I took a few notes while watching Armed and Famous tonight. What insight about Muncie can be gained from reality TV? Here's what I learned:

They came in the back way through the arse-end of town

Wee-Man is serious. Seriously.

Latoya has the Jackson family nose.

Eric Estrada looks good for his age.

Jack Osbourne has not seen the Mythbusters episode that shows how cars are not bulletproof.

Wee-Man can disarm a man. Seriously.

Jack Osbourne can take a taser standing up. Like father like son.

"Ponch Just farted." Seroiusly.

I used to live right by that laundromat.

Nothing less than a killshot will take down a south-side junkie, and should it come to that, my money is on Jack Osbourne.

Muncie will show up and cheer for anything. (ie: BSU football)

Wee-Man found the most amicable crackhead on Earth. Seriously.

Even the crack dealers are sweet old ladies in Middletown, USA.

Crab-hands just wants to go home.

Wee-Man is rollin' the Muncie streets protecting the Muncie women. Seriously.

The start of my "me" semester has been, essentially, two additional days of finals week. I worked for about twelve hours total yesterday finishing my animation for the Terri Dreams, currently rendering behind this window. I also went to the IDMAA meeting to get feedback on a grant proposal I wrote last month for their double-secret project. The forthcoming revision should look great, and if the project gets off the ground I'll post a link.

I crashed on Gerry's couch last night and ate breakfast in the new cafe in the library. It's pretty nice- food, coffee, and huge sunlit windows. The rest of the day has been constant running around and working. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to visit most of the people I'd like to (the old office, Scott, and others), but I'm anxious to get home because my brother goes back to school next week.

The long, arduous process of sorting through my stuff, packing boxes, and driving back and forth between cities is finally complete. I'm no longer a Muncie resident, so it's back to Fort Wayne to finish my projects and my degree. No more Heorot, Fickle Peach, Moe's, Motini's, Scotty's, Pita Pit, or Greek's. I suppose I'm alright without these establishments, but what really hurt was closing my pull file at Alter Ego Comics. I think the shop in Fort Wayne has the same service, but it won't be the same.

On the plus side, I'm able to use the Allen County Public Library again.
