ok, today was a good day. my class went well, i even lectured them for about ten minutes about stuff, and my paleontology class got an extension on our term paper rough draft. this morning for my sed/strat lab we went to the minnesota geologic survey to look at some drilling cores. it was fun. there's only four of us in the lab, along with our TA. he's a cool guy, he was the one that told us about that old Fox tv show called Man Vs. Beast that i've been trying to download for a while. i guess they pit man vs. different kinds of animals in contests of various sorts, like a hot dog eating champion versus a bear in a hot dog eating contest (bear smokes man). or a foot race sprinter vs. a giraffe in a sprint (giraffe smokes man), and finally my favorite, 50 migets vs. an elephant in pulling a jet along a road. it sounds like a really cool show to me, but i guess every animal rights group in the country disagreed. if brian crosby ever reads this he should try to find that show on that network thing he was talking about that they have at the dorms.

stargate's on at 5, so it looks like i'll be having a pretty exciting night.
