I recently started playing Heroes of Might and Magic V again. I picked up the game some time ago and played it a little bit, but I wasn't quite enraptured with it, in part because I was initially comparing it to Heroes IV and was missing some of the things I had really liked about its predecessor. Heroes V also used to crash on occasion, which was ( Read more... )

For whatever reason, I generally dislike listening to other people discuss an exam in that period just before they are about to take it and the time between when it's over and before the grades are received ( Read more... )

I fail at this "weekly" thing, but I suppose any amount of regularity and progress in posting blog entries is good for me. This is going to be a relatively short entry because rather than trying to think of a specific topic I want to reflect upon, I'm just going to briefly mention a few things that have been going on in the past few weeks ( Read more... )

Recently, I discovered that the messageboard Mary and I had created in high school for our own dark, devious purposes has vanished from existence. The old Ezboard site apparently switched over to something called Yuku, and while my account there still exists, the messageboards associated with it do not. The board Mary and I made was called "Depths ( Read more... )

I haven't updated in a little while, which is something I can attribute to both busy-ness and laziness, including a few subsets of said laziness, such as the fact that I spent some time getting my shaman in WoW to level 80 and decided to replay Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a game that I tend to replay every few years or so just because it's ( Read more... )

I saw an article in Reader's Digest in which the author described a number of common grammatical errors that people make. Being the fan of proper grammar that I am, I found the article very interesting. As I read through the various grammatical blunders that the author chose to detail, my reactions ranged from "Yeah, that bugs me too" to "Huh, I ( Read more... )

Well, a week has come and gone, and much as I expected, I could think of no topic worthy of blogging on. As a result, I am afraid I must subject my readers to a topic that I am very good at rambling on and on about: World of Warcraft. I know, I am disappointed too, for I had hoped to have something far more exciting to speak of, but putting off ( Read more... )

When I last posted in this journal (which was a great many months ago), Mary and I had made a pact to attempt to blog daily. The plan proved to be a bit too ambitious, so when we recently decided to renew our pact, we changed the terms to involve blogging just once a week. This should prove to be far easier to accomplish and probably much better as ( Read more... )

I am pleasantly, but confusedly, surprised by UT's class cancellations. Tomorrow is Veteran's Day and we have no classes. Since I don't recall ever getting Veteran's Day off at Case or in grade school, I do find it interesting that it's being observed. And we didn't have Columbus Day off a month ago, which surprised my brother who didn't have to ( Read more... )

I can't really think of anything to say, but I haven't updated in days, which is a direct violation of my contract. Simply waiting around for inspiration and motivation leads to nothing but rather long periods of waiting, as can be evidenced by the past few years of this journal's archives, so if I am to fulfill my aforementioned contractual ( Read more... )
