Funny Mondays (title needs work)

It is our goal here at "The Continuing adventures of Jeff and Austen" to make your day brighter. And since Mondays typically suck, it is of extreme importance to us to get you through the first day back from the weekend. We want to try and make your Mondays better by sharing a funny anecdote or perhaps a comical video with you. We do not promise to be 100% punctual or consistent, but we will sure try. So hopefully this little story from my weekend will make your chuckle.

This past weekend I (Jeff) was at Pracs Institute to test some drug that is in the experimental stage having to do with blockage in the blood vessels or something. Basically I got paid a lot of money to eat, sleep, watch movies, do my homework and get my blood drawn a bunch of times. They do tell us about some side effects we may encounter including: heart failure, inability to sleep, sleepiness, tooth ache, the list goes on, big deal. But what they don't tell us about is the dumb asses we have to put up with. We are divided up into to sleeping rooms that are very large and have like 15 bunk beds, and the guys that were next to me had brought a TV, PS2, some games a movie- which is fine, whatever. They were so annoying. The one guy had this voice that drove me up the wall and he complained nonstop and kept swearing at his video game the whole time because he sucked at it. I was like, "Buddy, if you suck so bad, just quit, are you retarded?" I didn't really say that of course, but if I had......... And apparently they rented the Prestige or the Illusionist or both, which I've heard are good, haven't seen them myself, some sort of magician movies or something. So the same genius that's telling his game to f- off asks one of his friends, "Was the magic in the Illusionist real?" I about jumped off my bad and slapped him in face. REAL MAGIC? It's a movie! Wow. I sometimes can't believe how dumb people are. And that was today's funny story. Thanks for reading.

computer woes

let me start off by saying that i (Austen) have a 10 page paper i should be doing instead of this. but i feel guilty for starting a blog, and not blogging regularily. thats weird. funny story as to why i am writing this paper now:
when Jeff came to visit, i neglected my studies, big deal. i knew i had some papers to do, but i THOUGHT they were all due at the end of the month, like 27th-ish. which is true for 2 out of 3. unfortunately i misread the 1o page research paper due date, it was due on tuesday the 22nd. so i had to ask for an extension and write it in 2 days. not too bad since i had the research mostly done, just needed to throw it together. worked tuesday for a bit, and then left the rest till wednesday night. i really got going, and was in the zone. you know when you are writing, and its just going good? i was there. decided to take a little break, have some food. saved the paper. saw that there were some updates to do, so i clicked "ok". when they were done, it said i needed to restart, no big deal, this is common. unfortunately for me, that would be the last time that night my computer worked. after i hit "restart" it did not restart. in fact it would go to the first "loading page" where the circle spins, and that is all. i spent two hours in vain trying to figure out why it would not go. you can imagine my anxiety level at this point. the phrase, "is this actually happening to me?" floated through my head a lot that night. finally i called it a night. the next morning (this morning), i took it into the campus computer store, and 8 hours later, fixed! they said that i shouldn't have left programs running while updating. whatever. point of the story - don't buy a mac! JUST KIDDING, do buy a mac, but don't be a dumbass like me. the whole reason i bought a mac is because i thought they were crash proof. little did i know i could make it crash, good on ya austen.

Debut

So I (Jeff) have been in Canada now over a week. I'm leaving in about eight hours (because it's late) and Austen and I decided we better get this blog up and running so that we can join the cool kids club.

Hopefullly we will keep this blog updated fairly regularly despite the vast (land) distance between us. Please bear with us as we are rookies in the blog world and are still "learning the ropes" of blogging etiquette.

If you are not one of our links and are interested in applying for the position, leave a comment and we'll consider your request. Likewise, if you are one of our links and would like to removed, suck it.
