  • Beta went well today, and since I only got a few hours of sleep, I left early.
  • Went with Jacob to see Almost Famous. Amazing movie.
  • My Ohio State student ID rules. First, there is no expiration date on it, and since I live in Boston, it’s effectively good forever, as long as I look anything like I did then. When I got the picture taken, I had woken up probably 10 minutes prior and apparently had forgotten to brush my hair. To be honest, I don’t really remember the experience. I do remember trying to duplicate the I-can-eat-shit-and-still-be-happy-because-I-just-got-my-drivers-license grin, but I failed miserably. Suffice it to say, it is the single worst picture I’ve ever taken in my entire life.

    ticketdude: Do you have a valid student ID?
    joeshaw: Huh? Oh, uhm, yeah, I have a student ID. But, uh, you can’t see the picture. (shows it to him)
    ticketdude: Uh…
    joeshaw: Okay, okay. (moves thumb)
    ticketdude: Yeah, that’s pretty bad.
    joeshaw: …
    ticketdude: Uh, but I look like a terrorist in mine.
    joeshaw: Okay!

    Jacob may have his dignity, but at least I saved $3. Course, so did he.
