So, the issue with the cat turned out to be a semi false alarm. It took around an hour for someone to show up to check it out. During that hour, I periodically attempted to get the cats attention, it would acknowledge my efforts by barley opening it's one eye and couldn't come close exerting any energy. Much to my surprise, when the police officer showed up it hobbled off the couch and started to walk around. The officer definitely agreed that it needed to be taken in by an animal shelter, but our efforts of trying to lure the cat into captivity with a bowl of milk were unsuccessful. I will continue to keep an eye out for the cat, with the hopes that I can get it in a basket or something and get it to the right people.

I DVR'd "John From Cincinnati", I am really excited to watch it soon. "Letters from Iwo Jima" just got released in HD on Xbox Live, they had the standard def version out for a few weeks but I felt it was worth waiting for this previously announced version to finally be downloadable. I heard it was even better than "Flags of Our Fathers", yet I don't see how, as it is unlikely to have any people who were later sung about by Johny Cash. I saw the new Harry Potter movie last night, it was very good. Definitely the best one yet. Very, very good. I don't read the books so I never know what is going to happen next! It is so exciting for me. People always say I am missing out on a ton but I don't really care, maybe I will get it on audio book someday, maybe not. I bet I enjoy the movie better than anyone who has read the book, maybe there is something to be said about that!

After a good run, USA got eliminated from the U20 Men's World Cup. I am pretty disappointed that I didn't plan my summer better, they were held in some parts of Canada which are definitely close enough for me to Travel to. Specifically Montreal. In College, I took the 1 credit course, "Model UN". I did enjoy in the mock diplomatic sessions but the main reason I took the class was for the big conference held by McGill University in Montreal. I took Model UN for three years. The two years I went to Montreal were very awesome, absolutely crazy crazy times. The one year I didn't go was not as fun, at least in terms of that class. I went out the night before the trip pretty hard, I thought staying up late would would just lead to a quick bus trip via a long nap, yet I did not consider the scenario of me sleeping through my alarm clock. Just reminiscing about waking up 10 minutes after the bus was supposed to leave, still being a tad tipsy, grabbing my already packed bag, and running across the snowy campus, just to see the freshly made bus tracks, gives me the weebee geebies. I talked up that trip so much that everyone I knew, knew about the trip. Having to goto my classes those days and explaining to students and faculty alike about why I was there was not very cool at all. I hate being rushed, or even worse, too late.

On that solemn note, we should wrap things up. I have modified the live index page of this site a little bit ,this is now Splash 8.2 . The most significant addition is the ability to add a user name under "user information"[for users who are logged in]...a feature that was present for a while, but then disappeared. I can't even remember when or why I took it out.

...and a screen shot from the final minutes of the game, which I enjoyed at a cool new sports bar right around the corner:

...and from the inside, out, good night.
