Day 11: 9/8/2011

Ahhhh, the feeling of sleeping in is a great one. That's exactly what I did today. I slept in until about 9am. My 8am class was cancelled so the next thing was choir at noon. It felt really good. Also since I was able to leave later, I decided to ride my motorcycle. Not only is that a more fun way to get there but the gas is a heck of a lot cheaper too. 

So I went to the couple classes I had, signed a petition to get the Libertarians on the ballet, picked up some paper work to turn my job into credit for an internship and confirmed that hopefully my financial aid will be in by Monday! Woohoo!

Then I got home, ate supper, watched an episode of 30 Rock(A Valentine's Day show where Jenna loses her stalker and Liz schedules a root canal so she doesn't have to be awake that day.) and then played a couple games of League of Legends.

I am kind of disappointed that we ended up just skipping the podcast tonight. One of the guys couldn't make it and we didn't really have much material anyway so we just decided to not do it. I really think we need to have a talk about what the future of the podcast is. I really love doing it but it's going nowhere fast right now. We need to figure out what to do with it otherwise I have a feeling it is just going to keep going downhill.

But I'm looking forward to tomorrow. It's Friday, my last day of work at the court house, I get to see Katie and we are definitely going to be doing something fun whether it be the drive-in or the Bike Night Finale, who knows! The sooner I go to bed the sooner it will be here though, so goodnight!

Day 4: 9/1/2011

And September is upon us. What a crazy month. What are we going to do with it? Honestly, I'm not really sure, but it will probably be fun.

So today was kind of crazy. Started off with driving to Madison and then receiving a crazy email. I don't really want to talk about it to much until things are finalized but it's pretty crazy, I'll tell you that. But then I had some fun with the rest of my classes and made my way home.

Tonight was a Thursday night so Shaun, Corey and I recorded the podcast. You can find tonight's episode here. Sadly, while making my drink for the show I ended up dropping and shattering one of my glasses. I think that means I'm down to four of those glasses now, I should probably look into plastics.

But, it's time for bed now, I've got a big day ahead of me tomorrow. Fun stuff and then after work I'm leaving for Minnesota with the family.

Winning The Lottery Would Suck

Congratulations to Neal Wanless for winning his 232.1 million dollars. He is one of the luckiest people in the world right now. I am definitely jealous. You can check out a local story from the Daily Republic here.

There are a couple things I am not jealous of though. When you actually look at it, Neal will only be taking away 88.5 million dollars from the 232.1 million that he 'won'. While 88.5 million is still an unimaginably enormous amount of money, it is only 38.1% of the original amount of money that he 'won'. What is that crap? You just won a lot of money! But we are even going to give you half of it! .....What?

That's fine, whatever, he is still a very lucky guy, now with a lot of money. I was reading this other article from the Daily Republic about how big lottery winners are isolated and their life will never be the same. It says that the winner has to become a different person, figure out how they are going to use and protect their money and find a way to stay in contact with their friends and other relationships they have. This doesn't sound like as much fun to me as just spending all that money however you want.

All in all, I think winning the lottery probably isn't as easy as it should be or seems. But I think, if given the chance, I would take that much money. If anyone has a lot of money that they just want to get rid of, it's to much of a burden for them, I will take it from you. Neal, if you don't want that burden on your shoulders, I would lift it from you and carry it myself. Let me know if ever need to get rid of it.

Also, make sure you check out the podcast if you haven't, we had a great interview with Superintendent Joe Graves about the local elections here in Mitchell. You can find that at HeyTalkTo.Me. Also look around either Thursday or Friday for another episode. Should be a good time.

Back From Tour

3/15/09

If you haven't checked out my new website yet, do it. DevonSchreiner.com.

I am finally back from tour with the Chamber Singers, what a blast that was. Now I get to work. So the Chamber Singers, after tour, get the weekend off before starting classes again. I got to work all weekend.... yay. But that is OK I guess, I am not opposed to making more money.

Also if you care, I just put up a new website for the local music shop here in Mitchell, Paulson's Music Center. If you want to check the website out, you can do that at PaulsonsMusic.com. It is still not very far along but you can get the general idea of what it is going to look like. All feedback is appreciated on things like that too.

I was thinking about bringing back Our Perspective, the radio podcast Kevin and I started a while ago and then let drop. But then I figured I can't even keep stuff like this up-to-date very well, how would I keep a podcast up-to-date? So maybe we will look into that issue again this summer or something. But chances are I will be just as busy this summer, but who knows.
