The 5th mission I have in the old log was to visit wikipedia, click random article, and post the result. Today I received a fascinating report of the results of the 2008 Dublin Horse Show. It seems to have comprised of jumping horses over bars as fast as possible.

I fear responsibility in a dramatic, gut-wrenching sort of way. I have some now, and it causes me no end of anxiety.

I have that one, too, but I always thought of it as a pet peeve rather than a phobia.

I was at the Elmer Anderson Library looking at some of the special collections in the University Archives. I walked through a cute little city scape with cafes and shops to get there from the train stop. I didn't have much time to go in any of them, though.

I had to do some research at the University of Minnesota Library a couple of times, and I saved a bundle by staying at a Travelodge near the Mall of America and taking that train up to campus. So convenient! It was really, really cold when I was there, too, and I only saw a ticket checker once.

At 7:12 AM nonlinear_time participated in What's the most spontaneous thing you've ever done?:
This submission has been flagged by users. Click to view.
Hmm, other than spontaneously avoiding grading exams at every possible (and impossible, like right now) opportunity, I'd say the most spontaneous thing I ever did was a spur of the moment trip to Las Vegas one night at about 9pm when I lived in LA. My hubby and I were hanging out with a friend, and someone said we should go. So we did. Unfortunately, when we got there we were all incredibly tired and not at all in the mood to party. Even more unfortunately, it was a long weekend, and we couldn't find a hotel room at 2am. After driving all the heck over the place (at one point we almost made it to the Hoover Dam), we decided to just sleep in the car in the Tropicana parking lot. Yet still more unfortunately, it was February, and it was really, really cold overnight so none of us slept much. We were jarred awake at about 6:00am by some birds doing a very credible imitation of a cop tapping on the roof of the car to kick us vagrants out of the parking lot. We trudged next door to the Hooters Hotel and Casino and played kino in the bar until the buffets opened.

Good argument against spontaneity there.

I wanted to be a teacher when I was a little kid, although one of my friends assures that at some point I told her I wanted to be a nun (I have no memory of that). I pretty much stayed on track, but I teach in a university, which was not what I envisioned at 9 years old.

This submission has been flagged by users. Click to view.
Well, I'm at work and will have forgotten about this by the time I get home tonight, so I'll make a list of things I'd grab.
1. my swiss army knife- a nice big one with a saw and corkscrew.
2. my wind up/solar radio which is able to charge cell phones.
3. my iPhone so I could make notes and if the internet were up look up how to purify water
4. a compass (handily attached by a lanyard to my knife right now)
5. all my jewelry for selling/trading
6. a book to read, not sure which, though. I'm going to have to think about that more.
7. a box of salt (one of the most precious commodities in ancient times)
8. a lighter
9. a bar of soap
10. a book I will hopefully buy soon containing survival skills information-

This submission has been flagged by users. Click to view.
As a person who spends most of my time thinking about history, this is a really tough question. Today I would have liked to be peeking over Xerxes shoulder watching the Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE. Triremes crashing into each other... hand-to-hand fighting on the decks... Athens burning in the distance behind me. Credit for the painting: http://www.iannisnikou.gr/Hist5.htm

This submission has been flagged by users. Click to view.
Hmm, I have bought a LOT of second hand stuff over the years, and I know I have gotten some weird things. This is the best that comes to mind just now. It was a used army surplus gas mask bag somewhat like this one (couldn't find an exact match and the bag disintegrated long ago). It was my grunge "purse" in high school :P

I love military surplus as evident by my submission. I think I just like the feeling of things that had a life prior to having a life with me.

I used to like this show a lot, then started to get really, really annoyed... but I still watch it every week. I get some enjoyment snickering when the shows gets anthropological facts wrong for the sole purpose of making a plot point.

We've got few in Austin. I caught this one from nearby Blanco, tx in the car while out and about. There is also Independence Brewery and Live Oak, but I don't think Live Oak bottles so they're only available at bars in town.

@thedigitalghost They play in DFW periodically, so hopefully you can check them out next time they're up there. They're not doing many shows right now since they're mixing masters to shop around and getting ready to tour with some group I can't recall the name of in November.
