birthday
We celebrated Patrick's birthday over the weekend. I'm sorry I didn't get any skydiving pictures, but my hands were a little shaky and I didn't particularly want to drop my phone from out of the sky. Click on Patrick's and Todd's photoblogs in my sidebar to get some pics. Anyhow, we did other stuff too. Here are some pictures.
How I love Islands of Adventure. And now I have an annual pass!
We kept making inappropriate guesses about the meanings of the warning signs in the park. I'll leave this one up to you.
We took an airboat ride, but didn't see any alligators. We did see horses and a bull. The bull was 70% submerged in the river while trying to keep cool under a tiny tree. Weird.

plummet
I jumped out of a plane and skyrocketed toward the Earth for three miles today. What did you do?

communications
My first assignment in my online graduate communications course is to make a short video introducing myself to everyone else in the course. I'm amazed at the variety on some of these videos. Between the guy reading everything off of a card to the girl sitting in the chair in the corner of her pink room with perfect camera lighting, I don't know where mine is going to fall into the mix. But some friends and I have come up with a few ideas of what it should be:
- Say something like "This is really new to me. I've never worn a shirt on my webcam before. Say, do any of you use ICUII?" (Thanks Jason)
- Do a normal video with the faint sound of porn playing in the background
- Deliver my introduction wearing lipstick while 30 cats run around behind me
- Include product placement, and lots of it. "I'm Josh, and I'm delivering this introduction on my Logitech cam using my Dell Computer and running RealProducer 11." Take a drink from Pepsi can, and pause to make sure label is facing camera
- Have a sign language interpreter (Thanks Dave)
- Say "Hi, my name is Josh and I'm from Illinois. You know what else is from Illinois? The Cavaliers! play drum corps clip "Well, it looks like my time is up. Bye!" (Thanks Chrys)
- Hang a Journey poster in the background. Relate everything back to Journey. End with a quote by Steve Perry.
- Drink two bottles of wine before making the video

gay trivia genius
So just to set the scene, Patrick and I are playing Trivial Pursuit 90s edition while enjoying a couple enormous bottles of Shiraz Cabernet blend. And let me tell you how gay/smart I am. Here's the question:

never too early for wing sauce
Todd's and my new invention: the Chicken Mary. It's basically a Bloody Mary with wing sauce. And it's so delicious that you barely notice your lips burning off of your face.
