Karl had a good weekend. Saturday Night Karl went to the Plex Formal accompanying some friends. He had a good time. Ridge Warren slept 7 that night.

Sunday was more of the same, Karl cooking chilied pork chops for dinner with spanish rice. He got a phone call from Veronica, the wrestler, and spoke for a while. He then went and studied at the library.

Yesterday Karl made it to Stats a half hour late and sat through another Intro to WWW where they didn't talk about Google. That night he went with Eric and Ted and Kristen to a Soul Coughing Concert at the Double Door. It was good but loud. There was a little breakdancing as the monday night regulars came out after the concert, but Karl didn't want to flex his skills.

After that Karl registered, currently taking a tuesday class and a wednesday class and a project, which means Karl has a 5 day weekend for spring quarter of his senior year.

Karl made some non crunchy rice and BBQ Chicken breasts for dinner, and went to the library instead of Norris as he had planned afterwards. He came home and started working on his web class homework, which requires him to learn Perl and CGI.

Karl has been pressuring friends to go to Addison to watch a movie. He plans on using that theater as his prequel viewing location. If any readers have been there, let Karl know what you think of the place.

After that, Karl took another nap and missed Stats but made it to Vogelback for his WWW meeting. After that was another poor lunch at the Plex, with plans made for Allison today and Varsity Blues last night. Both Marci and Veronica made appearances during lunch as well.

Karl, Ted, Eric and Marci saw Varsity Blues at Webster Place Theaters down near Karl's 'hood. Karl now wishes he played football in Texas. Friends think with about 50 more pounds and hands like glue he could possibly be a wide reciever.

Once again, Karl had a crappy lunch at Saga. He was forced to the other side of the plex after they took the food away from the West side. He had this sub with Jalepenos on it or something. Not good according to Karl.

Last night Marci came over and hung out as friends in Karl's room. Last night he and Marci took a purity test, and Karl scored a whopping 76.

He worked on his project for Intro to WWW class, specifically the Corporate Relations pages for the new A&O Productions web page.

Karl's computer is now capable of running at 1280x1024 at 32bits. He also has 64 MB of RAM thanks to clouds and Ted.

His video card came from Diamond today. It didn't take long to install under windows, but he spent a good while working on modelines. They come a lot quicker after having spent the time and energy to figure them out the first time.

Karl spent some time last night with Marci H. As friends.

Saturday Karl went home and got a new haircut. No longer sporting a part, Karl has moved into the 90's with a Caesar. It looks good. Later that night, Karl showed it off going to the Green Mill to see Monk's Dream perform. Mike Kocour was part of the group, and he's a music professor teaching the jazz class Karl's roommate is taking. After having a Manhattan and a Negroni, Karl finished the night with a beer, but then wanted to continue the night at Hamilton's, but the rest of the crew, consisting of Eric, Schmack, and Dave, didn't. So they made their way back to Ridge Warren to watch pornography and drink beer or cider under the guise of Ted's suggestion for Ridge Warren Guys' night in.

Karl continues to work on his paper Sunday, even going to the library to hopefully finish it up after cooking pasta for dinner. Tomorrow Karl plans to work out again after lunch, and go grocery shopping later in the afternoon.

Karl and Dave and Eric went to Dixie Kitchen & Bait shop. They were served by Magda. Karl had a shrimp Po'boy and cup of Gumbo. It was the lunch special.

Karl had to go in the late afternoon to get some whiteout from Osco. He was looking for someone to join him, but went alone and got some Jalepeno Krunchers.

Tonight, Karl might be going to get drunk at a movie, spiking his Pepsi with rum, as usual. It was either that or a surprise birthday party for White/Off White.

Today Karl actually started the paper, but also downloaded the Korn mp3 as well. He might have done that last night, but sources haven't been too observant as of late. Word is Karl is up for the Nobel Peace Prize, but that's only reported by a certain individual, whose track record until now has been flawless.

Tonight Karl ventures south to McCormick Place to see the Chicago Auto Show with Dave Morse, roommate of freshmen year. Karl and Dave have also started working out, monday, wednesday, and friday at SPAC after lunch. Karl is using a workout specified by Maxim Magazine to bulk up his lanky ass frame.

Tomorrow Karl, Dave, and Eric are going to lunch at Dixie Kitchen to be served by a Magda. It's about time. Burgandy and White. Weekend plans are in the air for Karl.

Karl had a meeting this morning at 6:30am at NROTC. He borrowed a car to get there. He is also feeling a bit under the weather, possibly coming down with a fever. He stayed pretty much all day yesterday in bed. He did find the strength and energy to play some NCAA football and yell at his halfback yesterday and this morning.

On the way home they stopped at a Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins combo place and got a dozen donuts and milkshakes. Karl went for a glazed crueller an apple & spice, and a chocolate glazed, and a chocolate milkshake.

Tonight Karl plans on studying at the Unicorn Cafe after dinner. It's part of a new effort to spend more time outside of Ridge Warren.

Tuesday saw Karl in uniform, sporting a haircut from Jay's. Noyes Barbershop was booked all day. It was working on that assignment that occupied most of Karl's time yesterday, but he did find time to order a new video card for his computer, and think about upgrading his RAM. He plans on running Enlightenment as a window manager under X in Linux.

Today Karl was having a bad hair day. His cowlick, in the back right side of his head, was sticking up all day, due to the haircut and the wind conditions in Evanston. He also didn't get to read his magazine in Intro to WWW today, because we actually talked in groups about projects. For dinner tonight, when Burgandy and White comes over to share in the meal, Karl is cooking Pasta Carbondanza, or whatever it is that takes a pound of bacon and 3 tbsps. of butter.

Tonight Karl went with Morse and Robinson for pizza to celebrate a general birthday for all of them, about a 2 week span or so. Remember, Karl's birthday is this thursday, February 4th. There are some plans afoot to go clubbing that night as well.

He made an Air Force Dinner; noodles, ground beef, celery and assorted vegetables and spices in a tomato based sauce. No corn this time though. After that, he had to go up to NROTC to do some things, to clean up, rumor has it.

This weekend brings a possible Dolphin Show date and the SuperBowl, including WWF's Halftime Heat.

Yesterday, Karl skipped his classes for more important things, like sleep. He did make it to lunch, and afterward proceeded to NROTC to go over his evaluation. Around 4pm he did dishes, and then left to usher the basketball game. After the game he went to Lindy 2 swing lessons held by the NUSwingers club. He's so money.

Sometime yesterday, Karl went and got outfitted by Navy Tailors for his uniform for when he becomes an Ensign. Dress Blues and Summer Whites, along with a couple Khaki outfits rounded out his future 5 year closet.

Last night was working on an assignment for Intro to WWW, namely a small 4 page or so web site. Karl's wanted to be something about his room, using hand drawings to depict where Karl lives.

After class Karl went to lunch, had nothing of consequence, and then printed out a HOWTO on modelines for an xserver for linux at the library, which he worked on during the afternoon.

He listened to loveline, as always, and watched Adam C. on Letterman. He also did dishes afterwards. Then he proceded to browse the web looking for The girl from Ipanema and information on the Shand Morahan Building.

Karl had a pretty good weekend. Friday started out with that lunch date, and then he had homework to do, which he eventually finished up later that night. Then he watched some movies, again with Marci H., specifically Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Blade.

Saturday Karl had some other work to do, went to the basketball game that evening as an usher, and then went to Hamilton's later that evening with friends over the age of 21, and some others. Burgandy and White.

Sunday was pretty uneventful, besides the Royal Rumble at night. He had to go to NROTC to perform some duties, and that was his weekend.

Tonight he went to another basketball game. There's a chance a certain blonde haired individual might make more eye contact with him tonight.

Friday Karl also has a luncheon date. The regular Saga goers will miss him then.

This weekend brings WWF Royal Rumble to Ridge Warren.

Nevermind, Karl just received the call so he doesn't have to go to lab today. Go Navy.

Karl was chewed out this past weekend for not doing evaluations of his unit for NROTC. He had to go up last night and finish them.

Also this past weekend Karl and friends tried the new Annam Cafe on Clarke, a little vietnamese place that just opened. It was pretty good and Karl had number 42, some marinated beef. He opted not for the 41, the chunk steak to the dismay of the other members in his party. Maybe next time.

Karl has updated his web page.

A friend from home is visiting Karl today, Mike, who may have been mentioned on this site before. I believe they're talking about computer programming.

There is some stated interesting in getting more pictures of Karl up on this web site. Expect some soon.

Yesterday a mysterious woman said hello to Karl after the game. Karl replied with a witty, "I don't have my glasses on, who are you?", to which he was snubbed. Any information as to who this individual is will be rewarded. Send info to nackintouch@nwu.edu.

So Karl had a pretty good break, too short like they always are. He went home, hung out there. He spent New Year's Eve at Navy Pier with the boys from Diversy, where he drank lots of liquer, in poorly made Martinis. For christmas notable gifts were cologne, or eau de toilette, and some good liquer.

Classes look interesting for Karl this quarter, with only 3, a stats class, boring as usual, Software Project Managment, and Intro to WWW. He knows plenty of people in Intro to WWW. He also continues to have lunch at the Plex, West side at noon. There is a liking to the snow, but not to the sub zero temperatures which Karl being a Chicago native should be able to enjoy.

Karl went home this afternoon to get the car to do some food shopping later today. Looks like a Jewel and Sam's Club run. Ridge Warren is running out of base liquers, specifically Gin and Tequila.

Holiday plans for Karl include going to Koehler to visit his grandmother on Christmas.

due to problems with Ridge Warren's internet connection, updates will be sporadic all throughout winter break, from now until January.

Karl has a paper due today and an OS midterm. After that though there's nothing left until finals next week, so there is some talk of going to Nevin's during Happy Hour.

This weekend Karl is going to St. Louis to watch the Big 12 Championship with Adam Grayson and possibly Veronica Vaquer. Knaq is driving down, leaving Friday and returning Sunday. He will be staying with the Iyers, whose famous son Viniak, who appeared on Jeopardy exactly one year and one day ago.

In academic news, Karl will be working on a secure shell implementation with some partners in OS for that project. But otherwise, Karl is dor finals.

Karl had thought the library was open 24 hours this week, but was disappointed to find out it doesn't start till this weekend. He also would like to partake in the early morning breakfast deal at Norris, but is unsure if it takes place this week or not.
