http://nick.ofadam.com/blog Sun, 19 Aug 2007 16:31:36 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This morning was the first in Lawrence that I haven't set an alarm. How fitting, then, that my smoke alarm, that industrial-strength banshee hanging from my ceiling, picked 10:00 a.m. sharp to open its mouth. As I and all the guys in my hall soon discovered, there's no snooze button ... http://nick.ofadam.com/blog/2007/08/19/alarming-news/ Apparently I'm in college now. My hall had a theme for move-in day - The Office. In an amazing coincidence, last night I bought a shirt on a whim. And wore it this morning on a similar whim. Michael Scott would be proud. ----- EDIT: It's only 6:30 pm on my ... http://nick.ofadam.com/blog/2007/08/12/the_temp/ I can't deny it. I have a soft spot for Google. My Gmail has been open almost non-stop on my computer for 3 years, Google Maps is the best (true that, double true), Google News keeps me apprised of the latest shenanigans of the likes of Lindsay and Britney and ... http://nick.ofadam.com/blog/2007/08/10/dont-worry-google/ ^New friend! New camera! New photos! New computer! New school! New motivation to update website? Only time will tell. http://nick.ofadam.com/blog/2007/08/09/new-post/ You know it's going to be "one of those days" when the sounds of thunder and hail reverberating against your bedroom window shake you out of what was an otherwise peaceful (albeit short) night of sleep. And you know it's going to be a day where you have to send ... http://nick.ofadam.com/blog/2007/03/29/deadlines-are-dead-to-me/ Some people go on cruises for their spring break. Others go on road trips. I...well, I go and perform surgery on my website for a few days and it comes out better than before with a new face and some new photographic meat. Besides the extensive aesthetic makeover, you'll notice ... http://nick.ofadam.com/blog/2007/03/25/open-for-business/ Early this morning, one of my best friends, Ryan Sageser, was killed in a plane crash in northern Oklahoma. His dad, Mark, not just my former cross country coach but someone I really respected and enjoyed being around, was also killed. Two of my other friends, Ryan Biedron and ... http://nick.ofadam.com/blog/2006/11/05/not-how-i-wanted-to-come-out-of-the-blog-drought/ School's in full swing. Cross country is running me into the ground. The newspaper is giving me a whole new perspective on stress. College applications are piling up. "The Office" starts this Thursday. I haven't put anything new on here in weeks. And somehow...somehow I'm considering redesigning this site. Someone go ... http://nick.ofadam.com/blog/2006/09/17/life-as-i-know-it/ I'm not a big TV guy. My free time usually isn't spent wasting away on the living room couch, basking in the warm glare of the small screen. That's what the Internet is for. I don't go for repetitive crime drama. I'm not a fan of shows about fake reality. And ... http://nick.ofadam.com/blog/2006/08/28/no-i-did-not-have-conan-obrien-fall-through-the-ceiling/ Talk about surreal. I got a little surprise on Friday during third hour. None other than Mr. Tom Gorman showed up to tell me that I needed to take a photo for CNN. You see, my good friend, Jake Voboril, just recieved perfect scores on both the ACT and the ... http://nick.ofadam.com/blog/2006/08/20/this-is-cnn/
