No real feature articles about my own escapades, sorry. Then again, an ancient Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times." No, really. I'm not just making it up. Well, until I become more interesting, this'll have to do. . . No, wait! Read the entire thing, dammit! Even the briefs, especially the briefs! Feature Article: Tropical Storm Floyd: The Aftermath ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Tri-State area has been forgotten, due to the tragic events that transpired in Taiwan. But as well we should, as the casualty rate here stayed under 100, if not 75. This is my second day of school in a row, so it's a safe bet that routine has generally settled in again. Most restaurants have shorter hours due to water contamination, and people are being asked not to shower as frequently, to conserve what little safe water there is. All the drinking fountains in the town have been discontinued; consequently people who normally drank only soda are now buying out all the bottled water available. At school, all teacher desks now have an extra bottle of water with small cups next to them. These weren't your regular Dixie cups though, they were plain white and nearly the size of shot glasses. They could remind me of only one thing. So, being the Skewie* I am, I picked up one of the cups & proceed to quote as many Mallrats lines as I could throughout the day. Unfortunately, nobody joins in anymore, leaving my Brodie-Bruce-like rantings about the proper fear children should have for the escalator a unique occurrence. News Briefs ----------------- Gonna try a different format with these, see if it'll get people to actually read these. . . As stated previously multiple times, I am missing a copy of one of my very own LuKas Update letters. It's between 9-06-99 and 9-19-99. The first person who sends it to me will get their own "Clerks" bumper sticker free!. . . As stated previously multiple times, I am also planning a trip down to Red Bank, NJ, home of Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash. If you want anything, mail me. Hell, if you even read this part, mail me, even if it's just to tell me you don't want anything. You don't need to even write any message. Just be like, "Bitch, stop getting in my face about yo trip." . . . On a related note, has anybody talked to Kevin lately? I wuz sure he'd send me a list of stuff for me to get at the Stash. Hey KEV! IF Y'all are reading this, check your other e-mail accounts too! And tell me which one you check the most!. . . If you happen to read this tomorrow (Fir, 9-24-99), go to www.viewaskew.com and check out the game called "Thirty-Seven?!?" I scored perfect yesterday, so I got recognition and got pasted on the Web. I just thought you'd like to see the extent of my no-life-ness. . . I aced my AP Physics test. Man-o-man, I love having Hochschild. . . Finished first movie in Film class. Wasn't bad as a movie, if you can distance it from the obviously degrading racial stereotypes (it was about the birth of the KKK). . . Haven't been able to get Final Fantasy VIII. I slacked off & didn't get it the first week it came out, figuring that would be when the big rush was. I may as well have not preordered my copy. . . THIS IS COOL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Kenmore Water Distiller Well, with all the extra water we got around, extra dirt & microbes overloaded & got past the water purification plants. If it didn't, the water would attack the water plant itself & cause short circuits & what not. So everybody was told to boil their water for three minutes before drinking as a precautionary measure. Not, there are two problems with this. one, some of the water just evaporates away, and two, boiling only gets rid of bacteria and germs, not little bits of dirt & sand & that kinda stuff. So it was a good thing that Mom Bought one of those water distiller things. The way it works is that it boils the water until there's none left, but it collects the steam in a little chamber above it inside a container. It does it really efficiently so that very little water is lost. So get one of thses babies, cuz ya never know (Oh wait, when I didn't have electricity, I couldn't distill water. D'oh!). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAY WHAT?! "You won't believe what I got today." "Laid?" "I got the car! Wait. . . WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" - Laine Fefferman walks right into that one, LuKas guiding the way . . . *Skewie (n)- one who believes in the view askew, one devoted to the fables and teachings of our lord Father Smith. (without the religious overtones, anybody who likes Kevin Smith stuff) - LuKas "Be seeing you" ___________________________________________________ Get your own FREE Lukas Update Newsletter!
