HOLY CRUDMUFFINS BATMAN, MY BIRTHDAY IS A WEEK FROM TODAY!!

Guess I should start making some plans. But first I need to grab your attention, so here’s Hulk Holgan being a true American
Fantastic, moving on.
So far I kinda have the faint idea of having a friends party on Saturday the 16th and a family party on the 23rd or the 21st if it’s more convenient.
The family party has to be on a later date because my parents are going to be gone on my birthday weekend, so maybe a nice gathering at someone’s house (Casey’s house seems to be casual party central, so that’d be a good choice) but if people can’t get together for the celebration of my continued existence, then lumping it with

It’s who you know

Lots of interesting things happened on my first day of college. Here’s one. I sat down in my theater class and realized it wasn’t an acting class but a class about running a theater. No thanks. I talked to the professor and he explained that this was the class they would want a psychology major like me take for a fine arts credit and that an acting class doesn’t earn a fine art credit. Unless you’re a theater major. I wanted to change it anyway and went to the theater department and talked to a very nice person but… she also thought I should just take the other class and get the credit. I was getting up and heading for the door when she asked me my name. When I said Whipple she freaked out and said “I’m Paula, I’m Deirdre’s best friend, I knew you when you were this big. I’ve been wanting to come to the Thursday Night Music Club!”. She’s a theater department teacher. She said she really wanted me in her acting class and she’d see what she could do. I got a text from Tyler later and Paula got the head of the Psych department to accept an acting class as a fine art credit in my case. I’m learning that in college, there’s an undeniable power in who you know.

1. Recreating the Universe’s Beginnings
Why are scientists so excited about smashing subatomic particles together at near-light velocities? Physicist and ex rock-star Brian Cox explains why the Large Hadron Collider in Europe – part of the largest physics experiment in history – is far more than an extra in Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons. Okay so I’m a fellow physicist, but I still found Brian’s talk stunning.

John Willingham’s surprise homecoming
December 28th, 2008 @ 14:28Posted by: Taylor
Good old “sunshine”. He was in Hawaii on a nuclear submarine and told Liz (his mom) he couldn’t come home for Christmas. He and his Dad had to tell her he couldn’t come so she was sad at first and then very happy, that’s the reason for the @&*#head remark. They wanted me to video tape it and for us to put it on youtube so they could share the surprise with their family from all over.

I had mentioned to many people in the family that I was going on a road trip. I’m gone. On the road for four days to Springfield, Missouri and back. See you later!
Mix Turtle

Would anyone here at Whippleworld like a free website that searches across the web for music, then plays it without downloading? My friend stumbled on this and I love it, there isn’t a song yet I searched for that Mix Turtle doesn’t have. It even has Slaid Cleaves, now that’s cool. You can even make a playlist with a few simple clicks. Try it out, I promise you’ll figure it out if you play around with it for a bit. Just click the turtle, type in a song name, and let the music play.
