where's my ten gallon hat?

Houston is big. I've never traveled so short a distance in such a large amount of time. Cars are everywhere. It would be a great place for me to test my NASCAR skills.

The airplane trip was rough. First of all, Old Guy never showed. I was totally surprised and disappointed. He did make up for it today when he told me about a barbershop quartet that did a humorous number about Mississippi to the tune of Oklahoma. I'm way off track. The landing in Houston was the worst ever in the history of aviation. The pilot was lucky he didn't show his face as I exited the plane. On the return trip I was the next to last at boarding the plane. This was because I was chatting it up with a cute future Bulldawg who happened to be from Russia and spoke with a seductive accent. As a result of my flirtatious ways I sat between two lifeless human beings. One listened to Fantasia on his ipod, I stole a peek. The other read the entire trip. I, myself sat carelessly and cool browsing the SkyMall for high dollar alarm clocks.

During working hours I have been playing a lot of Curve Ball on addictinggames.com. The game is simple but hard. If that makes any sense. Simply hit a ball and make the computer miss it. It gets better though. Each time the ball is hit a sounds is made that compares to that of a four square ball. I love it, Tootsie probably doesn't. As the levels increase in number so do the four square ball noises. Very quickly it sounds as if I am playing four square with 20 other kids here in my cubicle.

Today I am joining the rest of the aerospace population in watching NASA TV. There's a space walk taking place right now. I hope Tootsie doesn't mind the occasional conversation between Houston and the cosmonaut.

In conclusion I want to give a shout out to the coolest family I know in Houston. Yes, those crazy Burdens from Spring, Texas. I don't think I made up my bed, sorry.

My new crush is Anna Faris, look her up. This has to be one of the longest blogs ever. The Burd said today is Mundane Monday. Which planet spins the fastest?

Last entry's answer was Marco Polo.

This blog sucks. I don't think NASA is talking to a cosmonaut, because cosmonaut is a Russian astronaut. Do better next time

Well if anne onymous would do their research they would find that there is a Russian on the ISS and did participate in the space walk.

I like the blog Matt, haha I've been in training for like two and a half months now, and my trainer went on vacation so I pretty much show up, surf the web, eat lunch with my group, and write on my blog. I'm gonna add a link to your blog off of mine.

Hope work keeps treating you well. And what do ya know, I majored in engineering too.
