I should work for the CIA

The wireless internet here in my apartment is often sketchy. So today I was having trouble connecting at all. I looked at the list of other available wireless networks and noticed that my neighbor has taken the proactive step of getting her own wireless router and plugging it into the wall so that she doesn't have to rely on the university provided wireless network that is so bad. I on the other hand am too cheap to go and buy my own router and therefore have been plagued with patch internet service. Of course, I would like to connect to my neighbor's and take advantage of her responsible nature. However, the network is password protected.

Here's where the title of this post comes in. I successfully guessed her password on the first attempt! Admittedly, "princeton" is not a very creative password when the network requires the password to be 8 characters or more. But you've got to hand it to me for either incredible luck or incredible deftness as cracking passwords. I'm going to assume the latter.

I think I'll try my luck at wellsfargo.com for the rest of the afternoon.

Version 2.0

The blog is back! My 3-4 semi-regular readers inquired over the summer as to why my blog was lying dormant on the internet. My response was that posting on this blog is correlated with how exciting my life is. Definitely correlated, but negatively so.

Well it's been several months since I last put something up here. I figured it was time to give the entire page a new look as it is the start of a new year. Note that (although slowly), the countdown in the title is getting closer to zero.

School is starting up. The summer was wonderful. I am officially a second year. My new apartment is fantastic and a huge upgrade from my dorm. I proudly display my microwave without any fear of repercussions. And I have a new job at church. I am in charge of the 11 year old scouts. Sadly, I threw away my scout uniform several years ago, along with my manual, so I'm starting fresh. My mother was quick to point me to a video that I think I have posted here before. However, this time as I watched it I laughed even harder as it's become even more apropos. Enjoy!

:58 takes on a whole new meaning.
