Last Sunday (the 19th of July) I purchased Verdigris.net for my band.

Then I got hosting, and drafted a temp-page. That would be what you would see currently when you click that link. When the site is done I'll add it to my list on the right. I have started a template for the site, and the boys are cool with it (though, in all honesty I think just the fact that it's a webpage, and about them, and online, accessable from anywhere... that is what makes it cool), so I'll be mapping the site and adapting the template to all the pages and getting some content out of all of them.

Yeah, that's fun.

It has been (again) well over a month since my last post. I'll not bother giving a full update.

There was just something that made me have to post. Microwave Popcorn.

Yes, the root of all evil: microwave popcorn. I can't stand the smell of microwave popcorn. It is similar to conventional convection popped corn, but not quite. I can tell the difference, tho I cannot explain it. The smell of convection (or movie popcorn) does not bother me.

When I was living in the fraternity, I was one of very few brothers who had a microwave in my room. As a result, people would often come in and use it to microwave popcorn. Over time, they wouldn't even ask anymore, but just come in whenever they needed it, since I tended to leave my door open when I was around.

Now, the smell of microwave popcorn sticks around for a while and permeates everything. So, I was left with the smell long after anyone would microwave popcorn. It got to the point where I would ask people who were going to use my microwave what they were planning on microwaving, and if it was popcorn, I would tell them no. (They ignored me most of the time since they knew I really wouldn't stop them.)

That is why I can't stand the smell. And fortunately for me, someone here at work was so kind as to nuke a bag.
