The stuff I come up with in the cooler at work... boy I tell you what...

I noticed a row of product that had new rollers and racks for six packs.  They're very fast.  So my mind, in its infinate fantasy and capacity, comes up with this little ditty.

"Could you imagine what might happen if we used LIMs (linear induction motors) instead of rollers for six packs?"

I start envisioning a brewery bottle line where twelve packs are coming off the bottling line onto a chute made of LIMs.  They're landing onto the chute and just flying into the wall at the end of the run, accelerating from zero to 100MPH in .05 seconds...
...and I find myself in the role of a worker, at the end of the line, attempting to say something to my supervisor.

CRASH.
"Damn, another one broke."
CRASH.
"There goes another one."
CRASH.
"Shit, someone get the mop."
CRASH.
"Dang what a mess!"
CRASH.
"Boss!  Hit the cancel button!"
CRASH.
"It's starting to flood!  Set up a dam or something!"
CRASH.
"Run for your lives!"

...And that's when my co-worker comes in.
"Who are you talking to?"
I skip a beat.  "Uh... my inner actor."

:bow:

You'd think with all this creativity oozing out of my brain right now that I'd be more compelled to write.  I have got a PILE of work on my desk right now, all for class, most of which needs to be done by May 1st. 

It just occured to me this morning that I won't really have much free time until Sunday - and that's Easter, which means we'll be out at my aunt's place for a few hours.  And no football on Easter, which means we'll probably end up playing a card game of some kind.  I guess there's the Masters, but even though I enjoy watching golf once in awhile, unless Tiger's playing I'd almost rather sleep to it. 

Anyways, I'm going to have to start working hardcore on that stuff.  To reiterate, I have to work on:

:bulletpurple: Raiders of Kalis Castle
:bulletpurple: Song of Sheival
:bulletpurple: The Wizard of Harper's Bay (which I haven't even started)
:bulletpurple: A World War One/Modern Comparison Paper

Not to mention the other fanfiction stories - which include:
:bulletpurple: Megan and Eva
:bulletpurple: Greg and the Submarine
:bulletpurple: Summer's Winter Romance
:bulletpurple: The Enchanted Wedding (which won't be until this fall probably)

:phew:

So those might be on hold if skoolwork comes first.  If I get a chance, I'll continue to post chapters from Morocco.

In fact, I'm probably good to upload one tonight.

At least the food'll be good on Easter.  Had ice cream cake for the old man's birthday yesterday, along with one fine steak.  As hot as the fire was, I'm astonished that the pile of snow that enveloped the grill (that was so dense that I could walk four feet above to fill the bird feeder out back) was still surrounding the grill when I took the steaks off.  Now that's what I call impressive.

Maybe this weekend there won't be any more trace?  I'm not crossing my fingers. 

Ugh.  Getting burned out on this skool thing.
