I'm sure many of you have seen this article and its inevitable follow-up about the "smut" in the game Mass Effect. No matter how many times I read it, I still sit in awe at how this person has convinced himself that he's created any sort of convincing argument ( Read more... )

You know, I was feeling a bit worried about how things were going to turn out this semester, but if this week's any indication I'm off to a good start. My roommate moved out on Sunday and, since I was able to get in touch with ResLife quickly enough, I have the room all to myself for the next few months. Beyond that, my classes appear to be very ( Read more... )

My roommate just moved out today! Woo ( Read more... )

After watching I Am Legend tonight, AvP:R last night, and 28 Weeks Later a few months ago, I've come to a simple conclusion: When the apocalypse comes, it will be children that lead intrepid survivors to their deaths. In I Am Legend, the little brother of the girl who saves Neville can't keep his mouth shut when there's a freaking zombie/vampire in ( Read more... )

I passed my calculus class, and that makes me jubilant. Jubilant, I say! Now that I've got my 3.5 cumulative, passed the PFT by a good margin, and made a good impression on the cadet wing and the cadre last semester, I'm almost assured to get my ROTC scholarship during the selection process next semester. Hurrah! I'm going to go watch the Potter ( Read more... )

I've made a significant discovery. My dorm room smells (that's not the discovery, merely a statement of fact to get this going). While this is not odd for a standard dorm, I'm pretty good about keeping food and clothing cleaned up and use air fresheners to deal with smells that emanate from sources beyond easy control. The problem has always been ( Read more... )

You know, its funny how sometimes you think of something as useless, insignificant, and too complicated for you to bother with. Then you are force to deal with this thing, and you realize just how critical and useful it really is. I have a Calculus test today, and was just going over some info on the Taylor series. I originally scoffed at it, ( Read more... )

"Hey, guys, let's watch a very loud movie at 2:30 in the morning!"

"Okay! Be sure to turn the volume up really high!"

God, I hate living in the dorms. I really need my own place.

I don't think this is confirmed yet, but this could be the first step in breeding the army of genetic super-monkey clones we need for world domination.

Until I go on active duty, I am never taking my shirts to a dry cleaner to get them cleaned/pressed. I got them back today and, sure, they had creases. Everywhere but where I was supposed to have them. It wasn't even like they had it a few centimeters off or something. The ones on the sleeves (the only ones that I'm supposed to have) were way off, ( Read more... )
