Last night I actually watched an entire political debate and was pleasantly surprised. When I first turned it on I figured I'd watch a couple minutes and find out if by some miracle it was actually interesting. Turns out they decide to have an actual debate. Instead of the usual 1 minute answer followed by multiple 30 second rebuttal, there was an ( Read more... )

Well, I finally made it back home. Actually, I made it back yesterday, but I was so tired from the trip that I spent most of the rest of the day sleeping. I am REALLY unhappy with Delta right now. On the way down to Arizona we missed our Salt Lake City connection due to mechanical problems on our first jet. In fact, we missed the last flight to ( Read more... )

I know I'm a few days early, but I leave town tomorrow and won't have reliable internet access until the 28th. So merry christmas. And if you don't celebrate christmass, then merry whatever you do celebrate at this time of year.

I would like to share my thoughts on a couple of news stories I saw today. Now, I know this is not a political blog, or a news blog, or anything like either of those. I also understand that what I say here will have a negligeable impact on the rest of the world, but these two stories just pissed me off. One story has to do with extreme liberals ( Read more... )

Last Wednesday I took my final for A&P 1 and a miracle happened: the teacher actually had them graded within the hour. So where, you might ask, was my inevitable egotistical bragging about my grade? Did I perhaps do so bad on the final that I failed the class? No, I got a 99 resulting in the seemingly inevitable (by that point) 4.0 for the quarter ( Read more... )

Going into class this quarter I had only two goals. One I had no worry about gewtting and one I expected to be a stretch. The one I wasn't worried about was getting a 4.0 out of the class. And I'm still easily on track for that. The other goal was one I wasn't sure I could do. I wanted to get at least 100% on at least one test. I knew my best ( Read more... )

After beating Halo 3 (oh my god it had an ending) and Assassins Creed (it's actually better than Halo was) I finally got around to getting to work on Oblivion. And man am I glad I don't have any other games to distract me. Not only did they fix the four problems with Morrowind, they actually added some really cool stuff to the Elder Scrolls games ( Read more... )

Ok, Wednesday of last week I got a 360 and some games. Last Saturday I also added Assassins Creed to my collection. I think I may have said some of this earlier, but as a result I neglected to study for my last test at all. Unless you can't the frantic review 20 minutes before the test, and I don't. When I took the test, I had a terribly dificult ( Read more... )

Cortana: Do you have an escape plan?

Master Chief: I thought we'd fight our way out. Mix things up a bit.

For one whole week, I now have the appartment to myself. I'll actually be able to play my new games on my new system at a sound level were voices can actually be heard. On the down side, I'll have to cook for myself, but that's okay. I just wish I didn't have to get ready for a test this Monday so that I could enjoy the entire time. Oh well, can't ( Read more... )
