticism. I will probably be declaring a major in either Math, Computer Science or Economics next year. It all depends how classes go and how I feel then. Maladroit was released one week ago.
Two updates in one day. I have joined elite company.
German was better than normal today, Econ was as good as usual. A lot of homework was completed, songs were sung, Scoville was visited. Econ was studied and much fun was had. Go Econ!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow includes an open period due to lack of Badminton and a viewing of The Man Who Wasn't There.
Maybe if you are lucky Badly Drawn Boy's Hour Of Bewilderbeast will soon be reviewed on review. [Incidentally, this album will be listened to in Goodhue 309 approximately seventy times during Fall 2002.] You are dismissed.
23 May 2002
I had a nice talk last night [early Wednesday]. Part of it made me sad but I ended up happy and am still that way. Today was nice for the most part. I watched The Man Who Wasn't There at Film Society.
25 May 2002
Nine more shifts at the dining hall. That's only 18.5 more hours. I think I will be happier to finish that than anything else, except German.
There is a new links page. It has fewer or different links. There is also a monster.
27 May 2002
I had plenty of homework today but nothing I couldn't handle. And we went to the snackbar tonight. I ate two ice cream sandwiches, Cheetos and I drank a Zenergy Fantasia. That was good. My hall is insane. People sprayed shaving cream everywhere and the custodians will have to clean it up tomorrow morning. I'm sure that will start their week off well. Maybe next year Max and Margie will restore law and order. [Well, they will try.]
I reorganized my own links page today twice so now all the columns curve slightly inward. I will update the universal links page sometime later. I also stole a Velvet Underground lyrics page today. I chose not to give a shout out to Ron, nor do I give him any thanks. I hope he is not sad.
I will now attempt to watch the part of The 39 Steps that I didn't see on Saturday. I was not quite able to finish it in the previous time frame. That should be all for now. Oh, and my random image. It's a gamma ray image of ice on Mars.
28 May 2002
Cliff Yablonski has updated again. It rained today. The Onion has also updated. Clyde has updated.
30 May 2002
I have found the world's smallest website and a cool Flash soccer-type game. Pixelsurgeon is repository of high quality links.
Clyde updated and the weather is hot.
