oh a choice!
I've been told to offer a disclaimer about the change in schedule from the whole "40 posts in 40 days" thing. the reason for that marketing campaign was to revive blogspot, but seeing as to how many people now know what hibachi is, i think i can safely say that blog is back. either way, i've skipped a few days here and there for various reasons, but I've decided to change my motto to be "updated every workday." of course, this essentially means every "weekday," but workday sounds more official and/or professional. this way, every day after school or work or lunch or dinner or whenever you decide to waste time in front of your computer, you can depend on www.mokalus.blogspot.com to hold your attention for at least 1 minute.

but on to the post. today, for the first time in this blog's history, you can help test out this beta version of a "choose your own adventure" post. anyone remember those books? they were great. this adventure is based on a true story known as "this past weekend." I don't think it's exciting enough to be deemed an adventure, but hey, you're here reading this, so you must have nothing better to do anyways.

so here it is. hope this works. i'm not entirely sure how to write or organize one of these dealios, but we'll see how it goes.

The following takes place between 12:00 PM Saturday and 11:59 PM Sunday.

1) The alarm goes off, but you're exhausted after the previous night's Bang! club meeting. You hop in the shower to wake yourself up, only to walk out 10 minutes later to the sound of Lex singing some gospel song at the top of his lungs in an attempt to either wake Peter up or kill the cat. Xiao is there as well and asks if you're still going to Saltlick for Jonathan Barker's birthday. Do you go?
If you choose YES, go to section 2. If you choose NO, go to section 3.

2) Wise choice, young grasshopper. You drive all the way out to Slaughter Lane to pig out on pigs and cows. You also receive a front-row seat to witness your adopted son, Caleb, chow down the most brisket you have ever seen in your life. After 7 rounds of gluttony, you top it all off with the most delicious peach cobbler ala mode imaginable.

On the way back to campus, you remember that Lawrence asked if you wanted to go see the UT basketball game with him. Considering the fact that you've never been to a game, as well as the continually more-obvious conclusion that Kevin Durant is not going to be here next year, do you decide to go?
If you choose YES, go to section 4. If you choose NO, go to section 5.

3) You fool! Saltlick is a once a year ordeal, and guess what? So is Jonathan's birthday. So by skipping out on this, you are 0 for 2. Your friends come back from Saltlick with full bellies and intriguing stories, and you die from the overwhelming jealousy.

4) You show up at about halftime and try to enter the building with Weili's student ID, since you don't have a sports package. The ticketing agent just happens to be of Asian descent, so he doesn't think all of us look alike. You get arrested, only to be let go 30 minutes later due to your uncontrollable sobbing that the police mistake for a seizure. Bad choice.

5) You watch the 2nd half of the game on TV, which ends up being a better view as well as within close proximity to a clean toilet, which is always a plus.

Ophelia calls you up, and you ask her if she wants to watch a movie. She says sure, then mentions that she has a couple at her place, including "Underworld." You normally say nay to movies that have anything to do with vampires or werewolves, but this one includes both species. Do you watch the movie?
If you choose YES, go to section 6. If you choose NO, go to section 7.

6) The movie turns out to be much better than you expected, and you found a reason to get out of your apartment. You win. GG.

7) You decline the movie, claiming it'd be stupid to watch it since vampires and werewolves don't even exist. Then your cat leaps onto your back and digs her teeth into your neck. You lose.

Well, I was gonna do the whole weekend, but this is taking a lot longer than I thought it'd be. Sunday was basically basketball (managing and playing), vox (with david crowder), and hyde park bar and grill (with the gf).

speaking of basketball, though, my knee was pretty sore today. and i didn't even run or jump on it real hard yesterday. knee injuries are just scary. i feel for ya, shaq. and lawrence.

aite peace out. remember, updated every workday!
