Kirk, You have been invited to a wild evening carefully as crock
- What?
- “Kirk?”

Apparently only my boy friends have blogs.
Yo ho. I emerge from the shark-thick waters, knife in my teeth and a steely glint in my eye, having taken all three of my double-damned midterms in ONE DAY and lived to tell the scurvy tale. Yo ho.
And now, in lieu of booty, I go to Lexington. What reward holds Lexington, you ask? It holds Jon. It holds Monica. It will hold me and Ken and Maria, and most importantly, it will hold ANGIE APARO!
I’ve decided that my pocket notebook counts as NFD Canon, so entries that are properly dated in there (eg during class) are now going into the blog at that date and time, just like regular entries. Some would say this is cheating. I would reply: you’re right! Get your own!
Also I just did a couple of those, from yesterday. You might notice.
The Magic Nerds are actually playing their game before class today; they’ve set up chairs on both sides of the professor’s desk-table and are acting like it’s a thrilling spectator sport. They are openly displaying their twenty-sided dice.
You’re in college, people. For pete’s sake. Be properly ashamed.
Did you know that a knot is 15% faster than a mile per hour? That means that if you have one of those handy tip-calculator pocket cards, you can instantly convert a speed in knots to the more familiar mph. Just pretend your speed is your bill, calculate the tip and add it to your total.
(Obviously, you can do this in your head too, but that’s not as glamorous.)
Today’s episode has been brought to you by science!
I took another bubble bath with my pants on
All the fighting stopped
Next time I’ll do it sooner
This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker
Maria is introducing me to Prince. Anybody who sings about bubble baths and pants in the same line is okay by me.
Oh no! We have to live the same year all over again!
Today I am terse.
Could’ve saved a line if he’d written it in C++.
Update 1636 hrs: Or five lines, in PHP.
Update 10.5.03 1745 hrs: And Leonard points out that unless he puts a newline character in at the end there, it won’t look right at all.
Yeah, this didn’t actually turn out all that terse.
Also! Webcomics are maybe the one source of content with the biggest conflict between proposed and actual posting schedule, which makes them PERFECT for RSS feeds… except nobody has one. Okay, Penny Arcade does, but they never miss a day anyway. Even Keenspot and Keenspace, the people who get probably half of all webcomic traffic in the world (and write the software that implements probably 80% of all webcomics), don’t have any kind of update feed.
So they should, basically, is what I’m saying. It’s called Really Simple Syndication, you know, it can’t be that hard to add in.
(Yes, I realize that my comic probably needs it more than anyone’s. I do plan to add one, once I have the time to rewrite my entire site apparatus. But again: I’m lazy.)
