The Agrinautica

   Power has been out here at The Trees all day. Typical. At least this time the internet is still up. And I have someone scheduled to come look at the apartment at six... there better be power!!!! )=


   The guy who smashed my car didn't show up at Court this morning, so the primary reason I'm here, to testify against him, is moot. Now they have to go arrest him and it might be months before he's finally brought back to trial.

   Anyway, laptop battery is about to die.


***EDIT: 4:43pm***
   Turns out the power is out because my roommate Jason hasn't been paying the power bills again. This is extremely unfortunate timing since I have someone coming to look at the apartment tomorrow morning as well as this afternoon, and the power won't be back by 11am tomorrow at the very earliest (and if I recall correctly they usually lag on these things). )=


   Anyway, here's Northern California, to the same scale as I did the So. Cal. map.

   So on Thursday afternoon I parked at the end of Oak St --since it is the closest free parking (after five) to the Memorial Union, at a distance of about a furlong)-- to go to Senate & give them the recent case opinion.
   I'm taking Intro to Public Speaking right now. People think its tedious to make a speech on some topic of their choosing to 20 or so people in the discussion group? Well try addressing a room full of Senators & other officers on a subject that (A) is kind of tedious to explain, & (B) is something they disagree with. Not that I stressed about it, I'm used to the senate, but it was a bit awkward that I was basically telling a room full of people that they were wrong on several important points.
   Anyway, I thought the issue was pretty clear when you got down to it, but some such as former senator Darth Lloyd say "to say that i disagree is an understatement my friend," so I've been meaning to once more try to lay out the issues in easily understandable terms. (see below)

   After Senate I was to play intertube waterpolo with Lyrakeet & others, so I left as local legislation enthusiast Brent Laabs was giving a presentation about why we should secede from the union University of California Student Association (UCSA) ("Their charter says 'Student Association,' but their webpage and a number of other documents say 'students association' -- it appears they don't even know their own name").
   Next I needed to get my swimtrunks which I thought were at Kristy's place in The Colleges, about four furlongs across campus -- I could drive there to have my car with me, but since there's only ten "guest" spots for the several hundred people that live there, the odds of getting one are slim and the closest free parking spot would probably still be Oak. So I walked over there.
   Only, they weren't there! I was supposed to be at the pool in fifteen minutes, yet I was half a mile from my car and it was hot and I wear wearing a suit & tie! )=
   Lyric & Kim picked me up and we made a mad dash to my place for my togs and back to the pool.... but the other team hadn't shown up anyway so it was all for nothing.

   Friday morning I toured McGeorge Law School with Φ A Δ, and then that evening Kritsy & I went to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at The Warfield in SF.
   I'd never been to the Warfield before. It was pretty awesome. Looked like an Opera-house or something. Kitten-princess & I were only four rows back from the front of the balcony, which means we had an excellent view -- though Krispy Kritter would have liked to prance about on the floor.

   This morning I took a mock LSAT over at the UCD law school (BTW, I mentioned a bit ago that Sara Henry was running for president of the Law Student Assn -- well she lost). Before and after this I made an appearance at the dry run Davis MUN was doing for the upcoming conference we put on here. I started to take the "UberCAT" test (CAT = Chair Aptitude Test, but really it was megalomaniacally backronymed to be named after SG Catherine, who created them)to test out of chair training but then I had to leave for the Mock LSAT.


Picture of the Day

Bailey & Kristy slumber

Van Schoelandt v. ASUCD Senate
   Since its long and tedious to explain it in any more understandable terms than it already is in the opinion, I think I might address specific parts of the case in different entries. For now, an outline of the arguments:
   Of course the case regards a closed session that occured on 01/12/06 in the midst of a constitutional crisis. No reason for the closed session was announced, but after it was over the Senate had a Bill written to retroactively change the requirements for Senate office. The codes state that notification in various forms is to be given for closed sessions, and that these sessions can only be called for specificly listed reasons.
(1) Defence asserts the session was called as a "personnel matter." Does it fulfill the requirements for a personnel session?: (A) can a personnel closed session be called "in general" about nothing (and no one) specific? (B) Can Senators-elect be considered subject personnel? (Can the outcome of an election be considered a "Personnel Matter?")
(2) (A) Can a personnel closed session be called on people without their knowledge? (B) Can a personnel closed session be called without notifying the public?
(3) How can this situation be remedied in light of the potential privacy concerns of hypothetical subject parties who may hypothetically have been discussed?

   Once you are familiar with the discussion of these subjects, I believe you, like me, will be completely at a loss as to on what grounds Lloyd completely disagrees.


Current Music: I dedicate the song Hefner - To Hide a Little Thought to the Closed Session of 01/12/06 and everything that ensued. (= Dl it while its hot!

   Two Years Ago Last Wednesday: Getting Shafted By Airport Security - A chair my first PAXMUN conference down in San Diego. Mara talked me into it. This girl Swati was in my committee, two years later she's introduced to PAXMUN as a staffer for the San Diego conference 2006.
   Two Years Ago Yesterday: Day Before the Pixies Show - Which was followed by the day OF the Pixies day, incidently, which was a lot more exciting.

   So yesterday, Thursday, was the much awaited Flogging Molly (& the Vandals) show at the OC Fair. Earlier in the week Allie (Bloomquist) had called to invite me to attend the show with them (her and Amy Bartrum), to which the answer was a firm heck yes. As I was preparing to leave for the show, my friend Hannah (Westergard) called to invite me to the fair with her and her friends that evening.
   When I arrived at the fair both Allie and Hannah were far from ready so it looked like I'd be lollygagging by myself for a bit. However barely had I stepped out of my car then I ran into Jamie, which was awesome because we've been meaning to hang out for awhile but it keeps falling through. She and her friend were awaiting more of her friends so I hung out with them for awhile.
   Unfortunately the Pacific Amphatheatre in which the show was happening had assigned seating by section, and the fascists wouldn't let me sit with Jamie and her friends because I was assigned to a different section. )= So I stood by myself for awhile but then the ubernazi security people told me I had to keep moving as long as I wasn't at a seat -- one couldn't stand around. So then feeling very persecuted and oppressed I slowly paced back and forth while watching the vandals. Shortly however I met up with some other disgruntled youths who were not subjecting themselves to assigned seating, preferring to roam freely along the walk way, and I joined their noble cause of trying to start a mosh pit on the walkway.
   We had some good times but the fact that literally if at any point both our feet were on the ground and not moving at the same time we'd be sternly told to keep moving got pretty old. Eventually Allie and co arrived so I had to leave the nomadic adventurers, but they'd eventually join me and Allie and co.
   So Allie had her boyfriend along, as well as some other guy and Amy and Amy's mother, Dr Bartom (don't dis, everyone thinks she's hip -- she's also a teacher at Villa Park HS incidently). Shortly after we started trying to infiltrate the amphatheatre seating we spotted Alex Hughes, and we all managed to infiltrate that section and hang out with them. Eventually as I said the guys I'd been hanging out with earlier joined us there as well.
   And then Flogging Molly came on and verily they were excellent. It was weird to see them from an assigned seat (we were all standing at our seats the whole time though) rather than somewhere where one could freely rock out and mosh about.
   When "If I Ever Leave This World Alive" came on Allie, Amy and Amy's mom had their arms around eachother and I knew they were thinking about Eric and it was sad. )=

   After the show ended I caught up with Hannah and we hung out for a little while. Also ran into Jessiska (afoxygoddess) exiting the show.


In Bee News
   On Wednesday we responded to a call at the Disneyland Sheraton Hotel. They kept us waiting for twenty minutes and it wasn't until Jeremy announced that we were leaving in five minutes if someone didn't come tell us what was going on there. The Man promptly arrived and explained that he had been meeting with the owner-representatives. He showed us where there had been wasps nests, but painters had already removed them.
   It seems to me that if there's only one person who can tell bee removal people what needs to be done (and he was the only person who could sign our paperwork), and that is the same person who meets with the owner-representatives, the Disneyland Sheraton must have an absolutely cripplingly bottlenecked management hierarchy.

   While waiting in the lobby I read a copy of the Wallstreet journal that was sitting on the desk there. Did you know miners in iron mines make $50 an hour?! Some college students on the East Coast do that as a summer job. They work 16 hour days, but heck, thats $800 a day! I think I have a new plan for next summer.

   Today Jeremy (pictured here hard at work on Wednesday, note his dog) and I stopped at In-N-Out for lunch. There were some punk kids hanging out outside it. I casually took my hat off to itch my head as I passed by and sure enough they were immediately like "hey ghostbuster!" (mohawk = instant punk cred)


Picture of the Day

Returning home from work yesterday I felt compelled to rescue this bee that was drowning in my pool. In retrospect the picture would have been really awesome if I'd been doing a thumbs up. I'll try to recreate it sometime. See also THIS picture of bee buster Bobby on a roof, and THIS picture I took while leaving the fair.

   After my one class today 10-11 and some meetings, I hung out with Roxie and watched this band she'd brought, The Groovie Ghoulies. They were a psychobilly band, which is the awesome, but I was really impressed by their ability to randomly do songs in completely other genres and do them well.

   After that I spent about an hour as an itinerate MU urchin. I wanted to get ahold of Kristy to see if she wanted to lunch with me but without my phone I was powerless. Nor could I call any other friend for that matter. I've never felt so alone in the middle of campus. Eventually Gena took pity on me and accompanied me to Pita Pit whereupon I devoured a gyro.


   Much later I was fleeing an ASUCD Supreme Court meeting when I noticed some commotion in the Coffee House. Turns out it was an electronica show organized by Amie Gutierrez. "Electric Badness" was playing when I got there and I thought they were pretty cool so I hung out for awhile there with Roxie. Then another band came on that I wasn't feeling so much so I went on my way.


   Apparently my cell phone turned up, they want me to call some number (I think its the MU Information Desk). Hopefully I'll be able to track it down tomorrow.

   Also Kristy and I have been dating for a year and a half now. She is sauce that is strong and I have jockred for her.

   Two Years Ago Today: Donakazis - the drink that has more alcohol in it than the sum of its component parts, somehow
   Year Ago Today: Thai Food and Hippies - and six months

   You know I've been ridiculously busy when I haven't been keeping up with livejournal entries. This week I had a midterm in Israeli History for which I had a lot of reading to catch up on, and then we had one day to write the take-home essay portion (comparing and contrasting Labour Zionism, Religious Zionism, & Revisionist Zionism).


Last Weekend
   We had our second annual Mock Model UN conference, where we pretend to be at a conference pretending to be at a UN conference. Incidently a year ago last wednesday we had the first such mock conferences for our incoming MUNers.
   We didn't actually get on to our second chance but it looked like we might, so I set up for the emergency topic I've been waiting to do for awhile: the militant secession of Quebec from Canada to form an independant communist state. Towards the end of the day I'd periodically make announcements such as "Its been discovered that weapons of mass destruction were smuggled out of Iraq prior to the fall of the Baathist regime... they're now in Canada!" and announced the actual secession in the last five minutes. Incidently Canda was represented by the infamous Paul Amnaypayout.

   Kritsy and I went on a trek down to SF to see the Plain White T's at The Pound. Turns out The Pound is located between shipping container storage areas on some docks in the middle of nowhere. PWTs were preceded by Army of Freshman, a band that struck me as very boy-band-esque. We got there as AoF was ending, saw PWTs and promptly left for the long trek back to Davis.


This Weekend
   We had our second annual "Crash Course in Chairing" (CCC) in preperation for Contra Conta County MUN Conference (CCC MUNC) 2003. Once again for this CCC(C) I was teaching the uninitiated How To Score. Being as I am the expert in this area. And by score, I mean evaluating people's performance and attributing a numerical grade to it.
   We followed the tradition I started last year for this and had people represent historical countries which no longer exist. I represented the Khanate of the Golden Horde, also present was The Ottoman Empire, The Confederate States of America, The Roman Empire, Oluwaseun-Okusanyastan, and a country called Bican (which I referred to as Bacon), among others.


Previously On EMOSNAIL - the erstwhile events of yesteryear
   23 October, 2003: Return of Officer Chang - I randomly decided to stop by an ASUCD Senate meeting, when who should manifest himself to the displeasure of my conscience, but the odious Officer Chang. The very officer who dismissed it as just a fight when I was set upon by three wanna-be gangstas and left unconscious, refusing to follow the leads we did have. And why was he before the ASUCD Senate this time? Well because he had been fired, because, well, he's probably a terrible officer if my experience is any indication. Why does this involve ASUCD? It doesn't, but he thought he could get their sympathy by claiming he was discriminated against in his termination. And I believe he did and following a general publicity campaign on campus was reinstated.
   24 October, 2003: Tough on Crime - The Further Antics of the Davis Police - Under-cover officer in pink shirt nabs skinhead?
   Year Ago Wednesday: Tear Gas & Thai Food - More unusually unruly incidents at Kristy's former complex, Stirling Apartments. It would later be the site of a major riot that took several dozen officers in riot gear to put down and is probably responsible for the tough-on-partying doctrine the police currently employ.
      Also the fallout from the Taking Back Sunday Incident develops further. This section was later cited by ASUCD President Sara Henry in her second attempt to remove me and I believe Lydiana denied making the statements I attributed to her. Incidently I know she did because I wrote it down the moment she said it and it probably appears in the minutes. One thing I can't stand is people who lie and she lost more respect from me in her denial than she did for making the statements or for voting for my removal.
   Year Ago Last Thursday: Judicial Foreshadowing - I speculate about the fat guys in cowboy hats who seem to be in the back of every large poli sci class and feel the need to share with the professor their every thought as if the rest of the class needs to know as well. And I mention the malevolent loop-hole which is just about to make a mess.
   Year Ago Last Friday: ASUCD Misprocessing - Previously mentioned malevolent loophole accidently activitated. Apparently my email got lost in former Senate President Pro Tempore Raj Gupta's inbox, causing the problems. Working with him later on I was left ultimately with a thoroughly good opinion of him.
      Also I ran this livejournal through this flesch-kincaid reading grade level calculator. Doing it again just now I find that this livejournal is now rated at grade level 10 rather than eight; words per sentence are up to 20.78 from 16.44 and syllables per word are up to 1.52 from 1.49.

   On my way to the Plain White T's¹ show I stopped by Diedrichs with the lingering hope that I still might find some clue as to what happened to the former "Diedrichs Crew." As it turns out, I did luck out this time and found Krispy and Abby there.


( Where Are They Now? The (former) Diedrichs Crew )

Plain White T's
   The PWT show was awesome. I think it was one of the best shows I've been to in awhile. Afterwords I was going on about how excellent it was to Kristy and I think she hates me for it now because she missed them when they were in the Bay Area.
   I was afraid I'd be disappointed because I've overplayed most of their songs on my playlist, but at least half their set was new material. I think its the only show I've ever seen at Chain Reaction to have crowd surfers (lots of them), and the moshing was excellent. Unlike a lot of shows it wasn't tough guys trying to show off how tough they are and how violently they can mosh and shove, but people just enjoying themselves, it was excellent.
   At the show I hung out with Anna LeLoup (former columnist for the Chosen Echidna) and Camille (mystiqmusic). Afterwords I hung out with Allie Bloomqvist (flyinmonkey) and Laurie (wrong_cow_girl). Incidentally, Anna, Camille and Allie were originally all part of the same group of people but it disintigrated as so many groups do and I think now I'm one of few people who still hangs out with different former members of it.

[Poll #313435]


¹Yes Tobin I realize there is a grammatical error inherent in their name, that is not my doing.

   So I got there at 9am, earlier than I've been on campus for months, to help with load in. Not knowing what plugs into what and where things go makes helping difficult, but I did my best and plugged in some monitors.. then we put up barricades.. then I had to go tour a winery at 10:30.
   The entertainment council had scheduled us so there were at least four of us in freeborn hall at all times, so my next shift was from 12:00 to 1:30, during which time none of us did anything because there wasn't anything to do.
   We weren't particularly excited about the opening band (I never learned who they even were) so a few of us took advantage of our special ability to go in and out of the venue to go get icecream from the COHO.
   Then I'm sitting in the lobby with two volunteers whose names I don't know, and the guy sees someone come out of the staff rooms with a cup of water. Deciding he wants a cup of water he goes over there to inquire about water and gets sent somewhere else. Then I says to the other "you can get whatever you want from the staff room if you just look like you know what you're doing. For example, I'm going to get some coffee from them," and I proceeded to go in and steal some of their coffee. Meeting up with Arya and Vanessa after that, they asked where I got the coffee and I explained it to them. A minute later they come back with sodas and I'm like "you got sodas from the staff room??" and Arya was like "haha we one upped you." I was about to mount a further raid to one up them, but Pixies came on.

   Pixies are excellent.

   Helped evacuate the opening band's stuff from the stage before the Pixies came on, distributed Shins flyers to people trying to escape after the show, helped with load out after the show. Arya and Yadira (porcelain999) helped a bit with load out too, but they soon disappeared.
   Head sound guy asked if I was working the coachella show. Then he joked "can we request you?" Head of the freeborn staff: "if you ever want to work for freeborn..." me: "you have open positions?" staff member: "we could make one for you." I think the promoter said something nice too.
   I don't know about working for freeborn; the one thing that wild rivers taught me more than anything else is that while hard work may impress people not expecting it, as an employee you'll be constantly overshadowed by people that work less hard and shmooze the higher ups constantly. One of their employees had a small mohawk though, so I think I could keep mine.

   Then I walked home. It took 45 minutes but I thoroughly enjoyed the night and the solitude.

   And saw two cops that actually looked young to me and I was like "wow I'm getting old."

PS: Tickets to this pixies show sold on ebay for like $500!

   Yesterday (Saturday) Alex and Oi Kelly (known collectively as Kaelex) came down to pick me up, and waited at Diedrichs off La Paz for me to return from the wilderness creek-bed I was in at the time (true story). Unfortunately I was about an hour's hike from civilization.
   Anyway, then we headed up to see their friends in The Something play at Corona Showcase (33.5 miles north by mapquest, up in "the 909"). Show was good, I really liked The Something even though apparently the sound guy did a terrible job. I'd like to try to get them up to Davis, I'm gonna try to get a demo and float it around the entertainment council. Y'all should check them out.
   Anyway, so thing is this girl up front starts mad heckling the lead singer, Ryan. And seriously I don't know what her deal is cause she's front and center and was taking pictures of him earlier but she thinks she needs to heckle him? So he puts the mike in front of her so everyone can hear her stream of profanity.. but she yanks the cord out and breaks the mike! Sound guy pulls then pulls their plug and the band gets kicked out.
   Sound guy is convinced THEY broke it by throwing it at the floor, even though we have mad witnesses and cords don't get pulled out by throwing things at floors anyway. Ryan and Sound Guy almost get in a fight, Sound Guy saying "you don't know who I am!! Ryan: "well who the hell are you then?" Sound Guy: "I don't have time for this shit" and storms off.
   So then Oi Kelly hunts down the girl that pulled the plug, and finds her; in the boys restroom smoking pot with her boyfriend and girliefriends. So Oi Kelly confronts her and of course she's utterly unsympathetic and remorseless - so Oi Kelly hella bitchslaps her, and a fight ensues. Girl mad scratches Kelly, and the boyfriend gets involved, and then the bouncer breaks it up.
   But man did that girl scratch. What a biatch. Kelly got a good kick in at the girl's crotch -- if she were a boy she's be done.

   Then Kaelex, Ryan the lead singer and I went back to Diedrichs off La Paz. There we got ice for Kelly's scratches, and her neck was hurting from whiplash or something. Kaelex and Ryan the lead singer bonded with Ryan the Diedrichs employee, and I went to get alcohol for Ryan (RtLS); "what do you want?" "I don't know, a 40 of something cheap" "Steel reserve it is then - its the house drink."
   And I got myself another bottle of cisco. Man, that stuff tastes aweful - but it gets you drunk MAD fast, and doesn't make you sick. Drunk off steel = getting sick, unfortunately.

Last Samurai
   Returning from Tahoe on Friday, Kwisty and I went to see The Last Samurai.
   Overall I think the movie was very good. The only thing that bothered me was in the end when the two gatling guns managed to kill everyone in front of them even though they were only marginally capable of swivelling. There was actually a scene looking down the barrel where one could clearly see people dying all over the place in complete disregard for where the gun was actually pointed. I dunno, that one part was just strikingly more problematic than anything else in the movie.


Runway Airplane
   "'Run-A-way' airplane or 'RUNWAY airplane?'" "Yea I was a bit confused abotu that at first too - its runWAY airplane" "thats a bit redundant isn't it? thats like 'road car' or something" "well 'driveway car' would be more appropriate." Aren't you glad I included that conversation? Thats me, Adrian, jill, and myself again.
   Anyway, Saturday night Adrian, Jill and I went to Captiol Garage to see their friends' band Runway Airplane. Azver randomly turned out to be there as well seeing a different movie. The end.


Today
   Adrian roasted a sandwich over the stove burner because we're innovative like that. Then I jokingly said I'd pay him a quarter to make me one, and he did. It was hella good.

Sunday Night
   So Saturday night, after I wrote that other entry, Sean and Ishar (iamrav) picked me up and we went to safe-way for alcohol.
   So we find ourselves looking at bud light and steel reserve. Everyone is indecisive. They ask me what I'd prefer and I indicate steel, they're like "yea steel sounds good." Then we look at the hard alcohol, trying to decide between rum and vodka. Finally I say "well I'm probably just gonna drink steel so I dunno," they immediately decide just to get another case of steel. Then as we're about to leave, Ishar decides to add one more case of steel for good measure, so we walk out with three cases of steel reserve. (=

   So we get to the party, someplace off Arthur they had heard about it while partying the night before. So we get there and its pretty cool, not very many people but we had a lot of fun. We made "brass monkeys," by mixing steel reserve and orange juice, and the legends are true it IS hella good. Some dude swore it tasted better with Olde E, but then he tried it and admitted it was definitely better. The girls hella jocked Sean and his kerryman accent. And Sean used the word "jock" and I thought it was funny. And people played drunken scrabble, with a double word score for any word pertaining to alcohol.
   There was another guy there with a 'hawk, and other people who had previously had them. Sean even admitted having once had one, we then declared that all irishmen have 'hawks at some point.

   Then I apparently left a hilarious drunken messege on Kristy's phone. Uh, I deny everything.


Today (Monday)
   Woke up feeling like crap and had an hour to pack everything for break. Got a ride down with Eric from the List and his Girlfriend (Brittany?). Traditional stop at In-N-Out, nothing else noteworthy to report

   Stopped by Diedrichs off La Paz on my way to Chain Reaction. Tristan told me to go away and that no one liked me there, Krispy said something similar I think, all I remember was that he looked strangely like John Travolta with a faux hawk, Megan and Abby just stared at me blankly, and then I proceeded on to Chain.

   Robin Kivlin's band Jack Bighead was playing at Chain Reaction. They played third and when they finished nearly everyone in the place left. A "real" promoter also actually talked to them afterwords so that was awesome. Also I heard that one must play Hogie Barmichaels (a miserable little place) once or twice in order to play at Chain, and at Chain about four times before one can play at Glasshouse. I had no idea one's progression in the world was so organized.

   On the way home I saw cars with hella roadrage. They were leapfrogging eachother to shien the other with high beams. Road rage is so lame, seriously. If you think the car in front of you is too slow, don't be hella rude about it. I always picture the person being subjected to such shows of roadrage as some old lady or other person one would never be rude to in real life. People act like just because they can't see the other person and said person can't beat them up its suddenly okay to be mad disrespectful to them.. thats cowardly at best. [/end rant]
