Lately it seems I'm finding myself weaker than I'd like to think myself. My internal declarations; I find myself watching as they flow out the mouth and dissipate into an ocean of reality. It's hard to recognize when your iron grip on your will has slipped free. I look down and unfurl to find nothing but stale air. I suppose it's better to ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back to applying for college again. Seems so long ago when I last applied to graduate school. I'll be applying at ASU, and probably Univ of Phoenix as a fallback, for the Fall '07 evening MBA program. I'm actually fairly excited, well, except for the whole taking the GMAT and writing 3 essays part of it; the actual schooling, that I'm ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a busy last week or so. I did end up getting a TV; a 27" (but not flatscreen; just the style that's close). It's a nice TV; open box but it has a lot of the things I wanted (S-video input; widescreen mode for video games; etc..).

My body is rebelling against the sleep schedule I've been attempting to impose on it. In other words; my brain doesn't want to shutdown before 4 AM. I know that must come as a surprise to some of you who are of the opinion that it never actually starts up :-P

Bought some weights when I was at walmart a couple of days ago... time to get in shape! I'm ( Read more... )

It's turkey time! And imagine this... I actually have two days off in a row. Tomorrow and Thurs. Thurs night I'm going over to my old friend Lara's place, where her family will gorge me I'm sure on turkey and breadstuffs... yum. It'll be a little odd to see her again; not sure if we'll get together before TG. It's a shame we're generally at each ( Read more... )

This is a list of the 50 most significant science fiction/fantasy novels, 1953-2002, according to the Science Fiction Book Club. Bold the ones you've read, strike-out the ones you hated, italicize those you started but never finished and put an asterisk beside the ones you loved.
